Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to an AOM panel symposium on "Utopias, Dystopias & Organizational Imaginaries: Organization Studies in a Brave New World". In this session, an esteemed group of high-profile scholars – Andy Hoffman, Lara Monticelli, Paolo Quattrone, Juliane Reinecke, Garima Sharma, and Charlene Zietsma – will share and discuss their views on the following overarching questions:
-
What theories of organizing do we have that would help us make sense of utopias, dystopias, and organizational imaginaries?
-
What roles can and should academics play in evoking, influencing, or counteracting utopian organizational imaginaries?
-
How might the study of alternative organizational imaginaries advance theory in management research?
-
With which methods can we best study and contribute to alternative organizational imaginaries?
Please join the conversation!
