Minitrack:
“Culture, International Business, and Knowledge Systems”
This minitrack explores the impact and role of culture on managing knowledge and designing
and implementing knowledge systems within local and global groups and organizations. This is crucial for instance for internationalizing firms and already global organizations. Success of their international business operations and marketing is depending on
effective learning and knowledge coordination. Our minitrack covers broad issues related to culture (sub-cultures as well as national cultures) and knowledge systems. We are open to all methodological and theoretical approaches and welcome papers as well as
research-in-progress papers from researchers and practitioners.
Potential topics in our minitrack may include, but are not limited to:
