Behavioral Strategy PDW in San Antonio
You are invited to join us for the Behavioral Strategy PDW at the upcoming AOM meeting in San Antonio. Research in management revolves around firms & markets, operating at a macro-meso level, but necessitates assumptions about the behavior of individuals. The Behavioral Strategy workshop at AOM is a forum to deliberate realistic, parsimonious & generalizable theories linking micro-behavior to macro-outcomes in organizations & markets. Back for the second year, it features an expanded panel of top scholars in the broad research area of behavioral strategy.
Panel:
Philip Bromiley, U. of California, Irvine
Emilio J. Castilla, MIT
Jerker C. Denrell, U. of Oxford
Teppo Felin, Brigham Young U.
Giovanni Gavetti, Harvard U.
Gerard P. Hodgkinson, U. of Leeds
Theresa K. Lant, Pace U.
Michael Lenox, U. of Virginia
Joseph Porac, New York U.
Michael J. Prietula, Emory U.
Rhonda K. Reger, U. of Maryland
Violina Rindova, U. of Texas at Austin
Zur Shapira, New York U.
Mary Tripsas, Harvard U.
Conveners
Michael Shayne Gary, Australian School of Business
Sheen S. Levine, MIT & Columbia
Our panel of leading scholars will lead roundtable discussions about theoretical and methodological issues that arise in this stream of research. In addition, time is allocated for plenary discussions focusing on: what is (and is not) behavioral strategy, examples of current behavioral strategy research, and future research opportunities in behavioral strategy.
We expect a diverse crowd from a number of disciplines including economics, psychology, sociology, and organizational theory. Behavioral strategy research also includes methodological approaches ranging from experiments, simulations, archival data, to qualitative fieldwork.
The PDW will be held on Saturday, Aug 13 from 12:15pm-3:15pm at San Antonio Convention Center in Room 212 B. If you are interested in attending this PDW, please register by sending an email to: mbehstrategy@gmail.com.
There is also an opportunity to advance your own work through discussions with panel members if you would like to submit an abstract for review. To have your work discussed, submit a 1,000 word summary, including topic, method, expected contribution & pressing challenges. All those who submit an abstract stand a chance to win the Best Behavioral Strategy Work in Progress award. Send your abstract by July 22, 2011 to mbehstrategy@gmail.com.
Pease register early because seating is limited!
