Dear Colleagues,
If you have a great research idea for a panel and want to do something creative, consider organizing a professional development workshop (PDW) at the international management division AOM meeting. It is a great opportunity for exploring new topics and controversies.
Send me your ideas and let's have some great intellectual discussions! I cannot assure that the PDW will be accepted, but we can work on having excellent proposals.
Hurry up because the deadline for organizing this is January 15.
Just in case, this is the formal announcement.
INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT (IM)
2013 IM Division Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals
Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra, Northeastern University
The International Management Division (IMD) invites submissions for Professional Development
Workshops (PDWs) at the 2013 Annual Meeting in Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), Florida. Special
consideration will be given to PDW proposals that integrate the theme of this year's meeting-Capitalism in
Question. PDW sessions will be held between 8:00am Friday, August 9rd and 8:00pm, Saturday, August 10th.
The IMD focuses on content pertaining to the theory, research, and practice of management with a crossborder
or cross-cultural dimension. Major topics include: the cross-border management of operations,
including multi-country, multi-unit, strategy formulation and implementation; evolving forms and
management practices in cross-border business; the cross-border differential impact of cultural, social,
economic, technological, political, and other institutional forces on strategies, organizational forms, and
management practices; the international competitiveness of firms, industries, and nations; and comparative
management studies involving two or more countries. To learn more about the IM Division, visit our website
Our goal in the PDWs is to enhance professional and personal skills associated with IM scholarship and
teaching. With this in mind, we seek innovative, provocative, and exciting proposals that bring together an
international community of scholars interested in enhancing research and teaching in International
Management.
PDW formats are highly flexible and can take the shape of workshops, panels, round table discussions,
training sessions, etc. As such, PDWs provide an opportunity to experiment with what is typically beyond
the scope of regular paper sessions. Thus, we seek creative and interactive proposals that promote
scholarship or teaching and involve not only other academy divisions, but also firms, not-for-profit
organizations, consultancies, NGOs, and public sector organizations.
Submissions: If you are interested in organizing or being involved in a PDW in any way, please contact
Final PDW submissions should be made through the Academy's website,
http://submissions.aomonline.org/20123. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, January 15, 2013, at
5pm EST. (This system opens November 6, 2012.)
We look forward to hearing from you regarding exciting workshops for the 2013 conference in Lake Buena
Vista!
