2010 OMT/MOC Doctoral Student Consortium
August 5-6, 2010
Call for Applications
(Deadline: May 14, 2010)
The Organization and Management Theory (OMT) Division and the Management and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division are pleased to announce that their joint Doctoral Student Consortium will once again be part of the pre-conference activities at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting. The goal of this consortium is to help doctoral students who are broadly interested in organizations, management, and cognition to organize their thoughts about the final phase of their doctoral programs, advance their research, publish their dissertation or parts thereof, find a job in the academic or professional world, and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with colleagues who share similar research interests. In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium is strictly limited.
The consortium will include a variety of presentations, interactive discussion sessions, and workshops. It has been designed to allow for high levels of interaction between faculty and students. A key feature of the OMT/MOC doctoral consortium is the roundtable workshop format. In the "Research Roundtable" participants will be able to discuss their dissertation research with distinguished scholars in their field. In the "Teaching Roundtable" (joint with the OMT Junior Faculty Consortium), participants will have an opportunity to learn about successful elective courses that incorporate organization theory and managerial cognition topics into the curriculum. Syllabi and related teaching material will be shared and discussed.
In addition to conference co-organizers, Kevin Corley (Arizona State University), Nelson Phillips (Imperial College, London) and Bill McEvily (Toronto), the following scholars have generously agreed to contribute their time and effort to the professional development of OMT-MOC doctoral consortium participants:
· Woody Powell (Stanford) | · Mary Ann Glynn (Boston College) |
· Danny Miller (HEC) | · Don Palmer (UC Davis) |
· David Oliver (HEC Montreal) | · Davide Ravasi (Boconni) |
· George Huber (Texas-Austin) | · Michael Lounsbury (Alberta) |
· Roy Suddaby (Alberta) | · Pablo Martin de Holan (Instituto de Empresa) |
· Anne Langley (HEC Montreal) | · Don Lange (Arizona State) |
· Anne Fleischer (Toronto) | · Andrew Shipilov (INSEAD) |
· Morela Hernandez (Washington) | · |
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS:
The deadline for nominations is May 14, 2010; but before you rush to email us please read on.
· The number of participants is limited, and we anticipate more applications than available spaces. The application period runs from March 31, 2010 to May 14, 2010 (all nominations must be completed by May 14th to be considered).
· To apply, interested students must be nominated by their schools. No university can nominate more than two students, and each doctoral program is limited to one nomination. Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students need to coordinate their nominations. In making the decision to accept students, preference is given to those who have made the most progress toward completing their Ph.D. program and who have not participated in the OMT/MOC Consortium previously. Preference will be given to those students who have progressed to the dissertation stage and are either on the job market or considering being on the job market in the coming year.
· The Consortium is not open to those who have already completed their Ph.D., regardless of circumstances. Interested participants who have earned their degree should consider attending OMT's Junior Faculty Consortium.
· Applications should be emailed to BOTH consortium organizers (see email addresses below) by the department representative who nominates the student and should include the following in the body of the email:
o the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers,
o name of affiliated school and university,
o the division (OMT or MOC) that the student considers to be his/her primary affiliation, and
o a statement from the department certifying the nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams by August 1, 2010.
Also, the following three items should be attached to the e-mail:
(1) a brief letter from a faculty member providing a general appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of dissertation;
(2) a 1 page bio summarizing the nominee's contact information, research and teaching interests, and publications (this 1 page bio will be distributed among consortium participants); and
(3) a 3-5 page summary of the student's research project that will be presented at the Research Roundtables (typed and double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, one inch margins. No single spacing or micro-fonts please). This summary should include: research question(s), rationale, hypotheses / propositions, (proposed) methods (if applicable), and results (if applicable).
Again, please send nominations and supporting materials by electronic mail to BOTH conference organizers by May 14, 2010 and indicate specifically which division (OMT or MOC) the student considers his/her primary affiliation. Because incomplete applications cannot be fully considered, feel free to email either Nelson or Kevin if you are unsure whether we have received all of the materials.
Please note: You must be nominated by your school and formally accepted into the consortium in order to attend. You will not be able to register online using the AOM conference website until you are mailed a registration code. We will notify accepted students by email in early June. You acceptance letter will include a registration code to use in the AoM online registration system.
