Vijay Gurbaxani Biography
Vijay Gurbaxani is the Taco Bell Professor Emeritus of Information Systems and Computer Science and Director of the Center for Digital Transformation (CDT) at UC Irvine Paul Merage School of Business. His research, teaching and consulting interests are at the nexus of business strategy and information technology (IT). He focuses on analyzing how emerging information technologies enable business model innovation; on developing and evaluating business-driven strategies for the sourcing of information services; and on valuing IT investment. His approach is distinctive in its use of economic principles as the lens with which to analyze strategic management questions.
Gurbaxani has extensive experience in management education and advisory services, having lectured worldwide on management issues, taught extensively in degree and executive education programs, and consulted for and provided research expertise to many organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, technology service providers, and leading consulting firms. He has been a visiting scholar at the business schools at Stanford University and at MIT. In 1994-95, he was a Research Fellow at Computer Sciences Corporation, where he reported to the President of the Technology Management Group.
Gurbaxani has an active research program supported by funds from the National Science Foundation and from industry, having raised over $5M during his career. He authored the book, “Managing Information Systems Costs,” and has published numerous articles in premier journals in his areas of specialization including Information Systems Research, Management Science, MIS Quarterly and Sloan Management Review. His expertise in outsourcing was recognized when he won the 2002 Outsourcing World Achievement Award in the Academic category by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Michael Corbett and Associates at the fourth annual Outsourcing World Summit Conference & Exposition.
He also served as Senior Associate Dean from 2006 to 2008 and Associate Dean of the MBA program from 2004 until 2006 and from 1995 to 1999. In both terms, he led the school’s efforts to develop and implement new innovative curricula aimed at providing students with the capabilities and knowledge needed for success in the businesses of the future. In his first term, Gurbaxani initiated and then led the development of the school’s new strategic focus on the transformative role of information technology in business, an approach which led to widespread external recognition of the business school as a center of excellence in IT in business.
Gurbaxani received an integrated 5-year Master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He received Master's and PhD degrees in Business Administration from the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Rochester, New York. His doctoral thesis won the prize for the best dissertation in a worldwide competition sponsored by the International Center for Information Technologies.

Vijay Gurbaxani Speaking Topics
A strategic keynote for leaders on how AI is redefining competition, productivity, and growth. Artificial intelligence is a foundational technology driving a new industrial revolution, redefining the logic of competition, productivity, and growth. Grounded in cutting-edge research, this keynote equips CEOs to lead enterprise-wide transformation: reframing strategy around a bold new vision, redesigning operating models to move at the pace of AI, and mobilizing talent and technology to capture its full value. Through cross-industry cases and a proven transformation framework, leaders see how to expand the production frontier, translate AI investment into operating performance, and build durable competitive advantage, with the clarity and confidence to act now.
Key Takeaways
- How AI is restructuring the logic of competition across industries
- A proven framework for enterprise-wide AI transformation
- How to translate AI investment into measurable operating performance
- Building durable competitive advantage in the AI era
Audience: CEOs, C-suite executives, board directors, and senior strategy leaders.
Format: 60 to 90 min keynote; also available as a half-day executive workshop
A keynote on the mindset, fluency, and investment conviction required to lead firms in the AI era. AI, as a general-purpose technology driving an industrial revolution, is catalyzing a structural shift in business, one that demands a fundamentally different model of leadership. This keynote argues that the defining leadership capability of the AI era is fluency: a comprehensive understanding of what AI can and cannot do, how it evolves, and where it breaks. Fluency, however, is only the starting point. Leaders must develop the conviction to make large, staged investments whose returns materialize only when complementary capabilities (data, talent, operating models, and governance) are fully in place.
Key Takeaways
- Why AI fluency is the defining leadership capability of this decade
- The investment logic that separates AI winners from laggards
- How to build complementary capabilities that compound AI returns
- Developing the conviction to make bold, staged AI investments
Audience: CEOs, board members, and senior executives navigating AI strategy.
Format: 60 to 90 min keynote; fireside chat format available

Key Takeaways
- The five dimensions of the Transformation Flywheel framework
- How complementary investments compound to drive reinvention
- Aligning strategy, workflows, and workforce for AI execution
- Turning fragmented AI initiatives into a self-reinforcing engine
Audience: CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and transformation leaders driving enterprise AI programs.
Format: 45 to 60 min keynote; workshop and advisory formats available
