Primary research areas

Global Knowledge Management

I study how knowledge is sourced, created, transferred, and used in multinational enterprises, and how organizational design and subsidiary characteristics shape these knowledge processes. 

Immigrants and Knowledge Sourcing

I explore how immigrants, through their knowledge and networks, support firms’ innovation and international expansion, and how organizational factors condition these effects.

Post-Acquisition Integration

I investigate how acquisitions affect innovation and show how integration management can mitigate disruptions, foster collaboration, and reshape R&D outcomes.

Firms and Misconduct

I analyze how firms respond to misconduct and scandal, focusing on how they manage internal and external stakeholders afterward to sustain dialogue and preserve innovation.

I help firms turn knowledge into value, responsibly

My research supports organizations in harnessing knowledge across borders to build capabilities and navigate complex global environments. It provides evidence-based strategies on how multinational enterprises, subsidiaries, and hybrid or work-from-anywhere teams can sustain knowledge flows, collaboration, and performance despite physical distance. 

My work also helps make sense of how immigrant talent and diaspora networks contribute to firms’ access to international technologies and markets, and how diversity can shape innovation outcomes. I also study how firms respond to corruption, misconduct, and scandals, showing organizational choices that influence legitimacy, stakeholder relations, and the continuity of knowledge work. 

Overall, my research offers managers perspectives on how organizational design and people management can turn dispersed expertise into long-term value for firms and society.
