All-Academy Theme Program
This year's theme, "West Meets East: Enlightening, Balancing, and Transcending," will come
fully alive on Sunday, August 14, when the All-Academy Theme (AAT) Program takes center
stage. Jan Rivkin, the AAT Chair, and his committee have organized a fantastic program. The
Program's 46 sessions, organized around a dozen tracks, will offer something exciting for
everyone. Some sessions will focus on a surface interpretation of the theme—the implications of
Asia's rise in global business—while others will examine a more subtle interpretation—the
challenge of benefiting from diversity. The following small sample of AAT sessions will inspire
you to look carefully at the entire program.
Bridging East and West: Asian Business Schools and Models of Management Education and
Research
Join the Deans of leading business schools as they debate whether Asia's emerging schools
should follow the Western model of scholarship or pursue a distinctive Eastern approach.
Successfully Balancing Opposite Goals: How All-Academy Award Winners Do It
Learn who earned the highest honors in the Academy this year and hear them describe how they
have sought balance in their careers.
Humble Breakthrough, Quietly Brilliant: Ambicultural Management at HTC
Join chief executive Peter Chou as he describes how an "ambicultural" management approach
has helped him transform HTC into a leader in the global smartphone market.
How Can I Make An Impact? Management Researchers Seeking to Change the World
Converse with scholars who boldly aspire to improve the world through their work.
Collaboration among the Public, Nonprofit and For-profit Sectors

Academy of Management News June 2011
Volume 42, Issue 2
Personal Experiences of Scholars Successfully Transcending the West-East Divide
From first-hand accounts, learn the secrets to moving between very different cultures.
The Caucus Program
The Caucus program again received a record numbers of submissions for the 2011 AOM
meeting; thanks to all of you who submitted proposals. As you may know, the caucus sessions
are designed to provide a convenient, informal way for Academy members with shared interests
to discuss common issues, and to explore potential research collaborations.
Thanks to Cyndy Cycyota, this year's Caucus Program Chair, and her committee, the selected
caucuses this year are centered around three primary themes: 1) regional scholar groups that use
the forum to explore research ideas, 2) conference theme-related groups who this year are
exploring additional ideas for "West meets East" ideas in international research, and 3) scholars
with interests in sharing new methods for research. For example, a session entitled "People to
People: An Invitation for scholars from East and West" explores ways that business educators
can design and implement curricula that prepare new generations of leaders for a global society
that pays more attention to human factors. Another caucus session that offers interesting
discussion potential is "East Meets West: Ethics in Teaching and Publishing." This session will
explore ethical similarities and differences between "East" and "West" in teaching, research,
publishing and other professional roles.
These are just two of the 48 caucuses offered on Monday and Tuesday of the meeting. Please
explore the other interesting caucus ideas in the online program and plan to attend several that
interest you. We look forward to your contributions to the discussion!
Cross-Divisional Paper (CDP) Sessions
Thanks to Bat Batjargal and his committee, this year's Cross-Divisional Paper (CDP) sessions
are composed of 60 sessions on a wide variety of topics and themes that will have appeal to
Academy members from many different divisions and interest groups. In total, we have 29
regular paper sessions and 31 roundtable sessions. These sessions range from more traditional
themes such as institutional theory, social networks, multinational management, and careers to
relatively under-researched issues such as global entrepreneurship, the role of religion and
spirituality in business activities, and managerial transformation in the People's Republic of
China. Scholars from fourteen different nations—from the United Kingdom and China to Brazil
and the United Arab Emirates, on five continents—will serve as chair-facilitator of the CDP
sessions. The session chairs include such well-established scholars as Martin Kilduff of the
University of Cambridge, Neal Ashkanasy of the University of Queensland, and Shaker Zahra of
the University Minnesota, as well as mid-career scholars and newly minted PhDs. All in all, the
2011 CDP sessions should offer exciting intellectual exchanges on a broad range of themes,
thanks to a number of devoted chairs and interested presenters and participants.
Discussion Paper Sessions (DISC)
This year, the division program chairs have selected a range of intriguing and thought-provoking
papers for the discussion sessions. Dorota Piaskowska and her committee have organized 87
sessions featuring between two and four papers, and spanning all the divisions and interest
Academy of Management News June 2011
Volume 42, Issue 2
groups within the Academy. They hope that everyone will be able to find something that
interests them within the DISC program.
The discussion sessions are a relatively recent addition to the program. They are led by some of
the most respected researchers in each field and designed to offer plenty of opportunities for
insightful and constructive discussions in a friendly setting. If you are looking for a forum where
informal yet in-depth discussions led by experts are the key feature, please attend some of the
DISC sessions. If you are interested in previewing the papers, you are welcome to do so through
the online program or by contacting the authors.
Here is a small sample of the DISC sessions. Please take a look at the online program, where
you're sure to find many other exciting offerings. We hope to see you there!

