AOM PDW Craft & Organizations

Steph

The ultimate goal for this PDW is to introduce the audience to the topic of craft and organizations in a way that emphasizes both its theoretical and practical significance and provide participants with an opportunity to discuss pre-submitted extended abstracts with editorial board members of diverse management journals.

This PDW will be divided into halves. In the first half, open to everyone, guest speakers will introduce the topic of craft and organizations. In the second half, participants who submit abstracts will be grouped at tables with editorial board members of diverse management journals that have affinity with craft-related research. Each participant will have an opportunity to introduce their abstract with the rest of the table and receive developmental feedback from an editorial board member.

We want to create a friendly and developmental environment for everyone interested on this line of research. We invite interested participants that are currently engaged or interested in engaging in craft and organizations research to submit extended abstracts (Max 900 words) for research on craft and organizations, both broadly defined.

Please use the following link to submit your abstract by July 14th. 

Organizers:

Jose A. Cerecedo Lopez, UT San Antonio

Jochem Kroezen, Erasmus University

Speakers:

Innan Sasaki, University of Warwick 

Michael G. Pratt, Boston College 

Editorital Board Members:

Tobias Pret, Illinois State University

Silviya Svejenova Velikova, Copenhagen Business School

AOM 2023 PDW: Developing Theory from Historical Research

Steph

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: AOM 2023 PDW 

Developing Theory from Historical Research 

Session # 17948 | Sponsors: MH, OMT, RM, TIM, STR 

Aug 5, 2023 from 3:15PM to 05:15PM ET 

Submission Deadline: July 17, 2023 

Who is this PDW for? 

If you are: 

  1. a.) engaged in (or interested in) conducting research with historical data, and 
  2. b.) doing inductive (i.e. theory-building rather than hypothesis-testing) work, and 
  3. c.) hoping to publish your work in top management journals 

then this is the PDW for you! 

Overview 

This PDW brings together a distinguished panel of scholars to stimulate an interactive and developmental exchange on conducting inductive research using historical data. Our core focus will be on the theory-building / theoretical contribution part of the research process – how do we understand the past to inform the present? How do we move from the setting being studied to higher-level conceptualizations, while maintaining a balance between generalization and contextualization? 

Importantly, our aim will be to focus on these questions from a practical standpoint, taking away useful advice that scholars can adopt in their research practices. And for those of you who have the opportunity to discuss ongoing projects with the panelists, you will also get advice tailored to your specific projects. 

Panelists 

  • Andrew Nelson, University of Oregon, Lundquist College of Business 
  • Roy Suddaby, University of Victoria, Gustavson School of Business and Washington State University, Carson College of Business 
  • Dan Wadhwani, USC, Marshall School of Business 
  • JoAnne Yates, MIT, Sloan School of Management 

Organizers: Rohin Borpujari, London Business School & Chelsea Lei, Boston College 

Structure 

1. Panel Talk and Group Q&A: For the first part of the PDW, our panelists will lead exchanges around topics such as which research questions are best suited to historical case studies; how to balance the needs for contextualization vs. generalization in theorizing; how to write up a historical case study for publication in management journals, etc. 

2. Roundtables and Individual Feedback: Pre-selected participants will have the opportunity to engage in quick, entrepreneur-style “pitches” to the experts (separated into 4 different roundtables), with a view to receiving developmental feedback specific to their projects. 

Each participant will have 20 minutes in total – 10 minutes to describe their project (or project idea) and what areas they would like feedback on, and 10 minutes to receive feedback / engage in discussion with the expert. 

How to Apply 

Part 1 is open to all attendees and does not require any application in advance. 

For Part 2, in order to ensure quality interactions with panelists, we are limiting the number of “pitches” to 16 (i.e. 4 per panelist). If you are interested in receiving feedback on a project that you are currently working on, please submit your interest to the organizers at rborpujari@london.edu, by 11:59 pm Eastern Time (Boston time) on July 17, 2023. 

