Abstract
This “Reflections on Europe” marks the end of the tercentenary of Adam Smith's birth as an opportunity to consider the relevance of his work beyond the epithet of “founding father of Economics.” Recognising the limited attribution his analysis has had thus far – at least explicitly – in modern management commentary, we discuss three themes in his work – labour relations, business ethics, and inequality – that are also germane to contemporary organizational thinking. In exploring how a Smithian lens affords a generative opportunity for advancing insight and debate around European management thought, we invite future scholars and practitioners to further engage with his ideas as a means of understanding business as inextricably economic, social, political, and moral.
期刊介绍：
The European Management Journal (EMJ) stands as a premier scholarly publication, disseminating cutting-edge research spanning all realms of management. EMJ articles challenge conventional wisdom through rigorously informed empirical and theoretical inquiries, offering fresh insights and innovative perspectives on key management themes while remaining accessible and engaging for a wide readership.
EMJ articles embody intellectual curiosity and embrace diverse methodological approaches, yielding contributions that significantly influence both management theory and practice. We actively seek interdisciplinary research that integrates distinct research traditions to illuminate contemporary challenges within the expansive domain of European business and management. We strongly encourage cross-cultural investigations addressing the unique challenges faced by European management scholarship and practice in navigating global issues and contexts.
