Dear colleagues,
We warmly invite you to our Professional Development Workshop at AOM 2026, Philadelphia:
Rethinking Global Talent Mobility in the Geopolitical Era: Psychic Distance as an Individual-Level Friction (Session #18751)
🗓 Saturday, 1 August 2026 · 13:30–15:00
📍 Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown · Mezzanine, Salon 3
Sponsored by the IM & TIM Divisions
As geopolitics redraws distance - U.S.–China decoupling, semiconductor supply-chain restructuring, talent-security policies - how are mobility, teams, and organizing being reshaped? Four short provocations trace one chain (geopolitical trigger → individual friction → team / organization → governance → outcome → a researchable insight), and then we build a research agenda together on a live board. All are welcome.
Organizers: Ayano Fujiwara (Tohoku University) · Isabel Gausí Carot (University of Valencia)
Speakers: Arho Suominen (VTT) · Ying-Ying Hsieh (Imperial College Business School)
Please add Session #18751 to your program - and feel free to share. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards,
Ayano
