Call for papers:
Businesses and organisations throughout the world have to address the issue of integrating fast-growing Generation Y populations who may be at work till the age of 67-70 into workforces
led and managed by people with much different (often more traditional cultural) life experiences, yet are facing the challenges of employing a workforce that is ageing in a world that is ageing. Concerns of company leaders and managers in the western world
have shifted from considering options for their own and their employees’ “early retirement” to the issue of what age they will eventually be able to retire at. Many global and globalising leaders and managers are simultaneously addressing both of these issues
which present challenges for managers and the organisation, for career management, pensions, technological forecasting and innovation, public policy, education and training. This makes it timely and appropriate to gather both the research and experiences
of academics and professional practitioners in this domain.
As its societies age the world is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and the impact of this will ripple through all sectors of the global economy. In the West, leadership and
management of an increasingly ageing workforce will pose new challenges for managers, management education and to the pace, structures and working practices of their organisations. There has been little or no substantive research on the impact of these demographic
changes on the practice of management and the implications for the next generation of its leaders and managers.
Simultaneously, emerging countries (led by, but not limited to, the BRIC economies), are undergoing rapid industrialisation and modernisation. These efforts have been, and mostly
continue to be, led and managed by generational cohorts with little or no histories (or training) within their own countries of company leadership and management development. Younger people (sometimes called Generation Y, and born in the late 70’s and early
80’s) are increasingly also entering emerging and developing country workforces with different expectations and assumptions than those of the people leading and managing them. There is little substantive research on (optimising) the effectiveness and of cross-generational
working in companies within emerging economies.
Finally, there is, to date, a dearth of research on how MNCs and globalising companies are leading and managing simultaneously the challenges posed by social and technological change
and by the different changing demographics in developed, emerging and developing country environments.
The timing of AIRC3 aims to address this range of research deficiencies, to lay the groundwork for the development of theory, as well as to offer practical advice and approaches.
