The post Scopus Journal call for paper: Circuit World (Next-Generation Smart Grids: AI, Power Electronics, and Resilience​ ) appeared first on KnowledgeSteez.

A growing body of literature highlights digital transformation as a central driver of organizational adaptation, emphasizing its implications for strategy, governance, and organizational design (Hanelt et al., 2021; Cuel et al., 2024). At the same time, sustainability imperatives and ESG‑related pressures have intensified, increasing the relevance of responsible management practices and the need to address broader societal expectations (Barbosa et al., 2023). In this context, organizational legitimacy, trust, and stakeholder relationships have emerged as critical resources that enable organizations to secure social acceptance and sustain long‑term performance (Blanco‑González et al., 2025).

Recent studies further underline that responsible management is closely linked to human and social outcomes within organizations. Beyond financial and environmental considerations, attention has increasingly turned to employee well‑being and the quality of work environments as key dimensions of sustainable organizational performance. Evidence suggests that corporate social responsibility, when strategically managed, plays a significant role in enhancing employees’ mental well‑being through the development of social and psychological capital, reinforcing both organizational resilience and social legitimacy (Cachón‑Rodríguez et al., 2025).

Despite these advances, existing research remains fragmented across domains such as management, marketing, entrepreneurship, sustainability, finance, and management‑related education. This fragmentation limits cumulative understanding of how these dimensions interact in shaping organizational responses to contemporary challenges. Addressing this gap calls for integrative and interdisciplinary research that connects strategic, organizational, and institutional levels of analysis, while remaining sensitive to contextual and comparative differences across organizational and geographical settings (Cuel et al., 2024).

This Special Issue responds to these needs by providing a platform for high‑quality theoretical and empirical research on contemporary challenges in management and business. It seeks to advance holistic explanations of organizational adaptation, legitimacy, and value creation by bringing together diverse perspectives and methodological approaches. By fostering dialogue between global management debates and context‑sensitive research, the Special Issue aims to contribute to the development of more sustainable, innovative, and socially legitimate organizations in today’s evolving business landscape.

List of topic areas

• Contemporary challenges in management, finance, and organizations under conditions of uncertainty, volatility, and change.
• Strategic management, governance, organizational legitimacy, and organizational adaptation to economic, technological, and societal transformations.
• Innovation, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and technology‑driven organizational and managerial change.
• Organizational learning, management education, and the use of new learning technologies to enhance performance and decision‑making.
• Sustainability strategies, ESG practices, sustainable finance, and organizational legitimacy in responsible management.
• Organizational legitimacy, trust, reputation, transparency, and stakeholder relations.
• Employee well‑being, human sustainability, responsible leadership, and people management.
• Entrepreneurship, business models, financing decisions, and value creation in dynamic and competitive markets.
• Marketing, consumer, and financial perspectives on sustainability, organizational legitimacy, and value creation.
• Integrative, interdisciplinary, comparative, and international approaches to management, finance, and education research.

This special issue centers that work. Rather than focusing on discrete policies or reform initiatives, it examines how school leaders interpret, negotiate, and respond to competing demands in their day-to-day practice. Leaders are not passive recipients of policy; they actively make sense of it, prioritize among multiple and sometimes conflicting expectations, and shape how policy is enacted within their local contexts. In doing so, they balance pressures for compliance with commitments to care, equity, and the broader purposes of schooling. This issue brings attention to that often-invisible work of interpretation and decision-making.

While existing scholarship has documented the increasing regulation of schooling through accountability systems, curriculum mandates, and data-driven governance, less attention has been given to how leaders navigate multiple, overlapping pressures simultaneously, particularly in contexts where demands may be contradictory or politically contested. This special issue addresses that gap by foregrounding leadership practice across a range of domains and international contexts.

The contributions to this issue examine leadership in settings shaped by diverse pressures, including curriculum regulation, accountability systems, technology governance, crisis response, and resource constraints. Across these domains, authors explore how leaders interpret policy, make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, and respond to the needs of their students and communities. Collectively, these studies highlight the consequential agency of school leaders, not only in how policy is implemented, but in how it is adapted, mediated, and at times resisted in practice.

