Letter of the President

Dear EURAM members, dear friends,

Covid19 is bringing us closer together, but only at a distance. It’s a chance and challenge for all of us. It changes our daily routines, our professional and private lives and our perceptions of priorities, progress and perfection. For many of us the new academic year has already started, for others its start has been postponed. For all of us it will be more digital, more distanced, more demanding than we might wish.

Since you have placed your trust in my leadership, nothing has gone as expected: we could not meet for our conference in June, not discuss our papers over a Guinness in Dublin, we could not thank Thomas Durand for the exceptional energy he put in EURAM as our last president, we could not celebrate our 20th EURAM anniversary together, …

… but EURAM defies Corona: I am deeply grateful and moved to see the EURAM family coming together apart, taking the lead, innovating in formats for researching, learning, exchanging. The constraints triggered by the pandemic are driving all kinds of smaller and bigger innovations in our academy: the Academy held its last General Assembly online led by Thomas Durand; the 2020 EURAM Annual Conference had to move from June to December, from onsite to online, from weekdays to weekend; the 2020 EURAM Doctoral Colloquium will equally take place online on 7-8 December, this year not before, but after the Conference which will take place from 4-6 December.

In the meantime, the EURAM Community did not stand still. Many of you hand in hand with the EURAM Office and  Vice Presidents Xavier Castaner, Hervé Dumez & Miia Martinsuo (and everyone else whom we missed), organised and facilitated or participated in other online activities that have taken place during the summer:

  • The EURAM Virtual Community Conversations

On a volunteer basis, National Representatives – in some cases joined by colleagues in their country – gathered EURAM members from their country and colleagues beyond their borders to discuss topical issues in their mother tongue language. Such conversations have taken place in “British English”, Castilian , Finnish, French, Greek, Hebrew, Italian and Portuguese. For the latter, both the National Representative from Portugal and Brazil co-facillated a conversation for the Lusophone community. I would like to cordially thank all of you in whatever role you might have joined the conversations. On the EURAM Social Media Channels you can find more details and footprints of those events. Let us know, if you want to host more such conversations in your country!

  • The EURAM 1-2-1 Junior-Senior Faculty Conversations

To support early career scholars and PhDs, EURAM Senior Scholars volunteered to engage in conversations with younger colleagues to discuss topics of their choice which might be linked to their career, dissertation, etc.  This opportunity, coordinated by Raquel Ortega (University of Zaragoza) is still available during the fall. Feel free to contact us at any time, to host, organise or participate in such conversations!

  • EURAM SIG Plenary Sessions
    The SIGs Family Business Research and Managing Sports organised a plenary session for their members during the summer. Want to organise a EURAM SIG Plenary Session? Let us know!

EURAM members have also taken part in two membership surveys in the context of the pandemic. The second survey was sent to members in August to help the organisers and Executive Committee to form a picture of expectations and intentions toward the upcoming online conference. Miia Martinsuo, Vice President Membership, has compiled the results here and also joined the EURAM Online Conference Task Force led by Eythor Ivar Jonsson, Vice President Conferences. The task force took responsibility for the manifestation of the December 2020 conference in the new setting.

Thanks to the engagement of EURAM members and the mobilisation of EURAM SIG and Track Chairs, the 2020 EURAM Annual Conference already has over 1000 registered delegates and 40 PhDs for the 2020 EURAM Doctoral Colloquium. No one expected this might be possible. What a sign of loyalty and ongoing engagement. EURAM is our academic home and it is co-created by all of us. Thank you all for your contributions!

Feel free to spread the word, to mobilise friends, colleagues and newbies to our community. EURAM is an open forum welcoming engaged scholars with a deep interest in management in Europe and beyond. The 2020 Local Organising Team in Dublin has not stopped its activities, but organised promising keynote sessions for all of us online around the following themes:

1.    How are business schools going to address the new world of business: climate change, de-internationalisation, inequality, new working, student expectations

Professor Andrew Burke (Chair), Dean of Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin

Professor Sara Carter OBE FRSE, Vice-Principal and Head of the College of Social Sciences, University of Glasgow

Professor Kai Peters, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Business & Law, Coventry University

Professor Zoe Radnor, Vice President (Strategy and Planning) at City, University of London

Professor Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi, Dean and President of ESSEC Business School

