It helps them prepare for the job market and plan future careers. We aim to help students make the most of their doctoral program, advance their research, consider how best to publish your research, find an academic job, manage their early career and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with MORE INFO: The consortium will include panel presentations, discussion sessions, opportunities for personal mentoring and teaching roundtables. It has been designed to allow for high levels of interaction between faculty and students. In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium is strictly limited. Interested students must be nominated by their schools and must be OMT members (either already or by joining now).Attendance is by invitation only.

Encompassing a wide range of denotations, socialism is back in public discourse in many countries from which it had been absent for many years—now sometimes as epithet but surprisingly often as a self-declared identity. For those who embrace the label, the shared underlying intention is to urge a radical transformation of economy and politics—one that makes inclusivity the foundational principle of social organization at every level, from work teams to national and international governance. This PDW explores what the concept of socialism has meant and might mean in the context of management practice and theory.

In this PDW, we offer participants the opportunity to hear from renowned scholars as they revisit what they feel is their most under- appreciated piece of work from their career thus far. Presenting scholars will share the main idea of the paper they chose, why they felt it was an important contribution, and why they suspect it didn’t receive the accolades or generate the buzz that they expected. They will further expound on how others might learn from their experiences with “ideas that got away.” What lessons, if any, can be gleaned about scholarship and recognition? Is there a way to ensure that good ideas do not fall through the cracks? To what extent are ideas in our field subject to the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”? Is recognition arbitrary, or is credit usuall PDW Workshop -OMT- -OB- -STR- Friday, Aug 9 2019 8:00AM - 9:30AM Boston Hynes Convention Center Room: 205 Theme Research 15309 50 Optimal Distinctiveness: Comparing and Bridging Macro and Micro Perspectives Organizations constantly face the competing pressures to be both “similar to” and “different from” their peers (Deephouse, 1999; Durand & Calori, 2006). Conformity helps organizations gain legitimacy and avoid performance penalties associated with deviance from existing norms, expectations, and practices (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Differentiation allows organizations to stand out from the crowd, establish unique competitive positions, and gain competitive advantage (Helfat et al., 2007). To reconcile the competing pressures of conformity versus differentiation, organizations need to engage in strategies that achieve optimal distinctiveness (OD). Building on and extending the first two annual PDWs on Optimal Distinctiveness organized at the AOM 2017 and 2018, the theme of this year’s PDW is centered around juxtaposing and bridging the micro and macro perspectives on OD. Our goal is to stimulate some interesting discussions (even debates) between these two sides who have rarely talked wi PDW Workshop -OMT- -OB- -TIM- Friday, Aug 9 2019 8:00AM - 9:30AM Boston Hynes Convention Center Room: 208 Practice International Theme Research 12117 51 Understanding Analytics: Methods to Investigate Big Data, Algorithms and Culture In this PDW, we will engage participants from OMT, STR, SAP and RM divisions in a discussion about the application of different methods and tools to investigate the intertwined relationships between big data, algorithms, and culture. While academic efforts have developed increasingly sophisticated algorithmic approaches for analyzing big data, less work has explored the cultural constitution of big data. To explore the ways in which culture can help reframe the discussion around analytics, this PDW will include (1) 3 presentations that highlight methodological approaches to study the underlying phenomenon of analytics (i.e., field-level ethnography, individual-level concepts of analytics, and micro-level ethnography); (2) a presentation from a strategy consultant from The Boston Consulting Group articulating a practitioner’s perspective on current tools utilized in data science routines; (3) reflections of a senior scholar about the theoretical possibilities afforded by the different r PDW Workshop -OMT- -STR- -SAP- -RM- Friday, Aug 9 2019 8:00AM - 9:30AM Boston Hynes Convention Center Room: 204 Practice Research 17782 59 Exploring Digital Transformation with Philosophical Methods The purpose of this workshop is to explore the potential of philosophical methods to advance management research in the topical area of digital transformation, for the benefit of society and humanity. In a world where the introduction of digital innovations is met with suspicion and fear, due to their potential to exclude humans from traditional control functions, managing these challenges to achieve inclusive organizations becomes an utmost priority.

In the first part of the PDW, participants will gain theoretical knowledge from scholars with extensive research experience on three closely related themes – specifically, institutions’ influences on entrepreneurial activities, new venture creation and internationalization as adaptation to institutional evolution, and the co-evolution of institutions and entrepreneurship. In the second interactive part, questions from participants will be addressed to stimulate relevant and meaningful discussion, in understanding the changing rates of entrepreneurial activities across countries and regions and the influential impact of institutions in the changing process in today’s global economy.

