Dear Colleagues,
The Strategic Management special interest group (SIG) of the European Academy of Management (EURAM) is devoted to promoting state of the art strategic thinking by encouraging dialogue along several interrelated lines of inquiry crucial for increasing scholarly and managerial understanding regarding strategic choice, competitive advantage, adaptation, and long-term performance and survival. The SIG, which was launched at the last EURAM 2010 in Rome, attracted close to a hundred submissions including the best conference paper 2010. The success of the SIG is premised on our commitment towards bringing together scholars from around the world to engage in the development and exposure of high-quality research ideas with the potential to drive the future direction of scholarly and practitioner strategic thinking.
For this edition the SIG will be organized around five related sub-tracks (please click here or visit www.euram2011.org for detailed descriptions of the sub-tracks):
a) Corporate Strategy: Managing & Governing Alliances, M&As & Divestitures
b) Strategic Renewal: Driving Sustained Adaptation in Changing Environments
c) Exploration, Exploitation & Organizational Ambidexterity
d) Management & Technological Innovation At A Crossroads: New Processes, Practices, And Structures
e) Product-Market Strategies: The Relationship Between Production Strategies And Customer Value
Call for papers:
We hereby invite you to submit full paper versions of your work to one of these sub-tracks no later than January 17th, 2011, 14:00 Brussels time via www.euram2011.org. Empirical, conceptual, and practitioner-oriented papers from a plurality of theoretical perspectives, units of analyses, contexts, and research designs are welcome, with particular encouragement for those integrating multiple theoretical lenses and/or methodological approaches. All submitted papers to will be reviewed on a double-blind basis by two reviewers. Please adhere to the style guide of the Academy of Management when preparing your manuscripts and indicate on the title page to which sub-track you are submitting. If you have any further questions regarding the SIG or the sub-tracks, feel free to contact Mariano Heyden (mheyden@rsm.nl) or one of the other track chairs.
