JHMO 2020 Cancellation & JHMO 2021 in Mulhouse Announcement

When the first Journées were organised in Nantes in 1995, we could hardly have imagined that this yearly gathering would continue to our 25th conference and now our 26th in its initial planning stages.  Even more, none of us could have imagined that one day the world would find itself in the midst of a pandemic that has brought almost everything to halt and that hearkens back to what was experienced a century ago. The situation is evolving rapidly and remains uncertain yet we firmly believe that through our resilience and our support for each other, we will be able to overcome the many challenges that confront us.
 
Unfortunately, the Coronavirus epidemic in France has required us to cancel our 25th Journées d’histoire du management et des organisations (JHMO) which was to take place on 26th and 27th March in Lyon. The Organising Committee, the Scientific Committee and the Executive Board of the Association d’histoire du management et des organisations have made the decision to not re-schedule the conference. It would not be possible to do so before Fall 2020 and we have already commenced our planning of the 26th JHMO in Mulhouse in March 2021. We are making arrangements for the General Assembly as well as presentation of the Joseph Colleye 2020 Prize.  It will take us a bit of time to determine the best means to do so. The Joseph Colleye 2020 Prize was announced earlier this afternoon here: https://ahmo.hypotheses.org/3136
 
We are thinking of all of our colleagues around the globe in these difficult times.  We will remain in contact and update you on AHMO news as we can and as the situation evolves. We must make a choice – that of optimism – and seize this opportunity to support each other and look to a brighter future.

25^th Colloquium of the History of Management and Organizations

Organised by the French Association for History of Management and Organizations (AHMO) and the Institute for Education and Research in Healthcare and Social Service Organizations (IFROSS, University Jean Moulin Lyon 3), with the collaboration of the Centre for Historical Research Rhône-Alpes (LARHRA, UMR 5190) and Triangle (UMR 5206).

The Colloquium in History of Management and Organizations (JHMO) is the annual, international and interdisciplinary colloquium organised by the French Association for History of Management and Organizations (AHMO). It gathers scholars in history, management studies, sociology, economics and other related fields, who share the historical approach of AHMO research topics: organisations, managerial thought and practice, and the field of management studies.

As in previous years, the 25^th JHMO is divided in two sessions. The general session is open to any papers dealing with managerial matters using historical methods. The thematic session focuses on “paths and networks”.
