Synthèse

Rising political turbulence globally—including violent conflicts, regime changes, geopolitical tensions, and trade wars—increasingly affects organizations across sectors. This special issue seeks evidence-based insights to help managers and organizations navigate these challenges, filling the gap between academic theory and practical managerial guidance on operating effectively under political turbulence.

The special issue welcomes rigorous submissions addressing how organizations and managers can understand, influence, and adapt to political risks and disruptions. Papers should provide actionable insights grounded in robust empirical evidence or conceptual frameworks, directly addressing real-world managerial and policy issues. The journal prioritizes practitioner-accessible work that guides organizational behavior and policy decisions rather than theory-driven research.
