Dear Colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting)
For those interested in rethinking some basics of management theory through a humanistic lens we wish to call your attention to three concurrent special issues linked to a conference, Oct 8-10, in Tuebingen Germany (Global Ethic Institute).
1) 1) Conceptualizing Humanistic Management as an alternative to managing in a post-crisis world. (Human Systems Management)
The first special issue is the broadest one allowing for general perspectives on re-conceptualizing management theory (post crises). It will be a special issue in Human Systems Management. More details here: http://www.iospress.nl/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/HSM-Special-Issue_v5.pdf

2) 2) The role of human dignity and well-being in management theory- rom human rights to human responsibilities (Journal of Business Ethics)
The second special issue is focusing on two humanistic precepts: dignity and well-being. We invite all scholars that are interested and able to draw on these concepts to present theoretical, conceptual and possibly empirical consequences for management theory. It will be a special issue in Journal of Business Ethics. More details see attached:
