In private as well as public organizations we see changing organizational forms, growing importance of ecosystems for competitive advance, the emergence of platform organizations, the increase in hybrid organizations, and many different experiments with flat organizations (absent hierarchy) -  The field of organizational design is undergoing a renaissance, and the Journal of Organization Design (JOD) conference is devoted to explore new trends in organization design, including new themes and methods within the field.

The Journal of Organization Design
The Journal of Organization Design (JOD) is the official journal of the Organization Design Community (ODC). JOD is the only academic journal focused uniquely on the subject of organization design. The mission of the Journal of Organization Design (JOD) is to publish theoretical and empirical research on organization design. Effective organization design requires both science and art, and the best theorists and practitioners have a deep understanding of how organizations work as well as how they can be redesigned and changed. JOD seeks to bridge the gap between academics and practitioners by publishing articles that have practical implications for the designers and managers of organizations

After six years as chief editors, Børge Obel and Charles Snow are handling over the reins to JOD’s new co-editors, John Joseph (University of California, Irvine), and Metin Sengul (Boston).

The conference
To celebrate previous achievements and anticipate those to come, we are arranging a small conference. The number of participants will be limited to allow everybody to indulge in elaborate discussions and informal networking.
