CALL FOR PAPERS – Special Issue

The Journal of Management & Organization (JMO) is an international
peer-reviewed journal for timely publication of research, scholarship,
educational and practitioner perspectives on management-related themes and
topics.  It aims to provide global perspectives on management and
organization of benefit to scholars, educators, students, practitioners,
policy-makers and consultants. JMO publishes on areas that inform the
members of ANZAM and also addresses the interests of management academics
world-wide.

CALL FOR PAPERS: 

JMO is currently seeking academic papers for a Special Issue on:
“Re-conceiving the Artful in Management Development and Education”

Submitted papers should bridge the gap between academe, business, and the
arts while exploring synergies between the theory, learning, and practice
processes amongst these communities. Papers may have a theoretical,
empirical, or practical focus.

The ‘artful’ focus of the papers should reflect new understandings of the
science of artful management development theory and practice, including
teaching, learning, work-based practice, assessment and evaluation, social
responsibility, and visionary engagement in new partnerships. 

Being artful is not about arts-based quick tricks and fixes.  In the context
of this Special Issue, to be artful is to transform self through profound
learning experiences that expand human consciousness, often facilitated by
artistic processes. In management education and development this suggests a
shift from instrumental management towards a paradigm of artful creation of
managerial self, in a creative economy that also creates social innovation. 

Included below are examples of possible topic areas. Additional topics,
especially those that are focused on the artful, creative, socially engaged,
and innovative, are also welcome for submission.

§	Examination of the boundaries between scientific and creative
management theory and research
§	Artful learning models and new learning partnerships
§	Evidentiary impacts of imagination, innovation, and creativity on
management success 
§	Exploitation of the arts in management education
§	Arts-based generative learning and traditional management learning
curricula linked through derivation and integration
§	Visual and visceral scholarly teaching for transformative learning
in management education 
§	The inclusion of artists and artistic processes in approaches to
day-to-day organisational learning and individual management practice
§	Evaluating perceptions of effectiveness in artful management
education
§	Assessing artful change readiness, improvisational resilience, and
increased management task capability
§	Links between relational aesthetics, management development
practice, and community engagement
§	Artful learning’s impact on a learning organisation’s structure and
social routine
§	Artful learning cultures as scaffolds for internal/external
organisational human engagement and civic responsibility
§	Embodied vs cognitive management development theories
§	Exploring the authentic self through assessment and evaluation
§	Focusing on visionary relationships, emotions and behaviour in an
era of efficiency
