Apologizes for cross-postings
Academy of Management , Annual Meeting August 1 - 5, 2014, Philadelphia, PA
MANAGEMENT EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT Division (MED)
The Management Education & Development Division (MED) invites submissions
for Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) at the 2014 Annual Meeting in
Philadelphia. PDW sessions will be held on August 1st and 2nd.
For our 2014 PDW program we are seeking proposals for creative and
innovative sessions in which participants can work together and share their
experiences to enrich their teaching and research skills, advance management
education and development of individuals and organizations.
We are not looking for sessions that end-up in series of PowerPoint
presentations. We are looking for provocative thoughts, interaction with the
audience, providing it with tools, techniques, and concepts and new
perspective that help them to be effective teachers and researchers of
evidence based education.
Content
The primary focus of MED is the study of the organization and delivery of
management education and management development. Hence, we encourage
proposals that address the advancement of teaching and learning, and
participation and engagement strategies in all areas of the Academy,
including, but not limited to the following areas:
• Scholarship on Teaching/Learning; Effective Doctoral education
• Effective Teaching; Learning Assessments ; Learning Styles ;Teaching
Strategies and Techniques
• Executive education; Internationalization of education; Responsible
management education; Accreditation processes
MED also welcomes PDWs targeted to provide developmental opportunities for
doctoral students, junior faculty, experienced scholars and senior faculty.
Conference Theme: The Power of Words
MED encourages submissions that explore the 2014 conference theme. The
conference call focuses on the many forms of words in organizations and the
ways in which they facilitate or hinder the outcomes that various
organizational stakeholders seek at multiple levels, individual,
group/teams, organizations, industries and nations.
Likely questions include how different cultures and languages affect
processes and outcomes in international education settings; how new digital
communication technologies have enabled the construction of new vocabularies
and forms of communication and how this affects management education; what
level of impact are having different forms of conveying words and meanings
on teaching and learning effectiveness, and are they different for different
audiences, e-g- students and executives; how other disciplines, such as
arts, humanities, philosophy, philology, can help improving our ability to
master the power of words in management education, and to influence both the
knowledge and practice of management; how will digital communication
technologies impact the way we conduct and communicate our scholarship and
teaching.
Format
We encourage a variety of formats including: workshops (which are not
lectures), town hall meetings, debates, tutorials, panels (not = lectures),
tours, roundtable discussions, case studies, tutorials and workout sessions.
We expect PDWs to be interactive, take an interdisciplinary approach and
include practitioners, as well as academics.
Submissions
All PDW organizers are required to submit a proposal using the PDW Proposal
Submission Website by January 14, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. ET (NY Time).
