S01.01 - Biodiversity and Human organizations: a transdisciplinary overview (management, biology, philosophy, etc.)
SIG 01 - B4S - Business for Society
SIG 14 - Conference General Track
Few researchers in management and other social sciences work on biodiversity conservation. This symposium aims at constructing a community of researchers.
Since the industrial revolution, we face a new issue: we created large-scale organizations to produce what we need, but their activity endanger the natural ecosystems we also depend on. Expected short papers should address the following issues:
- individual and organizational factors of biodiversity loss
- the effects of this loss on human beings
- the initiatives aiming at changing our behaviours and our organizations in order to stop this destruction.

S01.02 - Business for Society Project, next step: Finance for Society
SIG 01 - B4S - Business for Society
The objective of the symposium is to share with scholars and practitioners our ongoing research on “business for society”. The project seeks to redress the idea that businesses should have a positive and durable impact on society. The open question is: what businesses can and should do to achieve superior societal goals? Accordingly, the symposium highlights the evolution of financial models over the past three decades and the need to move toward more responsible finance in accordance with sustainable development imperatives. The symposium is designed around the book series entitled "Business for Society", edited by Routledge.

S01.03 - Democratically Governed Organizations: Managing Existential Risks for the Common Good
SIG 01 - B4S - Business for Society
SIG 14 - Conference General Track
Faced with an array of social, economic, ecological and ethical challenges, organizations seek new forms of governance to improve their performance, social responsibilities and societal impact. Research reveals that stakeholder-controlled firms introduce distributed decision-making processes, contrary to dominant management theories and practices based on centrally controlled command and control hierarchies. Large stakeholder network firms illustrate what Ostrom (1990) describes as “polycentric compound republics” that can avoid the tragedy of the commons. The symposium seeks to identify management theories, methodologies and practices for assessing performance, governance, and ethical engagement in democratically controlled organizations with the capability of fostering both local and global common good.

S01.04 - Putting the Sustainability in Action through Finance and ESG criteria: Which Future for the Institutional Investors and the Companies?
SIG 01 - B4S - Business for Society
SIG 14 - Conference General Track
The Symposium aims to shed light on how the growing attention to environmental and sustainability issues is increasingly influencing the behavior of both institutional investors and public (and private) companies.
The following themes and questions may be considered:
How can the ESG criteria influence investment choices?
How can the banking system and the community of institutional investors work for a better sustainability of the economic choices of public companies?
How can the supra-national control bodies (with Central banks in the first place) direct the financial and economic systems towards a more sustainable future?

S01.05 - Societal effects of organizational democracy
SIG 01 - B4S - Business for Society
SIG 14 - Conference General Track
Organizational democracy has been one of the traditional topoi of organization and management studies for the last four decades. A wide array of organizational practices has been discussed in this field, such as employee participation in decision-making, representative participation or financial participation. Where the vast majority of previous research in this field focuses on company-related effects of organizational democracy, an emerging literature considers whether organizational democracy could generate societal and political outcomes. Interactively with the audience, this symposium seeks to discuss and explore the processes and mechanisms explaining the link between organizational democracy and its societal and political effects.

SIG 02 - COGO - Corporate Governance
SIG 13 - SM - Strategic Management
Management scholars face a common hurdle: high levels of rejection rates. Publishing governance research is even more challenging, given the interdisciplinary nature of the research community. This session will provide both a high level view on the review process, as well as detailed suggestions and common pitfalls to avoid. We describe scientific processes in management studies, and their implications for prospective authors. Next, we examine key issues that arise in the review process, such as framing, research design, and reporting. Finally, we explore skill sets and techniques needed for handling revisions. The session will be led by experienced journal editors.

S03.01 - Anticipating future sustainability – Shifting the dance in the entrepreneurship, ownership, management and innovation fields
SIG 03 - ENT - Entrepreneurship
SIG 01 - B4S - Business for Society
The symposium creates a dance-arena for constructing sustainability ballads in the fields of entrepreneurship, ownership, management, and innovation by discussing concepts, approaches, and perspectives, and presenting case studies focusing on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The dance-arena places emphasis on how entrepreneurship, ownership, management, and innovation are done to creating interlinkages between different SDGs and thereby preventing poverty, supporting human rights, empowering people, and assuring protection to the earth’s biosphere. The integration of different SDGs on entrepreneurial and business activities is central for the realization of the SDGs and shifting research agendas.

