Die Managementforschung – MF – ist ein etabliertes Diskussionsforum für neue Trends und Strömungen im gesamten Bereich des Managements. Sie versteht sich als eine transdisziplinäre Fachzeitschrift für avancierte Fragen und kritische Analysen der Koordination und Steuerung komplexer sozialer Systeme, insb. von Organisationen, aber auch von interorganisationalen Netzwerken, Communities oder Crowds. Ziel der Zeitschrift ist es, die jeweils aktuellen Entwicklungen und Ergebnisse der Forschung zu diesen Fragen des Managements aufzuzeigen und fortzuentwickeln.

Im Zentrum der Beiträge soll die Erarbeitung neuer Perspektiven oder die Erschließung innovativer Problemstellungen stehen. Die zur Begutachtung eingereichten Beiträge können sowohl rein konzeptioneller Art sein als auch über Ergebnisse empirischer Studien berichten.

Herausgeber: Peter Conrad, Jochen Koch und Jörg Sydow

Einreichung: jederzeit möglich

The focus of this sub-theme at the 10th International Conference in Critical Management Studies 2017 (which will take place during July 3-5) is Deviance in Management and Organization Studies. The organizers (Andrea Fried, Arvind Singhal and Sarah Langer) are looking for theoretical and empirical contributions which help to clarify the meaning and scope of deviance and compliance.

Research questions might be:

• How are compliance and deviance constructed and discussed in management and organization studies?
• To which global and local phenomena do studies refer to while discussing deviance in world of standards and compliance?

The German Journal of Human Resource Management (Zeitschrift für Personalforschung) is seeking for proposals for a Special Issue. We invite submissions that are conceptual, empirical (qualitative or quantitative, or mixed) or methodological in nature. The focus of the papers may include but is not limited to:

• Practices of HRM in family firms
• HRM and family firm growth, development and change
• HR managers and practitioners in family firms
• Theory of HRM in family firms

We welcome submissions that take the unique characteristics of family firms into account and that move beyond the idea of one-size-fits-all ‘best practices’ by addressing how family firms develop HR practices, take advantage of them, and bundle their practices into HR systems. By exploring these areas we hope to sharpen the theoretical underpinnings of the debate on HRM in family firms. Moreover, we seek to contribute to an understanding of if/how family firms use HR practices to proactively address environmental dynamics, demographic change or innovation.

Deadline for the submission of extended abstracts: 31.10.2017

The focuses of this sub-theme at the 10th International Conference in Critical Management Studies 2017 (which will take place during July 3-5) are implications and consequences of employee share ownership on corporate governance. The sub-theme aims to advance our empirical and theoretical knowledge about organizational ways of employee involvement at the corporate governance level of firms and its interaction with already existing institutions of employee participation in the decision making and control of firms, and to learn about the behavior of this particular type of employee participation, of different stakeholder groups, and of individuals in such contexts in different institutional and national settings. We invite theoretical as well as empirical studies based on qualitative and/or quantitative methods that focus on the various forms of employee owners’ individual and collective actions.