By bringing together empirical work across contexts and domains, this special issue offers a more integrated understanding of leadership under conditions of contradiction and complexity. It contributes to theory by highlighting the central role of judgment and sensemaking in leadership practice, and to practice by illuminating how leaders navigate competing demands in real-world settings. In doing so, it underscores the importance of preparing and supporting leaders who can respond thoughtfully and ethically to the challenges of contemporary schooling.

Authors interested in contributing should submit a proposed abstract (no more than 500 words) to Dr. Sonya Hayes by June 5, 2026. Authors will be notified of proposal decisions by June 30, 2026.

List of Topic Areas

• Leadership sensemaking and professional judgment in interpreting and responding to overlapping local, national, and global policy pressures
• Ethical decision-making and professional responsibility when formal mandates conflict with values, equity commitments, or community needs
• Balancing compliance, discretion, and care in contested or ambiguous leadership contexts
• Leadership practice across policy domains, including accountability, curriculum regulation, digital governance (e.g., AI, data privacy), crisis response, and resource allocation
• Implications for leadership preparation and development, particularly in building leaders’ capacity to navigate complexity and contradiction

The post Scopus Journal call for paper: Journal of Educational Administration (Negotiating Tensions: School Leadership Practice Under Conditions of Contradiction ) appeared first on KnowledgeSteez.

This Special Issue addresses that gap by positioning intellectual capital (IC) as the integrative lens through which the entrepreneurial university can be better understood. In particular, it invites contributions examining how human, structural, and relational capital are created, mobilised, measured, governed, and secured across the entrepreneurial university value chain (de Frutos-Belizón et al., 2019; Kashyap & Agrawal, 2020; Renaud et al., 2019). We are interested in work that connects IC with academic entrepreneurship research and entrepreneurship practice, including opportunity recognition, venture development and scaling, technology transfer office routines, incubator and accelerator support, entrepreneurial pedagogy, and ecosystem orchestration (Aldawod, 2022; Yin et al., 2023; Romano et al., 2025).

We welcome contributions from scholars in intellectual capital, entrepreneurship, innovation management, higher education, public policy, regional development, and related fields. We also particularly encourage submissions that speak to practice and policy, and that show how IC can improve the design, governance, evaluation, and impact of entrepreneurial universities.

We particularly welcome theoretically ambitious and methodologically plural submissions, including comparative, multi-level, longitudinal, mixed-method, network-analytic, text/data-analytic, design-oriented, and field-evaluative studies. Practice-informed submissions are also encouraged, especially where they engage with entrepreneurship educators, TTOs, incubators, ecosystem intermediaries, or policy actors.

List of Topic Areas

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial mindset development as intellectual capital formation
• Curriculum design, educator roles, and innovative approaches in entrepreneurship education
• Digital and AI-enabled entrepreneurship education as structural capital
• Academic entrepreneurship and the micro-foundations of entrepreneurial intellectual capital
• Technology transfer offices as intellectual capital management mechanisms
• Intellectual capital, spin-offs, and venture creation in university context
• University-industry-society collaboration and IC-mediated innovation performance
• Incubators, accelerators, science parks, and entrepreneurial support infrastructures
• Entrepreneurial ecosystems around universities and ecosystem-level intellectual capital
• Third-mission impact measurement, reporting, and evaluation through IC frameworks
• Practitioner metrics, policy frameworks, and the measurement of knowledge exchange
• Securing intellectual capital in entrepreneurial universities, including IP governance, data governance, cyber risk, and knowledge leakage
• International and comparative studies of entrepreneurial university models
• Multi-level, longitudinal, mixed-method, and engaged research designs in IC and entrepreneurship

This Special Issue, “Beyond efficiency in sustainable operations and supply chains: toward regenerative and net-positive systems,” seeks to advance new debates in sustainable operations and supply chains by moving beyond the currently dominant efficiency-based, eco-efficiency, and instrumental approaches to sustainability. While these approaches have generated important improvements, their incremental orientation is increasingly insufficient in the face of climate instability, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, geopolitical turbulence, and widening social inequalities.