The Regular Program (PDWs and Scholarly Sessions)
Another year of strong submissions supports the AOM's program of professional development
workshops, paper sessions, symposia, and caucuses. In all, the program offers 332 workshops,
Academy of Management News June 2011
Volume 42, Issue 2
737 paper sessions, 220 symposia, and 48 caucuses. With such an abundance of activities, it's
difficult to select just a few to mention here, so I invite you to peruse the 2011 Online Program ,
where you will see them all. Please plan ahead to ensure that you have a wonderful meeting
experience and do not miss any of the sessions of interest to you. I want to thank all of the
authors, reviewers, the PDW, and program chairs for their hard work and contributions in putting
together this outstanding program.
I look forward to seeing you in San Antonio!

Welcome to the 2011 Professional Development Workshops!
I hope this brief ―welcome‖ message finds all members of our Academy of Management doing
well and preparing to attend the Annual Meeting this August in San Antonio, Texas. As we
know, the Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) that are to be available to you in just a
few short months will be held on two complete days (Friday August 12th and Saturday August
13th) from 8:00 A.M. until 8:00 P.M.
We truly do believe that the Workshops that are to take place this year have strong potential to
create value for many individuals including PhD students, new faculty, junior faculty, professors
who are now involved with the latter stages of their careers, and parties desiring to engage in
dialogues regarding either the practice of management or avenues to take to serve practitioners
through consulting-related activities.
In addition to welcoming you to this year‘s PDW sessions and meeting, may I also encourage
you to register with the Academy, select your lodging preference in San Antonio, and make your
travel arrangements if you have not had an occasion to this point to do so? We truly do hope you
will be able to participate with us during this year‘s exciting Workshops.
The full PDW program is now available to you through the Academy‘s online program site. I
believe you will find a very rich array of PDW-related opportunities as you search through the
PDW link that is a part of the program now available to you online.
In closing, I would very sincerely like to express my deep appreciation for the opportunity to
serve you this year as many of us have joined efforts to develop an exciting and valuable set of
Professional Development Workshops. Thank you for the honor of joining you to complete this
important activity. I truly look forward to seeing you in San Antonio and to deriving meaningful
benefits from our Workshops!
Warmest regards,