Following successful PDWs over the last six years on various issues in professional organization research, this year we turn our attention to innovation -- a challenging topic for researchers and practitioners in these traditionally stable and institutionalized contexts. The PDW will begin with three presentations by our panelists on contemporary approaches to innovation research in the professional service context (details on topics and presenters below). These will be followed by a question and answer session. Thereafter we will divide into three round tables, each around one of the panelists. The PDW will also afford opportunity for small group interactions with our expert panelists and organizers.

It aims to encourage empirical research at the intersection of emotions and institutions by creating an opportunity to discuss the possibilities and trouble- shoot the challenges of conducting such research. Studying emotions from an institutional perspective requires a more socially embedded conceptualization and a more contextualized approach than survey scales of affect can reveal. This leads researchers working in this domain to face empirical challenges in collecting, analyzing and displaying emotions as data. While emotions have been studied extensively by researchers from psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy and neurobiology, the appropriate lenses and methods by which to tackle emotions and their role in institutional dynamics is less understood.

It has attracted significant attention from management researchers and has been studied using a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. At the same time, researchers in a growing number of disciplines and divisions are attracted to this domain. And while our understanding of OI is generally increasing, many challenges in researching OI remain a MORE INFO: The first version of this PDW was organized in 2014, and the earlier PDWs have resulted in a publication (with twenty-three involved authors) in Industry & Innovation. This article proposes a number of research categories that are used to frame this version of the PDW. After the presentations of top journals editors the facilitators will have a short “pitch” of their interest in researching open innovation, and then discuss the related opportunities and challenges together with the PDW Workshop -TIM- -OMT- -OCIS- -ODC- Friday, Aug 9 2019 9:00AM - 12:00PM Boston Hynes Convention Center Room: 210 Practice Theme Research 14409 77 Growing the Seeds of Inclusive Practices - Off-Site Visit We will be taking a field trip and guided tour of the Roxbury Innovation Center (RIC) located at 2300 Washington St., Roxbury, MA 02119.

All of these frameworks have as their goal an explanation of social phenomena and the structure of social reality. The goal of this professional development workshop is to bring together representatives of some of these most prominent positions to: (1) Describe exactly what their framework is; and (2) Show how it can shed light on some of the foundational questions of interest to management scholars, like, What is firm? Where does competitive advantage come from? What is money? How is value created?

Most of the management-related research on climate change has focused on prevention or mitigation. Management scholars have barely begun to address how business organizations strategically adapt to climate change.

It is inspired by the belief that a POS lens in the classroom has been a revitalizing force in management education and that discussion and exchange of these practices can support further innovation in management teaching and learning. The workshop uses a roundtable design to give attendees maximal choice in selecting 3 of 9 roundtables to attend during the workshop. The roundtables showcase a deliberately diverse range of teaching practices informed by a Positive Organizational Scholarship perspective (Cameron & Spreitzer, 2012; Cameron, Dutton & Quinn, 2003). Roundtables address a deliberately broad and diverse range of topics. Roundtable leaders include core faculty from the University of Michigan Center for Positive Organizations: Kim Cameron, Mari Kira, Bob Quinn, and Amy Young along with an innovative global range PDW Workshop -OB- -MED- -OMT- -TTC- Friday, Aug 9 2019 10:00AM - 12:00PM Sheraton Boston Hotel Room: Commonwealth Teaching 19144 106 Organizational Mnemonics: The ‘Historical Turn’ and the Research on Learning, Memory, and Ignorance The goal of this PDW is to foster the research on organizational mnemonics. By organizational mnemonics we refer to the field of inquiry focused on the ways in which the past is (re)presented in connection to processes of organizing. The rationale for the development of this PDW is that although researchers from different traditions have focused on similar phenomena, there has been little cross-fertilization among them. As a result, this PDW aims to bring together scholars interested in organiza MORE INFO: Pre-approval is required for the second part of the PDW.

How to Research and Interpret Meaning Flows in Social Networks In recent times, scholars in the field of social network research have called for more attention to meaning in social networks. While existing research has addressed network structure and content, attention to meaning flowing through social networks has been limited in management and organization studies journals. Yet, a comprehensive approach to studying social networks should pay attention to meaning, in addition to social relationships and their configurations. Meaning refers to both explicit and tacit flows including intent, feelings, signification, symbols, perceptions, and value. But most empirical network studies continue to rely on tried and true research designs that merely scratch at the meaning “surface.” For example, friendship and advice ties continue to be the most studied kinds of ties in social networks. The actual meaning that flows through networks, what and who exactly modifies meanings, or how interaction between people and groups changes both networks and meanings PDW Workshop -OMT- -OCIS- -RM- Friday, Aug 9 2019 11:00AM - 12:30PM Boston Hynes Convention Center Room: 201 Teaching Theme Research 10441 126 Advancing Aspirations Research: Theorizing and Measuring Social Aspirations Research on the Behavioral Theory of the Firm, and in particular aspirations, continues to have a significant influence in strategic management, organization theory, and decision making.
