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.
Papers submitted for this issue are invited 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 the 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 the managerial self, in a creative economy that also creates social innovation.
Included below are examples of possible topic areas. Additional topics, especially those focusing on the artful, creative, socially engaged, and innovative, are also welcome.