OCIS Pre-Meeting Events
The OCIS division will offer a rich range of activities before the 2011 Annual Meeting in San
Antonio, TX. On Friday, we will offer two consortia, one for PhD students and one for junior
faculty. The Doctoral Consortium is a research-focused meeting of selected Ph.D. candidates and
a panel of distinguished research faculty. The agenda includes roundtable presentations of Ph.D.
students' research proposals, a panel presentation on starting an academic career and other career
development advice and activities. We have been fortunate to receive support from the US
National Science Foundation (grant IIS 11- 02558) to fund travel and attendance for students
(including a few international students). Interested participants must apply at
http://crowston.syr.edu/ocisdcapp by 1 May 2011.
The OCIS Junior Faculty Consortium provides an opportunity for junior faculty to discuss their
developing research agenda with a senior faculty mentor, talk about the challenges of getting
tenure, exchange ideas about career management and network with peers from the disciplines
and schools represented by OCIS. All pre-tenure (or non-tenure) faculty who have graduated in
the past 7 years are welcome to apply. All Consortium participants are asked to provide a short
(2-4 page) research summary. The fee of $60 is requested to cover costs of materials and food. If
you have questions about the OCIS Junior Faculty consortium, please contact the coordinator,
Manju Ahuja. To register online for this event (and all other events requiring registration), please
visit https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg.
On Saturday, we will offer three Professional Division Workshops. Saturday morning, there
will be two providing an introduction to different research methodologies. The first is "Decoding
The DNA In Social Sciences: A Sequence Analysis Method For Analyzing Complex Process
Data", led by James Gaskin (Case Western Reserve), Kalle Lyytinen (Case Western Reserve)
and Youngjin Yoo (Temple). The workshop will discuss the key elements of the sequence
analysis approach and demonstrate uses in a hands-on format across a number of application
areas. The main goals of this PDW are to: 1) provide scholars with a useful new method for
analyzing complex social data; (2) generate discussion and feedback to help improve this novel
method; (3) increase awareness of other researchers╒ work in this field; and (4) encourage
collaboration and new research ideas. Participants are encouraged to bring their own process data
that could be subjected to sequence analysis.
The second PDW will be "The Art of Publishing Qualitative Research on Information
Technology, Management and Organizations", coordinated by Daniel Robey (Georgia State) and
Robert D. Galliers (Bentley) (aided by several facilitators). The aim of this half-day workshop is
to provide an opportunity for qualitative researchers in Information Systems, Strategic
Management, Organization Studies and related fields of study to hone their skills in developing
papers for publication in major journals. The workshopΓÇÖs scope is limited to (1) publishing
qualitative research on the relationships among information systems, management and
organization and (2) developing skills related to writing qualitative research papers for
publication. The workshop╒s objective is to engage participants into activities where skills can
Academy of Management News June 2011
Volume 42, Issue 2
be acquired under the guidance of experienced facilitators. Those wishing to attend this
workshop are required to submit to the coordinators a 1,000 word paper by July 1, providing
their reasons for and aims in attending, prior to registration.
Saturday afternoon, OCIS will offer a community building workshop, "Building Bridges
through a Socio-Technical Perspective", organized by Brian S. Butler (Pittsburgh), Steven L.
Johnson (Temple) and Steve Sawyer (Syracuse). The goal of this workshop is to bring together
researchers who study a wide variety of research questions and phenomenon but who share
interests around exploring social phenomenon together with related technology. The organizers
will build from recent work done by the Consortium for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems
(CSST: see http://sociotech.net) to facilitate participant networking and stimulate the discussion
of specific issues such as: What does the socio-technical perspective provide (that other available
perspectives do not)? What are the current, relevant, conceptual debates in socio-technical
research? What are major literature streams and key research papers to read, build on and
reference? What are successful publication strategies for socio-technical research? Preregistration is required for this workshop. To register online, please visit
https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg. The cost to register is $25.00 and the deadline to register
online is August 10, 2011.
In addition to the three PDWs noted above, OCIS is co-sponsoring nine other PDWs covering a
broad range of topics for your education and development, including workshops on process
research, social network analysis, funding opportunities, big science, virtual worlds, technology
change and teaching with technology. As well, as in past years, we are organizing an
International Paper Development Workshop, coordinated by Katherine Stewart (Maryland). The
objective of the workshop is to help authors improve their research for future submission to
OCIS or academic journals. Senior OCIS researchers, as well as other workshop participants,
will give authors specific feedback on their work. Please contact the workshop chair to apply.
Preference will be given to papers with either a significant international component (e.g., deal
with international issues such as globalization, rely on data collected outside of the U.S., or have
at least one co-author located outside of the U.S.) or a theoretical perspective that is not
considered mainstream. Pre-registration is required.
Finally, in addition to the scholarly program, the pre-conference program will include one social
event, a Doctoral Consortium Reception Saturday night. All OCIS members and interested AOM
participants are invited to come meet the students in the consortium. This year, students will
present posters about their research at the reception to introduce themselves to the community
(and vice versa).
Questions and comments about the program can be directed to the PDW chair, Kevin Crowston
(crowston@syr.edu). I hope you will find something of interest in this year's offerings and look
forward to seeing you in San Antonio!

