Hugo Gaggiotti

My focus of research is on the intersections between leadership, organizational narratives and professional mobiity from an interdisciplinary organizational ethnographic approach (I hold a PhD in Anthropology and a PhD in Management). For the past three years I have acted as director of awarded British Academy-Newton Fund projects to conduct research in industrial plants of the borderlands between Mexico and the United States. I am currently leading an applied research study of how organisations could provide better support to families, children and youngsters in the Chihuahuan-Texan borderlands (Ciudad Juárez, Mexico). My most recently updated research profile is here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hugo_Gaggiotti​ Area of expertise Global Management, Intercultural Leadership, Global Careerism, Innovative Research Methodologies in Business and Management, Organizational Ethnography, Anthropology of Multinational Corporations.​
