This sub-track invites papers interested in a range of scholarly debate on the role and effects of multiculturalism and transnationalism which echoes and reveals the nature of individual, group, and team interactions at social and organizational level, manifesting challenges and opportunities for businesses, compelling them to, effectively, appreciate its nature, influence, and causes, paving the way to more democratized organizational processes and dynamics. We encourage contributions from scholars from a broad range of disciplines: organization studies, management, human resource management, psychology, gender studies, sociology, politics, and economics. This sub-track invites papers interested in a range of scholarly debate on migration, Global South vs. Global North business relations; conceptualizations of multiculturalism and democratic organization; how transnationalism is reconfiguring understandings of global organization and social development; how transnationalism shapes meaning and understandings of individual, group, and social identities, transnational communication and digital media; changing demographics and implications for international HR and development;, off-shoring, and other relevant topics that can shed light on how Multiculturalism Paves the Road to Democratized Organizations. Papers among other innovative approaches may address gender, race, and diversity role in the democratization of organization to advance knowledge and critique of: (1) new models in the analysis of individual cultural orientation and approach to multiculturalism as a way to democratize organizations, (2) theoretical constructs for the examination of multiculturalism as a source the foundation of democratized organization, (3) an examination of educational approaches to prepare new employees and executives in successfully operating in multicultural settings with leadership perspectives that can promote organizational democracy, and
(4) new way organizations can overcome multicultural challenges to operate their businesses democratically, locally & globally.
