SIG 12: Research Methods and Research Practice (RM&RP)

The Research Methods and Research Practice (RM&RP) strategic interest group (SIG) exists to promote debates – and stimulate innovation – around all aspects of academic research, from its conception through to its execution, the subsequent development of theory and the dissemination of findings and knowledge.  The RM&RP SIG seeks to draw understanding about research methods and research practice from all business and management disciplines including Accounting, Computer Science, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Human Resource Management, Learning and Development, Marketing, Operations Management, Organizational Behaviour, Strategy, and Systems Management.  By sharing novel approaches and advancing knowledge about the usefulness of different methods and the facilitators of – and constraints on – the use of those methods in the research and broader environment, it seeks to enable researchers to improve the design and execution of their research and its dissemination.  Good research approaches are indispensable to the asking of important research questions, the development of useful theories and meaningful engagement with broader societies.  The RM&RP SIG aims to stimulate debate in a supportive environment in which all levels of academic from doctoral students through to senior professors feel at home.  The RM&RP SIG aims to promote understanding across national borders and to draw strength from the diversity of research approaches that exist across Europe and beyond.  It seeks to generate continuous debate between conferences through its use of a range of different media including electronic newsletters and a presence on the world wide web.

RESEARCH METHODS AND RESEARCH PRACTICE SIG STANDING TRACKS

GT12_00 – Research Methods and Research Practice General Track

Management scholars’ contribution to knowledge production depends on their ability to develop and apply suitable methods to achieve and interpret findings and to consider suitable conceptual frameworks to guide action for the application of that knowledge. The RM&RP track invites papers on all kinds of research methods, analytical techniques, epistemological and ontological approaches and management theories.  It also welcomes papers on the future challenges facing researchers including the establishment of trust in their research, gaining access, co-creating knowledge with different stakeholders, working internationally and cross-culturally, remote data collection, catering for different audiences and promoting a positive impact.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 4: Quality education; Goal 5: Gender equality; Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth; Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Goal 10: Reducing inequalities; Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions; Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

ST12_01 – Coevolutionary and Ecosystem Perspectives

It is often claimed that organizations in socio-economic contexts such as business ecosystems and industrial networks “coevolve”. Yet, the question remains: how? This track builds on the growing body of (co-) evolutionary-oriented and ecosystem-based research within disciplines like management, strategy, marketing, entrepreneurship, innovation, and organizational studies. In the production of knowledge regarding the coevolution of ecosystems and other socio-economic systems, we encourage the exploration of a broad array of methods and discussions on how these can advance management research. Thus, perspectives based on multi-level coevolution, systems thinking, ecosystems, metaphors, or agent-based modeling, constitute only examples of the welcomed submissions.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 1: No poverty; Goal 2: Zero hunger; Goal 3: Good health and well-being for people; Goal 4: Quality education; Goal 5: Gender equality; Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation; Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy; Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth; Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Goal 10: Reducing inequalities; Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities; Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production; Goal 13: Climate action; Goal 14: Life below water; Goal 15: Life on land; Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions; Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

ST12_02 – Research Methods for Complex Adaptive Systems

This topic is open to research on a variety of methods that would help identify, describe, categorise, analyse, forecast, and/or evaluate those systems that show adaptability to a level that indicates complexity. Organisations show these characteristics and are complex adaptive social systems (CASS). While complexity is not new in management studies, recent technological developments and related methodologies have made it tractable. This ST is directed to any methods—qualitative, quantitative, simulation, hybrid, mixed—that show how CASS are, could, or should be studied.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 3: Good health and well-being for people; Goal 4: Quality education; Goal 5: Gender equality; Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation; Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy; Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth; Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Goal 10: Reducing inequalities; Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities; Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production; Goal 13: Climate action

RESEARCH METHODS AND RESEARCH PRACTICE SIG TRACKS

T12_03 – Tourism research and practice: trends, transitions, and tractions

Tourism is recognised as a critical driver for socio-economic progress and is increasingly viewed as one of the most innovative industries. However, fostering a successful tourism innovation requires collaboration between multiple stakeholders as well as embracing digital transformation. To explore these various relationships and to better understand how technologies may be properly implemented in the tourism industry, multiple research methods can be adopted, and several practical examples investigated, in developed and developing countries. In other words, it is necessary to understand how Tourism is changing and how it can take advantage of emerging technologies, to create better futures.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 3: Good health and well-being for people,Goal 5: Gender equality,Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy,Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth,Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities,Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production,Goal 13: Climate action,Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions,Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

T12_04 – Historical Research in Management Studies

The track “Historical Research in Management Studies” addresses the historical development of management and related areas (e.g., entrepreneurship, international business, marketing, retailing, strategy, accounting, auditing, management tools, etc.), concepts, theories, and practices as well as the application and evolution of historical research methods. We aim to encourage theoretically orientated social science history, and its methods, with a clear relationship to present-day debates and practices in the management discipline; from that, the types of contributions that are looked for fall into the following two categories. First, historical analyses of management concepts, theories, and practices. Second, contributions regarding revisitation or new directions in management historical research.
