Through this study, we hope to increase understanding of the context, considerations and practices to leverage the amazing diversity of our region.

This is one of the largest studies in Asia to highlight gender differences and evaluate how psychological safety, inclusion and belonging result in strong teamwork which in turn contributes to building high performing great workplaces.

How Ties With Family Members Influence Professionals' Creativity In Family Businesses: The Role Of Hive Effect And Trust, Rameshwari Ramachandra

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Many Asian enterprises are family businesses. In recent years, there has been a growing body of research on creativity in Asian firms, but few studies on the creativity of the professionals working in Asian family businesses.

I proposed that the number of family members in a professional’s network would positively predict the professional’s creativity, and that this effect would be mediated by the family members’ affective and cognitive trust in the professional. …

Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)

Many East Asian companies employ a Confucian management style. A Confucian management style is characterized by: paternalism, centralized control, harmony and expectations of obedience (Miles and Goo, 2013).1 Accounting is a mechanism that enables control by providing knowledge that can be used to control employees and with such control come expectations of obedience. Several accounting researchers have employed the Foucauldian concepts of surveillance, enclosure and the making of efficient, docile bodies to show how accounting enables managers to discipline, control performance and exact obedience (Knights and Collinson,1987; Cowton and Dopson, 2002; Hopper and Macintiosh, 1993; Macintosh, 2002). While these case …

Globalization Tropes In Films: A Focus On Crazy Rich Asians, Nikhilesh Dholakia, Deniz Atik

Marketing Faculty Publications and Presentations

Learning from and encouraged by the impacts of film film-based windows into globalization phenomena, in this issue of MGDR, we have focused on the film Crazy Rich Asians.

The buzz around this movie does, however, indicate a slight bend in the curve of the geopolitics of the globalization discourse – and hence our decision to feature a number of academically insightful reviews of this movie …