The Special Issue provides a platform for research exploring how operations and supply chains can become not only less harmful, but actively restorative, regenerative, and net-positive. It will bring together conceptual, empirical, and pedagogical contributions that examine alternative logics, theories, practices, and system designs capable of supporting long-term ecological and social flourishing.

The originality of the Special Issue lies in explicitly challenging the dominance of efficiency and instrumental logics in sustainable operations and supply chain research. Much of the existing literature continues to emphasise optimisation, compliance, incremental eco-efficiency, and business-case framing. In contrast, this Special Issue foregrounds regenerative and net-positive perspectives, highlighting the need to restore social and ecological systems, rethink value creation, and address sustainability as a systemic and transformative challenge rather than a narrow performance objective.

The Special Issue therefore invites the communities of supply chain management, operations management, and sustainability to engage with regenerative and net-positive perspectives that can extend current debates on responsible production and consumption, circular economy, social responsibility, and contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals. It particularly welcomes interdisciplinary approaches that connect operations and supply chain research with insights from sustainability transitions, industrial ecology, systems thinking, organisational studies, policy, education, and social and environmental sciences.

By advancing research on regenerative manufacturing, operations and supply chains, net-positive organising, circular and restorative value creation, governance, stakeholder collaboration, social justice, inclusion, and teaching innovation, the Special Issue aims to contribute to positive change. It will support theory development, empirical insight, pedagogical innovation, and practical understanding of how organisations and supply chains can move beyond reducing harm toward creating ecological regeneration, social value, and more resilient socio-technical systems.

List of topic areas

• Net-positive organising and system design
• Regenerative manufacturing, operations and supply chains
• Beyond efficiency: critiques of instrumental and business-case sustainability logics
• Resilience, readiness and adaptation in polycrisis conditions
• Circular, restorative and distributive value creation models
• Governance, institutions and stakeholder collaboration for regenerative transitions
• Social justice, inclusion and community outcomes in sustainable supply chains
• Teaching innovation and pedagogical approaches for regenerative OSCM

The post Scopus Journal call for paper: Journal of Responsible Production and Consumption (Beyond efficiency in sustainable operations and supply chains: toward regenerative and net-positive systems ) appeared first on KnowledgeSteez.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) occupies a central and yet underexplored position within this transformation. Historically, PLM systems have served as the digital backbone of manufacturing organisations — enabling product data management, cross-functional integration, and process coordination from concept development through to end-of-life. This role has been indispensable in supporting the efficiency and traceability demands of modern industrial operations. However, the principles of Industry 5.0 expose significant limitations in this traditional conception of PLM. Systems designed primarily for data integration and process efficiency are not inherently equipped to support human operator well-being, embed circular economy strategies, ensure lifecycle traceability under evolving regulatory frameworks, or enable rapid organisational adaptation in the face of disruption.

This Special Issue responds directly to this gap. It introduces and advances the concept of PLM 5.0, a socio-technical and managerial evolution of traditional PLM systems that repositions PLM not as an IT infrastructure, but as a strategic governance platform capable of orchestrating lifecycle data, human interaction, sustainability metrics, and adaptive decision-making across complex and distributed industrial ecosystems.

The Special Issue is driven by four core research questions:

• How should PLM systems be redesigned to support human operator development, decision-making, and ergonomic well-being?
• What organizational and managerial changes are required to integrate circular economy principles throughout the product lifecycle?
• How can PLM systems enable manufacturing resilience and rapid adaptation to disruptions
• What governance, interoperability, and data management frameworks are needed to support these PLM transformations in diverse industrial contexts?

