Greetings
The AOM program is now available, and I am pleased to invite people
to attend or present at PDW Submission #11720: A Pecha Kucha about
Social Evaluations, sponsored by OMT, BPS, MOC, and HR. Our time is
Saturday, Aug 4 2012 1:30PM - 4:30PM at Sheraton Boston Hotel in
Republic A.
There is growing interest in research on social evaluations. Social
evaluations are assessments of organizations and their components made
by stakeholders, such as customers, investors, current and potential
employees, and communities. Many evaluations have been used in past
research, including legitimacy, reputation, celebrity, stigma,
rankings, and certifications. Social evaluations have been linked to
many antecedents and consequences, such as organizational performance,
CEO pay, stock market risk, job attractiveness, etc. (Bansal &
Clelland, 2004 AMJ; Deephouse, 2000 JoM; Turban & Cable, 2003 JOB;
Wade, Porac, Pollock, & Graffin, 2006 AMJ; etc.).
This goal of the PDW is to provide a forum where people and ideas can
meet and new ideas and relationships can be developed. Our session
will adapt the Pecha Kucha format, an innovation from Japan used in
design settings for showcasing new ideas. One summary of Pecha Kucha
was given in the title of Daniel Pink’s (2007) article in Wired
Magazine: “Pecha Kucha: Get to the PowerPoint in 20 Slides Then Sit
the Hell Down.” He has a useful and entertaining example as a YouTube
video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NZOt6BkhUg. For more exemplary
presentations, see
http://www.pecha-kucha.org/. In this PDW, we are
modifying the timing slightly. Each person will present for five
minutes with 10 slides, that is, 30 seconds per slide. I will provide
presenters with a timed template and will cut off speakers at 5
minutes.
The session is organized as follows. Brief introductions of central
concepts by emerging scholars will start the session. There are
eighteen spaces for presenting new work. New work could include
theoretical puzzles, definitional debate, measurement innovations,
rich descriptions of practice, ethnographic observations, photographs,
video or audio clips, etc. – please use your imagination and
creativity. Twelve of the eighteen spaces are reserved for assistant
professors and doctoral students in order to provide them
opportunities to join the conversation. Four senior scholars will
serve as raconteurs and present integrative and provocative commentary
after all of the new work is presented. Two breaks will provide
opportunity for discussion.
Here is the current line up:
