Management Classics | Workshop

Today, a va­rie­ty of em­pi­ri­cal and con­cep­tu­al pa­pers in ma­nage­ment and or­ga­niza­t­i­on re­se­arch still build more or less ex­pli­cit­ly on es­ta­blis­hed ‘ma­nage­ment clas­sics’ in the Car­ne­gie tra­di­ti­on (Simon, 1947; March & Simon, 1958; Cyert & march, 1963).
The purpose of this workshop is twofold. First, to unite PhD students and early career academics with more senior scholars that integrate these management classics into their research. Second, to foster joint reading, understanding, and integration of the foundational works in the Carnegie School tradition. Workshop participants will engage in discussions to establish connections between ‘management classics’ and state-of-the-art publications and to set the stage for innovative, novel research questions. The workshop will finish with a video conference with Prof. Jim March.

The workshop is jointly organized in a collaborative effort by the Zeppelin University, University of St. Gallen and University of Zurich.
