Research Interest
A psychologist by training, Professor Stahl’s research interests are interdisciplinary in nature and lie at various points of intersection between strategy, organizational behavior, and international management. His special areas of interest include the dynamics of trust within and between organizations; responsible leadership; and sociocultural processes in teams, alliances, mergers and acquisitions; and how to manage people and culture effectively in those contexts. His research has been published in leading academic journals, such as Organization Science, Journal of International Business Studies and Journal of Applied Psychology, and has been profiled in a wide range of media including the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times. His book Mergers and Acquisitions: Managing Culture and Human Resources (with Mark Mendenhall, Stanford University Press, 2005) – a unique collaboration between leading M&A scholars and M&A-experienced senior executives – has been praised as “the most insightful and practical account yet of how one can get a grip on the ‘softer’ social, psychological and cultural aspects that are at the heart of successful integration.” He is co-editor of Developing Global Business Leaders: Policies, Processes, and Innovations (Greenwich Publishing, 2001), co-editor of Readings and Cases in International Human Resource Management (Routledge, 2007, 4th ed.), and co-editor of the Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management (Edward Elgar, 2007). Günter is also a Research Fellow of the Centre for Global Workforce Strategy, Simon Fraser University, and principal investigator for the Asia-Pacific region of the Global Human Resource Research Alliance, a large-scale research project on global best practices in human capital management.
