The Strategic Interest Group (SIG) Innovation at the European Academy of Management (EURAM) aims to:
- facilitate the continued evolution of an open, inclusive, international and cross- cultural EURAM community of engaged scholars,
- support scholars in designing, producing and disseminating higher quality and impactful research at each stage of their career,
- influence the development of management education,
- provide platforms and facilitate networks for the dialogue between scholars, reflective practitioners, and policy makers.
The Goal of SIG Innovation is to create an open “learning climate” for all members (juniors and seniors) to reach the goals of EURAM in the field of innovation.

INNOVATION SIG STANDING TRACKS
ST03_01/ST06_01/ST13_01 - Business Model - Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Venturing (co-sponsored by Entrepreneurship SIG-03, Innovation SIG-06 and Strategic Management SIG-13)
Business Model - Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Venturing
The confirmed interest for the business model and the central question of how to innovate the business model provide a range of avenues for further research in the field (Massa, Tucci & Afuah, 2017; Foss & Saebi, 2016; Spieth, Schneckenberg & Ricart, 2014). While ongoing research aims to understand the business model and its role in firm performance, scholars face persistent questions about constituent components, sequences and contingencies. Consequently, this track invites research addressing the process of business model innovation and the intent of firms to develop value-creating and value-capturing activities.

ST06_03 - Digital Innovation: Strategies, Competencies, Theories, and Practice
New organizational challenges arise when accommodating digital innovation; it characterizes either with the use of digital technologies during the innovation process, or with the outcome of innovation. Digital innovation modifies the ways of working and how people use technology. It carries organizational challenges in relation with the firm’s capacity to coordinate knowledge and resources and with open innovation.
We expect several types of contributions: workplace and work practices; organizational structure; emergence of new roles in resources orchestration and knowledge articulation; critical competences to facilitate coordination and creativity; the role of technological artifacts; and the elaboration of new business models.

ST06_04 - Inter-organizational networks and innovation
The track aims to stimulate and update the debate on the relationship between inter-organizational networks and innovation. Despite the great attention in past decades still many topics deserve a better investigation and attention, with possible important contribution to the general theoretical framework.

ST06_05 - Knowledge, learning and innovation in cross sector collaborations
Searching to facilitate creative processes, organisations recognise that the source of new ideas and information lies in the interaction between different functional departments, as well as in the cooperation with external actors. That is why increasingly, organisations from multiple sectors (i.e., government, business and civil society) are collaborating to tackle larger and more complex challenges beyond the organisation and sectoral boundaries. Examples of such challenges include the emergence of new industries and markets, financial crises and political conflicts, responses to socio-cultural change, the provision of health care and poverty.

ST06_06 - Managing for Service Innovation
This track encourages discourse on the management of service innovation in different settings (digital, industrial, traditional service innovation). It includes current themes in service innovation research such as
- the co-creative nature of services and the multi-dimensionality of service innovation as a process demanding the integration of various stakeholders;
- the role of the service (eco)systems which enable and guide service innovation activities;
- the role of service innovation platforms and ICTs to align multiple players for service innovation; and
- the need for tools and methods to deal with the process-character of services.

ST06_07 - Open Innovation
The track aims to stimulate a discussion on the latest research insights in open and collaborative innovation in the ecosystem, especially with respect to new perspectives, methods, tools, competencies and context-specific solutions. This track involves diffrent concepts : open innovation, innovation and ecosystem, collaborative innovation, Interllectual Porperty rights and innovation.

ST06_08 - Organising creativity for innovation: Multidisciplinary perspectives, theories, and practices
This track intends to address research from various disciplines on organisational creativity and innovation. Our objective is to discuss the processes, mechanisms, behaviours, tools and methods that promote or hamper creative and innovative efforts of individuals and teams, and how they can be managed. We focus on: “Organising” which includes (HR) management practices, leadership, organisational elements, and strategic environment; the “Creativity” of individuals and teams in general as well as with a specific creative task; the “Innovation” of products, services, processes, marketing, business models, etc., and on the contribution to firm “performance”. We welcome both conceptual/theoretical and empirical contributions.

ST06_10 - Sustainability, Circular and Green Tech Innovation
Innovation researchers and practitioners are increasingly interested in reframing ecological and societal challenges as opportunities for innovation. In this track we explore recent advances towards the broader field of sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) as well as the subthemes of circular and green technology innovation. We are keen to understand these innovation directions on the levels of products, product-service systems, and business models and are particularly interested in a better understanding of the innovation and entrepreneurial processes, as well as the related ecosystems, underlying these innovation outcomes. Last but not least, we are also interested in how these organisational practices link into.
