    We are delighted to invite you to a compelling sub-plenary session at the EGOS Colloquium 2024 in Milan on July 5th, 2024. This session, titled "What's past is prologue: The (re-)emergence of purpose for organizations and organizing," promises to offer enriching discussions and insights into the evolving role of purpose in organizations.

    Details:

    🗓️ Date: Friday, July 5th, 2024
     Time: 16:00 - 17:30

    Session Overview: This session will explore the conceptual dimensions of time, space, and people as the "social scaffolding" through which we interpret purpose in organizations.

    We have an exceptional lineup of panelists, including:

    • Rodolphe Durand
    • Matt Kraatz
    • Renate E. Meyer
    • Roy Suddaby


    The sub-plenary session will begin with a thematic introduction by the organizers. The discussions will then unfold, starting with an exploration of organizational purpose and social value judgment, followed by insights into how purpose-driven organizations can drive institutional change. The conversation will also address the alignment of organizational purpose with values and will conclude by examining how purpose influences corporate governance and decision-making.

    Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for this stimulating and insightful session. We look forward to seeing you there! 

    Kindly contact any of the organizers for more information.

    Organizers: Deepika Chhillar, Luca Manelli, and Ricardo Flores
