In a recent Academy of Management (AOM) annual meeting in Chicago, MU School of Business faculty Dr Olga Ryazanova and Professor Peter McNamara received the “Global Forum” Award for their paper. The Academy of Management is a leading academic organisation in the field of management with almost 20,000 members worldwide, more than 11,000 of whom attended the annual meeting this year.
Among more than 130 papers submitted to the Management Education and Development division of AOM, MU faculty’s paper was chosen as the paper that best creates the opportunity to address global issues of significance to management education and/or development.
The paper, titled “International Mobility in the Age of Managerialism: To Go or Not to Go” reports on the study that explored the careers of 376 European academics. The study provides insights into the influence of international mobility on careers and work outcomes of knowledge workers, and has implications beyond academic context.
