CfP: Special Issue of the German Journal of Human Resource Management (HRM in Family Firms)

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

CfP: 10th International Conference in Critical Management Studies 2017 (Sub-theme: Implications and consequences of employee share ownership on corporate governance)

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.

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)
