Project Description
The growing presence of global organizations that operate across geographically dispersed and culturally diverse zones have led to the formation of multicultural teams (Lisak, Erez, Sui, & Lee, 2016). Previous research has been conducted on the effects of positive prior experiences between participants on teams with relation to the participants on their current teams (Buvik & Rolfsen, 2015). Further research needs to be conducted to understand not only how individuals learn from their positive prior experiences, but also from negative prior experiences and how it affects future working behaviour. Therefore, the aim of this research project is to explore and better understand how individuals working on multicultural project teams learn from their experiences. The research question of the dissertation is “how does learning from experiences that individuals have on multicultural project teams relate to their working behaviour on future teams?” This research project operationalizes a longitudinal qualitative study of individuals working on multicultural project teams.

Project Description
Since June 2021, the Department of International Management has been working and researching together with the Department of Strategic Management on the project: Open Strategy in Times of Crisis: Strategising in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The project is funded by the 1st Applied Research Call of the JKU Business School.
The aim of the project is to understand how organisations can use the concept of Open Strategy in mitigating the effects of crises, and at the same time ensure a more open culture in their strategic decision-making in the long term, leading to better strategic decisions overall.
The project is being carried out as a case study in cooperation with an Upper Austrian world market leader in the welding industry, whereby a close link between the departments of the JKU and the company will result in a longitudinal view of the strategic opening of the company.
