    Organization Development and Change (ODC) DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

    AUGUST 1- 2, 2014

    The 2014 ODC Doctoral Consortium will be held on August 1 and 2, 2014 as part of the pre-conference program at the Academy of Management meetings in Philadelphia.

    This Doctoral Student Consortium is for doctoral students interested in studying issues associated with human systems and organizational change. We welcome and encourage students at all stages of their dissertation – those who are well advanced in their dissertation work as well as those who are in an early stage in their dissertation.

    The consortium will provide opportunities for structured discussion and informal interaction between doctoral students and faculty on issues of research, publishing and early career issues. In small group coaching sessions, participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss their dissertation research with faculty members who will give feedback and help further advance participants' work toward successful completion, publishable results, and smooth transitions into their academic careers. This is a great opportunity to meet some of the prominent scholars in the field and network with peers.
