AOM Africa Conference
Africa Conference News
Dear colleagues:
The Academy of Management Africa Conference is
right around the corner. Please mark your calendars
for January 7 – 10, 2013 and better yet, plan to join
us in Johannesburg, South Africa. All manner of
people have been working for months -- and in some
cases, years -- to bring the dream of an Africa
conference to life. I can guarantee that this
conference will be very different from any Academy
of Management meeting you have ever attended. If our August meeting is about
hearing established teams of collaborators discuss the results of their research, this
conference will be about finding questions worth asking and then building research
teams to answer them.
While four program tracks provide the intellectual structure for conference, the core of
the event will be what we call “experiential learning journeys.” These trips will give
our attendees the opportunity to directly experience the sides of Africa implicated by
the four themes. When not on a “journey,” people will be treated to a robust program
of thematically-oriented workshops, symposia and paper sessions, as well as a
collection of plenary presentations, interactive activities, and group discussions
designed to stimulate conversation and new research. Of course, we will also have
plenty of time to reflect on our experiences and build new relationships. Colleagues
from thirty-nine countries on six continents have had their work accepted on the
program. Please check out our great website to learn more.
Registration is limited, but a few spaces remain. Visit the AOM Africa Conference
registration page to learn more about the registration process. The deadline to sign up
for this unique conference is October 30. If you have any questions, please reach out to
our conference organizers at: globalconference@aom.pace.edu.
I look forward to seeing many of you in South Africa this January!
Sincerely,
Jim Walsh
Academy of Management Africa Conference Program Committee
Former President, Academy of Management

2013 Annual Conference
The 73rd Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management,
August 9 – 13, 2013, Lake Buena Vista (Orlando)
I feel honored to be the Program Chair and to work with you all
in organizing our 73rd Annual Meeting. In this letter, I want to
tell you a bit about the Theme we have chosen for the meeting
and about some of the organizational changes we’ve made to
the program.
“Capitalism in Question”: What’s behind the theme?
The Academy of Management’s vision statement says that we
aim “to inspire and enable a better world through our
scholarship and teaching about management and
organizations.” The recent economic and financial crises, austerity, and
unemployment, and the emergence of many economic, social, and environmental
protest movements around the world have put back on the agenda some big questions
about this vision: What kind of economic system would this better world be built on?
Would it be a capitalist one? If so, what kind of capitalism? If not, what are the
alternatives? Although most of our work does not usually ask such “big” questions, the
assumptions we make about the corresponding answers deeply influence our research,
teaching, and service.
Three features differentiate capitalism from previous economic systems in history: (a)
market competition among profit-driven firms, (b) wage employment within these
firms, and (c) limited government over them. Each of these features is associated with
important benefits but also with important economic, social, and environmental costs.
Partly in response to these costs, some countries have evolved variants of capitalism
that differ from the canonical “free market” form, and some people argue that these
differences should be enlarged — broadening the objectives of the firm to encompass
social and environmental goals, deepening the participation of employees in
management decision-making, and strengthening government’s regulatory role. More
radical critics argue that these reforms are insufficient: they urge replacing competition
with collaboration, wage employment with cooperative ownership, and limited
government with economic planning. Proponents of free-market capitalism respond
that such reforms, whether more modest or more radical, endanger both economic
growth and individual liberty.
While some aspects of these debates may be beyond our professional expertise, much
of our work on organization, strategy, human resources, and behavior is directly
relevant. Conversely, many aspects of these debates are directly relevant to the practice
of management and therefore to our scholarship. Indeed, if, as researchers and teachers,
we assume the inevitability of the prevailing economic system, we blind ourselves to
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
the important issues posed by that system and turn our backs on debates prompted by
calls to change it.
As sketched in more detail on the full Call on the conference website
(http://meeting.aomonline.org/2013/), these issues span a broad spectrum of our
members’ interests:
* Macro-oriented scholars might explore how the basic features of capitalism become
taken for granted, how they shape organization structures, when and how their takenfor-grantedness breaks down, and how variants of and alternatives to capitalism
emerge.
* Strategy scholars might explore the role of market competition in narrowing or
broadening enterprise goals, the impact of market forces on traditionally not-for-profit
domains such as education and healthcare, and differences in enterprise governance
and goals across economic systems.
* Micro-oriented scholars might explore how the prevailing economic system affects
modes of thought and feeling within individuals, management processes within
organizations, and collaboration and competition within and between work units and
firms.
