 lding-the-community-economy-the-role-of-management-studies/\n\n\nCommunit
 y-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.
