Research supervision

In my previous positions at the Universities of Tilburg, Maastricht, Bradford, I have supervised some 25 MA dissertations (minor theses), mostly in the area of international management and (international) HRM.

Current and past research students

• Nick Stone (PhD, PT, Melbourne, Australia): Assessing changes in levels of intercultural effectiveness.
• Sebastian Reiche (PhD, completed 2007, Melbourne, Australia): Knowledge Sharing through Inpatriate Assignments in Multinational Corporations: A Social Capital Perspective.
• Richard Scott-Young (Masters, completed 2003, Melbourne, Australia): Transformational leadership in project management.
• Barry Hocking (Masters, completed 2002, Melbourne, Australia): The strategic role of expatriates in multinational corporations: a knowledge transfer perspective.
• Barbara Myloni (PhD, completed 2002, Bradford, UK): Transferability of HRM practices in European MNCs. The case of Greece.

My approach to research supervision is to ensure that my students develop themselves as well-rounded academics, rather than simply finishing their theses. I actively encourage them to join professional associations as early in their studies as possible, to go to Summer schools and conferences, and to build up their own networks.