The issues raised by our theme are of theoretical, empirical, and practical importance
across the full range of Academy divisions and interest groups. Moreover, our
international membership affords us a broad perspective, as economic systems vary
across regions. And these issues are of practical importance to managers, employees,
and the other stakeholders in our scholarly enterprise. I look forward to your
contributions and to a lively debate in Orlando.
How can you contribute to the Theme?
The Theme is the focus of the meeting’s Sunday program of All-Academy Theme
(AAT) Symposia and PDWs. I am working with a wonderful committee to design this
program: Gerald Davis (Univ. of Michigan), Thomas Kochan (MIT), Carrie Leana
(Univ. of Pittsburgh), and Stella Nkomo (Univ. of Pretoria). We look forward to seeing
your submissions!
Submissions to the AAT program should focus on issues that are of interest to a broad
AOM audience. This year, unlike previous years, there are two routes rather than one
for submissions to the AAT program: (a) about half the program will be organized
directly by the AAT committee based on submissions made directly to it; (b) the other
half of the program will be selected from among submissions forward by the
Divisional Program and PDW chairs from among submissions that they have already
accepted for their own program and that they feel might best represent their Division’s
contribution to the Theme.
If you have an idea for an All-Academy session, we recommend that you communicate
it in writing to me (padler@usc.edu) soon as possible, and no later than December 14,
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
2012. In your email, please describe the session, including the topic, key questions and
ideas, format, and presenters you have in mind. With the help of my committee, I will
advise you on which of the two routes to take. In either case, a full proposal will need
to be submitted via the AOM submission system (http://submissions.aomonline.org) by
January 15 2013, 5PM EST. For more information and submission guidelines, please
visit the 2013 Annual Meeting website, http://meetings.aomonline.org/2013.
The Scholarly program
The All-Academy Theme is only one piece of our program in Orlando. Apart from that
Sunday program, we have a full program of PDWs on Friday and Saturday, and
scholarly papers and symposia on Monday and Tuesday. Your Division and Interest
Group program chairs are eager to see your submissions to these parts of the program.
The full AOM Call for Submissions will be published in mid-October and sent to the
entire membership. For those of you who are ready to contribute, you can submit
starting on November 6 when the submission system opens. You have until January 15
at 5:00 PM EST to submit. But PLEASE don’t wait until the very last minute: all sorts
of problems could get in the way of last-minute submissions (e.g. your internet goes
down, you get stuck in traffic, you have an emergency, etc.). The January 15th
deadline is firm. NO late submissions will be allowed.
Important changes to the Scholarly (Monday-Tuesday) program
After an extensive evaluation of the annual meeting program with feedback from
conference attendees and from the Division and Interest Group leaderships, we are
making a number of changes this year. They are meant primarily at creating a stronger
sense of community among us while streamlining and maximizing the program time
that we have. Specifically:
* The maximum number of review assignments has been changed from 9 to 6 (2
divisions, 3 assignments each) to avoid overloading reviewers.
* We will no longer have Cross-Divisional Paper sessions, nor Division Roundtable
paper sessions: these formats did not prove very successful.
* The Division Discussion Paper Sessions will be scheduled on Sunday afternoon.
* We are inviting Divisions to organize a division plenary session on Monday or
Tuesday, creating for whichever Divisions want it an extra time slot during which no
other Division-sponsor events will be programmed.
I am very excited about the 2013 Annual Meeting program. Building on the hugely
successful program in Boston, I can’t wait to see the exciting work that you will
contribute to what will surely be another energizing meeting.
Onward and upward,

Paul S. Adler
2013 Program Chair and Vice President
2013 Annual Conference
The Informal Economy: Reflections on the 2012 Academy of
Management Meeting
The 2012 Academy of Management’s success was a product of the goodwill and strong
efforts of many, many volunteers. In fact as we know, working in concert with AOM’s
outstanding staff, volunteers are the foundation on which our annual meetings are built
and carried out. Accordingly, please allow me to express my extremely sincere
appreciation to all the volunteers and to our staff—groups whose dedicated work made
our meeting in Boston the successful event that so many of us had an opportunity to
experience in person!
But let’s be more specific about aspects of our 2012 meeting. One way to do this of
course is to consider a few statistics. Perhaps one of the most impressive statistics we
can offer is the new attendance record of 11,231! From this total, we were pleased to
warmly welcome 1,821 first time attendees. We hope the meeting met the expectations
of each person who was in Boston and that you will plan to join us next August in
Orlando for the 73rd Annual Academy of Management meeting. (I’ll say a bit more
about next year’s meeting toward the close of this commentary; however, Paul Adler,
our 2013 program chair, provides details about next year’s theme and meeting
elsewhere in this newsletter.)
