The European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster) is one of the most important associations of management scholars to advance organization theoretical knowledge. EGOS members and the association’s main journal, Organization Studies, have been shaping the direction of management studies for decades. EGOS also closely collaborates with leading academic communities outside of Europe such as the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) Division of the Academy of Management (AOM) or the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE).

In July, Elke Schüßler was voted into the Executive Board of EGOS. In the role of Vice Chair, she will be inspiring and leading a community of 2,500 members that represent 66 countries from all over the world together with the new chair Bernard Forgues from EMLYON Business School. Previous holders of these positions came from Copenhagen Business School and Vienna University of Economics and Business, among others. This esteemed leadership role adds to further ongoing community leadership activities of Elke Schüßler, who is also co-initiator of the new "Digital Economy" research network of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics, in the JKU BUS competence areas “Digital Transformation” and “Sustainable Development: Responsible Technologies & Management”.
