Inter-Organizational Behavior Professional Development Workshop
AOM PDW #13317
Saturday, August 11, 2018
4:15 – 7:15pm, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Michigan 1B
The goal of this PDW is to create a community of scholars across divisions with a shared interest in examining behavioral issues within an inter-organizational context - that is, examining how humans interact within inter-organizational systems, processes, and projects. This objective encompasses a diverse set of behavioral issues, involving the interaction of, for example, cognition, emotion, and culture with the decision-making behavior of individuals, groups, organizations, and networks. Such research can adopt a variety of methodological approaches, including experiments (laboratory, scenario-based, field, etc.), surveys, case studies, secondary data analysis, and conceptual work. The ability to examine inter-organizational behavioral issues at multiple levels of analysis poses unique challenges and opportunities for the field, and this PDW will offer perspective on theories and methodologies that are particularly suitable for research.
The workshop will consist of two components:
- We will host a panel of senior scholars to discuss interesting phenomena, useful theories and applicable methodologies related to the area of Inter-Organizational Behavior at various levels of analysis.
- We will conduct a breakout session consisting of Table Topics. We will have several concurrent round-table discussions focusing on Inter-Organizational Behavior conducted at different levels of analysis (e.g., individuals, teams, organizations, and networks). A wrap-up session will bring the entire group back together and share key take-aways from each Table.
One networking coffee break is scheduled in between the outlined activities.
We hope you will join us for this workshop!
