Many of the research agendas at individual universities apply globally! We believe there is merit in exploring how researchers in different countries and cultures can collaborate to create valuable research outputs with a meaningful contribution worldwide.
We provide a networking opportunity for researchers
If you are an emerging researcher, our members might be able to assist you with shaping and framing your research.
If you are already successful with your research, this open forum of qualified academics will allow you to quickly identify colleagues with whom you might wish to work collaboratively across borders.
The outcomes might be more widely applicable in theory or practice when they are tested in different business environments, cultures, countries and firms.
Research Context
We believe a solid reality-check for contemporary business research can assist with the shaping of research questions that are of interest to business leaders worldwide. Through the commercial consulting experience of some of our members, some research projects might be enhanced to be value to corporate clients.
Example
During the work done to identify governance issues for small/mid-size firms in one country, it became apparent that this is an issue which touches enterprises worldwide. Through the Directions Understanding Governance project, several researchers and universities now participate in this important global research.
