Aimée A. Kane serves as an Associate Professor of Management at the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business at Duquesne University. Her academic career focuses on understanding how individuals navigate boundaries created by social distinctions, organizational structures, and national cultures. As a faculty member, she contributes to both the Management department and interdisciplinary research initiatives across the university.
Dr. Kane's research interests center on social identity processes in organizational contexts, with particular emphasis on knowledge transfer mechanisms and group dynamics. Her work explores how bicultural individuals manage identity threats when spanning global boundaries, how language shapes group processes and cohesion, and how newcomers influence team acceptance and knowledge utilization. She investigates the psychological processes involved when individuals cross organizational and cultural boundaries, examining how identity strategies affect collaboration and performance.
Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent scholarly contributions since 2005, with a notable increase in productivity from 2013-2019. Her research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between organizational behavior, social psychology, and cross-cultural management. A recurring theme across her work is how social identity mediates knowledge transfer processes, particularly in boundary-spanning contexts. She has developed theoretical frameworks explaining how superordinate social identities facilitate knowledge consideration and transfer, especially for less demonstrable knowledge.
While specific awards are not mentioned in the available information, her publications appear in high-impact journals including Journal of Management Studies, Organization Science, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. Her collaborative work extends across institutions, with co-authors from universities including NYU Stern School of Business and University of Sussex.
Dr. Kane's research has practical implications for global business operations, particularly regarding the management of bicultural employees in international projects and the design of effective interdisciplinary research teams. Her findings on language-based identity strategies offer concrete guidance for newcomers seeking to integrate successfully into new teams and organizations.
