Join us @ Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) Community Day: Rethinking Strategy Research in the Digital Age
EGOS Pre-Colloquium Workshop, Edinburgh 3rd of July 2019, 9.00 – 17.30
Dear Colleagues
We would like to invite you to join us at this year's EGOS Pre-Colloquium Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) Community Day.
This SAP Community Day will again consist of interactive sessions and workshops that will maximize engagement and dialogue among scholars interested in the process and practice of strategy-making. As digitalization rapidly gains importance for organizations of any kind, scholars across the SAP community need to reflect on research practice, in terms of topic and method. Entitled "Rethinking Strategy Research for the Digital Age", this SAP Community Day is designed as a space for this important conversation to take place. It consists of two parts with distinct goals:
· PART I [09:00–13:00] aims to make the SAP community more familiar with conducting research and being a scholar in the digital age. To this end, we will have two sessions. We kick off the day with a brief introductory presentation and a subsequent panel discussion amongst experienced scholars of digitalization. The panel will help us to explore different ways to study strategy in the digital age. After that, three panelists will introduce the notion of "open science" and together with the participants discuss how digitalization affects the role of the (strategy) researcher in society.
Distinguished experts who will join us include:
François-Xavier de Vaujany, Université Paris-Dauphine, France: "Hackers and Makers"
Stella Pachidi, University of Cambridge, UK: "Analytics and Algorithms"
Iain Munro, Newcastle University, UK: "Dark Side of the Digital"
Mikkel Flyverbom, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark: "Datafication and Anticipatory Governance"
Eugenia Rodrigues, University of Edinburgh, Dept. of Science Technology and Innovation Studies, UK: "Citizen Science as Open Science"
Theo Andrew, University of Edinburgh, College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, UK: "Developing an Institutional Open Science Strategy"
Maximilian Heimstädt, Witten/Herdecke University, Germany: "Potentials and Pitfalls of Open Science for SAP Research"
· PART II [14:00–17:30] features two rounds of paper development roundtable sessions. Attendees are able to present their research and gather feedback from leading SAP scholars. This format has been piloted at previous SAP Community Days and was always very well received. The afternoon session closes with a short outlook on current and forthcoming special issues related to SAP and a summary of the day.
Distinguished experts who will join us include:
Julia Balogun, University of Liverpool, United Kingdom
Leonhard Dobusch, University of Innsbruck, Austria
Paula Jarzabkowski, Cass Business School, United Kingdom
Ann Langley, HEC Montréal, Canada