2.    The Business of Now:  the future starts here – the vision and views of the CEOs of international businesses.

Danny McCoy (Chair), CEO IBEC – Irish Business and Employers’ Confederation

Cathriona Hallahan, Managing Director, Microsoft Ireland

John Herlihy, Vice President and Managing Director for EMEA (Europe Middle East Africa) and LATAM (Latin America) at LinkedIn

Imelda Hurley, CEO at Coillte and a Non-Executive Director at both Total Produce Plc and IBEC

3.    The evolution of resource-based theory

Jay B. Barney, Presidential Professor of Strategic Management and holds the Lassonde Chair of Social Entrepreneurship at the Eccles School of Business at The University of Utah and recipient of the EURAM Edith Penrose Award 2019.

All members of the EURAM Executive Committee are working hard to make EURAM a place and platform that supports the EURAM community even better in those challenging times. Therefore, together with past-president Thomas Durand, I am extremely grateful I can work with such a great inspiring team already in place: Xavier Castaner, Dorota Dobija, Hervé Dumez, Pierre Dussauge, Stefan Gueldenberg, Rémi Jardat, Miia Martinsuo. Eythor Ivar Jonsson joined the team in June as the new Vice President Conferences and Komlan Sedzro as the Chair EURAM 2021. Andrew Burke, conference chair 2020 continues to be with us for our monthly meetings. Luisa Jaffé and Nicola Pellegrino, the stable pillars in our Brussels EURAM office supported by Eleonora Piacenza and Nicole Coopman, ensure that our operations run as smoothly as possible.

Thank you so much, dear EURAM members and friends, for making our community such an open, welcoming, inspiring and supporting place for all of us! Let’s work together to further strengthen EURAM as a professional community following its mission to enhance the quality of research, to improve its relevance for responsible and effective practice and to contribute to the social and political discourse on management – and a place that truly defies external challenges!

Please stay safe and healthy!

Kathrin M Moeslein, President

NEW BOOK by Frank Brueck

IKIGAI for Leaders and Organisations

The way to individual and collective purpose and meaning in business

Based on the wisdom of the old Japanese philosophy of IKIGAI (the reason/purpose of life), this book introduces a model to assess and identify 8 different types of leaders and 8 different business cultures along four dimensions:

  • What you are really good at
  • What do you love to do
  • What the world needs
  • What you need for the market

Only when you manage to truly integrate all these four dimensions personally as a leader or collectively as an organisation, you reach IKIGAI – a state in which purpose and meaning fulfil the daily life of individual leaders and entire organisations. A very practical guide with assessments and lots of real life cases and examples.

[SIG 01 – B4S – Business for Society]

Pathways to Connect Creativity and Sustainable Development provides multiple disciplinary perspectives on how creative processes are brought about and maintained for the purpose of sustainable development. The book is inspired by the philosophy of ARTEM (ARts, Technology &Management), a transdisciplinary approach to scientific research and learning. It contributes to the ongoing discussion on how creativity relates to sustainable development. The book positions the concepts of creativity and sustainability in a sound theoretical framework and explores issues of practical and theoretical value covering a wide range of themes, including arts, artistic interventions and embodiment, methods and space for creativity in change and sustainable development, sustainable community development and corporate sustainability and creativity. This volume profits from the variety of methodologies and case-based expertise of the authors from various disciplines and origins.

Prometheus, published by Pluto Journals and now in its 43rd year, welcomes submissions from Management academics. Prometheus is an international, multidisciplinary journal, proud to refuse an impact factor. Check it out at www.prometheusjournal.co.uk.

Prometheus publishes critical papers, those that express – and

justify – opinions on innovation issues. We are particularly attracted to papers

that challenge prevailing views. The journal’s scope includes:

  • the history of innovation
  • information for innovation
  • invention and creativity
  • diffusion of innovation
  • science and technology policy
  • organisational strategy for innovation
  • intellectual property rights
  • communication and information technology
  • the social, economic and political environment of innovation
  • the management of innovation
  • the evaluation of innovation

Papers should not be so technical or specialised that they cannot be appreciated by a wide readership that includes academics, practitioners and policy makers and excludes no one.

