At this year’s WK ORG Workshop, from 12-14 March 2025 in Witten/Herdecke, Dr. Christian Mahringer and Laura Schmiedle presented and discussed their latest research projects with the international research community in organization studies.

Laura Schmiedle presented a paper in co-authorship with Dr. Christian Mahringer and Prof. Dr. Birgit Renzl. Titled Unpacking the Social Practice of Directive Adoption, the study examines how the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is implemented in practice and the social dynamics at play.

Dr. Christian Mahringer introduced another paper, developed in collaboration with apl. Prof. Dr. habil. Anja Danner-Schröder and Prof. PhD Thomas Grisold. Titled Organization Studies in the Metaverse, the paper explores the new challenges and opportunities that virtual worlds present for organizations and organizational research.

The conference provided an inspiring platform for academic exchange and discussions on current topics in organization studies. The positive feedback from the scientific community confirms the relevance of our research – and we look forward to continuing the discourse.
