With the 2016 G7 Summit set for late May in Japan, that's the question that Angelo Camillo, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Strategic Management in Woodbury University (http://woodbury.edu/) "My research will examine the underlying philosophy that makes these countries economically advanced compared to others," Dr. Camillo said. "My theory is that some of the key success factors of the leading firms in these seven countries have a direct correlation with the G7's success overall." According to Dr. Camillo, "comparative strategic management" remains an important yet understudied field in international management, across disciplines and across nations. "Research shows that there is much more to be discovered within the context of globalization and the global strategic marketplace," OECD's Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises provide non-binding principles and standards for responsible business conduct in a global context, consistent with applicable laws and internationally recognized standards. The guidelinesaim to promote positive contributions by enterprises to economic, environmental, and social progress worldwide. "The guidelines add to the complexity of global strategic management and how firms operating in the most industrialized nations compete," Dr. Camillo said. "Although non-binding, firms may be compelled to show commitment and participation. The decisions are often based on political and economic interconnection with stakeholders and yet they manage to compete globally with firms that may not have to consider the OECD guidelines. "The goal of my research is to strategically investigate and compare the firms' distinctivecapabilities or weaknesses, especially if they positively contribute to the economy of the nation in which they operate," he said. The research effort will also examine how a country's policies may influence international- For the duration of the project, Dr. Camillo will maintain a "research work base" in Europe through an affiliation with the University of Molise in Campobasso, near the west coast of South Central Italy, where he has been visiting professor since 2007.