S03.02 - Can you (really) teach entrepreneurship? Evaluating the Impact of Entrepreneurship Teaching Methods
SIG 03 - ENT - Entrepreneurship
SIG 04 - FABR - Family Business Research
Many studies in Entrepreneurship converge on the influential role of the family for the development of entrepreneurial intention (Randolph et al. 2017; Chirico and Nordqvist 2010). Other studies also show that the belonging to a family of entrepreneurs would also have a positive impact on the capacity one has to make a business grow (Heck et al. 2008, Cruz et al. 2006). Therefore, what is the role of business schools and teaching in entrepreneurship? Does this teaching have any real impact (and, if yes, in what sense)? Or do Business Schools “simply” play the “knighting role”?

SIG 03 - ENT - Entrepreneurship
There is a growing consensus regarding what an entrepreneurial ecosystem is, yet the implication for policy as well as entrepreneurial and managerial practice remain unclear. This symposium strikes a balance between focusing on the entrepreneurial ecosystem concept but also opening the discussion to involve a number of EURAM attendees that are not directly involved in this line of research. By bringing together a number of experts that provide an overview of recent advances in ecosystem research, this symposium aims to provide a basis for future research and collaboration among participants.

S05.01 - Beyond Hofstede: an intersectional approach to culture
SIG 05 - GRDO - Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organisations
SIG 07 - IM - International Management
In this interdisciplinary symposium, we introduce novel methods 'beyond Hofstede' that show how the study of (cross-cultural) differences and workplace diversity will gain from approaching culture in intersection, namely as involving the interrelated facets of culture, power and diversity. The underlying idea is that (cross-cultural) management is not power-free, and that diversity studies are not free of culture. For instance, the realities and lived experiences of diversity categories such as gender, race and ethnicity overshadow managerial practice in general, yet, their specific effects differ across cultures and organizations, and thus have to be studied and managed in intersection.

S06.02 - The logic of the possible
SIG 06 - INNO - Innovation
SIG 14 - Conference General Track
Linking directly to the general theme of the conference, we argue that for imagining and designing the future in a robust way we should have an idea of the logic and method of imagination that may work and matter, of devising solutions that in the course of not being yet realized can be assessed as possible. Usueful inputs for 'rational imagination' could come from various disciplines and streams of study including: design theory, set theory, logic of discovery, cognitive science and economic philosophy. The four presentations - by the two proponents, by Alberto Feduzi (U. London) and by Santi Furnari (Cass BS) - combine a selection of those tools with relevant application domains in management as project, product and organization design.

S07.01 - And What Now? The (Ir)Relevance of Expatriate Management Research
SIG 07 - IM - International Management
The expatriate management field has a lot to be proud of. But the world of expatriation is steadily changing (McNulty & Brewster, 2019). Like other disciplines, the field now favours and rewards academic rigour more than any practical application - to the point of potential irrelevance (Kulik, 2014). What, then, is the ‘societal relevance’ of what we do? The symposium brings together a high profile panel of expatriation scholars to debate the provocative question of the "(Ir)Relevance of Expatriate Management Research". How can our field stay relevant in a quickly changing world? What are the ‘grand’ societal challenges we can address?

Employee well-being is a hot topic in organizational life and research. However, the dominant models within HRM theory and research continue to look for a link between HRM and performance, while neglecting organizations’ responsibilities to their employees. Organizations that promote employees’ well-being and healthy workplaces because making employees happier foster their effort and productivity. On how to achieve more effectively happier workers, it becomes necessary to open the discussion on the relationship between leadership and HR practices that promote work-life balance. A new analytic framework for HRM is suggested for further discussion, giving priority to managerial actions towards well-being.

Nowadays, no organisation is exploited without the help of data for making decisions. Data-driven organizations are converting data and information into new forms of value. However, little is known about how this affects projects and project management. The proposed symposium aims at exploring the methodological and theoretical perspectives to understand datafication in project management by focusing on three key questions: Do the existing theories allow understanding the datafication phenomenon in project management? Do we need to modify / adapt existing theories to better understand it? Should we develop/build new theories to better understand it?

