Call for Papers: Temporary Organizing

Organization Studies, the official journal of the European Group for Organization Studies (EGOS), invites submissions for a Special Issue on

“Temporary Organizing”

Today’s turbulent business environment is heralding an increase in organizing in a flexible, ad-hoc manner that involves a constant adaptation to opportunities and change. One salient, yet understudied, way in which firms are changing as a consequence, is on their temporal attributes. The present special issue seeks to bundle, investigate, and push further the current frontiers of such “temporary organizing” research and deepen our knowledge of how temporary organizing interacts with more permanent organizing forms such as organizations, networks and fields.

Papers must be received by September 30, 2014.
