Dr. Bullough publishes in premier journals (Journal of Management, Academy of Management Perspectives, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Leadership Quarterly, etc.), serves on the editorial review board for Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice and has presented at numerous international business and management conferences. Her newest stream of research revolves around her role on a 7-person core research team for the GLOBE 2020 Project — a global culture and leadership research initiative with data covering 99% of the world’s GDP and 97% of the world’s population.
