    Dare to be different! Why (IHRM) Research Needs to Change

    About the Presentation

    "Dare to be different" will be a different type of seminar. Rather than dealing with a specific research paper or topic, it will take participants on a journey of what needs changing in IHRM research. Although the presentation should be of interest to everyone, it is primarily aimed at early career researchers.

    The seminar will discuss the need to broaden our population, improve our theoretical grounding, and take interdisciplinarity seriously. It will also suggest the use of novel research methods and research topics to address grand societal challenges, and more generally encourage researchers to dare to be different and critical. Throughout the seminar, examples from Anne-Wil Harzing's and other academics' research will be used so participants can follow up on the debates.

    Drawing on Anne-Wil's own experience in her 30-year academic career in IHRM, the last third of the seminar will discuss how "daring to be different" might work out in practice and how to navigate academia as a PhD student/Early Career Researcher.