Specifically, please submit an abstract or overview of your project, including two questions that you would like to ask the panelists to receive feedback about that project. Please keep this document limited to 1 page, single-spaced, in PDF format. 

In addition, in your email, please rank order your preference for which panelist roundtable you would like to be a part of (with the number “1” referring to your first choice panelist and “4” referring to your fourth choice panelist). 

Note: In addition to the 1-page abstract, you may, if you wish, submit a theoretical model or diagram that you are working on in case your project is at a more advanced stage and you would like comments on the model you are building. 

If you have any questions about the PDW or the application process, please feel free to reach out at either rborpujari@london.edu or leicd@bc.edu.

AOM PDW on Microhistory

Steph

CALL FOR PDW PARTICIPANTS & SUBMISSIONS

Microhistory for Strategy, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation Research

Professional Development Workshop

2023 Academy of Management Annual Meeting

Friday, August 4th, 2023.  2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Boston Marriott Copley Place, Salon E

We are excited to announce a Professional Development Workshop focused on microhistory at the Academy of Management Meeting co-sponsored by multiple divisions, including STR, ENT, MH, OMT, RM, and TIM.  This PDW brings together historians with leading history-engaged scholars in strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship to explore the application of microhistory to management research.  The goals of the PDW are to develop awareness and understanding of microhistory as a research method and guide researchers in designing microhistorical studies.

The Microhistory PDW consists of three components:

  1. Microhistory Overview for Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.  Andrew Hargadon and Daniel Wadhwani will lead Section A.  The overview will give participants a working understanding of microhistory and its role in developing management-relevant theory.  The overview will focus on (a) the distinct explanatory character of the microhistory approach, (b) its relationship to other types of historical knowledge production, and (c) opportunities and means for using microhistory to advance research in strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
  • Microhistory in Conversation with History-Engaged Researchers.  Leading, history-engaged scholars Rajshree Agarwal, Lamar Pierce, and Mary Tripsas will draw connections between their work and the formalized concept of microhistory.  They will explore how historical methods, and microhistory specifically, can address existing questions in the discipline in new ways and how such approaches can develop new research agendas.  This session will conclude with a Q&A including all scholars and PDW participants.
  • Interactive Roundtable Sessions.  Three working groups will be convened, each pairing a historian (Hargadon, Kirsch, and Wadhwani) and a “history-engaged” scholar (Agarwal, Pierce, Tripsas) to focus on accepted projects with the intent of working with the author teams to explore how the microhistorical approach is relevant to the project, how it might apply to it, the contribution of the work, and handling expected comments from reviewers less familiar with microhistory.  To be included in the roundtable sessions, participants must submit a document including a project summary and details about the team (See Apply Now below for submission guidelines).

The Microhistory Overview, Conversation on Microhistory Panel, and Q&A are open to all AOM 2023 attendees.  The Interactive roundtable sessions are limited to those that have submitted an accepted project.

Date/Time/Format

  • Friday, August 4th, 2023.  2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
  • Boston Marriott Copley Place, Salon E

Speakers:

  • Rajshree Agarwal, University of Maryland
  • Andrew Hargadon, UC Davis Graduate School of Management
  • David Kirsch, University of Maryland
  • Lamar Pierce, Washington University in St. Louis, Olin Business School
  • Mary Tripsas, UC Santa Barbara College of Engineering
  • R. Daniel Wadhwani, USC Marshall School of Business

AOM 2022 PDW: Digital archives search

Featured Steph

Are you interested in learning about how to use email in your research? If so, please come to a special Professional Development Workshop (PDW) at the 2022 Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting to learn how other scholars are using email and to participate in a study about knowledge discovery in large-scale, organizational email corpora.

Emails are materially different from the correspondence of the pre-digital age, but their significance as traces of the past is substantial, especially for organizations, where email is not only used as a form of correspondence but also as an informal mode of record keeping. We believe that the preservation of a meaningful, relatively complete email archive is one plausible pathway to supporting scholarly research on organizations.

