Dear OMT colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to the upcoming Organization Studies Summer Workshop (OSSW) with the theme "The Future of Strategizing and Organizing as Practice: Extensions and Connections". The OSSW takes place May 22-24,2025 on the beautiful island Crete (Minoa Palace, close to Chania airport). Next to the fantastic location, highlights are keynotes, paper development sessions, and many opportunities for socializing.
Theme of the OSSW
In Strategy-as-Practice research strategizing and organizing are "treated not as two discrete practices, but as inextricably linked together, a single duality rather than separable building blocks" (Whittington & Melin, 2003). We encourage you to go beyond conventional thinking in strategy and organization research by expanding the scope of SOAP. We suggest four promising avenues for future expansion.
(1) Investigating societal and critical challenges
(2) Exploring new forms of strategizing and organizing
(3) Discovering new geographic contexts
(4) Developing connections and dialogues with other research streams
Our aim for this OSSW and the connected Special Issue Call for Papers in Organization Studies is to inspire exemplary studies that showcase how SOAP can be used to explore new and challenging issues that the world is facing. These studies will delve into contemporary phenomena, intersect with other research streams, and harness innovative methodologies.
The deadline to submit a 2-page abstract for participation is December 2nd.

We look forward to seeing you soon in Crete
