Call for Proposals
The Practice Theme Committee is of strategic importance to the Academy of Management and spans across all Divisions and Interest Groups of the Academy. It aims to:
• Develop greater awareness of what practice means and how it can usefully inform our scholarship in terms of both research and teaching.
• Identify and profile exemplary initiatives that bridge the gap between theory and practice and engage practitioners and academics in the co-creation of knowledge.
• Create a platform for ongoing engagement with practitioners so that the knowledge we discover is relevant and has impact.
This year’s theme “Green Management Matters” encourages us to self-reflectively examine the assumptions behind green management that inform our practices in research and teaching. We invite you to take the challenge that a practice perspective offers to engage with:
1. What are “Green Practices,” why do they matter in organizations, and how do they impact scholarship and society?
2. How do we enhance “Eco Literacy and Learning” with “Green Curricula,” “Environmental Leaders and Managers,” “Employee Engagement,” and “Green Politics”?
3. How do we bridge theory and practice to encourage “Environmental Design” and “Environmental Strategies” for “Product Stewardship” and “Sustainable Development”?
4. How do “Green Practices” encourage “Stakeholder Engagement,” build “Environmental Partnerships,” shape “Environmental Ethics,” and foster “Global Alliances”?
5. How can we teach, research, and implement “Green Management Scenario Planning” and “Environmental Policy” for effective “Crisis Management” and "Risk Management”?
6. How can we better understand the role of phronesis in addressing ‘mal-practice’ and ‘mis-management’ in advancing greater corporate social responsibility?
We encourage exciting, innovative, and interdisciplinary workshops involving both researchers and practitioners and elucidating the link between green management and practice. Please note that the “Rule of Three” applies for the 2009 PDW program.
