Volume 4, Issue 1
The Theory and Practice of Socio-Economic Management is back after a long pause. Some changes happened along the way.
The crisis of COVID-19 brought a different perspective to many aspects of business and life. Things that one could not have imagined before became a norm of life. Changes have occurred with the work of the SEAM Institute.
The SEAM Institute, which provides education about socio-economic theory and management, started providing seminars and training online. SEAM consulting, once thought of as only a face-to-face activity, also moved online.
The SEAM conferences once gathered scholars and practitioners for lively and engaging interactions on academic campuses. Since 2020 these meetings have become virtual events. While the virtual conferences lack the pleasures of eating together, making new friends and seeing old friends, they allowed for a wider international audience bring a different richness to the events.
The journal originally captured the ideas presented at live SEAM conferences in Minnesota. The journal, on-line and free to all, was published on the platform of an academic institution. Now, the journal has moved to a new home at the SEAM Institute and expanded its horizons. We still stay true to our mission to share and promote the knowledge of socio-economic management and feature original art as a way to recognize and promote the fundamental SEAM idea of human potential. However, now we will be publishing articles of authors who may not use the language of SEAM yet deliver the same philosophical principle – the balance of economic and human side of organizations.
