Henk Vinken
A sociologist f
ocused on exploring the driving forces of youth and how they engage in the workplace, in education, and civil society. Henk addresses how young generations differ from older generations and how their desire to have flexible life courses influences most of their choices. These insights support decision makers to develop more effective ways to communicate with (young) generations in the workplace, education, and civil society. Since 2005 he works on behalf of Pyrrhula BV, his own company. Until late 2009 he also served as a fellow a OSA, Institute for Labour Studies, Utrecht University, Netherlands. During 2000-2004 he was director of IRIC, Institute for Research on Intercultural Cooperation, Tilburg University, Netherlands, as the successor of IRICs co-founder/director Geert Hofstede. He held visiting professorships at several Japanese and German research institutes and was a visiting scholar at the ISR, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. He has published well over 120 books, book chapters, journal articles, and research reports, and is active in several international networks.
