Linking institutional context to the community and career embeddedness of skilled migrants
Migration is one of the most pressing global issues of our time. However, relatively little is known about the factors and mechanisms that govern the post-migration experiences of skilled migrants. We adopt an acculturation- and social identity-based approach to examine how differences between institutional characteristics in the destination and origin country, as well as migrants’ experiences with formal and informal institutions shape their ide…
Banking elites and the transformation of capitalism in Switzerland
Swiss capitalism has changed over time, adopting elements of the coordinated market economy and liberal market economy during specific historical periods. Taking the case of the Swiss banking sector, this article aims to demonstrate how these changes in structure also result in the transformation of the profiles of banking elites. Relying on a prosopography of 301 top bankers distributed among seven benchmark years (1890, 1910, 1937, 1957, 1980, …
How mobile is the transnational business elite? Evidence from Swiss banking executives
Over the last two decades, a growing literature has examined the emergence of a transnational business elite. However, the pathways of transnational mobility have not been fully characterized. In this article, we use a combination of sequence analysis and the concept of a career script to investigate the geographical mapping and organizational contexts in which transnational mobility occurs. To achieve this, we rely on a database of 186 executive…
The road to an international career
This study is part of a framework that views study abroad programs as an opportunity for experiential and transformative learning. Using a mixed-methods approach with a quantitative multi-wave study, this research examined the relationship between cultural intelligence and the internationalism career anchor – the individual predisposition and desire for international mobility for work. This study considers the role of resilience and intercultural…
Gender and the career trajectories of highly skilled Syrian refugees in Switzerland
This article looks at the role of gender relations and norms in the (re)making of career trajectories of highly skilled Syrian refugees in Switzerland. We explore how refugees encounter gender regimes while making sense of their present work situation vis-à-vis their career plans. We draw upon a qualitative study conducted with 27 highly skilled Syrian refugees in Switzerland. How do refugees encounter different gender regimes in Switzerland? Wha…
From ‘digital nomadism’ to ‘rooted digitalism
This article explores the interplay between digital work and mobility through a look at the career trajectories, remote work practices and im/mobilities of professionals in the information technology (IT) sector. We draw upon a qualitative study conducted with IT professionals who work remotely for Swiss or Swiss-based international companies. IT professionals have been pioneers in practising virtual work long before the outbreak of the COVID-19 …
(Im)mobilities, waiting and professional aspirations
This article contributes to emerging research on the dynamics of mobility and immobility in forced migration through a special focus on the experience of waiting in refugees’ professional life. Wide research across the social sciences explores the dynamic relationship between migration control systems and migrants’ experiences of time through the analytical lens of “waiting”. However, it missed considering how the experience of waiting impinges o…
When the ‘well-oiled machine’ meets the ‘pyramid of people
This article examines the middle management representations of organization and managerial roles within a specific bicultural organizational context. The argument explores the extant cross-cultural management literature and identifies two predominant positions: a functionalist-stable stance and a dynamically interpretive perspective of culture. Historically, both positions have contributed to understanding management roles and behaviours in diffe…
European top management careers
Research on European business elites has been dominated by a ‘national career model’ approach, arguing that each country has a specific top management career pattern. In recent years, this line of argument has been challenged due to the increasing international circulation of top managers. To examine the impact of internationalisation on career models, we will draw on a database of 916 top managers in Germany, Switzerland, France and Britain. Our…
L'évaluation participative et responsabilisante
Dans le domaine de la recherche et du développement, les projets entre acteurs publics et privés sont souvent complexes à coordonner à cause de la diversité des objectifs des acteurs et de leur fonctionnement en réseau. Nous présentons dans cet article une méthode d’évaluation participative et responsabilisante qui permet de mieux structurer ces réseaux PPP d’innovation. Notre recherche s’appuie sur quinze évaluations de projets de PPP, réalisées…
