Nancy J. Adler: Synergistic Cross-cultural Management Research as a Societal Responsibility
摘要
Nancy Adler is one of the pioneers and most preeminent scholars in cross-cultural management research. On the one hand, she has been studying interculturality in organizations since the 1980s and has published on innovative topics such as intercultural synergy. On the other hand, her textbook International Dimensions of Organizational Behavior serves as a basis for teaching and research in cross-cultural management for academics all over the world. Her research focuses on internationalization strategies, expatriation, multicultural teams, women as global leaders, corporate social responsibility, and arts-based leadership and social responsibility. In her publications, Adler presents key aspects of interculturality in work contexts based on her own research or in the form of presentations and commentaries on other research. She views dealing constructively with cultural differences as a humanistic task.
