The successive crises shaking the modern world challenge basic concepts that have profoundly shaped management practice and education. Conventional concepts like procedurality, ecosystems, quality systems, accounting models, and the primacy of efficiency, are among many concepts being revised in light of the latest sanitary, economic, social, and environmental crises. The entanglement of emergencies and brutal disruptions presage a frantic pace of change. Businesses, non-profits, and hybrid organizations alike, evolve in perpetual ontogenesis and a sense of urgency. Faculty, business leaders, and public service kingpins increasingly play the role of educators anchoring their constituents in deontic and inclusive systems, devolving power to the collective talent. From this perspective, and more than ever, management scholarship is requested to rejuvenate its relationship with the practice of management with iterative observation, theorization, and application to deliver practice-oriented knowledge.

This global fact, locally vivid, called upon the Faculty of Business and Management (FGM) of Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) to host an international management conference on 29-30 November 2021 in Beirut, Lebanon. RISE Conference is co-sponsored by the Management Consulting Division (MCD) of the Academy of Management (AOM), a global professional association of 20,000 members based in New York, USA, devoted to developing both rigor and relevance for the research and education of management professionals. The conference is also co-sponsored by the Institut de la Socio-économie des Entreprises et des Organisations (ISEOR) in Lyon, France.

The goal of the conference Research with Impact for Society and the Enterprise (RISE) is to highlight applied research with direct benefit to the management community and society in general. This conference is for scholars and practitioners who bridge the worlds of application and theory, and who view their work through a unique lens lending a clear focus to the direct impact needed in management today, especially in Lebanon and the region. The conference will include plenary and traditional paper sessions, as well as poster sessions to highlight the work of young scholars. The conference will also include workshops led by international scholar-practitioners that will focus on building ties with global management organizations and the publication of applied research.

The conference committee invites scholars, practitioners, scholar-practitioners, consultants, and students to submit their papers, work-in-progress, and research projects. The committee encourages particularly works that are intellectually provocative and immediately applicable.

Examples of paper submissions include full papers, consulting cases, research-in-progress, and doctoral and master theses presentations. Poster sessions are dedicated to innovative research at their creative ideation phase and student projects looking for genuine feedback.
