Führung und Management (German Edition)

For the Alexander von Humboldt Lectures every year a number of scientists are invited to Nijmegen for a period of about one week, to give lectures on selected themes relevant for the current debates within Human Geography and to discuss theoretical and practical issues with the members of the department and with a broader audience. In his talk with the title "Applied sciences as productive misunderstandings" David Seidl addressed the criticism on the lack of relevant knowledge within social sciences in general and management studies in specific.

We would like to invite you to watch his talk online here. We are looking for a master student to support our bachelor lecture change management.

This year's topic is "Next Society's Systems Theory" and is aimed at young scholars interested in Niklas Luhmann 's social systems theory as well as its further development. The course is split into five days each featured by a different scholar or scholars: As the number of seminar participants is limited we encourage you to register no later than 31st March.

For more detailed information please have a look at the flyer. We say "thank you" to everybody, who has been involved and helped us making it happen! We are proud and honored at once to announce that David Seidl and his team won the third price for best teaching within the Faculty of Economics, Business Administration and Information Technology. The award, which is annually granted, is the result of a lot of work we invested into permanently improving our course BWL II in specific and the rest of our courses and seminars in general.

This year's Christmas Dinner took place at three different places. We started at Katharina Dittrich's place for the aperitif, for the main dish we went to Felix Langenmayr's place and last but not least we went to Violetta Splitter's place for dessert and drinks. As you might can see we had a lot of fun! How do people with divergent views manage to live together? Central to this stream of research are the concepts of conventions, orders of worth, tests and justification that have a great potential to advance several lines of inquiry in organizational theory.

The Economies of Worth model has recently been extended and developed to analyze the emergence of environmentalism, the dynamics of capitalism and the possibility to build a pragmatic sociology of critique. These extensions will be briefly presented, as well as several applications of the odel to organization and management theory. Yesterday, Marcel Megerle a consultant of the WeissmanGruppe and an expert on strategy, leadership and succession planning of family businesses visited our seminar on family business.

During his talk in the bachelor seminar, organized by Violetta Splitter and Katharina Dittrich , he provided impressive examples of how leadership and succession at family business work - and sometimes don't work. His experiences illustrated nicely the clash of the emotional system of the family and the rational system of the firm, with which family businesses have to deal professionally. We would like to introduce to you our new student assistants Alice Hengevoss right and Johanna Stephan left.

Both are working for our chair since the beginning of this semester. Alice studies economics in her seventh semester and is especially interested in behavioral economics and business ethics. Next to her studies she is volunteering for the aid project "Children's Garden Home and School" in Kenya. Johanna studies cultural analysis major as well as administrative science and gender studies minor.

She is now in her third semester of her master studies and is especially interested in management cultures as well as organizational culture. Next to her studies she is part of the editorial board of Bozzetto , a magazine for arts and culture. We wish both an interesting and exciting time at our chair! The Strotz AG is a years old family business and the leading producer of umbrellas in Switzerland. Together with Violetta Splitter and Katharina Dittrich , 16 bachelor students of our family business seminar visited the Strotz AG in Uznach and were able to gain interesting and deep insights into the Strotz family, the business of producing umbrellas and how Edgar Strotz 4th generation and Roman Strotz 5th generation are able to combine family and business.

From October 13th to 15th twenty-one PhD students from a range of different disciplines and Universities came together to discuss their work. The top scholars also shared their experiences in publishing and their personal views on what's hot in management research, how to manage an academic career and how to balance it with family and friends. In addition, there was ample time for networking during coffee breaks, lunches and a Swiss fondue.

We thank the University of Zuich, the top scholars and all participants for making this a successful and inspiring event. Our Researcher in Residence Katarina Sikavica published a newspaper article on ownership structure and say-on-pay in Swiss firms. Instead, if anything at all, we may expect a higher pay-performance-sensitivity along with occasional mobilization of minority shareholders and other stakeholders.

The article has been published in " Finanz und Wirtschaft " and refers to the current debate in Switzerland on the height of top management payments. The full article is available here. During the past 12 years Marianna has worked in leading roles in listed Finnish companies, until she decided to relocate with her family to Switzerland in February and to take a break from the corporate life to complete her PhD studies.

During the time at our Chair, Marianna will work on the data collection for her dissertation on creating value through procurement: We wish all students a good start to the upcoming autumn term ! We hope you all have a fruitful and successful semester and are looking forward to meet some of you in one of our seminars or lectures!

Our colleague Maike Dreuth , who still lives in Bern , organized a boat trip on the river Aare. We started at Thun and then went down the river to Bern where our strategy workshop took place. It is always a fruitful time together with the whole team in order to discuss recent and upcoming topics for which we do not find the time during the daily work.

