COMPETENCE-BASED STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT –
STRATEGISCHES KOMPETENZMANAGEMENT
9th SKM Symposium
Explicating the Multi-Level-Perspective of Dynamic Capability Research
21./22.9.2015; Bochum
Program comittee: Jörg Freiling, Martin Gersch, Wolfgang Güttel, Jochen Koch, Birgit Renzl, Uta Wilkens
SKM-Symposia provide platforms for intensive discussion and exchange of research ideas, and work in the field of Competence-based Strategic Management. In September 2015, the Chair for Human Resources and Work Process Management at the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum/Germany will host the 9th SKM-Symposium.
The 9th SKM Symposium aims to further explicate the multi-level perspective in dynamic capability research. In this regard, various fields could be discussed in depth, for example routinized action of organizational renewal, group dynamics for enhancing actors’ contributions to organizational change, leadership behavior as a moderator between the individual’s competences and organizational capabilities, the role of regional actors and institutions, or the relevance of particular projects that shape organizational dynamic capabilities. Since introducing more and more variables to the field of research seems not helpful to clarify the issues mentioned, it is essential to further elaborate a consistent theoretical basis that combines the individual and the organizational level, respectively the organizational and the institutional level.
Since there are only a few places left in the pre-conference Ph.D. workshop, the organizers encourage all Ph.D. students that are interested in participating to sign up quickly by writing an email to skm2015@rub.de. The workshop aims at supporting Ph.D. students with a methodological input as well as presenting and discussing Ph.D. projects with peers and senior researchers in a poster session. Prof. Dr. Jochen Koch will provide an expert input on qualitative research methods in the field of multi-level studies.
