Increasingly, owning resources appears to be less<br \/>\nrelevant to contemporary organisations than having access to resourceful networks.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses need to consider the interplay between local activities in regional clusters and those embedded in global value chains in turbulent times. Their various value creation activities may follow<br \/>\ndifferent organisational principles \u2013 exchange modes vary between market, hierarchy and cooperative governance forms. The notion of cultivating and accessing resourceful networks thus is significant. Business activities extend beyond the focal firm and into a dynamic relational space which connects stakeholders, other firms and industry participants in changing ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>The organisers of the research symposium have the aim to bring together researchers from diverse<br \/>\nbackgrounds to share knowledge and insights into the topic of networks in changing business<br \/>\nenvironments. Building on this interdisciplinary exchange we seek to establish a broad cooperative<br \/>\nresearch agenda about the contemporary role of businesses in an increasingly networked world.<\/p>\n<p>INVITATION TO ATTEND<br \/>\nThe symposium is primarily held in-person in Hamburg (Germany). However, we also offer the<br \/>\npossibility to join online. Hence, the symposium will be in a hybrid-mode.<\/p>\n<p>INVITED TOPICS<br \/>\nWe are interested in developing knowledge about the role of relational resources in a networked<br \/>\nenvironment within changing business ecosystems.<br \/>\nWe invite papers from a wide range of multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches in the following topic areas:<\/p>\n<p>Ecosystems and transformation<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ecosystems in regenerative economies<br \/>\n&#8211; Sustainability-oriented strategies<br \/>\n&#8211; Stakeholder engagement in ecosystems<br \/>\n&#8211; Challenge-led innovation<br \/>\n&#8211; Regional resources\/locational advantage<br \/>\n&#8211; Resilience in ecosystems, networks &amp; value chains<br \/>\n&#8211; Entrepreneurship in regional networks<\/p>\n<p>ORGANISATIONAL MATTERS<br \/>\nThe symposium will be a combination of keynote<br \/>\nspeeches, paper presentations and highly<br \/>\ninteractive sessions. We strive for an informal set-up<br \/>\nand a lot of interaction. There is no fee for<br \/>\nparticipation but it is expected participants pay for<br \/>\ntheir transport, accommodation and meals during<br \/>\nthe conference.<\/p>\n<p>ORGANISING TEAM<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Professor\">Prof.<\/abbr> Wenzel Matiaske, <abbr title=\"Helmut Schmidt Universit\u00e4t\">HSU<\/abbr>, Germany<br \/>\nA\/<abbr title=\"Professor\">Prof.<\/abbr> Susanne Gretzinger, SDU, Denmark<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Professor\">Prof.<\/abbr> Susanne Royer, EUF, Germany<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Professor\">Prof.<\/abbr> Kerry Brown, Edith Cowan Uni, Australia<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Professor\">Prof.<\/abbr> John Burgess, Torrens University, Australia<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Doktor\">Dr.<\/abbr> Nils Grashof, FSU Jena, Germany<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Doktor\">Dr.<\/abbr> Sidsel Grimstad, Griffith University, Australia<br \/>\nA\/<abbr title=\"Professor\">Prof.<\/abbr> Mads Bruun Ingstrup, SDU, Denmark<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bbNetworks in changing business ecosystems\u00ab SYMPOSIUM THEME Understanding how firms and other stakeholders cooperate and exploit networked resources is the core agenda of this research symposium.
