Mahmood Aslam

My research endeavors delve into the intricate intersection of international management, strategy, and organizational dynamics, with a keen focus on three overarching domains:

  • Geopolitical crisis and MNEs,
  • Migration and International Business Research
  • Future of Work in the context of globalization

I am enthusiastic about engaging with students who share a passion for exploring these compelling areas of inquiry, and I welcome collaborative efforts to advance our understanding of international business dynamics in an increasingly interconnected world.
