    Overview

    The purpose of this special issue is to collect and promote research that examines forms of organized immaturity in contemporary society. The phenomenon of organized immaturity is a manifestation of a human condition that results from the erosion of the autonomy of the individual and is advanced by socio-technological systems and their surveillance and control mechanisms. We seek conceptual, normative, or empirical studies that identify, analyze, and critique current technical and social sources of organized immaturity and develop solutions for resisting new forms of surveillance and control. In line with the disciplinary and thematic scope of BEQ, we invite authors to consider the role of (business) organizations and organizing in both control and emancipation of the individual in business and society, and to analyze possible ethical implications.

    BEQ Special Issue Virtual Paper Development Workshop on November 11-12, 2020


    The Guest Editors will host a Virtual Paper Development Workshop (to be held via Zoom) that is designed to provide developmental guidance for potential submissions to the Special Issue. Participation in this workshop is optional and is not a pre-condition for submission to, nor does it guarantee acceptance in, the Special Issue. The workshop will be held in virtual form in order to promote sustainability and equality of opportunity to participate. The workshop will consist of two parts: (1) We host a one-hour virtual plenary session with an introduction to the thematic focus and idea of the special issue as well as a Q&A regarding the submission and review process. (2) The workshop includes small roundtable sessions that will bring together paper authors with the guest editors and/or other expert scholars for in-depth feedback and advice. The virtual workshop is scheduled for 11-12 November, 2020. The time corridors for the virtual workshop are on 11 November, from 2pm to 6pm, and on 12 November, from 8am to 12pm (Central European Time). We aim to accommodate scholars from different time zones, and will allocate the timeslots accordingly.


    For participation in the virtual workshop please send your proposal or extended abstract by 15 September 2020 to
    organizedimmaturity@gmail.com The word limit for manuscript proposals is 3,000 words (incl. references). The guest co-editors will decide on the inclusion of the proposals in the workshop (based on fit with the Special Issue topic, potential, and originality of the contribution) and will inform the authors by mid-October 2020.
