The Asia Academy of Management (AAOM)—the longest-running academic association of management that focuses on Asia—is launching its inaugural Special Conference,
with an important and timely theme of “Institutional Complexities and Managerial Responses.”
Throughout Asia and beyond, institutional complexities are intensifying. Geopolitical competition is in rage. Forces of deglobalization are competing with those
of globalization. Advances of technologies are penetrating more aspects of human life. Engines of economic growth are adjusting to the new normal. Overall, institutions as the rules of the game can no longer be viewed as static and invisible. Instead, a series
of the rules of the game—ranging from national and international politics to technological standards and competition policies—are changing, and their complexities are increasing. Such institutional complexities are forcing managers and entrepreneurs to search
for innovative responses throughout Asia and beyond.
How do firms led by managers and entrepreneurs eager to grow respond to such heightened institutional complexities? This is the big
question on which we are inviting contributors to focus. Examples of possible fields from which contributors may come include:
-
Entrepreneurship and innovation
-
Human resource management
-
International business and management
-
Leadership and organizational behavior
-
Operations management and supply chain
-
Organizational neuroscience and management
-
Strategic management
-
Other fields within management and organizations—broadly defined
