Dear Colleague,
The Talking About Organizations Podcast is excited to announce this unique, one-day interdisciplinary symposium on the forms and effects of management in the contemporary sharing/gig economy. Blending individual and panel presentations from leading scholars and commentators with group conversations, we will critically examine the continuities – as well as disruptions - in the ways that work is organized through, and in light of, online platforms such as uber, deliveroo, upwork.
In particular, we aim to advance our understanding of the sharing economy, with specific attention to its relation to the classics in management and organizational scholarship; and to explore methods suitable to grasp the sharing economy as an object of inquiry.
Confirmed speakers include:
Prof Natalia Levina (NYU) | Dr Mareike Möhlmann (WBS)
Dr Greetje Corporaal (University of Oxford) | Ms Arianna Tassinari (WBS)
Ms Sarah O' Connor (Financial Times) | Dr Rebecca Prentice (Sussex)
