The Institute for Global Work

The Institute for Global Work (IGW), founded in 2007, was made possible by a $1.67 million gift from the Keane Foundation to Boston University School of Management.

IGW is an influential driver of research and thought leadership—one that shapes and guides leading-edge practices for global business processes.   With a mandate to foster partnership between industry and academia, the institute works collaboratively with member companies, worldwide academic bodies, and think-tanks to generate compelling research that motivates managers to think and work differently on a global scale.

How and Why IGW Was Formed

• Introducing “Globalization 3.0” and the Institute for Global Work