[SIG 06 – INNO – Innovation]

What would happen if we brought together the many open and collaborative ways of producing and disseminating scientific knowledge, both within and beyond the science system? While there are many different terms for related efforts to bring new kinds of knowledge into the research process and to share outputs more openly, yet too often these concepts get discussed in isolation, with knowledge remaining scattered across research fields. To build a unifying foundation, 47 researchers from across the disciplines co-created a novel and integrative conceptualization of the antecedents, contingencies, and outcomes of openness and collaboration in scientific research, which they present in the Open Innovation in Science (OIS) Research Framework (see https://t.co/gi0cfQTvoT?amp=1) and which will be published as lead article of a special issue on OIS in Industry and Innovation.

The title of the book is – Work in Challenging and Uncertain Times (2020) by Patricia Leighton and Tui McKeown and published by Routledge .

The book was completed before the Covid – 19 struck and we are already aware of its devastating effect on work and its management. It is argued that the impact of the virus will be more serious due to major pre-existing problems in employment, including severe inequalities, the likely impact of new technologies, increasing precarious work, worker health concerns, skill shortages and often ineffective regulatory frameworks.

The book draws on a wide range of data sources and disciplines including social policy making, management, HRM, history, education and law. It is a radical critique of the contemporary world of work. https://www.routledge.com/Work-in-Challenging-and-Uncertain-Times-The-Changing-Employment-Relationship/Leighton-McKeown/p/book/9780367897482

What is the future of work? A science mapping analysis

Santana, M. & Cobo, M.J (2020) European Management Journal

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.emj.2020.04.010

This article aims to systematise and provide a structure for research into the Future of Work (FoW). We used SciMAT to conduct a science mapping analysis based on co-word bibliographic networks. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used for article retrieval, and a total of 2,286 documents were identified from 1959 to 2019. Our results are counterintuitive, as concerns over satisfaction, leadership values or corporate social responsibility (CSR) appear alongside traditional human resource management (HRM) themes, such as organisational commitment or careers, as well as more current FoW themes, such as the impact of technological change on employment, wage inequality, vulnerable workers, telework or talent management. In addition, we offer a classification of the most prolific FoW research themes and challenges into technological, social, economic and political categories.

Finally, a new textbook on Project Management with an Organizational perspective

Stewart Clegg, Torgeir Skyttermoen and Anne Live Vaagaasar have written a textbook on SAGE Publishing, Project Management: A Value Creation Approach. The book provides an updated and nuanced approach to the world of projects that are increasingly ubiquitous across every field of practice.

Projects have in common that they are a form of organizing whose chief characteristic is that they are temporary organizational designs intended to deliver a specific form of value in a specified time. The book conceives projects as tools to create value that can be defined in many ways, for many different categories of actors, explored in the book.

Offering a methodological panorama for the global community of creativity researchers, contributors provide markers and viewpoints to better orient scholars and encourage reflection on how one might produce exceptional research on the burgeoning field of creativity. Chapters provide insights into a variety of methodological approaches, contemplating their benefits, limitations, scope of validity and ethical implications. As a contrast, sharp and to the point vignettes, similar to parables, are included to make the reader think.

Allowing space for both established methods and new approaches, this Handbook is crucial reading for researchers interested in creativity at all levels looking to adopt innovative methodological approaches and broaden their research horizons.

Strategic communication has become a widespread, interdisciplinary term in society over the last few decades and is a process of targeted and networked communication. Strategic communication involves a communication concept that includes the analysis, planning, organisation, implementation and control of internal and external communication of companies and organisations, with the aim of ensuring stringent and coordinated communication with their target groups. The contributions to this volume illuminate strategic communication from a comprehensive research perspective. They confirm the relevance and significance as well as the diversity of strategic communication in business, politics and the military and show that, despite their different perspectives, aspects and fields of activity, there are fundamental similarities in their uses of strategic communication.

Fisheries and Aquaculture

The Food Security of the Future

By: Ágúst Einarsson Ásta Dís Óladóttir

Takes a multidisciplinary approach in evaluating the fisheries and aquaculture sectors from the scientific and practical perspectives of industry professionals. The authors recognize the importance of looking at the industry from a value chain viewpoint, not only for food security but also for a blue economy. The book takes a unique and innovative approach to show how fisheries and aquaculture can achieve sustainability and how small fishery communities can become highly successful fishery and aquaculture communities and contribute to overall industry globalization.

A practical and useful reference for scientists and researchers, anyone in ?fisheries management or marine resource management, fish farmers, policy makers, leaders and regulators, operations researchers as well as faculty and students.

