| This PDW seeks to address the growing calls for more research on organization design. Organization design is concerned with the problem of organizing collective action, i.e. how to get multiple individuals with different interests and knowledge to achieve some task collectively. As such, it draws on different theoretical foundations to address problems that have practical relevance, and new theory, phenomena, tools, and data provide great potential for future research. The PDW is designed especially for PhD students and junior faculty interested in the subject, and will highlight the topics, tools, and triumphs of current and emerging scholars who have made organizational design a part of their research agenda. The program will feature several senior faculty who will offer their own perspective on new directions for design research and provide some insights regarding critical unanswered questions. The program will also include snapshots of recently published design-related research and a primer on the most up-to-date tools. Finally, we include numerous opportunities for interaction between panelists and participants throughout the PDW. Our goal is to provide both a platform to explore the area of organizational design and a means to help develop the next generation of organizational design researchers. |
