Accelerating change and increasing complexity of organizations’ environments pose challenges for organizations. Economic systems are characterised by perpetual novelty: agents act, react, adapt and interact, new technologies emerge, competition, institutions and behaviours change. ‘Management of change’ refers to initiating and coping with change both of the organization’s environment and of the organization itself.
We invite submissions to the special issue focusing on the management of change:
* Characterizing change and management of change: What is change, how does change happen, what kinds of change can be identified and imagined, what does ‘management of change’ mean? How can change be initiated, how can the organization pro-actively influence its environment, how can the organization prepare itself, what are the key decision areas?
* Management of Change in the light of theoretical approaches, e.g. institutional economics, behavioural economics, …
* Management of Change in organizations’ functions, e.g. production, marketing, finance, …
* Chances and risks of management of change in specific industries or markets, e.g. ICT, service industries, business-to-business markets, health care market, …
This list is not exhaustive.
