Call for Papers
Leadership and governance OF and IN public and private organizations in CEE
countries
9.-11.9.2015; 12th Chemnitz East Forum
The Chemnitz East Forum is a traditional institution and a platform for researchers studying management and organizational processes in transformational contexts of Central and East European (CEE) countries. The 12th Eastforum Chemnitz will particularly address the issues of leadership and governance in public and private enterprises in these contexts.
We would like to invite research papers exploring different aspects of leadership and corporate governance with respect to CEE countries. We particularly encourage research which critically deals with current leadership and governance challenges and tensions in public sector organizations, also with reference to manifold effects of New Public Management, such as personnel shortages, workload compression or fear of job loss. Critical considerations of leadership topics in private enterprises are also welcome. Unlike
mainstream leadership research, we would like to encourage potential submitters to explicitly deal with leadership as a context-specific and context-sensible phenomenon, be it public vs. private sector, country- or function-specific context. Additionally, studies fundamentally questioning leadership and its impact as well as the ideological aspects of leadership are highly appreciated. We welcome submissions based on traditional leadership and management research, as well as papers drawing on concepts from philosophy, anthropology, sociology or organization theories and making them fruitful for leadership studies. We are open to theory-based empirical studies, grounded in any methodological tradition (qualitative as well as quantitative), conceptual contributions or papers dealing with methodological issues or questions.
Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: 30.4.2015
