Symposia

SIG 01 – B4S - Business for Society

S01.01 – Business, disruption and social resilience

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The Covid-19 crisis has challenged the resilience capabilities of societies and business. It  shows to which extent the design of global and local markets and administrations was not adapted to the new and sudden catastrophe. The design of global value chains proved inoperant to provide populations with required equipment. Moreover, the public administrations have taken the financial burden of the crisis, paying the highest price for the risk, whilst the new economy leaders like GAFAMs were skyrocketing their profits.  It is high time to wonder which could be the contribution of successful business players to organize the reply to such events.

S01.02 – Using social enterprise and innovation to strengthen social harmony

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

SIG 11 – PM&NPM – Public and Non-Profit Management

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

This symposium aims to discuss the possible role of social enterprise and innovation in addressing the major socio-economic problems facing the world today, including income inequality and lack of basic facilities, social mobility and opportunities, fueling the growing anger and unrest among the youth and the increasing sense of isolation and despair among the disadvantaged groups consisting of the disabled, elderly, chronically sick and ethnic minorities. We plan to attract researchers from diverse disciplines, such as business and finance, economics, psychology, sociology and public policy, to share their opinions and set the agenda for future research on this important topic.

S01.04 – Introducing MITAO and playing with it! A user-friendly software for performing Topic Modeling and visualizing results

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

SIG 12 – RM&RP – Research Methods and Research Practice

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

Two years ago, in Euram 2019, we presented a beta version of MITAO, an open source, user-friendly software aimed at performing Topic Modeling. We received very useful insights from our brave beta-testers, and we used those inputs to devise an enhanced version of MITAO, which now integrates a panoply of tools for cleaning, analysing and visualizing textual data through Topic Modeling. We owe Euram for the chance of improving our software and now we want to offer to 15 researchers the chance to test the final version of MITAO by analysing their datasets or an example which we will provide.

S01.05 – What a good crisis! Corporate lobbying raid during the Covid19 crisis. Is it an act of responsible capitalism?

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

We hear about the following often:  Companies – mostly large corporations – strategically organize political actions in order to put pressure on politicians and influence political decisions. This is commonly referred to as lobbying. “Does corporate lobbying constitute a noble act of responsible capitalism? The purpose of this symposium is to, therefore, provide a debate on this question that has become quite crucial in our current society. The current context of the Coved 19 pandemic provides an even richer platform on which to hold this debate.

S01.06 – Democratically Governed Organizations: Managing Uncertainty and Risk for the Common Good

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

Faced with an array of social, economic and ecological challenges, organizations seek new ways of improving their economic performance and social responsibilities. Research reveals that stakeholder-controlled firms introduce distributed decision-making processes, contrary to dominant management theories and practices based on centrally controlled command and control hierarchies. Stakeholder network firms illustrate what Ostrom (1990) describes as “polycentric compound republics” that can avoid the tragedy of the commons. The symposium aims to identify management theories and practices for assessing performance, governance, and ethical engagement in democratically governed organizations. A special emphasis is placed on the impact of risk and uncertainty and how they can affect the pursuit of the common good.

SIG 02 – COGO - Corporate Governance

S02.01 – Start-Up Boards – How do they create value?

SIG 02 – COGO – Corporate Governance

SIG 03 – ENT – Entrepreneurship

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

Start-up Boards – How do they Create Value? focuses on the role of board of directors in creating value start-ups and scale-ups. Research on board of directors in start-ups and the theoretical development has been limited. This symposia offers insights and analysis from academics and practitioner on the subject.

SIG 03 – ENT - Entrepreneurship

S03.01 – Whose Lives Matter For Money Providers? Does playing by the rules get entrepreneurs adequate funding?

