Ivar Padron Hernandez

I am an assistant professor in management at the Institute of Innovation Research at Hitotsubashi University. In my research, I explore interactions between the global and the local, with a special focus on often unwritten rules and codes of behavior. For my doctoral dissertation, I conducted over 100 hours of interviews to explore and explain how subsidiaries of multinational enterprises balance conflicting expectations from corporate headquarters and domestic stakeholders. In recent research, I complement interviews with natural language processing techniques to collect and analyze large amounts of news articles. My work has been presented at various international conferences, including AIB, AOM, EGOS, SASE and SMS. I have received several awards for my research and reviewing, including the 2020 Grigor McClelland Doctoral Dissertation Award. My dissertation was also a finalist for the AOM IM Division D'Amore-McKim School of Business, Northeastern University Dissertation Award and the ISPIM Innovation Management Dissertation Award.
