The Practice Theme Committee is of strategic importance to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> 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 exemplar 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 "Dare to Care: Passion and Compassion in Management Practice and Research" encourages us to rekindle and recharge our motivational fuels for practice and research. Moreover, it implores us to engage our practice and research with principled relevance, impact, and accountability. In particular, we invite you to take the challenge that a practice perspective offers to engage with:
1. How do we bridge theory and practice to rekindle passion for management research? How do we co-create knowledge between practitioners and academics to achieve the dual goal of passion and compassion?
2. How do we engage our practice and research with principled relevance, impact, and accountability? How do we recognize and reward relevance, impact, and accountability in management research and practice?
3. How do we enhance management practice and research with curricula that foster passion and compassion? What are the challenges? What are some exemplary practices?
4. What are the leadership practices that embody passion and compassion? Do passion and compassion conflict or compliment? How do passion and compassion relate? How do passion and compassion impact scholarship and society?
5. How can we better understand the role of phronesis in addressing 'mal-practice' and 'mis-management' in advancing greater passion and compassion in research and practice? How can we dare to be different to make a difference? How do we demonstrate care-full reflexive practice?
We encourage exciting, innovative, and interdisciplinary workshops involving both researchers and practitioners. Please note that the "Rule of Three" applies for the 2010 PDW program.
