Fred,
It is not a requirement to have a doctoral degree to be a reviewer
for the Academy of Management meeting. Indeed, knowing you for over a
decade in cyberforums and once as a guest lecturer to my university, it is
clear to me that you know more about management practice and theory than 95
percent of the members of the Academy of Management. Your military career
and success as a senior executive of some of the most respected
organizations in the world do not delegitimate you but rather are another
form of validation. I exhort Steve Armstrong to extend an invitation to you
to join the AOM's MED Division's Program Review Committee. What you should
do is provide him with a list of management topical areas that you have
expertise in (as everyone really should do) so he can better match you up
with papers aligning with your knowledge.
Considering you a wonderful resource of the global management education
community,
Cybercollegially,
Charlie

I'd love to help out, Charlie, but my pedigree does not permit.
