The Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTOF) has had a foundational impact on the development of much work in both organization theory and strategy. We seek to build an annual PDW that will be the touchstone of BTOF theoretical development (AOM 2024 will represent the fourth edition). The PDW will link past research with future opportunities, both narrowly within the BTOF and, more broadly, reaching out to research domains in which the BTOF is a substantive building block. We provide a discussion forum where scholars can develop a shared understanding of BTOF research and insights for developing research to advance theory. This year's theme is AI. We will engage in a theory-focused discussion of AI's implications for organizations - how recent AI developments will cause us to revisit, revise, and potentially reconstruct core building blocks of the BTOF.
The PDW will follow a two-part format:
Part 1: Keynote speakers. Zur Shapira (NYU), Dan Levinthal (Wharton), Anne Miner (Wisconsin), and Hart Posen(Dartmouth) will focus on how the emergence of AI in the wild, within the processes and practices of organizations, will impact our understanding of the foundational building blocks of the BTOF. Registration is NOT required for participation in Part 1 of the PDW.
Part 2: Roundtable discussions. Each table discussion will be focused on a different domain of BTOF research (e.g., aspirations, cognitive representations, problemistic search, org structure, multiple goals, self-enhancement). Prospective participants will apply by submitting a 2-page description of a research idea to be explored with the discussants and other participants. Each roundtable discussion will be guided by two experienced scholars who work in the BTOF tradition. Registration IS required.
To participate in Part 2, the roundtable discussion, please fill out the short registration form on this link by July 14, 2024. This will help us assign participants to roundtables based on their research interests. We will confirm registration for this PDW by late July.
