On behalf of Geert Hofstede, Mark Peterson and myself I would like to invite you to send PHD students and/or junior faculty to a workshop/conference on cross-cultural management research that we organize for the second time at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, in May.
This year we will focus on conducting empirical research as well as teaching cross-cultural issues, in addition to the readings of some of the fundamentals of cross-cultural research.
The participants will be expected to have read the reading material beforehand and have sent a few questions pr text that they would like to explore. The participants are also expected to present a paper. The facilitators and the participants will have the possibility to give individual feedback to the participants.
