Track description

The 'Management History, Theory, and Philosophy' track addresses the historical and philosophical foundations and challenges of management and organization theory and practice, as well as the application and evolution of historical research methods. Knowledge of these foundations and challenges is vital for interpreting trends, developing creative management solutions to persistent organizational problems, overcoming intellectual lockdowns, and shaping the futures of our disciplines. This track aims to encourage theoretically oriented social science history and its methods, establishing a clear relationship with present-day debates and practices in the management discipline. We seek contributions that fall into the following categories:

• Historical analyses of management concepts, theories, and practices.
• Philosophical and theoretical explorations of management foundations.
• Contributions that revisit or propose new directions in management research.
• Interdisciplinary studies that link historical, theoretical, and philosophical perspectives to contemporary management issues.
