SUMMARY:Building the Community Economy: The Role of Management Studies
DESCRIPTION:Event from rsm.nl - see
 https://www.rsm.nl/events/detail/12164-building-the-community-economy-the
 -role-of-management-studies/\n\n\nCommunity-based forms of organising are
 re-emerging as credible responses to societal grand challenges such as
 climate change\, inequality\, and the energy transition. Across political
 economy\, transition studies\, and related fields\, the notion of a
 “community economy” highlights diverse forms of value creation\,
 ownership\, and exchange that move beyond market–state binaries and
 foreground collective agency and local embeddedness. \n\n\nHowever\,
 management scholarship has yet to fully engage with the organisational
 foundations\, governance dynamics\, and scaling trajectories of such
 initiatives. Greater attention is needed to understand how
 community-based organising challenges\, extends\, or reshapes dominant
 assumptions in management and organisation theory. \n\n\nThis two-day
 research development workshop invites papers that advance conversations
 in management and organisation studies on community economy and community
 enterprises as collectively governed\, locally embedded\, and
 purpose-driven forms of organising. \n\n\nThe workshop aims to strengthen
 theoretical positioning\, sharpen conceptual contributions\, and develop
 publication strategies aligned with leading outlets in management and
 organisation studies. Hosted by the ERC-funded SCENSUS research team at
 the Business-Society Management Department of Rotterdam School of
 Management\, Erasmus University (RSM)\, the workshop is sponsored by the
 Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS)\, the scholarly
 association behind the Journal of Management Studies. \n\n\nWe
 particularly encourage submissions from early-career scholars and
 researchers working across disciplinary boundaries who seek to engage
 management and organisation theory through community-based organising.
 The workshop supports scholars in developing theoretically grounded
 research with strong publication potential in management and organisation
 studies. Download the call for papers (pdf) for more
 information.\n\nSubmission deadline: 15 April 2026 (23:59
 CET)\n\nDistinguished contributors \n\n\nThe workshop brings together
 senior scholars who will contribute to plenary discussions and provide
 developmental feedback in paper sessions: \n\n\n	Christopher Wickert\,
 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam \n	Pilar Acosta\, TBS Education \n	Gorgi
 Krlev\, ESCP Business School \n	Pablo Muñoz\, Durham University Business
 School \n\n\n\nWorkshop convener: Thomas Bauwens\, Rotterdam School of
 Management \n\nWorkshop format \n\n\nThe program combines: \n\n\n	an
 opening keynote and a keynote roundtable on positioning community economy
 research in management studies \n	parallel paper development sessions in
 small groups\, where each paper receives structured and focused feedback.
 Each session follows a 20-minute presentation and a 10-minute feedback
 conversation. \n	a plenary session focused on publication strategy\,
 reviewer expectations\, and journal positioning \n\n\n\nParticipants
 benefit from: \n\n\n	targeted feedback from senior scholars and
 peers\n	guidance on strengthening theoretical contributions \n	insights
 into publication strategies\n	opportunities to build scholarly networks
 in this emerging research area. \n\n\nVenue and logistics \n\n\nThe
 workshop will be held at Rotterdam School of Management\, Erasmus
 University in The Netherlands. There is no registration fee. Meals\,
 coffee\, and refreshments will be provided. Participants are expected to
 arrange their own travel and accommodation.\n\nDoctoral bursaries
 (limited) \n\n\nA limited number of doctoral bursaries (approx. €335)
 will be available to help offset travel and accommodation costs. Doctoral
 students who wish to be considered should include a brief justification
 in their submission (max. 200 words) explaining why financial support is
 needed and what costs it would cover. Bursaries will be allocated based
 on demonstrated need and available funds.
