Currently, the Academy of Management (AoM) hosts its Annual Meeting in Boston. The meeting is mainly organized along various Divisions and Interest Groups and follows fairly standard conference formats such as paper sessions, panels (“Symposiums”) and round table sessions. In all of these sessions, topics, speakers and facilitators are defined in advance, establishing a clear hierarchy between session organizers and speakers on the one hand, and the audience on the other hand.
Last week, Monica Nadegger, Katharina Zangerle, and Milena Leybold (University of Innsbruck, Department for Organization and Learning) traveled to the beautiful island Sardegna to meet for four days with around 2000 people at the Colloquium of the European Group of Organization Studies.

Join us for an open conversation on academic writing, its beauty and challenges, and the pressure of “you should be writing” as early career scholars over a coffee on March 14th!
Academic writing can be a fulfilling but also challenging and overwhelming experience for early career scholars. On March 14th from 13.00 to 14.30, please join us for an honest exchange on our struggles and great moments in writing. Daniela Rothe (Writing Center, University of Innsbruck) will talk about the practice of journalling in academia, the tinkering between the scientific object itself and writing, and the re-(production) of gender stereotypes in scientific writing. Monica, Milena, and Ellen (early career researchers at the University of Innsbruck & Leuphana University Lüneburg) will share their writing experiences based on a collective letter diary they wrote to each other over a couple of months to reflect on their writing practices.
We would love to hear about your experiences, too, and together question and discuss the norms and ways of academic writing.
The Strategizing Activities and Practices (SAP) is an Interest Group at the Academy of Management and thus quite global. However, beyond international meetings and online collaborations, we thought more regional meetings would be nice to allow for informal exchange and peer learning. And the first Austrian SAP Community meeting on January 13, 2023, demonstrated that this thesis was highly accurate. Thanks to all who joined us in Innsbruck – and a special thank you goes to Milena Leybold, who was the lead organizer of the event.
Am Montag, 25. April 2022, darf ich ab 9:00 Uhr im Literaturhaus am Inn, Josef-Hirn-Str. 5, mit der Schriftstellerin Andrea Winkler das traditionelle Montagsfrühstück bestreiten. Aus der Ankündigung zur Veranstaltung:
Die Corona-Pandemie macht einmal mehr deutlich, dass unsere Gesellschaft tief in einer so genannten „Infodemie“ steckt. Aufgrund einer Flut an Falschinformationen und Fake-News, die sich vor allem in den sozialen Medien rasant verbreiten, verlieren komplexe und wissenschaftlich belegte Fakten an Glaubwürdigkeit. Was ist objektiv, was ist subjektiv? Was Wissen, was Glauben? In diesem Montagsfrühstück sollen unter anderem Wege und Mittel diskutiert werden, wie das Vertrauen in die Wissenschaften zurückgewonnen werden kann, aber auch, welche Konsequenzen dies für Autorschaft und für das literarische Schreiben hat.
Our Org. Studies program Students and Alumni Day is postponed to November 2022 due to the current Covid situation. Please check back for the final date, and will inform you of further details as the event approach.
Am Donnerstag, 18. November um 18 Uhr liefert Richard Weiskopf einen Impulsvortrag zum Thema “Organisation und die Kritik des Wahrsprechens (parrhesia)” im Rahmen des Philosophischen Cafés in der Innsbrucker Bäckerei.
Im Anschluss gibt es wie beim Philosophischen Café üblich die Möglichkeit zur Diskussion und zum informellen Austausch bei Speis und Trank. Es sind Covid-Bestimmungen zu beachten, es gilt die 2G-Regel. Darüber hinaus werden aufgrund der prekären pandemischen Lage alle Besucher:innen gebeten, sich zeitnah vor der Veranstaltung zusätzlich testen zu lassen, um einen möglichst sicheren und entspannten philosophischen Abend zu ermöglichen.
In June, the Strategizing Activities and Practices (SAP) Interest Group is going to host two webinars. They are part of a webinar series, where leading SAP scholars introduce SAP newbies to the foundations of SAP research, and provide more advanced participants with added clarity around core issues related to strategizing activities and practices.
On June, 4th, Paul Spee, Associate Professor in Strategy at the University of Queensland, will present on “”Strategy-as-practice and the Focus on Sociomateriality”. On June 18th, Leonhard Dobusch will present on “Open Strategy as a Practice”.
If you are interested in attending one or both of the free webinars, please register here:
