Dr. Shaista E. Khilji is Associate Professor of Human and Organizational Studies at the George Washington University (GWU), Washington, DC. She earned her PhD in International Management from University of Cambridge, UK. Dr. Khilji’s research interests are focused upon making sense of the complexities and transformations surrounding management of contemporary organizations.

Currently Dr Khilji is pursuing four different research projects which are focused upon: a) global adoption and implementation of strategic HRM, b) growth of global firms and their impact on societies, individuals and organizations, c) global leadership mindset, and d) the concept of integrated innovation.
