Arun Sundararajan (Tamil: அருண் சுந்தர்ராஜன்) (born in the United Kingdom) is the NEC Faculty Fellow, Associate Professor of Information, Operations and Management Sciences and a Doctoral Coordinator at the Stern School of Business, New York University.[1] For 2010-11, he is also the Distinguished Academic Fellow at the Center for IT and the Networked Economy, Indian School of Business.[2] Dr. Sundararajan is an expert on the economics of digital goods and network effects, and also conducts research in the emerging area of network science.

Life and work

Arun Sundararajan graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 1993 with a B.Tech in electrical engineering. He subsequently attended the University of Rochester where he received an M. Phil in operations research and a Ph.D. in business administration. After he earned his doctorate, he joined the faculty at New York University, where his teaching and research have focused on the economics of information technology (IT) and social media.[3]

Sundararajan's scholarly research analyzes what makes the economics of IT products and industries unique.[4]. He argues that over the last few decades, there are three technological invariants—digitization, exponential growth, and modularity—that have characterized and distinguished information technologies[5], and that these invariants lead to the ubiquity of information goods, digital piracy and network effects in IT industries. His research papers illustrate how these distinctive economics of information technologies warrant new pricing strategies[6][7], careful digital rights management[8][9], and a deeper understanding of network structure and dynamics[10][11].

Sundararajan periodically publishes opinions about information technologies and economic development in India. [12] [13] [14] [15] He has been elected to the editorial boards of the prestigious journals Management Science and Information Systems Research (where he is currently a Senior Editor[16]). He co-founded the NYU Summer Workshop on the Economics of Information Technology[17] and the Workshop on Information in Networks[18]. He received a 2010 Google-WPP Marketing Research Award[19], the Best Paper award at the 2008 INFORMS Conference on Information Systems and Technology, and the Best Overall Paper award at the 2004 International Conference on Information Systems.