The aims of the Special Issue are therefore:

1. To conceptualize “PLM 5.0” as a socio-technical and managerial evolution of traditional PLM systems.
2. To provide empirical and theoretical contributions that integrate the three Industry 5.0 pillars within lifecycle-wide management systems.
3. To explore organizational, governance, and capability-related implications of PLM transformation.
4. To deliver actionable frameworks and strategic guidance for both SMEs and large enterprises.

The papers gathered here span conceptual, empirical, methodological, and case-based contributions, drawing on an established international community of scholars in PLM, manufacturing management, circular economy, and industrial sustainability. Together, they advance both theoretical understanding of PLM’s evolving role and practical guidance for firms navigating the transition toward more responsible and adaptive modes of lifecycle management.

List of Topic Areas

1. Redesigning PLM Systems for Industry 5.0
2. Human-Centric PLM and Operator Development
3. Circular Economy Integration within PLM
4. Sustainable Lifecycle Assessment and Net-Zero Strategies
5. Resilient Manufacturing and Adaptive Lifecycle Management
6. Governance, Interoperability, and Data Management Frameworks
7. Decision-Support and Managerial Transformation
8. Sector-Specific Applications with Cross-Industry Implications.

These developments have generated new financing channels and new actors within entrepreneurial ecosystems, while simultaneously raising fundamental questions about who gains access to capital, under what conditions, and through which mechanisms (Bertello et al., 2022). This evolving environment is particularly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and new ventures, which typically lack the collateral, legitimacy, and institutional visibility enjoyed by larger firms (Cowling et al., 2021).

The financial landscape in which entrepreneurs operate today is far more complex than the contexts in which traditional financial theories were originally developed. Emerging financing channels – ranging from crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending to tokenized assets and AI-driven credit platforms – have transformed how capital is allocated (Battisti et al., 2024; Block et al., 2018; Butticè & Vismara, 2022). Yet financial decisions are not purely technical or autonomous; they are shaped by behavioral biases, social networks, institutional environments, accounting practices, and sustainability logics (Colombo et al., 2023). While these dimensions have been examined separately across disciplines, systematic dialogue focused on entrepreneurship and small business finance remains limited (Bertoni et al., 2022; Inceoglu et al., 2024).

The rise of artificial intelligence makes this interdisciplinary engagement particularly urgent. AI does not merely represent a new analytical tool; it acts as a structural force reshaping relationships among entrepreneurs, investors, platforms, and institutions (Tran and Murphy, 2023; Kleinert & Vismara, 2026). It transforms credit evaluation, risk modeling, and investment screening, directly affecting SMEs’ access to finance (Li et al., 2024).

Simultaneously, AI reshapes how ventures are created, scaled, and governed, with implications for financial structures, resource mobilization, and legitimacy (Obschonka et al., 2025). In doing so, it cuts across behavioral, social, accounting, and sustainability dimensions of entrepreneurial finance, underscoring why an interdisciplinary approach is not only desirable but essential.
This Special Issue seeks to advance a multidisciplinary research agenda on the evolving relationship between entrepreneurship and finance. We invite contributions that deepen theoretical and empirical understanding of how digitalization, AI, and sustainability pressures are reshaping entrepreneurial finance. The goal is to provide insights relevant not only to scholars in management and finance but also to entrepreneurs, SME managers, investors, policymakers, and financial intermediaries navigating increasingly complex ecosystems.

We welcome conceptual articles, systematic literature reviews, bibliometric analyses, and empirical contributions employing quantitative, qualitative, experimental, or mixed methods. Longitudinal studies, cross-national comparisons, and multi-level designs are particularly encouraged. All submissions should meaningfully engage both the entrepreneurial and financial dimensions of the phenomenon and discuss implications for theory, practice, and policy.

List of Topic Areas

The Guest Editors invite conceptual, methodological, and empirical contributions that address themes such as – but not limited to – the following:

• Environmental and Social Disclosure in SMEs: Implications for Access to Capital, Investor Relations, and Financial Performance.
