Our caucus aims to explore how regional contexts shape the development and implementation of management and organizational practices. It offers a conversation about how global trends in management practices intersect with regional variations, and how local sociocultural, economic, and institutional factors influence organizations at different levels.

Through this dialogue, we hope to generate a roadmap for increasing the integration of regional perspectives in management and organizational studies, promoting a more inclusive and context-sensitive approach to global business practices. The caucus offers a unique networking experience and will contribute to a collaborative report with practical recommendations for incorporating regional insights into global frameworks.
