Abstract
The authors provide examples for modern slavery in international business, point out the disturbing fact that IB research has largely been silent on the issue, and provide an initial explanation and examination of the subject through the lens of Inst tudonal theot y Snejina Michailova and Christina Stringer then ask, "What conversations on modern slavery can and should the IB scholarly community address?" and so encourage you, our valued AIB Insights reader, to learn more about the topic and integrate it into your IB teaching and possibly also your research agenda. The authors discuss several theoretical perspectives that may facilitate a better understanding of the. influences of Clİs on entrepreneurial behaviors across cultures, examine some of the mechanisms by which CLTs may influence cress- cultural ent epreneurship, and sketch out implicao.;,s for IB research, pedagogy and business practice. More specifically, he examines the interesting organizational cultural phenomena of voice and silence, and conceptually explores the national cultural dimensions of power distance as well as individualism and collectivism as direct antecedents of cultures of voice and silence, and the moderating effects of participatory and directive leadership behaviors.
