Call for Papers
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

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. Moreover, empirical analyses are appreciated in order to focus variables of clearly strategic impact. Therefore, we invite and encourage theoretical and/or empirical contributions that further elaborate on dynamic capabilities by facing institutions, organizational structures, processes, projects or individuals’ and managerial action and interaction.

Call for Papers: Vignette Experiments in Business Administration and Economics

Vignette Experiments in Business Administration and Economics

29.6.2015; Workshop at the University of Applied Sciences in Coblence

Organizing team: Jennifer Kunz, Stefan Linder

Vignette experiments are an established method for gathering empirical evidence in many of the social sciences, especially in sociology. With the exception of consumer research, vignette experiments are still used rather infrequently in business administration and economics.
However, their application has become more commonplace over the past couple of years. The workshop intends to support this development by providing a forum for exchanging ideas, refinements to the method, and best practices among researchers in business administration and economics. We thus invite established scholars as well as young faculty and Ph.D. students – irrespectively of whether they have already worked with vignette experiments or intend to do so to in the future – to attend the workshop.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1.5.2015

Call for Papers: Leadership and governance OF and IN public and private organizations in CEE countries

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.

Vielfalt, Diversifizierung, (Ent)Solidarisierung in der organisationalen Diversitätsforschung:
Eine Standortbestimmung im deutschen Sprachraum

Fachtagung und wissenschaftliches Vernetzungstreffen der Diversity-Forschenden aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz

25./26.6.2015; Helmut Schmidt Universität – Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg

Organisatorinnen: Daniela Rastetter, Universität Hamburg und Barbara Sieben, HSU

Diversity Management ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten auch im  deutschsprachigen Raum zu einer betrieblichen (Personal-)Strategie vieler privatwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen geworden, vor allem in  Großunternehmen, aber auch in KMUs. In anderen Organisationen wie Verwaltungen, Kommunen, Hochschulen, Verbänden, Parteien oder den Kirchen ist Diversity Management zum Teil als Leitprinzip verankert. Die deutschsprachige Wissenschaft hat das Thema relativ frühzeitig aufgegriffen, und seit 2000 gibt es zahlreiche Veröffentlichungen mit steigender Tendenz. An ihnen sind vielfältige Disziplinen beteiligt: BWL, VWL, Soziologie, Psychologie, Jura, Sprachwissenschaften, Philosophie, Ethnologie und viele andere. Nicht immer können sich die einzelnen Disziplinen angemessen gegenseitig wahrnehmen oder Erkenntnisse anderer Fächer aufgreifen, weshalb uns eine regelmäßige Plattform für einen interdisziplinären Austausch sinnvoll erscheint.
An der WU Wien haben wir mit einer Standortbestimmung der Diversitätsforschung aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum begonnen. Die Ergebnisse wollen wir aufgreifen und noch mehr Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum erreichen. Mit dieser Vielfalt sollen verschiedene Ansätze und Ergebnisse zusammengeführt und ein Überblick über die Diversitätsforschung in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz gewonnen werden. Wir schlagen folgende Themenschwerpunkte vor:

  • die Verknüpfung von Gender und Diversity: Wie sind Gender und Diversity miteinander verschränkt? Ist Gender eine „Leitkategorie“ unter allen Diversity-Dimensionen oder geht Gender in Diversity auf?
  • der Bezug von Diversity Management zu Gleichstellung und Chancengleichheit. Wie können die Erkenntnisse aus der Diversity Forschung in praktisches gleichstellungspolitisches Handeln umgesetzt werden, sei es in Unternehmen, in der Politik oder in anderen Organisationen?
  • Theoretische Ansätze: Wie kann Diversity (Management) theoretisch verortet werden, z.B. in Ansätzen zu Intersektionalität, Diskriminierung, sozialer Ungleichheit, Principal-Agent, Habitus…

Alternative forms of global mobility: Fresh insights about frequent flyers, short-term, rotational and virtual assignments, international business commuters

Journal of Global Mobility Special Issue

Guest Editors: Maike Andresen, Michael Dickmann, Arno Haslberger

To better understand the challenges and consequences of a growing diverse portfolio of global employees, this special issue intends to provide a platform to draw together scholarly research that contributes to our knowledge about (1) the challenges unique to alternative (short-term) forms of global mobility, focusing especially on less well researched forms such as commuter or rotational assignments and virtual assignments, (2) the impact of the different kinds of global work on individuals and organisations, and (3) individual and organisational factors influencing the relationship between these alternative forms of global work and individual as well as organizational outcome variables. Original empirical (qualitative and quantitative) research, theory development, meta-analytic reviews, and critical literature reviews are all suitable for potential inclusion in the special issue.
