Adebowale Akande is internationally known as a leading scholar in cross-cultural research, management, and globalism. His work, in collaboration with distinguished experts like Bernard Bass, Susan Fiske, Peter Smith, Mark Peterson, David Watkins, Robert House, and others, investigates the complexities of effective leadership, interpersonal work dynamics, and the varied cultural values that shape contemporary societies. Akande's extensive research ranges from analyzing learning patterns to probing the cultural foundations of leadership expectations and the crucial alignment of CEO behaviors with these expectations for maximum leadership effectiveness. His insights also encompass understanding social perceptions and biases, scrutinizing the formation of stereotypes and prejudices, and the impact of social dynamics, such as cooperation, competition, politics and power structures, on reinforcing or counteracting these biases.

He is a foundational member of the 2004 [GLOBE] study, the most extensive and renowned study of its kind within the social sciences. Akande has been honored with numerous awards, including the Commonwealth Academic Fellowship in 1992, the IUPSYS International Award in 1996, and the Frank Andrew Award University of Michigan in 1996.

He was a co-recipient of the 2007 Ursula Gielen Global Book Award and the Gordon W. Allport Prize in 2005 for his research on ambivalent sexism and global family relations. Renowned for popularizing cross-cultural studies, he currently holds the position of international director for IR GLOBE in Vancouver and serves as a guest professor at several Canadian universities in British Columbia, Canada.
