Dear Friends,
We hope this email finds you well. For the forthcoming AOM meetings in Boston, we'd like to call your attention to the following two events for Chinese management scholars.
- On Saturday, August 4, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., we will hold an alumni reunion for the Chinese Management Scholars' Workshop at the Sheraton Boston Hotel, Back Bay Ballroom D.
- On Wednesday, August 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., we will have a one-day research forum at Boston College.
1) Alumni Reunion
The Alumni Reunion will consist of two parts. The first part (7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) is a panel discussion on teaching. The panelists are: Jinyu He (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), Yan Ling (George Mason University), and Weiru Chen (CEIBS). Brian Wu (University of Michigan) and Ming-Jer Chen (University of Virginia's Darden School) will moderate the panel. Topics will include but are not limited to:
-Teaching philosophy, class preparation, in- and out-of-class interaction with students
-Similarities and differences in teaching undergraduate, MBA, and EMBA classes
-Similarities and differences in teaching in different regions (North America, Asia, Europe)
-Case teaching and case development
The second part (8:30 p.m.to10 p.m.) is a career development roundtable discussion. Participants can choose to join the tables at which their particular areas of interest are being discussed. Discussion topics will include such themes as: dissertations, job search, starting out as an assistant professor, tenure packages, teaching, publishing/reviewing, research collaboration, and doing China-related research.
No registration is needed. Qing Cao (University of Connecticut) and Yu Zhang (University of California – Irvine) will be in charge of organizing this year's reunion.
2) Research Forum
The Research Forum is a new program this year. Please see the attached file for detailed information on its objectives, target audience and schedule. We have set up a website (http://www.zevinth.com/researchForum/) for online registration for this forum. Interested parties are encouraged to register online between May 15th and June 15th. Haibin Yang (City University of Hong Kong) and Tieying Yu (Boston College) will be in charge of the new Research Forum.
Please help spread the news about the Forum by forwarding this message to other Chinese colleagues (students and faculty) whom you think might be interested in it. If you have any suggestions for or questions about these events, please feel free to contact the respective event organizers.
Thank you for your interest and help. Have a productive and pleasant summer, and we look forward to seeing you in Boston!
