    Friends,

    We invite you to participate in the following PDW on Saturday from 9 AM to 11 AM at the Marriott (Room: Addison).

    298: Innovating for the Present to Have a Future (21023)

    Saturday, August 10, 2024

     09:00 – 11:00 CT (GMT-5/UTC-5)

    Location: Marriott: Addison

    Presenters:

    Dharm Bhawuk (U. of Hawaii at Manoa), Robert Sroufe (Chatham U.), Ashish Pandey (IIT, Bombay) & Indu Rao Kaveti (Pandit Deendayal Energy U.)

    The primary objective of this PDW is to provide Academy Members from different divisions the opportunity to work together to address the challenge for researchers, instructors, policy makers, business schools, and institutions at large, to remain innovative and relevant for now and into the future. What questions, frameworks, organizational systems, designs and work practices can catalyze positive change and transformation? In a dynamic landscape – market and consumer preferences, business uncertainties, education for future jobs that don't exist yet, environmental and societal interdependencies – it is imperative to address what it means to innovate for the future and the opportunities and challenges that accompany it, from both theoretical and pragmatic perspectives. The PDW will conclude with summary research, and inclusive and collaborative ideas on innovations in people, products, services, and processes. The participants will leave with a broader understanding of the theme and a set of new research ideas to further inform research, pedagogy, and practice.

    Best wishes,

    --Nagaraj

    on behalf of PDW Organizers (Tanvi Kothari, Aarti Ramaswami & Nagaraj Sivasubramaniam)
