We are pleased to announce the John H. Dunning visiting fellows
for the 2015/16 academic year, hosted by the John H. Dunning
Centre for International Business at the Henley Business School,
University of Reading. We received 15 applications for the
program for this year, from a variety of applicants across the
world.
The two new fellows are:
Jenny Hillemann
A postdoctoral fellow at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel from where
she received a Ph.D. in Business Economics in December 2014. Her
research includes the managerial analysis of multinational
enterprise strategy and the broader governance challenges facing
international firms.
Ajai Gaur
Associate Professor of International Business at Rutgers Business
School, he received a Ph.D. in Business Policy and Strategy from
the National University of Singapore. In his research, Dr. Gaur
studies the distinct institutional influences on firms'
international expansion strategies in different institutional
contexts. A related focus of his research is to study
institutional influences on various firm-level governance
mechanisms and their strategic and performance consequences.
The visiting fellowship programme is aimed at creating
opportunities for researchers at the early-to-mid stages of their
career to visit and collaborate with academics at the Centre, and
to utilise resources associated with the John H. Dunning Library.
Dunning Fellows are expected to be actively engaged in the field
of international business (broadly defined), and with an
inclination towards multi-disciplinary and theory-driven research,
in the tradition of John Dunning. Visiting fellows are expected
to give at least one seminar, and to spend between 2 and 4 weeks
in residence over an academic year (between September and June).
I am sure you will join with me in congratulating the successful
candidates.
Kind regards
