Call for papers Special issue on “Theoretical Advancements in Business: Past, Present, and Future”

Guest Editors Dr. Abhishek Behl, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India ([email protected]) Dr. Manish Gupta, IBS Hyderabad, a Constituent of IFHE, Deemed to be University ([email protected]) Dr. Angappa Gunasekaran, California State University, USA ([email protected]) Dr. Zongwei Luo, South University of Science and Technology, China ([email protected]) Business Management literature has been stretched and expanded from every possible direction in the past few decades. What was once known as a luxury to firms has now become a necessity. Academic and practicing scholars and researchers have also contributed in the growth of business management literature (Eisenhardt and Graebner, 2007; Lewis and Grimes, 1999). However, as the research evolves it is important to periodically take stock and reflect on how its core theoretical ideas are developing and be open to radical innovations in businesses. It also calls for seeking answers to some key research questions (Mollah, 2019; Shepherd and Suddaby, 2017; Zahra, 2007; Wacker, 1998): 1. Is there a need to revise the existing theoretical paradigms? If yes, will that happen with adding to the existing body of knowledge or by deleting some key core components? 2. Does business management literature requires interdisciplinary theories to explain businesses better? 3. Like technology, have business management theories also initiated disruption? For two reasons, now is a particularly opportune time for business management field to take stock of its theoretical progress and develop next-generation theories (Gustafsson et al., 2016; Meredith, 1993). First, business management has evolved from a physical store business to a virtual and digital store market which has attracted each and everyone thereby making them digital natives or as businesses say- digital customers. The transformation has redefined the boundaries of how individuals, organizations and market interact with each other. This draws the attention of management theorists to understand the transformation and intrigue thoughts on the phenomenological changes businesses have gone through. Scholars tend to marginally add to existing theories, most of which were coined when businesses were mostly offline in nature and theory focused research was also evolving (Corley and Gioia, 2011; Hazlett et al., 2005). With passage of time and flow of data, businesses have become intelligent, interconnected and most importantly insanely mature which calls for revisiting old theories in lieu of these advancements. The changing times therefore demands next generation theorists to offer fresh perspectives to the existing knowledge of business. Second, the inflow of data has flooded businesses with trends and patterns of behaviour of individuals which pushes management scholars to explore opportunities to modify and revamp theories to suit the current business needs. With data, there also comes responsibilities to be ethical in its use and more importantly to comprehend the essence of it to draw meaningful information. The growing literature in various streams of business also challenges the existing categories of research viz. interpretive, positivist, experimental design, longitudinal studies, panel data etc. and uses a combination of these research philosophies to explain business phenomenon better. Therefore, for both these reasons the Special Issue aims to call for research papers to understand the changing paradigm of theory in business research. The special issues aims to invite papers with a focus primarily on the list of themes mentioned below, and are also encouraged to propose unique contributions in the body of knowledge of theory building and theory extension and more predominantly borrowing of theory from interdisciplinary areas. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to: 1. Marketing and its sub themes 2. Human Resource Management and its sub themes 3. Operations Management and its sub themes 4. Finance and its sub themes 5. Accounting and its sub themes 6. Innovation and its sub themes 7. Information Technology and its sub themes 8. Economics and its sub themes 9. Strategy and its sub themes 10. Business Ethics and its sub themes 11. International business and its sub themes 12. Entrepreneurship and its sub themes We also invite business researchers from different domains and specializations to submit their study in any one area or an interdisciplinary area catering to the theme of the Special Issue.
