Call for papers for a Special Issue of Team Performance Management, titled

„Corporate Masterminds – Executive Management Teams in Focus“

Over the last decade, academic researchers have shown a strong interest in executive management teams, as their members are the most influential corporate decision-makers and largely determine various external (e.g. strategic direction, firm performance) and internal (e.g. leadership style, organizational structure) outcomes. The special issue aims to advance our theoretical and empirical understanding of the composition of executive management teams, the interplay of different actors, and the impact of contextual settings.

Submission deadline is November 1, 2013.

Organization Studies, the official journal of the European Group for Organization Studies (EGOS), invites submissions for a Special Issue on

“Temporary Organizing”

Today’s turbulent business environment is heralding an increase in organizing in a flexible, ad-hoc manner that involves a constant adaptation to opportunities and change. One salient, yet understudied, way in which firms are changing as a consequence, is on their temporal attributes. The present special issue seeks to bundle, investigate, and push further the current frontiers of such “temporary organizing” research and deepen our knowledge of how temporary organizing interacts with more permanent organizing forms such as organizations, networks and fields.

Papers must be received by September 30, 2014.
