🌍 Session Overview
This caucus explores the dynamic tension between global convergence and regional divergence in organizational and management practices. Drawing from diverse regional insights-from Türkiye to India, the Middle East to Southern Europe-we invite scholars and practitioners to discuss how local sociocultural, economic, and institutional dynamicsshape the design and implementation of management practices.
By engaging in this dialogue, participants will co-develop a roadmap for embedding regional perspectives into global organizational theory and practice. The session also offers a unique networking opportunity and will contribute to a collaborative report featuring practical recommendations for enhancing context sensitivity in international management scholarship.