Inspiring ENT Session Highlights
This year‘s theme of the annual program of ―West Meets East‖ is most appropriate given the
Academy‘s international growth and reach. With an evolving focus on increasing
internationalization of entrepreneurship research and practices of developing countries and
emerging economies, the Entrepreneurship Division has generated inspiring and interactive
workshops that we hope audiences will find as opportunities for shared interdisciplinary and
cross-cultural research. There are some sessions that need mentioning:
Throughout much of the world, women have been deprived of the opportunity to participate fully
in their national economies which keeps them from reaching their full potential. The female half
of the population is the greatest unexploited economic resource and the key to economic progress
lies in unleashing women‘s potential. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing
to do; it‘s also the best strategy for fighting poverty. Countries such as China have prospered
precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy.
Empowering Women Through Entrepreneurship will draw upon the expertise of scholars from
17 countries representing the West and East and explore the mechanisms that make
entrepreneurship such a potent tool of empowerment by exploring the forms of empowerment
and the key conditions under which it can occur.
Social entrepreneurship has become a popular topic in leading business schools globally and
firmly holds a place on policymakers‘ agendas but less is known about social enterprises in
emerging economies such as China. Social Entrepreneurship in China: East Meets West will
provide a deeper understanding of the issues by comparing and contrasting Western and Chinese
contexts and practices, and encourage the sharing of best practice research from different
perspectives and disciplines. Program session #219, Saturday, August 13, 2011, 8:30am –
11:00am, San Antonio Convention Center: Room 216 A.
Drawing on the inspiration to encourage high-quality research Increasing the Quality of
Women’s and Minority Entrepreneurship Research will provide mentoring to researchers

Entrepreneurship (ENT) Division--PDW and Program Highlights
This year again sees an extremely rich selection of thematic PDWs, Paper Sessions and
Symposia on Theory, Method, and a range of topical areas of interest for those in the
Entrepreneurship Division, or those just interested in entrepreneurship. Let me
highlight just three of these that may be particularly appealing to colleagues across the
Academy.
First, The Entrepreneurship Division has put together various sessions in line with this
year‘s main conference theme. Entrepreneurship plays a key role in society in both the
Eastern and Western contexts. At the same time, both East and West have much to
learn from each others‘ entrepreneurial experiences. Passion is a topic that has long
eluded the analysis of entrepreneurship. This session focuses directly on the role that
passion plays in entrepreneurial decision making and actions. The research spans
methodological issues, theory development, and provides new empirical insights based
on rigorous testing of unique data sets. Session 17315-Does Passion Have a Place in
Entrepreneurship? Monday, August 15, 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM, San Antonio Convention
Center, 007D.
Second, among this year‘s sessions that highlight novel methodological approaches
that will be attractive to colleagues in Entrepreneurship and many other divisions is
Session 17318- Is Being New Really Such a Liability? Monday, August 15, 11:30 AM
– 1:00 PM, San Antonio Convention Center, 007C. This session provides compelling
new research challenging this conventional wisdom concerning ―the liability of
newness.‖ These new findings provide a fresh theoretical perspective by subjecting
novel sources of new data to state-of-the-art empirical methodologies. Being new may
not be such a liability after all.
Third, social entrepreneurship has become a popular topic in leading business schools
globally and firmly holds a place on policymakers‘ agendas but less is known about
social enterprises in emerging economies such as China: Social Entrepreneurship in
China: East meets West (PDW Program Session #219), Saturday, August 13, 2011,
8:30 AM – 11:00 AM, San Antonio Convention Center: Room 216 A).