For more pictures of our boat trip please click here. In Sikavica's article with the title "Paradise Sold: Resource Partitioning and the Organic Movement in the US Farming Industry" the authors offer an answer to the question of how and when markets may partition in a stable way: Moreover we are glad to announce the following recently published or forthcoming papers:.

Our team presented their present research at the different sub-themes and got fruitful feedbacks for further improvements. To see your grade please click here. We offer exam check on Friday, July 12th and Monday, July 15th: We offer two exam checks on Sept 23rd and Sept 26th both between During her research stay, she is affiliated with Ann Langley and Linda Rouleau , who support her project on strategy education. It is a great opportunity for her to have an extensive exchange with other researchers and to discuss her project within this inspiring environment. The focus of the conference was on complex, multi-stakeholder settings which feature high levels of ambiguity, non-linearity, uncertainty and interdependence and asked whether new approaches to strategy and strategic management are required to deal with such settings.

On the photo you could see our conference delegation together with the two conference program co-chairs Robert MacIntosh and Donald MacLean. Do you find the Scots? To foster collaboration with our team, Paul on the photo next to David presented his current working paper "What are you talking about? In addition, Paul investigates the role of artefacts in strategizing activities, such as strategy tools or spreadsheets. We wish him a great time at our chair! We offer an interesting and challenging master thesis in cooperation with Ringier AG.

Since the digitalization of media content the media industry in general and the print media sector in specific struggle with the monetization of new media content.

From today on Katarina Sikavica is our new researcher in residence. Kate is passionate about the notion of ownership in organizations. Beyond shareholdings and property rights, she wants to understand the cognitions and emotions underlying ownership of organizations and investigates the implications thereof for organizational members' behavior. Her research cuts across organizational layers to include investors, managers, and employees. This weekend our chair participated at the famous "SOLA Stafette" , which takes place every year in and around Zurich. It is an annual sports event and consists of 14 sections over a total distance of kilometers.

More than teams with around 12' runners participated this year. Our team with the name "Duracell Bunnies" achieved rang with an average speed of 5: We had a great time and are looking forward to the next SOLA in ! For more pics click here. The project focuses on three basic questions: Do we have gender differences in the research conditions at the UZH? Do we have gender differences in the social network behavior; and 3.

If differences in research conditions and social network behavior appear, are we able to explain the differences in conditions with the help of gender-specific network behavior? The results have the aim to evaluate former gender equality measures and if necessary help to improve them.

The project is part of the — action plans. Since August he is at Stanford and works on research projects related to organizational deviance and institutions, spaces of institutional work as well organizational routines. We are already looking forward to welcome him in Zurich this summer and wish him and his family a sunny and fruitful remaining stay in California! Today Martin Kornberger Copenhagen Business School , Denmark visited our chair to give a talk on strategy as performative practice. Within in his talk he focused on the relation between strategy-as-practice and its power effects in the context of the strategy project "Sustainable Sydney " executed by the City of Sydney.

Moreover he introduced us into topics like city-planning, new public management and the notion of performativity. We wish him a pleasant stay in Switzerland and thank him for his exciting talk!

Professor David Seidl and Team

We welcome our new team member Maike Dreuth! Maike just started in the beginning of March as research associate and PhD candidate at our chair. Maike holds a Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Fribourg and received a Master's degree in industrial and organizational psychology from the University of Bern. In her master thesis Maike analyzed patient handovers at an hospital's emergency care unit with the help of qualitative as well as quantitative methods.



Within her PhD project she explores the role of meetings in the strategy process of organizations. We wish her all the best for her project and a fruitful and exciting time at our chair! This seminar was part of our distinguished scholars seminar series and designed to introduce us to the theory of power and resistance in general as well as in the context of organizations.

As power and resistance is a fruitful and broad concept all of us greatly benefited from this seminar. This project begins with the observation that there has been recent interest in conceptualizing institutional work as a collective phenomenon involving distributed agency. If institutional work — defined as the practices and activities related to creating, maintaining and disrupting institutions — involves spatially dispersed agents having access to different resources, the issue of where, how and with whom such work is performed is crucial since actors who may not have the legitimacy or the resources to operate in all settings at all times may be motivated to collaborate with others who can intervene in settings which would otherwise be difficult to access.

These collaborations and activities occur in spaces of institutional work. In this research project we intend to examine where, how and with whom actors work in order to shape regulative and normative institutions. We will develop an in-depth longitudinal case-study with embedded unit of analysis. We are glad that this research project got subsidized by the SNF. This years "Winter Magic Mountain" - our so called strategy workshop - took place in the Berner Oberland. Within these three days we discussed research and administrative related topics concerning our team.

