Overview
The Strategic Human Capital (SHC) field attracts scholars from the strategy and human resource management areas, with disciplinary backgrounds in economics, psychology and sociology. This exciting Extension aims at moving the field forward by advancing interdisciplinary perspectives and exploring novel methodologies and data sources. Panel discussions are expected to center around issues like (but not limited to):
§ New perspectives on mobility and matching: How do firms combine internal and external labor markets to gain, motivate, and empower their talent?
§ Strategic Organization Design: How do firm structures and micro-level resources interact in the creation of firm value?
§ Systems and complementarities: How can interdisciplinary perspectives on HC systems, complementarities, and value creation be used to advance our view of SHC?
§ New research methods and data: Big data provide novel opportunities and challenges, and needs for new methodologies and data handling and gathering approaches.
Location
The LMU Munich Extension will be held at the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation in Munich. The foundation is an independent foundation for the promotion of the sciences, and is located within an annex at Munich's historic Nymphenburg Palace. The location is easily accessed by public transportation. Munich is a convenient transit airport to Berlin (location of the SMS main conference), and is connected by air with many cities around the world. The extension will be held two days before the official start of Oktoberfest; so we can enjoy the atmosphere without the crowds.
