SFU Business Professor Rosalie Tung joined the ranks of Canada's top scholars when she was elected in June to fellowship in the prestigious Royal Society of Canada. Election to the Society is considered one of the highest honors open to Canadian academics because it means that an individual's peers have judged his or her research contributions as exceptional.
Tung, along with other new Society fellows will be inducted Nov. 22, 1997. Governor General Roméo LeBlanc is expected to officiate.
Tung is ranked among the world's top five international business scholars and was acknowledged for contributing "significantly" to the theory and practice of cross-cultural understanding in business. She is the first international business researcher to be elected to the society and only the third elected from business administration in general. The society cites Tung's "seminal" studies of international human resource management and her comparative studies of Western-Asian management practices.
The Royal Society was established in Canada in 1882 as a national academy to promote learning and research in the arts, humanities and the social, natural and applied sciences.
