This panel symposium aims to open research dialogues and foster research practices across multiple fields of management studies interested in advancing systems perspectives to better tackle complex social-ecological problems. This objective meets the urgent need of building a coherent set of ontological, methodological, and epistemological assumptions on systems perspectives in management theory. Given our aim of building new bridges across management fields on a novel common perspective, this proposal targets the maximum allowed number of AOM Divisions (three), involves a remarkably high number of prominent panelists (eight), and builds purposive complementarity with other proposals submitted to AOM 2025. Thanks to this panel symposium, participants and panelists will have advanced ideas on the next steps necessary to build a common research agenda on systems perspectives in management theories and a scholarly community expanding the relevance of systems-based theories for policy and management practice. These next steps may involve, for example, establishing conference tracks in future gatherings, calls for special issue proposals in top management journals, and social media communities.
