International virtual organizations vs. the theory of the multinational firm
The topic for Bjørn-Tore Flåten's trial lecture on 1 April, 2011 is: How can international virtual organizations be included in the theory of the multinational firm?
The trial lecture and public defence takes place in B2 003 Campus Kristiansand, Gimlemoen at 12:15 on Friday 1 April. The title of the doctoral dissertation: Problem Solving in Extended Virtual Teams.
Research Fellow Bjørn-Tore Flåten graduates from the PhD programme in International Management.
Excerpts from press release:
In support of his findings, Flåten points to problem solving as a social process. He recommends that the organisational structure for collaboration should not only facilitate solution development processes within the formal boundaries of the firm, but also include the external participants in the process. Firms can do this without losing their competitive advantage. The findings suggest that extended virtual teams, can solve complex problems, and have fun while doing so.