In between we enjoyed the great skiing possibilities. This week Karen Golden-Biddle Boston University School of Management visited our chair and introduced us to the theory and craft of writing work that is based on qualitative data. The seminar was conducted as a "studio" in which we used our time together to collectively examine and experiment with what is involved in academic writing and to give feedback on our own texts and questions. Therefore the course has been divided in class sessions and writing consults.

Bo has been part of our team since the founding of the chair in Since then he has done an excellent job and we are really sorry to let him go. We wish all students a good start to the upcoming spring term ! Enjoy the semester and the hopefully upcoming spring!!! We offer two exam checks on Feb. If you want to have a look at your exam please send an email to Felix Langenmayr before Feb. Last Monday we had our first paper party in Together with Andreas Scherer and his team as well as Dominik van Aaken from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich we celebrated a number of recently published or forthcoming papers:.

We are looking forward to an exciting and successful and hope there will be some more paper parties! Looking for 4 tutors for our assessment lecture. We are currently looking for 4 highly motivated engaged tutors for our BWL II assessment lecture taking place in spring The tutors will support us with the OLAT forum, work with multiple choice questions and help with lecture materials. We had a great with many highlights like conferences in Helsinki or Boston, great seminars and lectures, awesome guests and student events.

We say "thank you" to everybody, who was involved and helped us making it happen! His seminar was part of our internal PhD colloquium and provided a general review of social movement research in the context of organizations and markets. Moreover Weber presented parts of his own research on social movements. In the afternoon some of us had the great opportunity to discuss with him their own research projects in order to get some inspiring comments. Thanks for coming and we wish him a great time here in Switzerland! This week our PhD Colloquium took place, within which all participating PhD students present their current research projects, as well as discuss additional papers.

We mainly focused our readings and discussion on papers referring to sociomateriality and practice theory. The colloquium took three whole days and in order to revitalise in between one paper session was organized as a so called "talk walk". The idea is that talking-while-walking enhances thinking in ways not attainable behind a desk or in a seminar sitting down. Typically you decide on a topic and potentially some reading before the seminar and then go for a walk in pairs or threes and talk about it. The groups switches every 15 or 20 minutes so you get to talk to different people e.

The feedback was throughout positive and insofar we could highly recommend this way of refreshing discussions! Practice theories constitute, in fact, a rather broad family of theoretical approaches connected by a web of historical and conceptual similarities. Accordingly while practice theories can offer a radically new way of understanding and explaining social and organizational phenomena, they can only be approached as a plurality.

Accordingly during the sessions we discussed three different ways to approach phenomena from a practice-based perspective: We very much appreciate his visit and his comments on our individual research projects! In his hands-on workshop we discovered the concept of competitive advantages and the role of designed social negotiation in strategy making. The workshop illustrated the power of a group support system in making strategy. Colin Eden is the author of 11 books and over peer reviewed articles in the field of strategic management, management science, problem structuring, group decision and negotiation, managerial and organisational cognition, collaboration, and project management.

During her research stay, she is affiliated with Richard Whittington and works primarily on her data analysis. It is a great opportunity for her to have an extensive exchange with other researchers and to discuss her findings within this inspiring environment. We wish her a great time at the oldest university in the English-speaking world. This years Magic Mountain - our so called strategy meeting, which takes place once a semester - took place at the Spitzingsee Bavaria.

We spend two days at the "Blecksteinhaus" , which is a nice little cabin in the middle of the beautiful bavarian alps. Within these two days we discussed our current projects and future aims as well upcoming tasks. In return for these two intensive working days we visited the "Wiesn" "Oktoberfest" in Munich, which is taking place at the moment.

Once again it was a fruitful strategy meeting and a great time with the whole team! This week Martha S. Feldman University of California, Irvine visited our chair to hold a seminar on qualitative data analysis. The workshop was designed to introduce Ph. The students learned using the analysis as a way not only to validate findings, but also to support creativity and imaginative theorizing.

The course was split into a seminar session in which the students discussed the different ways of analysing qualitative data and a "hands on" session in which the students used different techniques to discover features of their individual projects. We really appreciated this great opportunity to dig deeper into our data and say: We are proud of their achievement and wish them all the best for their future challenges! For more information please read the article. Pondy best paper award. Based on a longitudinal case study approach, this paper shows that the legitimation processes of technology diffusion in regulated environments is subjected to distinct power struggles manifested in different framing contests.

We wish him all the best for his nomination and are looking forward to the final results! Moreover our team had a great time in Boston and had been responsible for about ten presentations and talks at the conference. The symposium presents recent research discussing the prospects and challenges of attempts at making strategy research more relevant to management practice.

We are looking forward to this great possibility of exchange!