The forthcoming PDW — “Introducing the ‘Digitally Curious’ to Email Archives for Organizational Research and History (session 183)” — is sponsored by the Management History (MH) division of AOM and will introduce the “digitally curious” scholar to email archives for organizational research. It will be moderated by Prof David Kirsch (University of Maryland, US), Dr Adam Nix (University of Birmingham, UK), Shubhangkar Girish Jain (University of Maryland, US) in person, and online by Prof Stephanie Decker (University of Birmingham, UK, and University of Gothenburg, Sweden) and Dr Santhilata Kuppili Venkata (independent scholars).

The PDW will take place on Friday, August 5, from 2:00-4:00pm PDT in a hybrid format with both in-person and virtual participation supported. To allow participants to access the email tools and collections, pre-registration is requested. If you would like to register or to learn more about the workshop and the project, please email Shubhangkar Girish Jain (shubhangkar.girishjain@marylandsmith.umd.edu).

Attendees at the PDW are invited to contribute to research on the use of email and will be encouraged to complete a post-workshop survey that will constitute an input to our ongoing research in this area. Completion of the survey is not required to attend and participate in the workshop.

AOM2020 Management History Calls for submission

Steph

The Management History (MH) Division invites PDW, symposium, and paper submissions for the 80th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from 7 – 11 August 2020. You may send us your submissions through the AOM Submission Center until it closes on Tuesday, 14 January 2020 at 5:00 PM ET (NY Time). The Submission Center opens in early December 2019.

Conference Theme: This year’s conference theme is “20/20: Broadening our Sight” and encourages us to widen our view when examining our domain, practice and organizational phenomena. We encourage you to make connections to the theme wherever possible in preparing your submission.

Our Domain: The Management History (MH) Division is a wide-ranging network of scholars interested in the antecedents of modern business practice and thought. We invite submissions of empirical and conceptual papers, as well as proposals for symposia (including panel discussions, debates, and roundtables), for consideration for inclusion in the division’s scholarly program. We encourage submissions from all members of the academy interested in devoting or sharing their work in management history broadly defined.

As there is an element of history within every division in the Academy, the division is open to a variety of methodological approaches and themes ranging from historical events in management practice (empirical focus) to studies that engage with historiography, philosophies of history, and the history of ideas and management thought (theoretical orientation). In this spirit, the MH Division welcomes scholarly contributions that generate meaningful and original contributions in history from across all AOM divisions’ interest groups. Submissions for sessions sponsored jointly with other Academy divisions are regarded as particularly attractive, and highly encouraged. The MH Division encourages submissions from doctoral students. Papers with a PhD student as the first or sole author should be clearly identified when submitted to allow identification of possible winners of the Best Graduate Student Paper.

AOM PDW – Stigma research

Steph

Developing Stigma Research: Exploring How Our “Lenses” Affect Our Research

https://my.aom.org/program2019/SessionDetails.aspx?sid=10944

Building on our previous PDWs, this PDW aims to help researchers to develop their research projects about stigma and identify opportunities for research. Particularly, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of stigma’s role in influencing identities, organizations, professions, and fields.

Overall, this PDW consists of three components:

-(1) an introduction that defines the topic and provides an overview of recent work.

-(2) Thematic roundtables, each facilitated by 2-3 well-known scholars, which will also focus upon “challenges” that researchers are experiencing in positioning, conceptualizing, and publishing their work. Roundtables will last 60 minutes and have a maximum of 6 participants per table.

-Finally, there will be (3) a panel in which prominent experts, Bryant Hudson, Glen Kreiner, and Paul Tracey, will present their reflections on how their theoretical lenses shape their topics, methods, and findings on stigmatized actors. The organizers will then facilitate a discussion on how our lenses and empirical choices as researchers shape, or should shape, our research, before opening the discussion to the group.

You need to pre-register for this PDW. Please contact the workshop organizers at aomstigma@gmail.com to obtain the approval code. To pre-register you need to submit a 1-2 page document with an abstract of a project and a challenge statement that outlines the issue that you would like to discuss at your roundtable. The deadline to register online is August 2, 2019.
