    *** Apologies for cross-postings ***
    Dear colleagues, 

    Let's talk about language! Please register for our next IHRM webinar on April 27th. We are pleased to be joined by Rebecca Piekkari (Marcus Wallenberg Chair of International Business, Aalto U School of Business, Finland) for a discussion on language-sensitive research in international business.

    PRESENTATION ABSTRACT
    People, not organizations, speak languages. This webinar introduces language-sensitive research in IB and explains why and how it emerged. It provides an overview of current state of knowledge and discusses potential avenues for future (interdisciplinary) research. During this webinar, we will problematize the way translation has been treated in quantitative and qualitative IB research. Instead, translation is offered as an approach that has implications both for theory development as well as methodological advances in IB and the IHRM field.