Organizational Communications and Information Systems (OCIS)
Division Program Update
Friday, August 12 will feature the OCIS Doctoral and Junior Faculty
Consortia. A highlight of our Professional Development Workshop
program on August 12-13 will be Saturday afternoon‘s community building
workshop, "Building Bridges through a Socio-Technical Perspective,"
organized by Brian S. Butler (Pittsburgh), Steven L. Johnson (Temple) and
Steve Sawyer (Syracuse).
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who study a wide
variety of research questions and phenomenon and who share interests
around exploring social phenomenon together with related technology. The
organizers will build from recent work done by the Consortium for the
Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST: see http://sociotech.net) to
facilitate participant networking and stimulate the discussion. Preregistration is required for this workshop. To register online, please visit
https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg. The cost to register is $25.00 and
the deadline to register online is August 10, 2011.
The OCIS Keynote Address, entitled ―Mortgaged Future: Did IT Have a
Role in Creating the Crisis in Real Estate Finance?‖ will be presented by Dr.
M. Lynne Markus on Monday, August 15, at 4:45. Information technology
and the transparency it can bring are often cited as solutions to current and
future global financial problems. But could IT have also have had a role in
causing the mortgage meltdown? This presentation examines how the use of
information technology—in the form of decision support (e.g., automated
underwriting), transaction processing and electronic data exchange, and new
information-based financial products (e.g., adjustable rate mortgages,
collateralized mortgage obligations, etc.)—may have contributed to the
crisis, and considers how enhancing technology may prevent future crises.
Dr. Markus is the John W. Poduska, Sr. Professor of Information and
Process Management at Bentley University.
The OCIS Division Business Meeting and Social Hour will follow the
Keynote on Monday evening. We encourage all Academy members who
are interested in organizational communications and information systems
issues to join us to learn about the division and meet OCIS members. The
OCIS Executive Committee would like to acknowledge the generous
support of the following sponsors of the 2011 program: Syracuse University

Forgiveness & Reconciliatation: What Will Help You to Forgive
Me? Monday, Aug 15 2011 3:00PM - 4:30PM at Grand Hyatt in
Bonham C Chair: Sheli Sillito; Brigham Young U.
The Forgiving Organization: Building and Benefiting From a
Culture of Forgiveness Author: Ryan Fehr; U. of Washington,
Seattle; Winner of CM Division Best Paper Award - New
Directions
Forgiveness is a powerful social force with lasting consequences
for victims and offenders. Nonetheless, theory on forgiveness as
an organizational phenomenon has lagged. In response to this
concern, we introduce the construct of forgiveness culture as an
organizational affordance and constraint. Forgiveness culture
emergence is traced to three key values – relationality,
temperance, and dignity – that are cultivated through leaders and
organizational structures. Helping, building, and creating are in
turn examined as its primary behavioral consequences.
The Effects of Observed Forgiveness and Discipline on
Teammate Forgiveness and Team Perceptions Author: Lukas
B. Neville; Queen's School of Business, Canada; Author: Susan E.
Brodt; Queen's U.
In the wake of a workplace trust violation, victims may choose to
forgive a transgressor rather than nurse a grudge. Little research
has considered how the victim‘s choice to forgive influences the
perceptions and interpersonal motives of teammates who witness a
trust breach and its aftermath. In an experimental vignette study,
we test how forgiveness interacts with the type of discipline faced
by the transgressor (forbearing, retributive or restorative) to shape
teammates‘ own forgiveness of the transgressor, their intention to
punish the transgressor, their identification with the team, and
their perceptions of the team‘s justice and cohesion.
The Blame-taker's Dilemma: Actions and Reactions in the Wake
of Organizational Failure Author: Brian C. Gunia; Northwestern
U.;
Winner of CM Division Best Student Paper Award & William H.
Newman Award Nominee
In the wake of negative organizational events, research directs the
involved actors to apologize. However, ―apologies‖ often
Academy of Management News June 2011
Volume 42, Issue 2
communicate two, distinct messages: responsibility (they take
blame) and regret (they express remorse). Though theoretically
and practically distinguishable, taking blame and expressing
remorse, independently, have not received much research
attention. This leaves an important gap, as organizational actors
often do one without the other. My research focuses on blametaking, examining its independent incidence and effectiveness
after a common event: a failure with multiple causes.
Study 1 investigated incidence, asking consultants to reflect on a
failure that they had personally experienced. Their responses
suggested that blame-taking is rare and confined to leaders and
minor failures.
Study 2 sampled separate consultants from the same firm; they
reacted to someone who took blame or expressed remorse for the
Study 1 stories. Notwithstanding its scarcity, blame-taking was
roundly rewarded by the Study 2 participants, in comparison to
remorse.
With a sample of working adults, Study 3 replicated these effects
and documented a reason: blame-taking establishes an actor‘s
character more than remorse. Overall, this research highlights a
potential disconnect between what organizational actors do and
what others want them to do. People appear quite reluctant to take
blame, even though their counterparts would almost uniformly
welcome it.

