Dear Colleagues:
We hope that you can join us at the Academy of Management Annual Conference for the following PDW:
Translating the Results of Scholarship into Actions by Practitioners
From Scholarship to Action
Program Session #: 239 | Submission: 10734 | Sponsor(s): (PTC, MED, MC, OB, ODC, OCIS)
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 2 2014 8:00AM - 10:30AM at Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 124
This Professional Development Workshop will build on the work of the Professional Development Workshop "Translating Scholarship into Practice: How can the Results of Scholarly Research be Translated into Information Practitioners can Use?" that was conducted at the 2013 Academy of Management Conference and Meeting held in Orlando, Florida. This PDW will provide researchers and practitioners the opportunity to discuss and reflect critically on recent initiatives to bridge the research-practice gap and to inspire extensions of current efforts to increase the relevance and usability of research. This workshop will discuss ways and means for closing the gap between management researchers and management practitioners that include strategies for using information technology, such as social media technologies, to link researchers and practitioner. We approach the research-practice gap from several perspectives, including that of the researcher, practitioner, and consultant representing academia, and the public and private sectors. The PDW participants are experts from around the world who will interactively explore with participants how each role contributes to the creation, translation, and dissemination of research results that are relevant and useful to practitioners.
