I include this research area because it is of particular interest in promoting the development of collaborations in international settings. Since the initiation of the Global IT Leadership program in 2009, I have worked with a graduate student from China to develop the core for a relationship management system that can be used to moderate cultural influences in business practice.
I also work with colleagues in a leadership team with members from Canada, India, France, Norway, Copenhagen, New Zealand and the US, in supporting a doctoral scholarship program for students conducting research in MSR and supporting the Research Consortium for New Faculty and Students conducting research in management and spirituality.
I continue developing research with colleagues from India, Manila and Korea, to extend our research on spirituality and submit papers to international conferences.
I also work with researchers in Australia and the US to improve the level of research submitted for publication in MSR conferences and journals.

Although this list does not represent all of the collaborations I share, it is representative of those I have worked with to promote better scholarly activity within the AOM community.
