BAM Human Resource Management SIG International Symposium

Description
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Schwab, 2017) has given rise to
many polarized debates about the world of work and how employing
organisations manage people. On the one hand, the emergence of
artificial intelligence and digitization creates opportunities for
new occupations, efficiencies in the production and supply chain,
as well as reduction of human error (Colbert, Yee, & George,
2016; Wang & Siau, 2019). On the other hand, a large number of
jobs are at risk of obsolescence, the skills gap accentuates, and
adverse working conditions within the gig economy intensify (OECD,
2019; Wood, Graham, Lehdonvirta, & Hjorth, 2019). The role of
data analytics also has strong implications for productivity and
experience of work for workers through performance instantaneous
monitoring and management interventions. At the same time, global
and multi-layered developments increase the need for more
sustainable, aligned and contemporary human resources management
(HRM) and employment relations (ER) practices. For example, the
changing demographics in the workforce caused by ageing workforces
and conflict- or disaster-induced mass human displacements
resulting in the need for labour market integration of immigrants
and refugees, present employing organizations with both
opportunities and challenges of how to effectively access novel
and rare talent (UNHCR, 2019). In addition, climate change and
global warming have given rise to governmental and corporate green
policies with clear implications for designing, implementing and
championing green HRM practices (Leidner, Baden, Ashleigh, 2019).
Also, the changing nature of work, in part driven by digital
innovations, has increasingly resulted in the growth of
non-standard forms of employment (40% of the total economy in OECD
countries) and subsequently, the need to extend social protection
and the opportunity for collective bargaining to an increasing
segment of workers (OECD, 2019).
This symposium offers an opportunity for dialogue among academics,
practitioners and policy makers to engage with current and future
challenges and identify potential HRM and ER strategies to address
such challenges. We welcome both empirical and conceptual papers
that may examine relevant topics at micro-, meso- or macro-level.
All methodologies are welcome.
Topics likely to be examined include (the list is not exhaustive):
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and job automation
- Ethical use of artificial intelligence and data analytics in
workplaces
- Changing workplace demographics, inclusion and diversity in the
global economy
- Training and development of a workforce for the future of work
- Responsible HRM practices in the context of climate and
demographic change
- Designing, implementing and promoting HRM practices for the the
digital age
- Opportunities and challenges for talent management in the
changing world of work
- The gig economy and its implications for HRM in a global context
- The role of HRM in sustainable and responsible employing
organisations
- HRM and employment practices across different organization forms
and systems
- Big data: opportunities and challenges for workforces
- Roles of institutional actors in regulating digital platform
work
- Workers’ voice in the digital age
Keynote speakers will include:
- Thomas A. Kochan, George M. Bunker Professor of Management,
Co-Director, Institute for Work and Employment Research, MIT Sloan
School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.
- Jacqueline O'Reilly, Professor and Co-Director, Digital Futures
at Work Research Centre, University of Sussex, UK/Economic and

Monash University Prato Centre, Palazzo Vaj, Prato, near Florence,
Tuscany, Italy
Prato is a picturesque and heritage-listed city in Tuscany, Italy.
It is only 17 kilometres north-west of Florence. The city boasts
important gastronomic, historical and artistic attractions, with
excellent restaurants, museums and a great cultural legacy that
started with the Etruscans and reached its peak with the
Renaissance, when artists such as Donatello, Filippo Lippi and
Botticelli left their testimonies in the city. The famous biscotti
invented in Prato during the Middle Ages, are still produced by
local traditional bakers. Prato is the third largest city in
central Italy (after Rome and Florence).
There are good-value flights to Italy, especially if they are
booked well in advance. Airport options include: Florence, Pisa,
Bologna or Rome. For travel information, see:
