EURAM Annual Conference <strong>by 10 July 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2026conference\/home\/\"><strong>EURAM 2026 Conference<\/strong><\/a> will be held at the School of Business and Law of the <strong>University of Agder, <\/strong><strong>Kristiansand<\/strong><strong> (Norway), 16<\/strong><strong>-19 June 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our conference theme is <a href=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2026conference\/theme\/\">\u201c<strong>Navigating High Waters <\/strong><strong>\u201d.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Management in an Age of Disruption<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the age of disruption, management requires agility, innovation, and resilience. This applies to all activities, functions and areas of organizations:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong> Strategic disruption <\/strong>includes massive changes in the (geo-)political environment, market structures, technologies, and business models.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Marketing disruption <\/strong>refers to fundamental changes in the industry status quo, the way customers and firms interact, product and service features are presented, and communication channels.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Supply chain disruption <\/strong>can lead to unpredictable changes preventing the free flow of products and services.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Disruption in human resources <\/strong>can be the result of disruptive changes in technology and society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Disruptive changes not only are fundamental, the often affect the entire organisation and require a holistic approach of management to deal with the challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We welcome scholars to submit their research to the EURAM 2026 Conference and we look forward to seeing<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">you in Agder. Topics and symposia are submitted to one of EURAM\u2019s 13 Strategic Interest Groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do not hesitate to contact the relevant Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Chairs by email.
