GT14_00 General Track
The EURAM 2019 conference theme is “Exploring the Future of Management: Facts, Fashion and Fado. The last few years have been marked by a number of migration movements that not only transform and enrich the human landscape of many countries but appear to be a long-lasting trend. How to qualify and integrate these migrants in the workplace? How to manage an increasingly diverse and multicultural workforce? Couple this with the challenge of robotisation and scholars will have multiple reasons for wanting to continue their mission of probing into and exploring the future. Management is about doing things through people. Who are these new people? The behaviour of organisations vis-à-vis the society is increasingly scrutinised and its impact cannot be ignored. Help making EURAM 2019 a forum where new propositions and answers will be debated, where new theories will be exposed to address the many problems that challenge organisations and their management.

GENERAL TRACK 2019 TRACKS
T14_04 - Organising for resilience in extreme contexts
This track will address a major gap in our understanding – organising for resilience in contexts that are abnormal, exceptional, or extreme. This can involve the processes of anticipating, preparing for, responding to and learning from disruptive events in order to survive and prosper. Our specific focus is on in extreme contexts where risks of severe physical, psychological harm or material consequences threaten the viability of an organisation and the safety and well-being of its organisational members. We will explore the theoretical, methodological and practical dimensions of the topic.

T14_05 - The future of organizations in the age of digital transformation
The current debate on digital transformation is characterized by a strong imagery that praises the opportunities of digitalization in the highest possible terms and often plays with the fear claiming that without a short-term realization of the digital transformation organizations will lose out. This underlines the urgent need to discuss the digital transformation and its possible differential implications on organizations from a more balanced point of view. The proposed track invites researchers and practitioners to share their ideas about the future of different types of organizations considering both the opportunities and challenges provided by the digital transformation.
