PDW @ AOM: STEPPING OUT WITH THE INDIAN ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT
Program Session #: 156 | Submission: 13964 | Sponsor(s): (INDAM, IM)
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 9 2013 4:30PM - 7:00PM at Offsite in Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort
Hello everyone,
Do you already do or are interested in research on Indian management issues? Do you teach Indian management students or India related topics? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this PDW will provide an informal setting for you to meet other scholars interested in research/teaching in/on India. Everyone (faculty/student, Indian/non-Indian) is welcome.
ABSTRACT: Using a unique format, this PDW aims to foster collaborations and mutual learning among scholars interested in India-related management research and teaching, thereby expanding the community and reach of members interested in Indian management issues. The PDW will take place as a walking tour in the Disney Epcot area (where the conference resorts are). Participants will be organized in small groups where a facilitator will lead discussions on various India-related research/teaching questions and issues along the walking tour. The PDW has seven facilitators to guide the participants in this process. Groups will exchange members at various designated spots along the walk to maximize exposure and breadth of discussions. The PDW will end with a drinks/dinner session (at participants' own expense). Facilitators may summarize some of the key points and issues raised in the various small group discussions.
FACILITATORS: Stacy Blake-Beard (Simmons College); Rajashi Ghosh (Drexel U.); C Lakshman (Bordeaux École de Management); Sushil Nifadkar (Georgia State U.); Charmi Patel (U. of Edinburgh Business School); Aarti Ramaswami (ESSEC Business School); Vasanthi Srinivasan (IIM-Bangalore).
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
• We will convene at the Reception desk of Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort. Wear comfortable shoes.
• Each participant will be given a handout with the map of walking route and "exchange stations." Resources on research/teaching on Indian management issues may also be shared.
• To Register: Please send an email to Aarti Ramaswami (ramaswami@essec.edu) with the following:
1. Your full contact information
2. Two India-related research or teaching questions or other issues you would like to discuss with participants
3. You may also choose a facilitator listed above for your initial mini walking group (although groups will change periodically throughout the walk). Please note that we may or may not be able to accommodate your request.
Hope to step out with you!
Best,
Aarti Ramaswami
