Contents:
Because organizations today must survive in increasingly dynamic environments, many organizations are adopting more streamlined, adaptive hierarchies that increase the use of teams in daily operations. At the same time, organizations are expanding their geographic boundaries and alliances to become more efficient global competitors, and are choosing team members from a more global pool of organizational participants. Thus, teams have become more pivotal for organizational success and simultaneously have become increasingly multicultural and multinational.
Much previous research has focused on identifying differences in work processes among cultures. However, we know very little about the dynamics of multicultural or multinational teams as they work embedded in turbulent environments. The purpose of the workshop is to offer a forum for this focus, and to encourage researchers to explore the dynamics of multicultural and multinational teams. Examples of possible research topics for multicultural/multinational teams include: · Leadership and followership issues · Effective team design and composition · Influences of time perspective or perception differences on team performance · Effects of differences in culture of origin on team processes · Inter-team dynamics · Team conflict antecedents, manifestation, and effects · Effects of differences in communication patterns on team functioning · Collaborative processes · Differences in team decision making preferences and decision outcomes · Negotiation processes · Knowledge creation and management · Processes in virtual multicultural teams
Special Volume of JAI Advances in International Management:
The volume special editors, Joseph Cheng, Gerhard Fink, Etty Jehn, and Wolfgang Mayrhofer, will invite the authors of the accepted full papers to present their work at the workshop. Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a special volume of the JAI Press series, Advances in International Management, edited by Joseph Cheng and Michael Hitt.
In order to facilitate a lively discussion of pertinent topics, drafts of papers to be presented will be distributed to workshop participants approximately two weeks before the workshop takes place.
