Deadline for submissions: 5 September 2022
Organized by Maastricht School of Management and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Dutch Research Council, Taskforce for Applied Sciences SIA and the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies.
Keynote presentation
Prof. Charlene Zietsma (Smeal College of Business, PennState University) will give a keynote presentation on the interplay between inter-organizational (multi-stakeholder) collaborations and issue fields.
Panel discussion
A panel including Prof. Barbara Gray, Prof. Bobby Banerjee and Dr. Rashedur Chowdhury will discuss future directions of research on multi-stakeholder collaboration for sustainability.
The overarching conference theme is the collaborative nature of addressing grand challenges, and in particular sustainability and circularity transitions (Ferraro et al., 2015; George et al., 2016). One focus within that theme will be the role that orchestrators (also referred to as conveners, brokers or interveners) play in advancing these transitions by launching and governing multi-stakeholder collaborations (Dorado & Vaz, 2003; Gray & Purdy, 2018; Paquin & Howard-Grenville, 2013; Stadtler & Probst, 2012). Organizing and mobilizing diverse stakeholders in inter-organizational collaborations is however fraught with tensions and challenges (Ansell & Gash, 2007; Bowen et al., 2018; Van Hille et al., 2019) and we invite scholars to submit papers that explore these challenges and how these are governed. Another focus of the conference is on the legitimacy of multi-stakeholder collaborations and how it is established and attributed among various internal and external stakeholders (Rueede & Kreutzer, 2015; Schouten & Glasbergen, 2011). Furthermore, we invite papers that explore the empirical phenomenon of multi-stakeholder collaborations, looking at how they emerge, intersect, compete, or persist to create collaborative value and societal impact (Alamgir & Banerjee, 2019; Buchanan et al., 2022; DiVito et al., 2021; Van Tulder et al., 2016).
More generally, we invite scholars working on cross-sector partnerships, collaborative networks, multi-stakeholder initiatives or innovation platforms that address grand challenges, sustainability, and circularity to submit papers. We welcome submissions that view partnerships and collaborative networks from various perspectives, such as strategic management, innovation systems, organizational theory or public administration.
