Mahmood also has a keen interest in management topics such as knowledge exchange, venture success, and legitimacy building, and has published his research on these subjects in reputable journals such as the European Management Journal, Journal of Knowledge Management, and Journal of Small Business Strategy.

My research endeavors delve into the intricate intersection of international management, strategy, and organizational dynamics, with a keen focus on three overarching domains:

• Geopolitical crisis and MNEs,
• Migration and International Business Research
• Future of Work in the context of globalization

I am enthusiastic about engaging with students who share a passion for exploring these compelling areas of inquiry, and I welcome collaborative efforts to advance our understanding of international business dynamics in an increasingly interconnected world.