Being able to visit and work with so many colleagues is always an exciting experience.
Along with you, I know I was thrilled to see so many friends and colleagues while
“walking the halls” and going from “room to room” and “meeting to meeting” while in
Boston.
The scale and scope of the 2012 program are amazing. Consider for example, that
6,672 scholarly papers were received and reviewed as were 363 unique symposia
proposals. A total of 9,369 individuals were involved with developing these papers and
proposals. Once finalized, the program featured a total of 1,835 conference sessions. A
total of 85 countries were represented by those who participated in the program in one
or more roles. As is the case with the number of registrants, each of these totals
establishes a new record. Thus, as we see, a large number of our members truly were
involved in the Boston meeting! Thank you one and all for your great efforts! And of
course, many social events (of both a planned and spontaneous nature) also yielded a
wealth of opportunities to reconnect with old friends and to establish new friendships
and working partnerships with one or more of those who were attending their first
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
Academy meeting.
A More Formal “Thank You” To So Many!
As we noted above, many, many people were involved in making the 2012 meeting an
enjoyable and successful event. Because of their outstanding and timely service, it is
certainly appropriate for us to highlight these contributors and the nature of their
contributions. We’ll start by expressing our sincere appreciation to the more than 6,000
individuals who served as reviewers for the 2012 program. As we know, their work is
foundational to forming a program with the ability to serve members’ interests.
Individuals who served in leadership roles for different parts of the program also
deserve our sincere appreciation. In this regard, we first want to express our gratitude
to those who served as the program chair for a division or an interest group. The
program chair role demands a great deal of time, energy, and insight. We all benefit
greatly from these individuals’ commitment to forming programs through which
members have opportunities to be involved with fascinating topics. Bat Barjargal
chaired the All-Academy Theme committee. Johanna Mair, Debmalya (Deb)
Mukherjee, and Jordan Siegel joined Bat to form an excellent program featuring papers
and symposia dealing with the Informal Economy. Cynthia Cycyota and Hui Liao
joined Chair Theodore (Ted) Brown to serve as this year’s Caucuses Committee. The
Discussion Paper Session committee was chaired by John Humphreys who was joined
by Stephanie Pane and Russell Clayton. Finally, John Michel chaired the Cross
Divisional Paper Session committee and was joined in this effort by Chris Henle and
Hermann Ndofor.
In all cases, these colleagues worked tirelessly and with a strong dedication to task that
was a joy to experience. Thank you one and all for your excellent contributions to the
2012 program!
Finally, and on behalf of the entire Academy membership, I want to extend a very
sincere “thank you” to our staff. Truly, the annual meeting would not be possible
without the tireless and dedicated work of these professionals. Led and supported by
executive director Nancy Urbanowicz, we received countless contributions when
forming and then placing the meeting into action from Gabe Bramson, Taryn Fiore, Jel
Hampson, Kerry Ignatz, Jimmy Le, Megan Lisi, Terese Loncar, Kelly Mitchell, and
Matt Suppa. Thank you very much for being the backbone certainly during and of
course while planning for the Boston meeting. Truly, this event would not have been
possible without you.
Introducing the Informal Economy as Our Theme for 2012
As our theme, The Informal Economy was indeed integrated throughout the program’s
scholarly papers, different theme sessions (that is, the Caucuses, Discussion Paper
Sessions, Cross-Divisional Papers) and of course, the All-Academy Theme program. I
am truly hopeful that the topics that were examined during the different aspects of the
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
2012 program provided valuable opportunities for us to become more familiar with the
informal economy as an important area of research for management scholars.
During Sunday morning’s Presidential breakfast, I was pleased to have an opportunity
to “formally” introduce our meeting’s theme. Before doing this, I briefly addressed the
history of “themes” for our annual meeting, noting that 1987 was the first year for a
formal theme to be associated with the meeting. The theme that year was
“Internationalizing the Field of Management.” A theme has been used to frame each of
our annual meetings since 1987.
To introduce the theme for the 2012 meeting, I spent some time defining and
describing the informal economy. Given that to date most of our scholarly work is
embedded in and deals with the formal economy and individuals involved with it, this
approach seemed appropriate and reasonable. The topic’s importance is also indicated
by the fact that the informal economy accounts for significant percentages of economic
activity generated throughout the world’s many regions and countries.
