Talk by Dr. Jerome Rive, Dean of the IAE Lyon School of Management

Students and Faculty are invited to attend a talk by Dr. Jerome Rive, Dean of the IAE Lyon School of Management at University Lyon 3

Friday, November 22nd at 3:00 – 3:40 pm
Sauder School of Business, Room HA 243

Presentation title:
French perspective on International Business and Management of Multinational Companies

Presentation Summary:
The presentation will be based on a collective undertaking involving 21 members of the International Management team of the IAE Lyon School of Management Research Center which resulted in the publication of a book, edited by Dr. Ulrike Mayrhofer in 2013; « Management of Multinational Companies: A French Perspective ».  The presentation will focus on companies, established or operating in France, which engage in foreign direct investments and own or control added-value businesses in different countries. While multinational management has already been widely studied by scholars, the aim of the presentation is to provide an in-depth reflection over a cross-section of firms that are either French or operate in France. It will show the importance of contextualizing MNC theory and will reveal the variety and complexity of managerial choices when national markets are decompartmentalised.
