The Strategic Management Strategic Interest Group (SIG) 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, and survival, adaptation, and long-term performance. The SIG was launched at the EURAM 2010 conference in Rome attracting close to a hundred submissions including the best conference paper of the year. Since then the SIG has significantly grown and increased its scope covering a broader set of strategic management issues.
The success and enduring popularity of this particular SIG are premised on our commitment to bringing together scholars primarily from Europe but also from all around the world to engage in the development and exchange of high-quality research ideas with the potential to fertilize and drive the future directions of scholarly and practitioner strategic thinking alike.
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 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 track you are submitting.
In addition to our regular Strategic Management tracks on Corporate Strategy, Mergers and Acquisitions, Organizational Ambidexterity, and Strategies of Ports, we also have three new tracks this year: "Competitive dynamics - The changing fabrics of competition between firms and industrial clusters", "Explorations of the nature and mission of business ecosystems: Transforming social network to value chain through business model innovation", and „Strategic processes, practices and implementation". See, the enclosed full call for papers for more details on the different tracks. Prior to the conference we would also like to invite you to take part in the SIG pre-conference on June 4th, for which we invited a range of distinguished panelists: Panel 1: Strategy and innovation This panel will deal with the state of the art of research at the intersection of strategy and innovation, dealing with aspects such as platform competition, responding to radical innovation, intrapreneurship and ambidexterity. The panelists of this panel include Justin Jansen (RSM) and Joan Enric Ricart (IESE). Panel 2: TMTs and strategy: The role of TMT in strategy making and implementation
This panel is cosponsored with the TMT & Business Strategy EIASM group and the Corporate Governance SIG. It will discuss existing findings on the role of TMTs in strategy making and implementation from different perspectives, including the practice approach, and will also address emerging research streams on the impact of TMT personality on strategic decisions which lead to value creation and destruction. The panelists of this panel include Christophe Boone (ULB), Aharon Cohen (LBS), Don Hambrick (Penn State U), and Richard Whittington (Oxford U). We are very much looking forward to your submission to EURAM in Valencia in 2014! |