After considering a few definitions, we noted that many agree that the informal
economy is concerned with economic units and workers that remain outside the world
of regulated economic activities and protected employment relationships. Moreover,
the informal economy is thought to have its own institutional codes, rules, and
regulations. Relatedly, we noted that an informal firm is a business that is unregistered
with one or more governmental entities with which it is obligated to register while
deriving income by producing and distributing goods or services. We noted too that a
defining characteristic of informal firms is their reliance on contracts, networks, and
ties that are more social than legal in nature. These definitions and descriptions of the
informal economy were used as a foundation for highlighting some of the informal
economy-related work that was presented during the Boston meeting.
I would also like to say that as our President, Anne Tsui delivered an inspiring address
during the Sunday breakfast. Titled “On Compassion: Why Should We Care?” Anne
engagingly challenged us as scholars and as members of the global community to be
both passionate and compassionate as we think about topics we choose to explore as
well as how we go about integrating the results of our efforts into the broader
community for the purpose of benefitting all. On behalf of our membership, I would
like to thank you Anne for placing our work within a broader and important context.
Pursuing Topics Related to the Informal Economy
As noted above, the informal economy accounts for significant percentages of the
economic activity in many of the world’s regions and countries. To cite only a few
statistics, some estimate that nonagricultural employment accounted for by the
informal economy is close to 80 percent in Africa, 57 percent in Latin America and the
Caribbean, and between 45 and 85 percent in Asia. To name only a few countries, the
informal economy may account for as much as roughly 67 percent of GDP in both
Georgia and Bolivia, 60 percent in Peru, and 40 percent in Columbia. In total, some
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
suggest that the value of economic activity accounted for by the informal economy
may be 10 trillion dollars, making it the second largest economy in the world.
Observing data such as these contribute to a view that “the informal economy is a force
to be reckoned with.”
As we look to the future, I would like to propose that for several reasons, we as
management scholars should study questions related to the informal economy. For
example, the informal economy’s boundary conditions clearly differ from those of the
formal economy. This difference yields a unique context in which to enhance our
understanding of contingent management practices as well as to examine or assess the
applicability of our management theories in a setting other than a formal economy.
Conducting research in the informal economy also creates a possibility for us to learn
more (both descriptively and prescriptively) about managerial practices where
regulatory influences are minimal. Additionally, one could argue that in light of the
likelihood that the informal economy is more permanent than transitory as a means of
generating economic activity, we need to produce scholarship with the potential to
affect policies at the macro level and practices at the firm and individual levels.
Clearly, the scope of questions we can pursue with respect to the informal economy is
broad and deep. Moreover, there is no doubt in my mind that the set of informal
economy-related topics to which management scholars can contribute is constrained
only by our imagination and energy.
Meeting in Orlando, Florida in 2013!
We hope that you have fond memories of your experiences during the Boston meeting.
Given the many discussions that were had about the Informal Economy during the
meeting, perhaps you will find yourself pursuing interesting research questions that are
associated with what some and possibly many of us see as a fascinating and rich topic.
In this regard, I do remain convinced that as management scholars, we can greatly
enhance our understanding of the Informal Economy through our scholarship. We wish
you all the best to those of you who choose to engage scholarly questions related to the
Informal Economy.
It is now time for us to shift our attention to the 2013 Academy of Management
meeting that will be held in Orlando, Florida. Elsewhere in this newsletter, Paul Adler
describes and explains Capitalism in Question, which is the theme for our next
meeting.
Thank you again for the true honor and privilege of serving as your program chair. The
most positive outcome of so many wonderful experiences while serving in this role has
been the opportunity to work closely with truly extraordinary individuals—all of whom
care so deeply about our Academy of Management.
I hope that each of you will have an exciting and productive year! And, I anticipate
joining you in Orlando for what I am confident will be an outstanding meeting.

c) Special thanks to the paper reviewers...
We had 101 papers and 15 symposia proposals submitted for the Boston meeting. Our
acceptance rate was about 50%. We would like to extend our thanks to our reviewers,
especially to colleagues who acted as emergency reviewers. If you have not reviewed
for the division before, or for a while, we would strongly encourage you to sign up and
to do so. It is a good way to contribute to the division’s work. It is a great act of
collegiality to offer your services as a reviewer and to provide a few paragraphs of
constructive comment that authors can use to develop their thinking.
