Dr Michael F. Ward, Dean of Studies, ESC Rennes School of Business, said, “We are, needless to say, immensely proud of Taran’s achievement which, while it reflects well on our institution and its efforts to promote high quality academic research for the world of international business, is of course primarily an accolade for Taran herself – she has worked extremely hard these past four years, combining full-time teaching with her doctoral research, and fully deserves this award. ESC Rennes is very proud indeed to have Taran on its staff and believes that she will make an important contribution to research into cross-cultural management in the years to come.”