SIG 10 - PO - Project Organizing
Temporary forms of organizing include organizational projects, project-based and ‑supported organizations, project portfolios and sequences, inter-organizational projects and also more complex project networks or project ecologies. Project management research, or project studies more broadly, has over the years not only broadened its spectrum from isolated projects to project-based organizations and project networks, but also opened up towards developments in management and organization theory. The notion of “temporary organizing” not only captures these past developments, but also offers additional opportunities for studying and theorizing.

SIG 11 - PM&NPM - Public and Non-Profit Management
SIG 13 - SM - Strategic Management
The symposium will discuss the idea that management (as well as public administration) should be a family of design-oriented professional disciplines concerned with a variety of forms of enterprise.
In particular, public management as a design-oriented professional discipline could be a prototype for manifestos for other professional disciplines concerned with one or another form of enterprise.
The session will be designed around Michael Barzelay’s latest book, Public Management as a Design-Oriented Professional Discipline (Edward Elgar, 2019), which will serve as a pivot for purposive theorizing about public organizations, design-projects, and skillful professional activity. The author will join the session and introduce the main ideas behind the book, which is available freely online at this link: https://bit.ly/2lzB2fw - participants are encouraged to read it in advance to facilitate open discussion.

More in general, papers on both best practices and corporate misbehaviors are welcome. Although prior research has established a positive association between best practices and performances (financial and social) and a negative association between misbehaviors and economic growth there is the need to better understand what are the potential channels through which good and bad practices affect managerial design and economic outcomes, both at the organizational level and at the country level.

Policymakers, businesses and individuals are actively searching for ways to increase innovation at all levels of society including individuals, firms, industries, nations, and regions. It is where various ecosystem concepts of ‘business-’, ‘knowledge-’, ’innovation-’ and ‘entrepreneurial ecosystems’ come into play. Despite the increasing research interest, many scholars still find the theoretical foundations of ecosystems unclear. That is why this session will be highly interactive with panelists and participants working together in small roundtable groups to develop a preliminary research agenda that combines individual members’ research interests with the aim of forming a global research network for follow up collaboration.

S13.02 - How do Firms Shape the Future?
SIG 13 - SM - Strategic Management
SIG 14 - Conference General Track
Shaping the future is a desirable possibility for most firms. Yet, most mainstream strategy paradigms are skeptical about the possibility of forward-looking behavior, and are dominated by narratives of “adaptation” and “fit” with a future environment. The growing sense that we do not know enough about the distinctive processes by which firms shape the future serves as our motivation for the proposed symposium. Drawing on empirical and conceptual work, the five proponents contemplate various aspects of a shaping-oriented strategy —ranging from the role of imagination, opportunity-creation, and value-creation, to more critical perspectives on shaping as emergent and prone to errors.

There has been a surge of interest in abduction as a method in management research in recent years, yet many scholars are unfamiliar with abduction as it is not part of the standard instruction at Ph.D. programs. The aim of the symposium is to de-mystify how abduction differs from induction and deduction and to demonstrate how this approach can be used to enrich theorizing. Panelists will engage in a lively discussion of how abduction has been used in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies, and stimulate audience members to think about how abduction might be relevant for their own research.

SIG 14 - Conference General Track
Digital technologies have transformed business practices and the society faster than ever before. Accordingly, companies have stressed the importance of building and maintaining a “digital relationship” with their customers. However, with the emergence of new digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), and Internet of Things (IoT), digital marketers have started to face new challenges, such as privacy concerns, data protection, and reliability of data-driven approaches. Thus, this symposium aims to provide a systematic overview of new digital technologies and their impact on digital marketing strategies by incorporating both academic research and industry insights.

Migration is a key feature of today's managerial world. Many labour markets depend on migration, yet, migration is also becoming increasingly complex. For instance, we can identity multiple directions, groups of migrants, and even "superdiversity". We thus need to approach migration by means of multiple perspectives, concepts and methods. In this interdisciplinary symposium, we explore the following questions: How do migrants and employers make sense of the integration process in context? What are the critical power effects of migration on multiple levels? Which multi-paradigmatic perspectives and innovative methods can help us understand the complexity and diversity of migration?
