The Peel Family Pathways Project is preparing a knowledge dissemination March 30, 2023. Join us as we present our findings on the needs and services pathways of immigrant and refugee families in the Region of Peel. 

With the recognition that immigration and refugee families have complex and variable needs, requiring numerous services, we have developed a Family Needs Framework and Service Pathways to assist in easing the settlement process for families integrating into the Region of Peel. 

Register at the eventbrite. The meeting time is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM.

Published in the Journal of Management, the paper was highlighted in the Rotman Commerce News Release Section as “Developing An Intentional Organizational Culture Not Straightforward, New Paper Says. This paper was written by Prof. Toh (University of Toronto—Mississauga), Yeun Joon Kim (University of Cambridge), and Sooyun Baik (Shanghai Tech University). 

The paper analyzes three unique perspectives on culture creation and change‑‑functionality, leader-trait, and cultural transfer perspectives— to improve future research on creative functional cultures. They propose a four-stage model coupled with the theory of coordinated actions to guide how organizations should create functional cultures.
