  • PRACTICE-ORIENTED DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM (PDW - AOM 2023 Boston)

    Call for Registration and Submissions

    Session Attendance – By Invitation / Pre-Registration ONLY

    Practice-oriented doctoral students face a unique set of dissertation challenges. Often seeking to either solve a specific business problem or close the theory/practice gap, the goal nonetheless centers on the creation of relevant and impactful research.

    A specially designed practice-oriented workshop will take place on August 5 during the AOM 2023 in Boston. This session will begin with an overview of the challenges practice-oriented doctoral students face across the dissertation process phases, and then will allow registrants to receive feedback on your dissertation project from experienced practice-oriented academics.

    Interested practice-oriented doctoral students are encouraged to submit a prospectus template of their doctoral dissertation work-in-progress (see submission information below).  During the session, each registrant will receive specific feedback on their submission from attending scholar-practitioners and practice-oriented university professors. The session will close with advice and guidance for all attendees on those elements presented and considered in an outstanding practice-oriented dissertation.

    Registration Process

    Registrants must be currently enrolled in a Practice-oriented Doctorate programme AND have successfully defended your thesis proposal.

    Registrants must also hold a currently valid AOM membership AND have registered to attend the Annual Meeting.

    Applicants must complete the following template to submit their application – by the submission deadline of 1 July 2023:

    PDW TEMPLATE FORM

    NOTE: Participation in the Consortium is by invitation only, with space limited to 20 students

    • If more than 20 applications are received, participants will be selected based on the quality and the potential scholarly literature and/or practice contribution of the submission. 

    Agreement to have your paper’s topic, literature review and research methodology shared among a small group for discussion purposes by the workshop facilitators is required – no level of confidentiality will be guaranteed to participants as part of the discussion.

    If your proposal is accepted, you will receive further instructions.  There is no additional cost to attend this PDW (other than the AOM Annual Conference registration).

    PDW Proposal Submission Hard Deadline: 1 July 2023

    We look forward to hearing from you!

  • MED Junior Faculty and Doctoral Students Consortium

    The Annual MED’s consortium at AOM (offered exclusively in-person this year), facilitates the professional development of junior faculty (5 years or less since the first faculty position) and doctoral students who are aiming for a successful faculty career and is OPEN to all AOM attendees across all divisions! Given MED’s interdisciplinary membership, our consortium is offered in a unique way so as to allow the participants to come up with a customizable bundle that addresses their teacher-scholar needs. Additionally, you do not have to dedicate a full day to attend a live consortium. On successful completion, participants are also awarded a certificate from MED-AOM!

     

    To successfully participate in the consortium, participants will meet the following requirements:

     

    1. Consortium participants will choose to attend THREE professional development workshops (PDWs) from a select list of PDWs being offered by MED at this year’s meeting. These workshops focus on a wide-range of topics relevant for professional development of emerging teacher-scholars (the list to be shared soon).

     

    1. Attendees will also participate in TWO bookend events (pre and post) which include a Friday evening (August 5 between 6:00pm-7:00pm) introductory welcome/mixer and a Monday morning (August 8 between 8:00pm-9:00am) breakfast. The goal is to provide participants with a platform to network, create a community, and reflect on their learning.

  • The Purpose of Business Organizations and Business Schools Revisited

    Aug 7, 2022 from 09:30 to 11:00 (PT)

    We invite you to see our pre-recorded conversation with Jeffrey Sachs that will be part of the Symposium

    The Purpose of Business Organizations and Business Schools Revisited.

    This is the link to the post of the conversation:  https://bit.ly/3n2rypD

    Both the Covid-19 crisis and the emergence of innovative business models offer a powerful signal that the foundational assumptions of capitalism are increasingly in doubt. Business schools, however, appear to be followers rather than leaders in this historical moment of social change. While citizens, consumers and businesses are experimenting with new models of capitalism premised on balancing profits with social purpose and the private, public, and plural sectors (Mintzberg, 2015; Sachs, 1999; Sachs et al. 2021), business schools have been slow to change and appear to be struggling with their identity and purpose.

     

    What might be the foundational values of a post-pandemic market system? What might be the purpose of business organizations in a post-pandemic scenario? What would a post- pandemic business school look like? The aim of this Symposium is to explore the answer to these questions and their practical application in a conversation with three former Editors of the Academy of Management journals (Suddaby, Phan, Hollensbe) and two thought thinkers and innovators of management (Mintzberg), capitalism and sustainable development (Sachs, pre-recorded interview).

    This symposium is a continuation of the 2021 Symposium on the same topic, which gathered four influential leaders and innovators: • Jay Coen Gilbert, co-founder of B Lab and CEO of Imperative 21 • Raj Sisodia, co-founder of Conscious Capitalism • Charles Wookey, co- founder and CEO of A Blueprint for Better Business, and • Gerry George, former Dean of SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business and professor at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business.

    We are thankful to the AOM Conference for allowing us to share the full video of the last symposium for you to watch: https://bit.ly/3wK3a1x.
