Florian Bartholomae, core faculty member at Munich Business School, presented his collaborative research, “Mobile Working vs. Labor Mobility: Impact on Urban Development,” at the recent NARSC 2024 Conference in New Orleans.
The paper, co-authored with Alina Schoenberg and Marie-Luise Göschl – both from IMC Krems (Austria) – examines the interplay between remote work and migration patterns, shedding light on how these trends shape urban spaces. With remote work becoming an integral part of the broader digital transformation reshaping companies and processes, the research explores its ripple effects on cities and communities.
The presentation was well-received, sparking engaging discussions and constructive feedback that will help refine and advance the research further. At Munich Business School, we prioritize research that addresses relevant societal challenges, aligning with our mission to foster knowledge with real-world impact.
The MBS research framework adopts a multi-level approach, addressing current metatrends – like digital transformation – across the dimensions of society, organizations, and individuals. While this particular work examines the broader societal consequences of remote work on urban development from an economics perspective, other MBS projects focus on the impacts of increasing digital communication at personal, psychological, and organizational levels. The ELDiCo (Exploitative Leadership in Digital Communication) project specifically investigates the phenomenon of exploitative leadership within the context of digital transformation, offering valuable insights into how evolving communication patterns shape leadership behaviors and organizational dynamics.
To truly understand today’s complex world and actively shape the future, it is essential to adopt diverse perspectives and explore challenges at multiple levels.
