    JOD has had a very successful year so far in 2017. The journal is publishing at a rate of at least one article per month, a requirement for obtaining an impact factor in the future. The Organization Zoo series is attracting attention, and several recent articles have received a large number of hits shortly after publication. Springer’s efforts to market JOD are paying off. Further, the number of citations is growing including many Web-of Science citations. JOD is doing particular well for a new Opens Access Journal. We encourage you to read JOD, and if you write a design-related paper, please consider submitting it to JOD.

    A new initiative has been presented by the ODC-member Ana Aleksic Miric to grow the ODC website as a knowledge base: Given the mission and the authority in the scientific community and practice, ODC has placed as one of its goals to help organization design science to establish and further develop the organizational design knowledge base. For this reason, a new service will soon be added to the existing ODC website by publishing information of the type listed below for the community to utilize:

    • Books that has appeared in the OD field;
    • Coming conferences;
    • Papers and book chapters to be published;
    • Projects ODC members are involved in and potential collaborators in projects

    This endeavour will be led by Ana as the Head of ODC Knowledge Resources. Ana is an Associate Professor of Organization and Management at the Faculty of Economics, University of Belgrade.

    Please contact Ana if you have information on resources that you find relevant to share with the members of the Organizational Design Community: anaa@ekof.bg.ac.rs

    We look forward to this initiative being fully implemented on the ODC website.

    Members of ODC are always welcome to contact the ODC administration office with ideas for projects to evolve and benefit the Organizational Design Community.

    Visit the JOD website to read the most recent article exploring the topics of double-bind organizations, toxic communication and employee burnout: 

    “How to avoid destroying your employees and organisations due to burnouts, braindrain and fading performance? Stop double bind-communication in your organisation!” - Such is the title of the point of view article authored by Angelika Kutz, published in May this year.

    The article by Kutz describes a presumed connection between the double bind-communication pattern in organizations and its detrimental consequences for both the employees of a double bind-organization and such double bind-organizations themselves.

    Click here to visit the Journal of Organization Design website and read the full article.

    We encourage members to submit articles to JOD: Get high visibility, speed of publication, flexibility and promotion.

    Organizational Design is the central subject in a new special volume of the Advances in Strategic Management Journal. The Editors of AiSM are interested in publishing journal articles representing a sample of the most significant empirical and theoretical developments at the intersection of organizational design and strategy.  

    In the call for papers, the AiSM Editors emphasize a special interest in work which links different disciplines (e.g., sociology, organizational economics, social psychology, history, organizational theory, strategy), blends theories, mixes methods or is otherwise particularly integrative in its approach. The Editors wish to offer scholars a chance to research topics which may be considered exploratory, risky or unusual for mainstream journals. 

    The objective of the special volume is to renew attention to foundational theories and highlight new and interesting efforts that develop and augment theories and methods in the pursuit of a better understanding of organizational design and strategic management.

    Submission Deadline: December 15, 2017

    View the call for papers here:
