Research Interests Description
My research explores the dynamics of international business, organizational culture, and interorganizational networks, with a particular focus on multinational corporations (MNCs). I examine how firms navigate complexities in internationalization, knowledge transfer, and strategic partnerships, emphasizing the role of cultural fit, relational ties, and experiential learning. Through a combination of empirical analyses and conceptual development, my work advances understanding of how organizations leverage interlocking directorates, absorptive capacity, and diversification strategies to optimize performance in global markets. By integrating perspectives from strategic management, international business, and organizational behavior, I provide insights that are valuable for both academic inquiry and managerial practice in an increasingly interconnected world.
