What are the concepts and perspectives, processes and outcomes of leadership in South Asia? How (and why) are these influenced (or not influenced) by gender and/or generations? How do South Asian women lead multinational companies and other organizations in South Asian and/or non-South Asian context?
What are some of the current views of gender and generations in leadership in South Asia? What new views are emerging?
How does gender or generations intersect with other forms of identity such as social class, faith, ethnicity, caste and urban/rural background and to what extent do such intersections affect leadership in South Asia?
How is gender reproduced, maintained, negotiated and re-created through practice and development of leadership?
What are salient features of women's multiple social identities in South Asia? How do these reinforce, neutralize and constitute each other to construct leadership identities?
How are gender and/or generational stereotyping portrayed in South Asian leadership? How does this effect business?
Do the younger generations of leaders act as agents of change. How?
What are the varying gender and/or generational expectations from leadership? How are organizations accommodating these expectations in South Asia?
What is the relationship between global and local ways of understanding gender and generation in leadership?
How is leadership development related to gender and emerging leaders?
Given that entrepreneurial ventures provide women the opportunities to practice leadership (Bullough et al., 2015), how does entrepreneurial creativity and independence allow women to become good leaders? What are some of the opportunities and challenges that women may be faced with as an entrepreneur leader?
For theoretical contributions, we also encourage stocktaking reviews and analyses. If researchers are to pursue this line of research, we strongly encourage them to review Stinchombe's (2002) conceptualization of theory development, Glynn & Raffaelli's (2010) meta-analysis of leadership research, and Khilji & Matthew's (2012) review of research focused upon South Asia.
