Profile
My
special interest is in communication technology, knowledge management,
learning technologies and organizational communication. My work aims to
explain and improve today’s world of work by studying communication and
knowledge sharing in business settings.
Another
focus is intercultural communication, which is one of the most
challenging aspects of global organizations. Under which circumstances
can organizations profit from multicultural settings and how these
challenges of intercultural collaboration can be addressed?
I
very much enjoy working with OSU students especially in that field
because this university provides an international and multicultural
environment, and most students will face such a working environment
later on.
My expertise is based on many research studies
at the University of Aachen and my tenure at Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD) for about 7 years, most recently as Manager of Learning and
Development.