HR Division Highlights
The HR Division again has innovative and exciting sessions planned for the upcoming
Conference in San Antonio. Please check out these outstanding examples across Professional
Development Workshops, All-Academy Sessions, and Scholarly Programs.
Taking Stock and Looking Forward: The HR-Performance Research Agenda over the Next
Twenty Years
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 13 2011 2:15PM - 5:15PM, Grand Hyatt in Crockett A & B
Scholars of human resource management, industrial relations, and strategic management have for
many years shared a common goal of understanding how the management of human capital
affects the operational and financial performance of organizations. One stream of this research
has specifically focused on how bundles of HR practices, often referred to as high performance
work systems (HPWS), high involvement work systems, and high commitment work systems,
relate to organizational performance via their effects on human capital. On average, this research
has found a small but positive relationship between sets of certain practices in the HR system and
business unit and firm-level outcomes (Combs, Liu, Hall, & Ketchen, 2006). However, this work
has been characterized by a number of persistent theoretical and methodological challenges that
need to be better addressed to facilitate continued progress.
For purposes of focusing the PDW, we organize the main part of the program around three
selected challenges:
1. Heavy reliance on the resource-based view of the firm to the exclusion of other theoretical
frameworks.
2. Theoretical/methodological issues related to how human capital mediates the HR systembusiness performance relationship; and
3. Theoretical/methodological issues of endogeneity and causality.
We invite distinguished scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to participate in an
interactive dialogue regarding these challenges, discussing potential solutions or even ―ideal
studies‖ that could enhance this research. We also provide an opportunity for panelists and
participants to identify other research problems and opportunities as fuel for current discussion
and for possible inclusion in a future PDW.Pre-registration is required for this workshop.

AOM Ambassadors: East meets West in the Academy through Collaborative Research
Scheduled: Sunday, Aug 14 2011 4:30PM - 6:00PM, San Antonio Convention Center 202B
The Academy of Management membership profile is at a significant point in the history of the
organization, where more new members are from outside of the US than within it. In the near
future, the majority of the total membership of AOM will be from outside of the US. In this
context it is very important for us to identify sustainable mechanisms for integrating and
engaging our global membership, and to develop and disseminate knowledge that is relevant to
management scholars operating outside of the U.S. context.This symposium session is geared
toward leaders and active members from all Academy Divisions. The goal is to describe the
development and results of an approach that has been successful in addressing the need for a
more integrated global membership in which West really does meet East:
The HR Division's Ambassadors Program Research Meets Practice: Networking Among
HR Professionals
Scheduled: Monday, August 15, 5:30 – 8:30pm, Grand Hyatt, Lone Star F
HR Researchers: Are you interested in connecting with practicing professionals to better
understand how they apply your research and find potential participants for future studies? HR
Practitioners: Are you looking for research-based guidance for your work in human resources
from some of the leading researchers in the field? This exciting and innovative session will
feature participants and several speakers from the local chapters of the Society for Human
Resource Management (SHRM), International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI), and
American Society for Training and Development (ASTD). Researchers will share the latest in
evidence-based guidelines and suggest ways to apply this evidence in practice; practicing
professionals will describe how they apply evidence in their work and discuss opportunities for
future collaboration.
This networking event follows the popular Cracker Barrel format, in which each table features a
different speaker and participants can sample as many as three presentations on areas of interest.
This format encourages interaction between speakers and participants— and creates a
comfortable environment for networking.

