 Assistant Professor Jacobo Ramirez has won an Emerald Literati 2019 Highly Commended Paper award for the paper "Ambidexterity strategies in illegitimate institutional contexts: the role of informal institutions", co-authored with C. Vélez-Zapapata and S. Madero, S. and published in 2018 in Management Research, Vol. 16 No. 2, pp. 197-218.

 

In their article, Jacobo Ramirez and his co-authors argue that the presence of non-governmental armed groups forces firms, HR departments and front-line managers to strategically exploit security measures inspired by employees’ informal institutions to protect firm assets while implementing innovative exploration strategies  to improve employee work conditions, survive in

unsafe environments and remain internationally competitive.
