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 business model topic attracts continued interest in business research and practice (Massa et al., 2017; Foss & Saebi, 2017, Zott, Baden-Fuller and Mangematin; 2015: Spieth et al., 2014). However, despite ongoing research efforts to understand the business model and its role in firm performance, scholars face persistent questions about constituent components, sequences and contingencies for the process of business model innovation, impacting strategic intents of the firm to develop new value-creating and value-capturing activities.

ST06_02 - New Challenges in Business Management: Working from Higher Education
Companies today are part of more complex and dynamic environments than ever, and this calls for new competencies and learning needs for managers. Higher education must deal with this challenge, ensuring that: 1. Students acquire appropriate competencies 2. Current managers have appropriate lifelong learning opportunities in order to be prepared to face the new challenges (in fact LLL has become one of the main demands of most socio-economic agents). The purpose of the track is to propose and analyze avenues for the development in higher education of skills and new learning needs related to business management.

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_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_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_09 - Design, Innovation and Organizations: Rethinking Theory and Practice
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
ST06_10 - Innovation for Circularity, Green Technologies and Sustainability
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 processes and related ecosystems underlying these innovation outcomes. Last but not least, we are interested in how organisational practices link into, if not impact broader sustainability transitions.

T06_13 - Managing people for innovation
Digital transformation for innovation is not only about technology. Thus, the track aims to stimulate the debate on new research and practice insights in the human aspects of innovation:
- „People innovating“ covering topics such as skills and competencies needed for innovation, team mechanisms as well as leadership for innovation.
- „Innovating for people“ covers human-centered topics such as social innovation, innovation with purpose and social entrepreneurship.
- „Context of people-centered innovation“ describing the circumstances in which people-centered innovation occurs, e.g. intra- and interorganisational structures and processes, new organisational forms in which innovation is created, mobile and virtual working etc.

T03_07/T06_14/T09_07 - Artificial Intelligence as an Enabler for Venture Creation, Innovation, and Organizational Change
Artificial Intelligence is perhaps the most promising architectural innovation in the 21st Century and will impact all aspects of society and businesses in far greater magnitude than any previous digital revolution (Makridakis, 2017). Given its powerful technological capabilities, AI is a promising enabler for organizations: It facilitates new venture creation processes (Nambisan, 2016), reshapes the nature of the innovation process and organization of R&D (Cockburn, Henderson, & Stern, 2018), augment management work (Kolbjørnsrud, Amico, & Thomas, 2016). Therefore, this track invites both conceptual and empirical research that examines the question of how AI can enable venture creation, innovation, and organizational change.

T06_15 / T08_03 - New Frontiers in Managing Sport: the Rise of Digital Transformation (co-sponsored by Innovation SIG-06 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
How value is generated in the Sport Industry has dramatically changed in the last years. Spectators/viewers want to play an active role as value co-creators. Wearables and the internet of things (IOTs) allow measuring athlete and amateur performance. Tradiums are combining sport, trade and entertainment. Virtual and augmented reality are delivering immersive services. Big data are fuelling artificial intelligence. eSports are attracting new fans within the youngest generations. This track aims at attracting novel contributions from scholars of sport management, innovation management, sports marketing and information science to develop “sports innovation” as a novel stream of research.