Business Expert Press Seeking Authors
Business Expert Press is seeking authors across all topics and disciplines within management.
For authoring guidelines, please visit businessexpertpress.com
Business Expert Press‘s focus is on producing concise, academically sound, applied books aimed
at providing supplemental reading for undergraduate and MBA business education as well as for
the business executive education marketplace, an underserved market segment. These short
books (150 pages on average) will be used in executive education, and as supplementary material
in undergraduate and MBA programs. They might also be useful for the professional market. The
books will be supplemented, as necessary, with cases, articles, newsletters and podcasts, and to
this end BEP distributes its books through University Readers, Study.net and Xanedu – the
leading providers of course packs.
There are several reasons why you might want to consider contributing to one of our
management collections, such as strategic management or entrepreneurship. You could use such
a book in your teaching, both in traditional settings and executive settings. The book could
enhance your consulting practice. It would give you an easy ―underlined item‖ on your vita.
Business Expert Press will sell your book both in print and in digital collections to the business
school libraries of the world. The library market is large – 7000 libraries globally – and the
prices paid for these one-time sales are relatively high when compared to one-time, direct-toconsumer sales. Thus they yield good royalty potential.
As you might know from your own executive teaching and/or consulting experiences or those of
your colleagues, the material available for this market segment is sparse. Most educators rely on
extracts from textbooks, articles, readings, cases, etc. all, often, precariously tied together in
custom packets. It has been Business Expert Press‘s experience that the best executive
education/MBA teachers often distribute some of their own work in these custom packets. You
might already have your own ―technical notes‖ that you ask your students to read or your own
PowerPoint presentations that you use to teach specific topics. These materials can serve as the
starting point of a short book.
Our collection editors will guide you through topic selection, assist you in achieving the
appropriate tone in your writing, and then support you through the production process.
Professional editors will also help you polish the manuscript. Business Expert Press employs a
quick, 120-day production timeline. All editors and operations are based in the United States.
Business Expert Press is headed by David Parker, formerly editor-in-chief for business
publishing with Pearson Education. David published more than 10 successful first editions with
Pearson and in three years as the head of BEP has already signed more than 165 books and
published more than 70 books with leading authors in many fields of business.

Call for Nominations: The Everett Cherrington Hughes Award for Careers Scholarship
The Hughes award recognizes scholarship which has made a significant contribution to the task
of linking careers theory with the broader field of organization studies. It is the Careers
Division‘s premier award, a way of honoring those of our colleagues who have worked to build
bridges between careers and other areas of organizational enquiry. There is no requirement,
express or implied, that the recipient of the award be a current or former member of the Careers
Division, or of the Academy. The aim of this award is to acknowledge the work of scholars who
have forged, rather than severed, connections between careers and other fields of social inquiry.
The award carries, with the permission of his family, the name of Everett Cherrington Hughes.
It does so to commemorate his seminal role in establishing careers as an object of scholarly
study, but more particularly because it rewards the kind of contribution his work embodied. Past
recipients of the award are: Ed Schein, Tim Hall, Lotte Bailyn, Mike Arthur, Jeff Greenhaus,
Barbara Lawrence, and Kathy Kram.
Nomination materials should be emailed to committee chair Maury Peiperl at
Maury.Peiperl@imd.ch The following information is required for a nomination to be considered
and must be emailed as one unit by the May 13th deadline:
(1) letter of support from primary nominator,
(2) a copy of the nominee‘s vita,

Letters of support should clearly detail how the nominee meets the requirements of this honor.
Also, in addition to organizing the nomination, the primary nominator is responsible for
communicating with the nominee and with those who write letters of support. Please remember
that the award committee does not use a rolling nomination procedure. Thank you in advance for
your participation in this important process. Please email Maury Peiperl with any questions.

Introducing the Diversity & Inclusion Theme Committee
Last fall, AOM President Susan Jackson formed a committee to
help ensure that the Academy fully supports and leverages the
scholarly contributions of its diverse members. The newly formed
Diversity & Inclusion Theme Committee (D&ITC) includes
Quinetta Roberson (Committee Chair), Yvonne Benschop,
Bernardo Ferdman, Patrick McKay, Isabel Metz, Ed Ng, Stella
Nkomo, and Lynn Shore (PDW Chair).
The mission of the D&ITC is to provide learning and outreach opportunities across the Academy
of Management that foster a more diverse and inclusive community in which all members are
involved in, and contribute to, the growth and success of the organization. Our mission is guided
by these values and principles:
• Diversity is all of the multiple lines of difference that characterize our current and future
membership.
• Inclusion means that all members have the opportunity to be represented, to have their voices
heard and valued, and to influence on AOM.
• Inclusion requires identifying and removing barriers to all members‘ full participation in the
activities and decision-making of AOM.
• The growth and success of AOM are dependent upon having a globally diverse perspective and
broadening the scope and impact of our field.
• AOM will be strengthened and improved to the degree that we incorporate the knowledge and
perspectives of its diverse memberships and constituents.
Over the next 3 years, the committee will be working to:
1 Increase the awareness, importance, and impact of diversity and inclusion in AOM in a
sustainable manner.
2. Identify and remove systemic, structural, and social barriers to diversity and inclusion in
AOM.
3. Promote diversity and inclusion in AOM by increasing the representation, involvement and
access of underrepresented groups at all levels.
4. Act as a resource to the AOM community by disseminating guidelines and tools on diversity
and inclusion.
5. Support the career development of underrepresented groups in AOM by offering professional
development, networking opportunities, and access to mentoring.
6. Provide opportunities for dialogue, mutual learning, and cooperation among AOM members
worldwide with different backgrounds.
7. Have an impact beyond the annual AOM meeting by undertaking outreach activities to
increase diversity and inclusion worldwide.

