CFP: “Information Ecosystems” at AHMO

The 24th Colloquium in the History of Management and Organizations, organized by the French Association for the History of Management and Organizations (AHMO) and the Université Côte d’Azur - EDHEC Business School, and MSHS Sud-Est, will convene March 27-29, 2019, in Nice, France. The topic will be "Information Ecosystems." According to the organizers, the Colloquium "aims to generate a historical perspective to our understanding of the use of these different forms of information in organizations." Papers are particularly welcome on four subthemes:
  • The evolution of the use of information for organisations
  • The history of scientific knowledge and its diffusion in management and organisation studies 
  • The account of information as an intangible asset in organisations 
  • Digital transformation and new forms of value for information 
Short papers (3000 words), written either in English or French, should be submitted no later than December 14, 2018, to jhmo2019@gmail.com. The keynote speaker for the meeting will be James W. Cortada.

The Colloquium will start with a doctoral workshop on March 27 at EDHEC Business School, which provides students an opportunity to discuss dissertation proposals, literature reviews, research designs and career opportunities in business history. Ph.D. students who seek to present their work should send a ten-page document presenting research area (theme, research questions), theoretical framework, methodology, first results, and main bibliographical references. First- or second-year Ph.D. students or Ph.D. students incorporating a historical dimension in their dissertation in management are strongly encouraged to apply.

Digital Collection: Princeton Exhibit of Subway Posters

The posters, designed by the public relations firm Ivy Lee, were displayed in subway cars to provide information to riders about changes in fares and routes, safety issues, and other matters of interest.  The collection consists of 385 images dating from 1918 to 1932; many of them provide financial information about rates, company dividends, and a general look at an early rapid transit system.
