With a PhD in Management Sciences, I specialized in Cross cultural Management. My research focuses on HRM issues related to the development of cross cultural competencies and, more recently, Generation Z’s cultural representations.
My teaching is inspired with a life experience on three continents.
I teach in all emlyon business school programs and conduct continuing education seminars that aimed at preparing managers to approach work in an international context.

Intercultural competencies are among the soft skills sought after by companies.
According to Ang and Van Dyne, intercultural competencies enable you to “function effectively in culturally diverse situations.”
In other words, they allow you to adapt and adjust your behavior based on your understanding of these situations.
The term is plural because intercultural competencies include four dimensions: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral.
Being able to understand the cultural background from which the other person communicates, as well as the values and behavioral norms influencing their practices, is essential for working in broad multicultural contexts.
