Emotions as a strategic resource - contribution to the Best Paper Proceedings of the Academy of Management 2025

We are delighted that our paper “Strategizing and Emotions: How Key Strategic Events Trigger Emotional Regulation through Discursive Practices” (co-authored by Dr. Robin Schulz and Prof. Dr. Gordon Müller-Seitz) was included in the Best Paper Proceedings of the Academy of Management 2025 in Copenhagen.

We have tapped into an innovative field of research - strategizing in e-sports. The fast, intense decision-making in this environment offers fascinating insights into the link between emotions and strategy. A step towards emotion-conscious management - we are looking forward to the discourse in Copenhagen!
