The purpose of this PDW is to advance research on scandals by providing a forum for exploring the different opportunities that scandals open for organizational scholars. Scandals are ubiquitous social phenomena. They are consequential events for organizations, individuals and societies. Therefore, scandals have long attracted the interest of scholars from different disciplines: sociology, economics, and political science. Organizational scholars have only sporadically studied scandals, however, and there exist unexploited opportunities to use scandals as quasi-natural experiments to advance several streams of research within organizational studies and management. This workshop aims to be informative, useful and enjoyable for the participants. It is organized in two parts. In the first part, panelists active in the study of scandals will carry the audience through the different moments of a scandal: (1) transgression; (2) publicity and the role of media, (3) stigmatization and after effects, (4) reputational repair. Also to be discussed are the empirical and explanatory challenges posed by scandal shocks. In the second part, the PDW participants will be grouped into different roundtables based on their stated interests regarding these various topics. Registration is free, but it is required to attend the workshop. Participants are expected to leave the PDW with different ideas on how scandals can be studied in different streams of research in organizational studies, all through an enjoyable experience. We hope to use this PDW to create a community of scholars interested in the study of scandals for future PDWs, conferences, or other events.
