Purpose\u201d.<\/u><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><i>From Craftsmen to Artificial Intelligence: Bringing back Humanism into Management<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><i>Managing with purpose<\/i> is a growing topic of interest among both academics and practitioners. At its heart lies the notion of striking a balance between the pursuit of profit and the maintenance of a meaningful and lasting purpose. The theory of shareholder value clearly demonstrated the limits of a focus on profit-maximization. Stakeholder theory served to call attention to the value of the voices of other stakeholders but directed a deal of its attention towards the comparison and the balance of different interests. Today, the identification, articulation and maintenance of a meaningful and shared purpose has become a central issue for many organizations. Business leaders are encouraged to embrace the idea that companies must go beyond the profit motive. They must also create value by helping society to provide new solutions to a growing array of challenges.<\/p>\n<p><i>Managing with Purpose<\/i> is a strategic assumption that creates value, enhances impact, and fosters longevity. It reflects something more aspirational than the search for profit through economic exchanges. It explains how the people involved in the organization can make the difference, giving them a sense of meaning and drawing their support. It is about people coming together to do something they believe in and allowing profit to follow as a consequence of their collective endeavour rather than being an end in itself. However, despite a growing body of research on the topic, many questions remain. How is Purpose defined? How many purposes can an organization have? How do organizations deliver a sense of purpose to their various internal and external stakeholders and what are the inherent trade-offs that have to be faced? There are no easy answers to these questions. Scholars, leaders, and organizations need to work together to combine and exchange their knowledge and co-create new models and approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Florence, as well as being a thriving commercial centre, is also a city of unrivalled historical, architectural, and artistic significance. As the gathering place for our 25th Anniversary Conference, the splendour of the cityscape as a backdrop will provide the opportunity not just to reflect on the meaning and value of corporate purpose, but to rekindle the very essence of humanism, and its lessons for human dignity, development, and accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>Topics and symposia are submitted to one of EURAM\u2019s 13 Strategic Interest Groups.<\/p>\n<p>Do not hesitate to contact the relevant Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Chairs by email.
