LATIN AMERICA – EUROPE MEETING ON ORGANIZATIONAL
STUDIES
SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONS:
MATCHING INDIVIDUALISM AND FLEXIBILITY WITH
TRUST AND SOLIDARITY?
Organizations are specific social configurations.
As such their existence and their properties make a difference in
terms of effectiveness and, more broadly speaking, action taking.
One often hears today that contemporary
organisations around the world are facing a practical dilemma: to
become more opportunistic and agile while, at the same time, their
members should share a common framework made of commitment and
collective identity. Organization studies have a long experience of
such apparent contradictory requirements. For instance is it possible,
and, if so, how to reconcile order and action, inner cohesion and
sensitivity to societal contexts, stability and chaos, efficiency and
effectiveness?
The meeting shall give an opportunity to explore in
depth two types of contradictory requirements and management doctrines
which are not very often explored: individualism and flexibility on
one side, trust and cohesion on the other side. Which ones if any
really are key factors for organizational policies and achievements?
How to reconcile them? Are they just pure cultural issues or are they
induced by local practices and opportunistic arrangements?
Broader concerns to be explored around such topics
deal with questions such as the robustness and the relevance of the
discourse postulating that currently, across continents and between
social strata, a universal set of values is emerging though which
different societies and cultures communicate. Decentralization,
rational choice and principal-agent relationships seem to be key
concepts. However, one question remains open: how to maintain and
increase social capital, this "cement of organization".

Latin America-Europe Meeting on Organizational Studies
(LAEMOS).
"Successful Organizations: Matching Individualism and
Flexibility with Trust and Solidarity"
European Group of Organizational Studies (EGOS) and
the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) are
sponsoring the first Latin America-Europe Meeting on Organizational
Studies (LAEMOS), in Puebla, México in January 2006 (11th,
12th and 13th). This meeting is an important
effort to enhance the European and Latin American research work on
organizational studies, and this will take place under the general
theme: "Successful Organizations: Individualism and Flexibility
with Trust and Solidarity". This event must provide high quality
academic work relating to organizational studies from and within
Europe and Latin America.
Topics
This call is for papers that engage with the field
of organizational studies of and in the European and Latin America
region. Papers are invited that include reflection on and engagement
in areas including (but not limited to):

- Non-governmental organisations
- Comparative studies of organisations
- Flexibility and change
