    AOM General Meeting PDW: Reconceiving and Re-invigorating the Role of Reason in Management Learning and Education

    Program Session: 54 | Submission: 19239 | Sponsor(s): (PUBS)
    Scheduled: Friday, Aug 10 2018 9:00AM - 12:00PM at Swissôtel Chicago in St. Gallen 3

    This is an event connected to a special issue of AMLE on Rationality and Management Learning and Education. Details can be found here: http://aom.org/uploadedFiles/Publications/AMLE/SI_Call_for_Papers_Rationality.pdf

    Speaker: Morten Thaning, Copenhagen Business School 
    Speaker: Michael Zundel, U. of Liverpool 
    Presenter: Michael Zundel, U. of Liverpool 
    Presenter: Alessia Contu, U. of Massachusetts, Boston 
    Presenter: Russ Vince, U. of Bath  

    The Special Issue poses the following questions:

    1. In what sense is rational action the aim for management learning and education?
    2. How do we cultivate rational managers and workplaces?
    3. In studying management learning and education, what alternative conceptions of rationality emerge?

     These questions have gained renewed importance in the age of fake news; information and propaganda warfare coupled with increasingly digitalized management and decision support systems as well as developments in artificial intelligence. Coupled with these is are growing questions about the efficacy of evidence-based approaches and critiques of overly rationalistic management education formats and management tools.

     Critiques of rationality in management take a number of forms, from outright rejection through embrace of irrationality; through the redevelopment of alternative forms of knowing such as phronesis; and through developments in areas such as behavioral economics; or in philosophy, aimed either at the recovery of rationality or at developments of its underlying ideas.

     The PDW will consist of two parts:

     Part 1: Panel discussion on Rationality and Management Learning and Education.

    No registration required for this part of the session.

     Part 2: Paper development roundtables

    Submission of Extended Abstracts/Short Papers in line with the Special Issue theme:

    Deadline for PDW roundtable manuscript submission: July 20, 2018.

     Acceptance of a paper for the PDW is no guarantee for acceptance of the paper for publication in the special issue.
