Please join us at AOM 2015 for an exciting PDW:
Big Tent, Little Ideas and the New, New Directions of Behavioral Theory of the Firm Research
Overview: This PDW will explore the most promising theoretical and empirical agendas for the Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTOF) and their implications for organization and management theory. In particular, our distinguished group of discussants and presenters will be charged with: 1) exploring lesser known pillars of BTOF; 2) how we might integrate the mechanisms of BTOF with those from other disciplines; 3) and augment the well-established ideas with new settings, methods, and voices.
Sponsors: Organization and Management Theory (OMT); Business Policy and Strategy (BPS)
Time: Saturday, 8 August 2015: 10:45 am – 12:45 pm
Location: Vancouver Convention Centre in Room 212
Panelists / Discussants: Pino Audia, Dartmouth College; Philip Bromiley, University of California, Irvine; J.P. Eggers, New York University; ; Vibha Gaba, INSEAD; Henrich Greve, INSEAD; John Joseph, University of California, Irvine; Tom Moliterno, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Hart Posen, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Workshop Content: Panelists will emphasize BTOF's most overlooked ideas and those which would benefit from greater insights from adjacent domains, new methods and settings. They will also highlight the cutting edge research pushing the boundaries of the BTOF framework, and give participants an opportunity to discuss the implications of it for Strategy and Organization and Management Theory.
Small group breakout discussions facilitated by panelists and discussants will further speculate on the BTOF's overlooked concepts, mechanisms and linkages between them, and debate the implications of it for organizations and organizing.
Discussants will then offer their personal views on the most promising theoretical and empirical agendas within the behavioral theory domain and implications for the field. A concluding plenary discussion will gather insights developed during the breakout groups, and address general questions.
