T14_01 – Glocal HRM as a possible path to sustainalism
One of the drivers towards a more sustainable organisation is digital transformation. HRM can integrate both principles – sustainability and digitalization – promoting the engagement of employees in these realigned priorities. Glocal HRM integrates and is influenced by global trends but has to adjust them to each specific organisational setting when implementing actions in practice. This track invites theoretical and empirical papers, either qualitative or quantitative, on the challenges and opportunities that glocal HRM offers as a response to sustainalism (sustainable capitalism).

T14_02 – Management History, Theory, and Philosophy
The “Management History, Theory, and Philosophy” addresses historical and philosophical foundations and challenges of management and organization theory and practice. Knowledge of these foundations and challenges is vital for developing creative management solutions to persistent organizational problems, overcoming intellectual lockdowns, and shaping the futures of our disciplines.
Open to all paradigms, this track invites decidedly philosophical, historical, theoretical and conceptual contributions from scholars with backgrounds in management and organisation studies, sociology, economics, anthropology, history, philosophy, information science, communication studies, and further appropriate fields of sciences.

T14_03 – Pedagogical Innovation and Research in Management Education
This track topic invites submissions that discuss, evaluate and critique issues, pedagogical theories and practices of contemporary business and management education.
For EURAM 2021, ‘Reshaping capitalism for a sustainable world’, we advance the conversation we started in the 2020 conference to now explore how business and management education can become more critical, empowering and transformative. With this new call for papers, we move our focus from responsive educational practices and contexts to developmental and pedagogical innovations for change.
