Bridging the Divide Between Rigorous Research and Relevance to Society, Policy-making and Practice: Perspectives of AOM Fellows (All-Academy Theme Session # 456 – (Sunday, August 1, 2021 6:00 AM - 8:30 AM EST )
What we do as management scholars matters and is informative for practice. So why is it not used more in policies and practices? This All-Academy Theme PDW addresses this important question and, thus, is worth getting up early for if you are in the Americas – a time that is set to be convenient for participants from around the world.
- Who is Involved: Presenters will be a distinguished and diverse group of AOM Fellows who will share their experiences in bridging the rigor-relevance gap. Participants will be those who want their research to have the impact it deserves.
- The Motivation: Social scientists are increasingly asked (and want) to not only do research at the highest scientific level, but also to have that research used – to help public and private sector practitioners. To date, the results have been mixed and this workshop is aimed sharing insights that can help increase our research impact.
- The Structure: Two panels of AOM Fellows sharing their experiences and advice on (i) how to promote important, rigorous findings that have practical implications; and (ii) how to draw on the problems faced by practitioners to stimulate rigorous research that will be used. Each panel will be followed by a small group breakout discussion session.
- The Outcome: Enhance how knowledge from management research is used in policies and management practice to promote a better world.
We look forward to seeing you there.
