Innovation – Organizational History Network

Dear colleagues,

the DATAREV project team is hiring a new Postdoc to work on accounting as innovation in European agriculture. This position could be of interest for you or you may know someone interested.

It is a one year position (possibly renewable for one more year) at the Institute for Economic and Social History of the University of Vienna.

The DATAREV project is funded by the European Research Council and investigates accounting and book-keeping practices in agriculture. It’s an ambitious project drawing on a variety of approaches: economic history, business history, social history and the history of science and technology.

Successful applicants will work on the topic of accounting as innovation broadly defined, and will be responsible for DATAREV subproject 3 (as defined here: https://datarev.univie.ac.at/about-the-project/sub-projects/).

We welcome applications from young scholars (up to four years after their thesis defense) with a background in economic history, business history, social history and the history of science and technology (including the history of economics).

The deadline for applications is Sunday, 11th December 2022. The application package should contain: a letter of motivation, a cv including a list of publications, the name and email addresses of at least two referees and a research proposal connected with DATAREV subproject 3.

No previous knowledge of German is required.

The starting date is flexible.

You can apply here: https://univis.univie.ac.at/ausschreibungstellensuche/flow/bew_ausschreibung-flow?_flowExecutionKey=_c19D22814-DC17-6AB5-105C-D847CB05C51D_k7934684D-8E4A-9FA5-440F-3C75811BBC6C&tid=93478.28

I am pleased to share the recording of the distinguished lecture with Peter Buckley, Professor of International Business at Leeds University Business School, who talked on The Structural Reshaping of Globalization. Alain Verbeke, Professor of International Business Strategy at the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary served as a discussant. The lecture took place November 20, 2020; you can find the recording here: https://dan.uwo.ca/news/2020/dl_buckley_verbeke.html

This talk examines the role of theory, specifically internalization theory, in examining the structural reshaping of globalization. Four empirical changes in the global economy are identified.

The fracture in the global economy between the USA and China, including “the splinternet”.
“Systemic Competition” and its consequences.
Rising VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) and corporate responses.
Innovation. The theoretical response is presented by nested theories of internalization, relying on common principles and concepts.
