Upon invitation by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Donald C. Hambrick and Prof. Dr. Jonathan Bundy, Dr. Lorenz Graf-Vlachy recently visited the Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College of Business. He met with his hosts and other faculty to discuss potential joint research projects. First research ideas at the nexus of Upper Echelons Theory and top managers’ language were exchanged and presented in the brownbag seminar of the Management and Organization department. Lorenz will return to PennState in April for two months as a Visiting Scholar.
