PDW-Global Research Collaboration PDW

When:  Aug 5, 2023 from 10:30 to 12:00 (AT)
Associated with  Organizational Behavior (OB)

Numerous societal grand challenges (George et al., 2016), such as climate change, sustainable development, eradication of poverty, decent working conditions, and economic growth, require global collaboration. To meet these challenges, management scholars may increasingly require not just content knowledge but also skill in collaborating with one another across national and cultural boundaries. The ‘Global Research Collaboration PDW’ centers around questions related to how to initiate, organize, coordinate, and maintain a global research collaboration, as well as how to overcome obstacles and manage different institutional and cultural logics in the global context. By recognizing research collaborations as an explicit area where scholars may develop and exercise skills, this workshop will foster reflection and practice exchange amongst researchers. This workshop will encourage global and/or early career management scholars interested in global collaboration projects to learn from established researchers and ask questions about global collaboration projects. We will accomplish these goals through a hybrid workshop with two interlocking features. First, a selected group of experienced scholars share their global research collaboration experiences. Second, PDW attendees will engage in roundtable discussions to help identify success factors for global collaboration and discuss practices to facilitate and improve existing and future projects.
