International Staff and Diversity in Missions
Ch. 5. P. 95–112.
Contemporary universities have many different tasks. Next to the traditional research and teaching mission, universities are also expected to engage in other activities that create social value. A balance between these different tasks varies across higher education systems, institutions, and individuals. This chapter examines the position of international staff on this landscape of different missions. International mobility is usually associated with research excellence. In this chapter we empirically examine the difference between local and international staff to test this image about international staff. The analysis shows that international staff is indeed significantly more oriented towards research and less on teaching, both in their intrinsic interest and time investment. Difference with respect to ‘third mission’ activities is small. International staff is equally or even more active in activities like patenting or creating spin-off companies. On the other hand, they are underrepresented in activities that are embedded in a local context, such as serving on expert committees or undertaking consultancy work. This triggers a question about an optimal engagement of international staff in the diversity of missions.

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms face intense pressure to internationalize, yet the traditional playbook—lengthy R&D cycles, costly market research, and standardized campaigns—often struggles to deliver local relevance at speed. This article argues that crowdsourcing—digitally mediated, large-scale consumer participation—can complement established internationalization tools by mobilizing local knowledge and community endorsement to mitigate key aspects of the ...

Relevance and diversity are critical objectives in modern information retrieval (IR), particularly in recommender systems. Achieving a balance between relevance (exploitation) and diversity (exploration) optimizes user satisfaction and business goals such as catalog coverage and novelty. While existing post-processing reranking methods address this trade-off, they usually rely on greedy strategies, leading to suboptimal outcomes for ...

We study how a reduction in communication cost affects equilibrium diversity (in expertise) in hiring decisions. The key trade-off is that, while hiring a more diverse team may enlarge the team's pool of knowledge, it also makes communication between the hired experts more challenging. Equilibrium diversity balances this trade-off. We find that equilibrium diversity may ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have predominantly mirrored neurotypical brain architectures (NBA), optimizing for efficiency, predictability, and standardized cognitive patterns. However, non-neurotypical brains (NNB) exhibit unique neurochemical, hormonal, and functional mechanisms that underpin divergent thinking, creativity, and alternative problem-solving strategies. Drawing from evolutionary biology, we emphasize how neurodiversity serves as a critical mechanism for adaptability, survival, ...
