Management of national diversity at the individual, group, and societal level

Objective

Given the increase in human mobility within an enlarged European Union and the growing interdependence of the global economy, European corporations face increasingly challenges in successful dealing with their diverse workforces inside and outside Europe. The research objective of our EST "Management of National Diversity (MONDE)" is to improve the understanding of how national diversity in organizational groups affects team processes and outcomes at various organizational levels (top management boards, tas k forces, project teams). We will use an interdisciplinary research approach that spans the international management, strategic management, and other social science fields. We will collect demographic data through large-scale survey inquiry and archival da tabases as well as conduct case study research. Concerning early-stage researchers, the training program is aimed to provide systematic and fellow-specific training. First, a structured PhD program provides the ESRs with the fundamental knowledge for conducting scientific research, both method-wise and content-wise. Second, the ESRs will apply the methodologies and research skills they have learned in real projects: in other words, "learning by doing". Third, the ESRs can customize their complementary skill s training according to their individual needs (e.g. presentation skills, writing skills). Overall, our training is intended to equip the participants with three requisite competencies for future academic careers: concept training, method training, and communication training. Early-stage researchers will be joining other guest-students at the University of St. Gallen from all over the world; Europe, North- and South-America, Asia and Australia. Thus, the training participants will experience and learn to work in multinational research teams, thereby not only doing research on team internationalization but simultaneously "living it".
