Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organizations routinely face challenges both to existing operations as well as the need to innovate and stay relevant in their market. This constant state of change impacts the business as usual or exploitation of current capabilities as well as their exploration of new opportunities. Technologies provide new opportunities, such as the ability to gather, analyze, and make sense of broad sets of data with big data analytics (BDA) as well as respond more effectively through optimization processes.
The external environment that businesses face is undergoing rapid changes. The changes represent both threats and opportunities, resulting in businesses requiring more effective crisis management to address emerging threats and innovations to manage opportunities.
Theories and technologies have been used from other areas to help managers to understand how to better manage changes in the organization as they adapt to crises or new opportunities.
This Special Issue is dedicated to new perspectives and approaches to managing change, through either crisis or innovation.
Subjects that will be discussed in this Special Issue will focus on empirical research on innovation and crisis, conceptual papers, as well as the development of new approaches for managing innovation and crisis, and case studies. All methodologies are welcome.
