Dear EIASM Friends,

EIASM prides itself on being an integral service center for the development and support of collaborative networks of academics and European institutions in management. Never hesitate to contact us for the development of your projects. we are always delighted to welcome your projects, to discuss cooperation dynamics and to provide you with the administrative support you need to develop your scientific cooperation on a European and global scale.

Cooperation is a must: we have enhanced the benefits for Universities and Business Schools of being EIASM Academic Council members – if your institution is not yet a member, just take a look at the advantages of being part of this fabulous community!

The annual EIASM Academic Council Meeting provides an important opportunity to bring together representatives of the member Schools and Universities as well as major sister Association representatives – to develop a shared approach towards advanced studies and research in management, and discuss what we can do together better and what EIASM can do differently. Book your agenda: the next EIASM Academic Council meeting will be held on 28 & 29 April 2025.  

At EIASM, we believe that Interdisciplinarity is needed to ensure that theory-building, empirical research, education and institution-building in management integrate knowledge and progress in an era of increasing specialization. This is essential to further develop management as a field that is able to advance theoretically, to provide relevant knowledge for students and practitioners, and to ultimately help navigating global societal challenges in a time of polycrisis while fostering a human-centered future in Management. In that perspective, you will find in this newsletter the call for nominations for the 6th EIASM Interdisciplinary Leader Award.

Through this edition, we also wanted to provide you with both feedback on events from recent months and to announce future projects and events.

As always, the EIASM Board and Staff remain fully at your service.

– Jérôme Chabanne-Rive
EIASM Executive Director

The EIASM Interdisciplinary Leader Award has been established to acknowledge individuals who have made exemplary contributions in interdisciplinary research.

The EIASM Board calls for nominations for the 6th EIASM Interdisciplinary Leader Award to be made by email to EIASM’s Executive Director, Prof. Jerome Chabanne-Rive (jerome.chabanne-rive@eiasm.be), by December 31, 2024.

**********

From June 21st to June 22nd, 2024, the WU Wien – Vienna University of Economics and Business – hosted the 15th EIASM Workshop on Accounting and Economics. Organized and chaired by Eva Labro (University of North Carolina), Christian Riegler (Vienna University of Economics and Business), and Alfred Wagenhofer (University of Graz), the workshop once again promoted the use of analytical modelling in accounting research. For this year’s edition, the event brought together a record number of 97 researchers from around the world.

The Workshop featured 47 presentations applying economic modelling in various settings related to current issues in financial, managerial, and sustainability reporting as well as auditing, taxation, and corporate governance. Participants greatly profited from the valuable feedback from the audience, especially from the formal discussion every paper received by another participant. The conference dinner took place at Schweizerhaus, a Viennese beer garden located in one of Vienna’s most famous attractions, the Prater. The dinner provided participants with a nice relaxed atmosphere where they could meet and discuss with other researchers.

As in previous editions, the Workshop featured two keynote speeches. Lin Nan (Purdue University) opened the event with a talk on accounting territories and what could be interesting topics for theoretical research. In the talk, she encouraged to not only focus on corporate disclosure but rather on the impact of information, leading to a broader application of analytical modelling. As an example, she highlighted her recent work on whistleblower programs.

The Workshop was closed by Robert Göx (University of Zürich), who examined the cost and benefits of more transparency about managers’ incentives. In his talk, he stressed the role of asymmetric information and highlighted his recent work on private pre-decision information and the pay-performance relation. Beyond talking about the effects of more transparency, he encouraged (not only young) researchers to not solely focus on finding new mechanisms for the literature, but to also to use the model structures provided by previous literature to address current important issues.

Overall, the Workshop offered an inspiring environment to discuss, exchange, and develop new research ideas. Many thanks go to the presenters, discussants, the organizers, and the team at the WU Wien for their efforts to make this workshop a great success.

Sabrina Hamr (WU Wien) and Martin Klösch (University of Graz)

After two successful editions of PAAM (EIASM Workshop on People Analytics & Algorithmic Management) the organisers invite you this year to Twente, The Netherlands on November 28-29.

Initiated by Maria J. Belizón (UCD College of Business, Ireland), Andy Charlwood (University of Leeds, UK) and Jeroen Meijerink (University of Twente, The Netherlands), the EIASM workshop took place in Dublin in 2022 and in Leeds in 2023 and attracted an international group of researchers. 

For this edition we invite papers from a wide range of disciplinary traditions that explore Analytics, Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence at work and in people management processes from both theoretical and practical perspectives, and we encourage papers which are multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary in nature. We welcome theoretical pieces as well as empirical papers from both qualitative and quantitative traditions. Submit a 3-page abstract by September 22, 2024.
 

Invited Keynote Speaker

EIASM thanks the chairpersons of this workshop for the continuous support.
