I conduct research on bicultural talent management. In particular, I am interested in whether and how Japanese and Danish multinational companies perceive of, access and use bicultural talent in their day-to-day activities. The overall aim of my dissertation is to contribute to international business research on bicultural individuals in organizations by refining our understanding of how to better leverage bicultural skillsets of the global talent pool. I do this by teasing out the relationship between biculturalism and bilingualism, and focus on the implication of these two skillsets for the efficiency of knowledge sharing practices within and between multinational companies.
