Research Projects

Employing a strategic stakeholder management perspective, our work focuses on the measurement, management, and mitigation of risk in international business and management and how to proactively respond by building and enhancing organizational agility and resilience in a VUCADD world. We examine how strategic agility and organizational resilience can be optimized internationally to respond to external threats, enhance employee and leadership capabilities and performance, adapt business models, and reduce value chain vulnerabilities.
