Call for papers: "Transforming Management Systems for Innovation, Development and Governance"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Business and Globalisation.

This special issue aims to encourage scholars to question existing paradigms and practices in management systems and to bridge the gaps in innovative ideas, new models and systems for institutions with suggestions for competencies development. The issue’s goal is to open an interesting and fruitful dialogue on the most pertinent issues in management and economics, and to stimulate a sustainable view of competitiveness.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference of the Nepalese Academy of Management, but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Research on cross-cultural management, entrepreneurship and innovation, business model innovation, management and sustainable development in emerging economies
• International business, regional blocs, regional trade efficiencies, inter- and intra-regional academic discourse, and regionalism in business management
• Top management team and business ethics, theory and practices in family business, transforming social networks into value chains through business models
• Strategic processes, practices, and implementation, competitive dynamics, crisis and emergency management, comparative capitalism and institutional comparisons across countries.
• Leadership for organisational change, responsible management, global talent management, organisational learning and knowledge management, and production-operation management
• Behavioural perspectives on corporate governance, transparency and accountability, management information systems, employee commitment and civil society, social movement and community contribution for effectiveness and accountability
• Competitiveness and strategic advantages, decent work conditions, labour relations, formal and informal business and the role of not-for-profit organisations in development and innovation management
