Many management scholars are interested in taking their career to a new culture and context. Although the opportunities to teach and conduct organizational research at business schools around the globe have significantly increased, first-hand information on business schools outside of North America and Europe can be hard to come by. This PDW is designed for both junior and senior OB scholars who would like more information regarding academic careers at reputable business schools in the Pacific-Asia region. It will bring together seven panelists currently working at schools in Australia, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The panelists include junior and more senior faculty, who are “international hires” themselves, and/or have experience in recruiting and hiring international faculty for institutions in this region. The panel will provide information, highlight challenges, and share distinctive features for academic careers in each country/region, including tacit knowledge and unspoken rules that applicants should be aware of. Topics for discussion include: What does the hiring and job application process look like? How are faculty evaluated, and what types of tenure and contracts are used? What are key challenges that international faculty experience in adapting to the national culture and university system? What was most surprising for international faculty, so far? What are the norms of professional conduct (e.g., do’s and don’ts in presenting oneself and one’s work)? The PDW includes individual presentations by panelists, country-specific roundtable discussions, and a closing Q&A.
