Hello all;
Sure hope you are looking forward to the upcoming Academy of
Management conference in Boston. We've a great program this year! Many many thanks to all of you that worked so hard as authors of the nearly 400 submissions and the 450+ reviewers.
As you likely know already, the main hotel for SIM activities will be
the MarriottCopley Place (MCP). We have created an exciting program with lots of variety and venues. Be sure to check out the SIMian tracks which provides an overview of the PDW and scholarly activities sponsored or co-sponsored by the SIM Division.
(note: The SIMlistserv continues to reject the SIMian tracks file as too large, so 'SIMian Tracks' is being posted to the SIM website and we'll get a link sent to you as soon as it is available. Thanks Aimee!)
Here's a few of the highlights.
Highlights. Sunday lateafternoon, in the Marriott Copley Place Hotel, is a time for a very few, veryspecial SIM sessions! We start by recognizing our emergent scholars as Finalists in the SIM Best
Dissertation(5-6pm, Salon K). We then honorProfessor Thomas Jones' significant impacts across three decades of thought leadership via numerous AMR and AMJ publications as well as being the first editor of Business & Society, and chair of numerous doctoral dissertations at the University of Washington.
