  • 1.  Call for Research Proposals: PDW in Social Movements, Stakeholders, and Nonmarket Strategy at AOM

    Posted 06-07-2023 14:10

    Dear colleagues,

    We are glad to share that we are again planning the PDW in Social Movements, Stakeholders, and Nonmarket Strategy at AOM in Boston, which will take place on Saturday, August 5th from 8:00-11:00 am.

    Starting with last year, our new five-year focus is on how well our scholarly efforts address the "grand challenges" influencing many organizations. The PDW will be structured as usual: beginning with a panel of experts (see panelist bios below) and ending with roundtable discussions.  This last portion of the PDW will divide the participants into small groups, organized around grand challenges.

    We would like to invite you to submit a research proposal for these roundtable discussions. These small group discussions provide a great opportunity to receive feedback on current or new projects, brainstorm future directions, learn about available resources, and find potential collaborators.

    Each table will have 2-3 senior scholars to guide the discussion and serve as expert resources, and up to six participants. Please see a list of potential table themes below, and our discussion experts. We encourage proposals that fit within these themes, but we are open to other grand challenges, if there is sufficient demand.

    If interested, please submit an up to 3-page research proposal by June 30th via the following link: https://forms.gle/7UDcs8aQcgFD8zwa9 

    For any questions regarding the proposal submission process, please contact Jun Byun at JByun@iese.edu

    Please share this information with anyone who might be interested.

    We hope that this call encourages you to think about new research avenues or ways to develop your research further.  We look forward to your submissions!

    Best regards,

    The PDW organizing team: Jun Byun, Jocelyn Leitzinger, and Desirée Pacheco
