Launch of the Environmental Economics chair and presentation of the results

Introduced by President Frédérique Lardet and Deputy Valérie Riotton, as well as the presidents of the USMB and the Foundation, the launch was a great success!
Aude Pommeret (USMB, IREGE), scientific director of the chair, presented the results of the studies conducted to identify the needs of the territory and the interests of companies. In response, the heads of the research areas (including Bérangère Legendre and Florian Fizaine, USMB, IREGE) led a round table discussion on the theme “The challenges of environmental transition, a territory and its actors” during which the research areas defined in response to the identified needs were presented.

Call for papers for a Special Issue to mark the 30th birthday of AIMS “Grand challenges and the future of management studies”

In 2022, the International Association of Strategic Management will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Taking stock of 30 years of research, this special issue invites innovative studies which question strategy and organization theories as we know them and which might help to accelerate the grand challenges ‘turn’ in management studies. Management studies have been increasingly acknowledging the urgency of researching and tackling grand challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, aging societies, big data and digitalization, gender inequalities, labor slavery, resource depletion, poverty and disaster risks.

This call for papers is open to interdisciplinary approaches which draw on human and natural sciences, engineering, design, and urbanism to examine how strategy and organization studies can help to make sense of and address grand challenges. We will also welcome epistemological, theoretical, methodological and empirical works, as these grand challenges will require new observational tools and new ways of analyzing data.
