Professional
Development Workshop on Language in International Management
Research
Mary Yoko Brannen (Gustavson School of
Business, University of Victoria), Philippe Lecomte (President
of GEM&L, Toulouse
Business School), Terry Mughan (Royal Roads University) and
Helene Tenzer (Tübingen
University) cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming
professional
development workshop (PDW) on Language in International
Management Research at
the Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Anaheim.
The workshop will take place on Friday, August 5 2016, 1:00PM - 3:00PM at Anaheim Convention
Center
in Room 201D.
This PDW aims to provide participants with a
better understanding of the multifaceted empirical, theoretical
and methodological
challenges posed by language diversity in international
management and offers opportunities
to explore future research directions in the area. This topic is
a key
challenge to international management theory and firm
performance, as evidenced
by the recent special collection on language in the Journal of
International
Business Studies
(http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jibs/collections/language/index.html).
The PDW will comprise keynote speeches by Terry
Mughan and Tsedal Neeley (Harvard Business School) along with a
short overview
of the research field by Helene Tenzer. We will also organize a
roundtable
discussion session in which participants will have opportunities
to share their
research interests, compare findings, and discuss challenges and
opportunities
of exploring the role of language in international management.
Registration for this PDW is not required, but
in case you are planning to attend this event, we would
appreciate if you could
notify us here: http://geml.eu/en/aom-registration-3/
Thank you very much for your attention and
we hope to see you in Anaheim.
With best wishes,
Mary Yoko
Brannen, Philippe Lecomte, Terry Mughan, and Helene Tenzer