SIG 03 – ENT – Entrepreneurship

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

Whereas substantial financial capital is injected to support the economic inclusion of black and minority entrepreneurs, community-based initiatives created by and for non-white people meet challenges related to their funding. As the power to transform the system is left in the hands of people who own and maintain it, the financing system faces a paradox. It can constitute a powerful lever of emancipation, yet may exclude minority people from decisions relating to their own becoming. The symposium will gather experts from different perspectives, to debate and challenge their viewpoints around the question ‘Whose lives matter for money providers?’

S03.02 – The Relevance of Entrepreneurship in Arts and Creative Sectors – An International Perspective on Transition, Economic Dislocation and Societal Change in the Face of the Corona Pandemic

SIG 03 – ENT – Entrepreneurship

SIG 11 – PM&NPM – Public and Non-Profit Management

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The arts and culture sector are growing worldwide, in a volatile environment of funding uncertainty. Cultural entrepreneurship has gained centre stage in recent debates. The Corona pandemic is now a ground zero for transition, economic dislocation and societal change. In this context the symposium aims to discuss and provide a framework to understand the evolving paradigm of entrepreneurship in arts and creative sectors while highlighting the distinction between North America and Europe, how the transformative energy of the arts and culture can change the ways of managing culture.

S03.03 – Anticipating future sustainability – Shifting the dance in the entrepreneurship, ownership, management and innovation fields

SIG 03 – ENT – Entrepreneurship

SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The symposium creates a dance-arena for constructing sustainability ballads in the fields of entrepreneurship, ownership, management and innovation by discussing concepts, approaches, and perspectives and presenting case studies focusing on the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The dance-arena places emphasis on how entrepreneurship, ownership, management, and innovation are done to creating interlinkages between different SDGs and thereby preventing poverty, supporting human rights, empowering people, and assuring protection to the earth’s biosphere. The integration of different SDGs on entrepreneurial and business activities is central for the realization of the SDGs and shifting research agendas.

SIG 06 – INNO - Innovation

S06.01 – Executive education after the pandemic – disruption and the ne normal

SIG 06 – INNO – Innovation

SIG 07 – IM – International Management

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The Business Insider report mentioned that the third of the world population  exeprienced the lockdown (https://www.statista.com/chart/21240/enforced-covid-19-lockdowns-by-people-affected-per-country/, 2020.06.19).  It has to re-prioritize the labor market, the business logic, the social and political frameworks regulating the economic activity, and the strategic goals of the organizations. Consequently, now, the executive education has to find its place in VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainity, Complexity, Ambiguity)   conditions. This crisis can be used as a trigger to fasten digital transformation of the executive education. One need analysis of new threats and opportunities for executive education, as well as post-pandemic initiatives and new, innovative  learning processes.

S07.01 – Global Mobility: towards sustainable careers and mindful international interactions

SIG 07 – IM – International Management

SIG 05 – GRDO – Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organisations

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

We elucidate key developments in the field of global mobility and the impact of Covid-19 on the practice in organizations. Following last year’s EURAM 2020 conference, this symposium will account for drastic changes in the field of global mobility and revised insights from the three levels of analysis:  macro- (societal), meso- (organizational) and micro- (individual and family) levels are derived from fifteen integrated mixed-methods global mobility projects undertaken in various European universities since 2018/19. The dramatic changes of these projects impacted by the sanitary crisis lead to global mobility changes with focus on mindfulness and sustainability but also gender issues.

S07.02 – And What Now? The (Ir)Relevance of Expatriate Management Research

SIG 07 – IM – International Management

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The expatriate management field has a lot to be proud of. But the world of expatriation has been steadily changing, the latest shock brough about by the Covid19 pandemic. Like other disciplines, the field now favours and rewards academic rigour more than any practical application – to the point of potential irrelevance (Kulik, 2014). What, then, is the ‘societal relevance’ of what we do? The symposium brings together a high profile panel of expatriation scholars to debate the provocative question of the “(Ir)Relevance of Expatriate Management Research”. How can our field stay relevant? What are the ‘grand’ societal challenges we can and should address?

