The Strategic Interest Group (SIG) Innovation at the European Academy of Management (EURAM) aims to:
- facilitate the continued evolution of an open, inclusive, international and cross-cultural EURAM community of engaged scholars,
- support scholars in designing, producing and disseminating higher quality and impactful research at each stage of their career,
- influence the development of management education,
- provide platforms and facilitate networks for the dialogue between scholars, reflective practitioners, and policy makers.
The Goal of SIG Innovation is to create an open “learning climate” for all members (juniors and seniors) to reach the goals of EURAM in the field of innovation.

ST03_01/ST06_01/ST13_01 – Business Model – Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Venturing
(co-sponsored by Entrepreneurship SIG-03, Innovation SIG-06 and Strategic Management SIG-13)
Business Model – Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Venturing
The business model topic attracts continued interest in business research and practice (Massa et al., 2017; Foss & Saebi, 2017, Zott, Baden-Fuller and Mangematin; 2015: Spieth et al., 2014). However, despite ongoing research efforts to understand the business model and its role in firm performance, scholars face persistent questions about constituent components, sequences and contingencies for the process of business model innovation, impacting strategic intents of the firm to develop new value-creating and value-capturing activities.

ST06_02 – Innovation and Education – Striving for Sustainability and Change
Companies and its employees today are increasingly urged to act in a responsible and sustainable way. Management education must deal with this challenge, ensuring that students acquire competencies to take management decisions enabling sustainable development, considering environmental issues and stakeholder demands. The purpose of the track is to propose and analyse avenues for the development in higher education, identifying new learning needs and fostering attitudes, knowledge and skills related to responsible leadership and sustainability.

ST06_03 – Digital Innovation: Strategies, Competencies, Theories, and Practice
New organizational challenges arise when accommodating digital innovation; it characterizes either with the use of digital technologies during the innovation process, or with the outcome of innovation. Digital innovation modifies the ways of working and how people use technology. It carries organizational challenges in relation with the firm’s capacity to coordinate knowledge and resources in ecosystems. It eventually leads to new ecosystems.
We expect several types of contributions: workplace and work practices; organizational structure; emergence of new roles in resources orchestration and knowledge articulation; critical competences to facilitate coordination and creativity; the role of ecosystems; the elaboration of new business models.

ST06_04 – Inter-organizational networks and innovation
The track aims to stimulate and update the debate on the relationship between inter-organizational networks and innovation. Despite the great attention in past decades still many topics deserve a better investigation and attention, with possible important contribution to the general theoretical framework.

ST06_06 – Managing Service Innovation
This track encourages discourse on the management and creation of service innovation in different settings (digital, industrial, traditional service innovation). It includes current themes in service innovation research such as _the role of the service (eco)systems which enable and guide service innovation activities; _the alignment of resources and the resource integration processes as well as their coordination in (offline/digital/industrial) service systems; _the role of service innovation platforms, peer to peer sharing platforms and ICTs to align multiple players for service innovation; _and the need for tools and methods to deal with the process-character of services.

ST06_09 – The Design of New Industrial Ecosystems for Innovation
Recent works on business model innovation (Schneckenberg et al. 2019; Demil and Lecocq 2010), ecosystems (Jacobides et al. 2018; Pankov et al. 2019) and platforms (Cusumano et al. 2019) have underlined the variety of configurations, roles and strategic positioning in contemporary industry but also the need for ecosystems to evolve to address contemporary common threats such as climate change and environmental issues. These works raised the critical issue of designing these ecosystems: is it possible to design an ecosystem to face contemporary issues?

INNOVATION SIG TRACKS
T06_12 Managing people for innovation
This track aims to stimulate the debate on managing people for and during innovation processes in the digital age. We invite submissions at the intersection of human resources management, innovation, and digitization implying three main perspectives:
- „People innovating“ covers topics such as developing innovation-relevant competencies, or designing and managing human-machine-interactions for and during innovation processes.
- „Innovating for people“ covers topics such as building acceptance for technology-enabled innovations or ideas created by artificial intelligence.
- „Context of people-centered innovation management“ covers topics such as the (re)design of organizational networks, structures, or HR systems to enable people-centered digital innovation processes.
