A new research group on Global and Comparative Strategy from the University of Edinburgh Management School invites scholars to jointly participate in the exciting exploration of innovative and creative ways of theorising, conceptualising and studying International Strategy and Cross-Cultural Management.
We believe that the two fields of International Strategy and Cross-Cultural Management stand at the forefront in finding answers to the challenges, the globalisation process is posing. Accordingly, much research has been done in these two streams of research. However, in our view, the dialogue between these two growing management areas is still underdeveloped. Therefore, we wish to contribute to more and better dialogue between these two related, yet distinct subject areas and foster integrative research.
The workshop is organised on the basis of a call for papers, coupled with keynote addresses by invited speakers and the authors of the best papers (one best overall paper and one best paper written by a junior scholar).
Dr Markus Pudelko (Workshop Convenor / Managing the Human Factor across Cultures)
Dr Björn Ambos (Management Practices of the Multinational Company)
Professor Chris Carr (Convergence and Divergence in Management Practices)
Professor John Henley (Internationalisation Strategies of Companies)
Dr Michael Mayer (Management Practices of the Multinational Company)
All chairpersons are from The University of Edinburgh Management School.
We are very proud that we have been able to get three most distinguished speakers in international strategy and cross-cultural management to give a keynote address.