S09.01 – Focus on employees to foster sustainable use of AI at work

SIG 09 – OB – Organizational Behaviour

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

We are living an evolution of society also known as Fourth Industrial Revolution. AI has a profound effect on the workplace as we know it and employees are at the heart of this transformation. The introduction of IA has significant impacts on Human Resource Management (HRM) activities, such as the organization of work, skills development, and the employees’ health at work. This symposium aims to better understand the impacts of AI on employees in order to promote sustainable use of AI at work.

SIG 10 - PO - Project Organizing

S10.01 – Resilience and Projects: An Interdisciplinary Crossroad to Reshape the World

SIG 10 – PO – Project Organizing

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The increasing frequency and magnitude of disruptions has resulted in the increasing need for projects that allows for ability to organise communities and societies to be recoverable and adaptable to both known and unknowns disruptions. On the other hand the projects themselves are a fertile context to explore disruptions and variations . This seminar is designed to bridge and cross fertilise concepts of projects, risk and resilience towards addressing psot-COVID challenges of organizing resilient projects and societies. In this symposium we present the conceptual underpinning of the concepts and then conclude through a dialogue on potential submissions in an interactive manner.

SIG 12 - RM&RP - Research Methods and Research Practice

S12.01 – Necessary Condition Analysis. Method and Applications

SIG 12 – RM&RP – Research Methods and Research Practice

SIG 06 – INNO – Innovation

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) is a novel methodology, recently published in Organizational Research Methods. The method has already been applied in fields such as innovation, strategy, entrepreneurship, international business, organizational behaviour, and human resource management. The goal of the symposium is threefold: Introduce researchers new to the method to NCA, give a platform to researchers who intend to apply NCA to discuss its potential for their research projects and give a platform to researchers who apply NCA to present and discuss their projects.

S13.01 – Reframing the Theory of Crisis Management: Multi-paradigmatic Perspectives and Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic

SIG 13 – SM – Strategic Management

SIG 11 – PM&NPM – Public and Non-Profit Management

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

The symposium brings together academics, practitioners and policymakers to explore, in an interactive session, new research avenues in two areas of crisis management: organizational crises, for which “strategic management is vital” (Khodarahmi, 2009 ), and community crises, the management of which is “the responsibility of governments” (OECD, 2015). First, panelists will discuss the extent to which a pandemic event is addressed by studies that have become “the norm” in research on crisis management/disaster management. Then, the discussions will focus on how the experience that practitioners have acquired during the Covid-19 pandemic helps to enrich the theory of crisis/ disaster management.

S13.02 – Interdependencies in Resource Reconfiguration Modes: The Case for Corporate Development Portfolios

SIG 13 – SM – Strategic Management

SIG 14 – Conference General Track

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

Corporate development activities (CDA) – internal development, alliances, acquisitions and divestitures – have been conceptualized as driving key firm level outcomes. This symposium proposes two lines of inquiry to gain insights into how firms utilize multiple CDA. First, multiple CDA may be pursued by firms when there are alternative factors influencing value creation and capture such as complementarity across resource profiles, appropriability and bargaining concerns across technological, knowledge-based, and market domains. Second, this symposium suggests a portfolio perspective to CDA that can provide insight into how and why firms use multiple corporate development actions concurrently or sequentially as part of a corporate development ‘portfolio’.

S13.03 – Determinants & consequences of adopting AI (ML) for product designs & customer interaction

SIG 13 – SM – Strategic Management

SIG 06 – INNO – Innovation

Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium

There has been a lot of interest in the recent years on the adoption and impact of AI (ML) on organizations, in their internal operations and how it can replace or augment human labor. We want to focus on two less explored domains of AI application: products’ final design (not the NPD process) and customer interactions. In contrast to ‘internal’ operation, AI application in these domains raises questions such as: how does AI improve product functionality, interacts with customers’ behavior and perception of the benefits and risks of AI-powered products? We will try to address these questions.