Stewart Clegg – Thoughts on online teaching:

Mixed results:

  • Doing “tutorials” with 35-40 students for 90 minutes is quite exhausting and demands a great deal of ‘presence’ on the part of the tutor; getting online participation is not easy.
  • Webinars with some structured questions for discussion and some quiz questions is both less exhausting and, I think, more useful. However, in the system in which I was teaching the tutorials were obligatory and the webinars were not so the webinar participation was very low.
  • The worst aspect is some of the software involved; I found MS Teams very difficult to use for the tutorials – as I had no training in it – so I switched to Zoom and asked the students to self-manage their breakouts – they seemed to be able to do this quite well and were clearly digitally savvy compared to myself.
  • I think that a combination of studio quality pre-recorded lectures supported by trained producers plus more low -tech webinars will work well; however, tutorials, I think, should be face to face as soon as the conditions allow for this to occur.
  • Tutorials online are a poor option for the students; they miss out on the social interaction; the impromptu nature of a context within which discussion can be curated and flow freely.
  • Lectures are, I think much better on line; students have much more flexibility in when they attend.

EURAM Early Career Community (EECC) members publish new book on Understanding Islamic Business

The 8th EURAM Early Career Colloquium (EECC) held at the Rabat Business School, International University of Rabat in Rabat, Morocco, in 2017 brought together senior and junior faculty members. Their goal was to discuss how to have impact, facilitate innovation as well as catalyse careers. One subject explored further was the rise of Islamic business. The resulting new book discusses how the overarching concept of falah economy, i.e. an economy focused on well-being, impacts companies and management. It is interesting to note that many centuries before the Brundtland Report or the SDGs, well-being emerged as the most desirable outcome of doing business.

Newly Launched Research Project – Call for Contributions

Events are universal and they occupy a special place in all societies and cultures around the globe. BUT, what does the future of events look like? We are witnessing the devastating impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the event industry. Hosting and managing large or even small events is, and will continue to be, in the spotlight of political and health-related considerations around the globe when it comes to disease spreading and social distancing requirements. For an industry that thrives in human interactions, socialising and networking components, physical distancing is a headache for event planners. Event design will have to adopt to new arrangements, but many people will remain sceptical about attending events. The environmental footprint of hosting events and its consumption of natural as well as financial resources is another important issue on the political and social agenda of today. Furthermore, providing a safe environment for event participants has become a nightmare for event managers following the terror attacks in France, England and Germany.

Even though global warming and the recent development of the pandemic is still not promising, the event industry cannot remain frozen. Therefore, the conveyors of the standing track on “Managing Events” at the SIG on “Managing Sport” aims to respond to the challenges the event industry faces and seek for contributions to establish a research project on the topic to discuss the immediate and long-term future of the industry. Please get in touch with Harald Dolles at Molde University College (Norway) or Thomas Könecke at KU Leuven (Belgium) if you are interested to participate.

Ants bring together researchers from Management and Agriculture!

It was last in 1902 that Bingham undertook a comprehensive investigation of the prevalence and diversity of ants in the Indian subcontinent region. Now, about 120 years later, these arthropods have helped establish collaboration between a social scientist, Dr. Masud Khawaja from the University of the Fraser Valley, Canada, and researchers from a leading agricultural university of the Indian subcontinent to collaborate on updating empirical evidence on the implications of climate change on the biodiversity of these species in the area. It is indeed ironic that during these times of Covid-19, while humans are ‘social distancing’; these ‘social insects’ have brought together scholars from two continents to explore nature and climate change! Look out for the publication soon. – Masud Khawaja

Managing eternal wellbeing for the environment and humanity

Send email headed “Eternal wellbeing” to sturnbull@alumni.harvard.edu to join introductory Internet workshop being co-organised by Dr Shann Turnbull as proponent of S01.03. Elinor Ostrom has identified the self-governing architecture required to protect the common good without markets or hierarchy since pre-modern times. The existence of self-governing automobiles and robotic space explorers demonstrates that system scientists have also acquired this knowledge that now need to be taught to managers, voters and their political leaders. Case studies of substantial firms who have invented their own self-governing architecture 50 years ago, as described by Ostrom, confirms their resiliency and competitiveness. Details of knowledge sources are in Turnbull’s three videos: https://youtu.be/Gx0BeipqMdg;
