Conference Themes
The 2015 edition of the Strategy Conference will present 4 main themes:
- Strategy as practice
- Strategy as process
- Strategy and governance
- Strategy and institutions
Call for Papers
Following the success of the first conference in 2012 which focused on knowledge and learning and the second conference held in 2013 with the goal of stimulating discussions around strategy process research during turbulent times, this third conference aims to connect the micro to the macro within the strategy field.
We welcome both extended abstracts and papers based on case studies, comparative research, ethnographies, survey-based work, large statistical analysis and conceptual papers.
This edition of the UEBS strategy Conference will facilitate a deeper understanding of these emerging topics and questions within the field and it will also allow PhD students and experienced academics and keynote speakers to strengthen their dialogue and their comprehension of such important issues.
