CfP, IGC 2012 Cologne: Management Geography – Embedding COPs in changing global urban networks

[Lech Suwala]

* With apologies for cross-posting *

Call for Papers: 32nd International Geographical Congress (IGC) 2012,
Cologne, August 26th-30th 2012 (deadline 15 December 2011)


Special SIEM-Session: Management Geography – Embedding COPs in changing
global urban networks

Session Organisers: Rolf D. Schlunze (Ritsumeikan University), Elmar Kulke
(Humboldt Universität Berlin), Lech Suwala (Humboldt Universität Berlin)

Management Geography is a relatively new approach which evolved out of
corporate geography or so called Betriebsgeographie and international
management science. Relational embeddedness of managers and communities of
practice are at the core of the discussion that constitutes a new approach
with high practical substance for economic geographers and offers a key to
real world problems of managers. This actor-centered approach is based on
locational adjustment and preferences, networking behaviour and innovation
creation practices of managers with an international horizon. In a
globalizing world geography knowledge inspires managers to pursue spatial
fragmented strategies in order to balance cooperation and competition in
different economic environments and business settings. Recent
transformations of the economic logic due to financial and technological
development processes but also to set-backs by catastrophic events caused
shifts in urban hierarchies that call for an continues adjustment in
management practices. We invite scholars to our special session on Spaces
of International Economy and Management (SIEM) to present their research
providing theoretical foundations, methodological tools and empirical
evidence. See also www.siemrg.org


Studies to be presented at the SIEM session should include one or more of
the following aspects:

a) Theorizing management practices in space by approaches related to
leadership, networking, corporate social responsibility and other
practices of entrepreneurs and managers.

b) Proposing new methodologies for investigating managerial practices and
strategies, capability and capacities of changing agents in private and
governmental organizations molding international spaces.

c) Introducing studies with empirical evidence on the spatial expansion
and community of practices (COPs) that contribute to the formation of new
emerging communities in metropolitan spaces.

d) Developing implications for local and regional government on building
international social capital that enables cities to encourage
international entrepreneurs and spur the local economy.


We invite you to present a paper in this session. Please submit an
abstract of up to 250 words to SIEM (siem2...@st.ritsumei.ac.jp) and/or
the online registration form at www.igc2012.org by 15th December 2011.

With best regards,

SIEM & Local organizers: Elmar Kulke and Lech Suwala
