Dear Colleagues,
As an Asian member of the Academy of Management community, have you ever wanted to get
feedback on a research idea from your colleagues, but been too afraid to speak up? Have you
wondered how some scholars are able to write and publish their ideas in the most elegant
manner? Have you pondered where you would lead your academic career as faculty member?
And, are you ready to be inspired by listening to world-class scholars share their research
journey with you, and to inspire others with yours?
If your answer is yes to any of these questions, the following professional development
workshop (PDW), one of the three All-Academy Theme PDW at AOM2011 this year, may be
right for you.
The PDW, titled “When West Meets East: Challenges and Adjustment Issues for Asian Members
of the Academy” (Sunday, August 14th, 2011 11:30am – 1:30pm), will feature some of the
world-class faculty members who will share their perspectives on what are the challenging
aspects of being an Asian management scholar. Participants will then have the opportunity to
share their ideas with a theme pot that they find most interesting and personally relevant. We will
then regroup to share our ideas on how to tackle these adjustment issues. The PDW will also
provide a unique opportunity for participants to foster relationships with other scholars in the
field, and to build a community to help each other thrive. Overall, I expect the PDW to last for 2
hours.
I am extremely pleased that the following scholars have agreed to participate:
Xiao-Ping Chen
Michael Jensen
Hui Liao
Mooweon Rhee
Myeong-Gu Seo
Riki Takeuchi
Dean Tosvold
Jing Zhou
Ya-Ru Chen
