Abstract
This PDW builds upon the lively and successful 2009 AOM Cross Sector Partnership PDW convened in Chicago. This PDW will provide a dynamic interaction between academics and practitioners who are interested in cross sector partnerships whose goals are economic development for the disadvantaged and the sustainability of natural resources. Practitioners will present learnings from partnerships in developing countries. Academics with expertise in cross sector partnership research will engage with the issues presented from their various perspectives. Together, all participants will explore and seek to further develop and/or to challenge extant explanatory frameworks for successful collaborative cross-sectoral partnering. The goal of the PDW is to build on alliance theory through interaction among researchers and practitioners interested in cross sector partnerships. Ideas for future research or practice projects will be generated.
The PDW format is designed to emphasize emergent themes and ideas. Practitioner themes will be identified through an introductory conversation between scholar Ted London and Oxfam senior global microinsurance officer David Satterthwaite, followed by a question and answer session. During this time participants will identify issues, themes, theories, and ideas to surface in the Idea Market, a lively and interactive activity in which participants post their ideas on the wall in groupings they choose. From these groupings discussants will identify themes that will form the basis of table discussions. Participants self select into tables of interest to discuss a particular theme and to produce some logical conclusion. We have identified problems of practice, research questions, theory identification, development, or overthrow, and practice outcomes like training as possibilities. The following discussants will lead this activity:
