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.
