In this regard, in‐depth discussions of various phenomena are fostered. The symposium will take place on September 28/29 at the Freie Universität Berlin and will be organized in parallel tracks with focus on transformation issues.

MREV – Call for Papers: Echoes of an Era – A Century of Organisational Studies

Hundred years ago, Henri Fayols “Administration Industrielle et Générale”, a milestone in the history of organizational thought, was published. This centenary motivates the editors of the Management Revue to launch a stream on the history of organizational studies. In the forthcoming volumes, and rather on an infrequent basis, we would like to publish contributions which not only introduce the reader to one or several, interrelated seminal works of organizational theory, but also provide accompanying commentaries and an analysis of their history of effects.

The Special Stream of Management Revue (MREV), named „Echoes of an Era – A Century of Organisational Studies“, will be open to submissions until the end of 2017 in the first place.

Managing Editor:
Wenzel Matiaske, Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg (Germany)

Call for Proposals: Special Issue of Project Management Journal

Authors are encouraged to submit research papers that are addressing the literature on projects and networks. The goal of the special issue is to assemble papers that focus on projects either from a network perspective or as a form of network governance to significantly advance our knowledge in these areas. To this end, all papers should be based on theoretically informed and empirically rigorous research using qualitative or quantitative designs and methods.

Questions that might be addressed in the papers include:

  • If we conceptualize the project as a network of role-holding actors, what are the features of these networks and how are they managed?
  • Self-organizing interpersonal networks: how do they arise in and across projects?
  • What are suitable methodologies for gathering network data in large and/or complex project environments?
  • […]

CfP: Special Issue of Management Revue (Digital Working Life)

Authors are encouraged to submit research papers that are adressing the literature on digital working life. Working life is undergoing a radical change in which new digital technologies are changing the nature of labour and its organizational forms in a pervasive manner, regardless of whether it concerns qualified professionals or labourers. The framework, which previously regulated the content of work, as well as when, where and how it would be conducted is being reconsidered. A process that presents both challenges and possibilities. In the special issue the topic will be discussed in an appropriately broad and interdisciplinary manner.

Particularly interesting are research questions such as:

  • Virtual work and stress
  • Digital technologies and work-family boundaries
  • Virtual teams and E-leadership
  • Digital Taylorism
  • Virtual work and trust
  • Digital surveillance
  • […]

CfP: Special Issue of Management Revue (Post-Growth Organisation)

Authors are encouraged to submit research papers that are addressing the literature on post-growth organizations (PGOs). The specific aim of this special issue is to substantiate the debate on post-growth, steady-state and de-growth from an organizational perspective. We do not restrict our focus on PGOs to the economic domain, but also take social and ecologic concerns, such as social entrepreneurs, into account. We call for contributions discussing different perspectives on PGOs, investigating their characteristics and limits. Furthermore, we embrace contributions investigating the range and coverage of PGOs as an organizational possibility in a future, post-growth society.

Possible research questions:

  • What characterizes the organization and the management of PGOs?
  • What are the limits and prospects of PGOs in the transformation of capitalism?
  • Is it possible to turn traditional organizations into PGOs?
  • […]

Call for Papers: Workshop on Exploring the Dynamics of Organizational Working Time Regimes

This international research workshop invites empirical and conceptual papers that examine and theorize organizational regimes of excessive working hours, their emergence, evolution, persistence, consequences for employee well-being and work-life balance.

The purpose of the workshop is to extend the mentioned lines of inquiry by explicitly examining the organizational, occupational, technological and institutional drivers underlying regimes of excessive working hours in an effort to deepen our knowledge of how to change them. We particularly invite empirical studies and other approaches that look at the emergence, evolution and change of organizational working time regimes.
