Sustainability is the leitmotif that strings through many theories of the organization. In this module, we explore the historical roots of sustainability in management research and examine sustainability through several theoretical lenses represented in organizational scholarship. We will discuss empirical strategies and methodological approaches used by scholars studying sustainability. Through critical discussions of assigned readings, we will place the research interests of the module participants in the context of the current literature on sustainability to identify avenues for potential contributions.

The course is intended to expose doctoral students to the major research areas that underpin the field of international management. Some of the areas will include the impact of globalization, the role of multinational corporations, international entry modes, and corporate and national culture. A number of seminal articles will be assigned to familiarize students with the variety of theoretical and empirical approaches used in the study of international management. The intent is to raise questions in reviewing the articles to uncover avenues and opportunities for pursuing further research in the field.