Africa Academy of Management
On 11th August, 2011, a day before the start of the Academy Of Management Annual
conference, the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM) will hold its inaugural miniconference in San Antonio at the Hyatt Hotel.
AFAM has been set up with the purpose of developing and improving member‘s capabilities for
research and teaching management in organisations in Africa as well as to promote research and
education about management and organisations in Africa.
This conference shall bring together scholars in Africa and those outside of Africa to present and
discuss the particular nature of managing in Africa, philosophies under-pinning management and
organisational theory in Africa and the challenges of doing research in Africa with a view of
creating a new interest and commitment to advancing and supporting management education and
research in Africa.
This will provide AFAM and AOM a significant platform to build on, an opportunity to connect
with and learn more about management and organisations in Africa. The inaugural miniconference will bring together for the first time pioneers of research on management and
organisations in Africa with junior management scholars from the African continent and those
AOM members who engage in or who have an interest in research on management and
organisations in Africa.
AFAM therefore invites you to come and learn more about management in Africa and also
explore the opportunity to collaborate with scholars who do research on Africa as well as forge
links with business schools and universities in Africa. For more information about this
conference visit our website:http://africaacademyofmanagement.org/or email:

Go green...go electronic!
Log in to ―MY AOM‖ today and change your journal delivery options.
Are you taking advantage of AOM‘s ―electronic-only‖ delivery option? Currently, a very small
percentage of our membership utilizes this option. Here‘s something else you should know: each
member receiving all 4 journals in print uses approximately 48% of one 40 ft tall 6-8 inch
diameter tree annually. Switching to electronic delivery of our journals can cut our individual
carbon footprint by nearly 40% each year.
Electronic delivery options are the best way to ensure timely receipt of your journal, enhance
portability of content and store your own personal, growing library of AOM articles. With the
electronic delivery option, you will receive an e-mail notification containing the table of contents
with links to the full-text electronic versions of all articles. This notification will be sent to the email address specified in your membership profile.

Perceived Organizational Support Fostering Enthusiastic and Productive Employees
By Robert Eisenberger, PhD and Florence Stinglhamber, PhD
$69.95 ISBN 978-1-4338-0933-0
Order through APA's website, or through any major book distributor
Today's constantly changing work environment is fraught with job uncertainty, frequent
mergers and acquisitions, and a general breakdown of trust between employer and employee.
More than ever, it is critical for managers to proactively shift away from devaluing employees
as marginal capital to empowering them as human capital. "Perceived organizational support"
— employees' perception of how much an organization values their contribution and cares
about their well-being — mutually benefits both employees and their organizations and is
integral to sustainable employer–employee relationships.
Using organizational support theory and evidence gathered from hundreds of studies,
Eisenberger and Stinglhamber demonstrate how perceived organizational support affects
employees' well-being, the positivity of their orientation toward the organization and work, and
behavioral outcomes favorable to the organization. The authors illustrate these findings with
employee experiences and strategic approaches of major organizations such as Southwest
Airlines, Wal-Mart, Costco, and Google.
Organizational psychologists, management consultants, managers, and graduate students will
obtain a clear understanding of perceived organizational support and the practical knowledge
needed to foster its development and positive outcomes.

like to help others publish, can benefit from this book.
