EURAM 2026

Deadline for submissions – 10 July 2025

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to invite you to collaborate in the design of the programme by proposing topics and symposia for discussion for the 26th EURAM Annual Conference by 10 July 2025.

The EURAM 2026 Conference will be held at the School of Business and Law of the University of Agder, Kristiansand (Norway), 16-19 June 2026.

Our conference theme is “Navigating High Waters ”.

Management in an Age of Disruption

The more recent debate among management scholars has emphasised euphonic topics such as social inclusion, new work, or the democratizations markets. While these are important topics not only in the academic debate but also in practice, many firms currently face more exigent challenges.

The current global challenges are manifold, characterized by complex interdependencies, paradoxical demands, and hard to predict disruptive changes. Geopolitical threats, rapid technological developments, demographic changes, and excessive regulation require a strategic focus on adaptability for navigating in an unpredictable world.

In the age of disruption, management requires agility, innovation, and resilience. This applies to all activities, functions and areas of organizations:

  • Strategic disruption includes massive changes in the (geo-)political environment, market structures, technologies, and business models.
  • Marketing disruption refers to fundamental changes in the industry status quo, the way customers and firms interact, product and service features are presented, and communication channels.
  • Supply chain disruption can lead to unpredictable changes preventing the free flow of products and services.
  • Disruption in human resources can be the result of disruptive changes in technology and society.

Disruptive changes not only are fundamental, the often affect the entire organisation and require a holistic approach of management to deal with the challenges.

The conference theme is relevant for all research examining various aspects that enable management to navigate the high waters of disruptive changes. This includes organizational resilience, the management of paradoxes, agility, risk management, and innovative business models.

We welcome scholars to submit their research to the EURAM 2026 Conference and we look forward to seeing

you in Agder. Topics and symposia are submitted to one of EURAM’s 13 Strategic Interest Groups.

Do not hesitate to contact the relevant Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Chairs by email. Information about the SIGs can be found here.

Call for Topics

Relevant topics comprise research questions, agendas, issues, problems, or aspects which relate to the conference theme or are normally included in the general programme of the conference (i.e., configuring the parallel sessions of the different Strategic Interest Groups [SIGs] of EURAM).
