Following the request of some colleagues with respect to the showcase symposium that we are organizing to commemorate Steve Floyd's legacy ("1168 Celebrating the Scholarly Life and Contributions of Steven Floyd", co-sponsored by STR and SAP), we are collecting and compiling a set of short videos from those that remember Steve's contributions to the academic community.
The compiled video will be shown during the symposium. If you are available and interested in contributing a short recorded video testimony, please reach out to the organizers: Yoojung Ahn (yjahn@korea.ac.kr) or Emmanuelle Reuter (emmanuelle.reuter@unine.ch). We will provide a step-by-step guide to upload a video!

| In October 2022, we unexpectedly lost our dear colleague, mentor, and friend, Steven W. Floyd. This Symposium looks back on his life as an academic. His contributions have proved to be constitutional in developing several management research fields, e.g. around strategy-as-practice, middle managers, strategic initiatives and change, and corporate entrepreneurship among others. In addition, Steve provided generous efforts in the scholarly communities by serving in numerous professional roles within the strategy and wider management community, as editor, and in executive leadership teams of professional communities. This Symposium provides an opportunity and space for members across different (strategy) communities to come together and celebrate the life and work of Steve. It includes a keynote providing an overview of Steve's life and scholarly work, panel presentations discussing (1) Steve's influence on various sub-fields within strategy and management research; (2) Steve's professional service in editorial roles and as bridge-builder between communities; (3) Steve's work as a supervisor and mentor developing academic talent. It will be closed by a Q&A and an informal networking session. |
