“Dragon Ladies and Women Who Run with Wolves: Three Female Leadership Cases in Game of Thrones”

Fiona Moore

This paper analyses three cases of female leadership in Game of Thrones, with a view to understanding how a popular television series constructs different forms of female leadership and, allegorically, represents the challenges female leaders face in international organisations from male subordinates and colleagues. Drawing on the HR literature on leadership, particularly in cross-cultural settings,

“Modern Slavery: Why Should HR Scholars Care?”

Snejina Michailova

Modern slavery is widespread. Hardly any country is immune to it, and almost no industry is shielded from it. Both formal and informal economies breed it. Some of it is found domestically, some of it crosses borders. Modern slavery is typically viewed as a societal issue; it is enabled by socioeconomic, institutional, and geographical factors.

“Wanderlust to Wonderland? Insights into the EU research project GLOMO”

Maike Andresen

This webinar will present research findings from the Horizon 2020 project GLOMO and provide insights into the management of an international consortium of over eighty people from academia, politics, and business.

“Incorporating Social Responsibility and Sustainability into IHRM Teaching”

Günter K. Stahl

In this webinar participants will learn how to incorporate social responsibility and sustainability into the design and delivery of international HRM (IHRM) courses.

“Using Works of Art To Illustrate Ways of Knowing in IHRM”

Jaime Bonache

This seminar focuses on an innovative teaching method to explain ways of knowing and research paradigms (i.e., positivism, interpretivism, and critical theory) in master’s degree and doctoral degree courses. The method consists of using works of art to illustrate these paradigms, an initiative launched originally by the French philosopher Michel Foucault. Despite Foucault’s influence on

“Global Strategies, Local Connections: Navigating Gender Diversity Management”

Andri Georgiadou

This webinar delves into the multifaceted role played by informal social networks in shaping organizational approaches to gender diversity management. These informal networks act as vital intermediaries, exerting a significant influence on how institutional mechanisms impact organizational strategies for managing gender diversity and fostering inclusion. Interestingly, while institutions certainly wield influence over structures and their

“Let’s talk about language!”

Rebecca Piekkari

People, not organizations, speak languages. This webinar introduces language-sensitive research in IB and explains why and how it emerged. It provides an overview of current state of knowledge and discusses potential avenues for future (interdisciplinary) research. During this webinar, we will problematize the way translation has been treated in quantitative and qualitative IB research. Instead,

“Surviving Challenging Fieldwork Without Losing Your Mind (and Soul)”

Yvonne Kallane

Researchers undertaking fieldwork in fragile contexts are often required to immerse themselves among people and events that can be tough to observe, interpret, and write up. The complexity of such work is likely to elicit powerful and potentially harmful emotional responses for the researcher that, if untreated or unrecognised, can leave them at risk of

“Time is on our side? Towards more time-sensitive research in IHRM”

Wolfgang Mayrhofer

Time is an essential and classic, yet underdeveloped issue in IHRM studies. However, time has an often long and distinguished pedigree in a number of scientific disciplines such as philosophy, physics, sociology, psychology, and organization studies. They constitute rich sources of inspiration and refreshment for the field of IHRM. From these sources crucial general anchor

Informal Network Research in International HRM

Sven Horak

Informal networks are a societal phenomenon that can be a significant obstacle to the effectiveness of international managers and expatriates. However, informal networks can simultaneously enable and facilitate business activities and support the efficiency and effectiveness of managerial actions. While informal networking has been universally regarded as an important feature of expatriate effectiveness, respective network

Adjustment Reimagined!

Expatriate adjustment has been extensively studied in the international business literature over the last three decades, and several reviews and meta-analyses have provided many good insights about this topic. Because of this progress, some scholars have suggested moving away from adjustment and focusing on other expatriate experiences. In this webinar, we argue for continued research
