After several years as an engineer and information systems consultant, Professor Blecherman returned to the academic world at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where he received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Decision Sciences. He joined the faculty of Polytechnic University's Management Department in 1994. His writings reflect his interest in the quantitative aspects of management science, in the areas of behavioral decision theory, information economics and strategy, game theory, and judgment bias in managerial decisions.
While working as an engineer for R.C.A., and later as a consultant in computer systems, he was involved in classified work for U.S. Navy computer operating systems on AEGIS class cruisers, financial processing systems for a large bank, and the design and implementation of an optical character reader. His experience includes project and technical management, business strategy, marketing, and computer systems management. He has consulted to start-up firms and Fortune 500 companies in areas of strategy, pricing, negotiations, and analysis.
