About
Dr Dorottya Sallai is an Associate Professor (Education) in Management. She serves as the Department of Management’s Education and Assessment Innovation Lead, Chair of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Working Group, and the department’s representative in LSE’s AI Working Group. Her work in management education focuses on innovation and the integration of digital technologies, simulation games, and generative AI into teaching, learning, and assessment practices.
In her interdisciplinary research, Dorottya explores how organisations and leaders navigate institutional transitions and relationships at the intersection of management, politics, artificial intelligence (AI), education, and policy. She is particularly interested in how executive decision-making, strategy, foreign direct investment (FDI), and education are shaped by global political and technological changes, such as the rise of populism and the emergence of generative AI (GenAI).
Dorottya has received consistent recognition for teaching excellence, including LSE’s Outstanding Teaching Award and Excellence in Education Award, the Department of Management’s Academic Contribution Award, and first place in the Top Ten Teachers’ Award.
Drawing on her professional background in EU consulting prior to her academic career, she advises public- and private-sector organisations, as well as European institutions such as the European Commission.
She is an affiliate of LSE’s Data Science Institute, and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