(2) What’s important?
a) Division review survey
As part of the AOM Divisional/SIG review cycle, the CMS division will undergo a
review over the course of 2012/13. As part of this review, a survey of CMS division
members will be available online from October 15th 2012 so that you can give
feedback. We would strongly encourage you to take part in this important survey
which will impact the next five years of CMS division activities. . Please show us your
support and let your voice be heard!
b) Membership drive is on the way
Have you ever thought whether your colleagues or PhD students may be interested in
being a part of the AoM CMS circle? Our membership statistics have been decreasing
and we’d like to encourage others to consider joining us. Most of our members
understand membership might be enlarged to reflect the value/s of the Division within
the AoM community, our academic institutions, and societies in general. We are in the
process of developing some material for you to ask a colleague or two to join. Perhaps
some PhD students might be interested in joining? If you have any new ideas to
encourage others to join, we would love to hear it!
c) Capitalism in Question
Academy of Management News October 2012

MED 2012 Program Highlights
Boston Annual Meeting MED Division Program Highlights The MED Division had an
outstanding, well-attended, highly energetic meeting. Overall, we had a record number
of submissions this year, which enabled us to assemble an excellent group of papers
and symposia for our program. We began the conference by participating in a number
of new member orientation sessions. During these sessions we were able to introduce
new members to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
The PDW program consisted of 22 PDWs with MED as the primary sponsor. The
PDWS focused on a variety of topics including assessment, teaching with cases and
simulations, teaching basics such as feedback and syllabus design, developing manager
skills, and experiential learning (among others). During the 2012 conference, MED
also awarded a certificate of participation (in collaboration with the Teaching Theme
Committee) for participants that attended at least four eligible PDW sessions. Many of
the general MED sessions, especially our two Showcase Symposia, ‘Understanding
and Advancing the Informal Management Curriculum’ and ‘The Future of Business
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
and the Role of Business Education’, drew participants from across the academy.
Several hundred members joined us to hear our distinguished speaker, Henry
Mintzberg, delivered an original and provocative, yet constructively optimistic talk
titled Impact: From IMPact to IMpact. During our business meeting, the following
awards were given: MED Best Paper in Management Education Award Rockstar vs.

Wales) & Geoff Mortimore (Australian National U.) MED Best Paper in Graduate

members reaffirmed our Division’s reputation as the Fun Division as we enjoyed a
lively social reception. We are looking forward to the 2013 annual meeting.
Reflections on MCD in Boston
The Division’s 2012 program was our largest in over three years, with 4 traditional
paper sessions, 3 roundtable sessions, a discussion paper session, 10 cross-division
papers, and 5 symposia. There were so many highpoints during the program that it is
difficult to capture all of them. Combined with a well attended Doctoral Consortium
and an innovative PDW program, Boston provided a superb venue for a thoughtprovoking program.
This year marked the largest Members & Friends Dinner in our history, with 140
people attending (despite misguided directions, untimely rain, and, for some, an
inadvertent tour of the bowels of the Prudential Center). Held at the wonderful
Harvard Club of Boston, Peter Sorenson (Benedictine University), our speaker for the
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
evening, gave a moving talk that reflected on his career and the internationalization of
the division, filled with heartfelt memories of many of our colleagues.
Peter’s inspiring talk recaptured the spirit of the Members & Friends Dinner – which
began in 1995 (Vancouver) when Dave Jamieson “Honored the Founder” with his
interview with Bob Wright, one of the key individuals who created the Management
Consulting Division – and set the stage for a delightful evening. Monday began with a
tremendous start with a stellar Showcase Symposium on “Influential Research and
Practice in ODC Dynamics” with Dale Zand (New York University), Edgar Schein,
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Michael Beer (Harvard University), and
Warner Burke (Columbia University). A number of other insightful sessions rounded
out the program. A true highlight of the program was our Distinguished Speaker,
Rosabeth Moss Kanter, the Ernest L. Arbuckle Professorship at Harvard Business
School. With roughly 300 people attending the session, Rosabeth gave a thoughtprovoking talk wove together insights from her vast array of publications and projects
– including her recently published SuperCorp: How Vanguard Companies Create
Innovation, Profits, Growth, and Social Good; Confidence: How Winning Streaks &
Losing Streaks Begin & End, and When Giants Learn to Dance.
As the program chair for the 2012 meeting, I am especially appreciative of the
thoughtful – and timely – work of our many reviewers. I realize that the timing of the
submission and review process – right before the beginning of the spring semester –
can be a hectic and chaotic time, but the program would simply not be possible without
the dedication of our members and the time and effort you spend in reviewing papers
and symposia.
The vast majority of our member-reviewers provided stellar service, but there are five
individuals who I would like to highlight as our 2012 Outstanding Reviewers:
•
•
•
•
•
Rida Elias, Richard Ivey School of Business
David Ford, U. Alabama-Tuscaloosa
Virginia Gerde, Duquesne U.
Sally Sledge, Norfolk State U.
Ken Williams, Avalere Health LLC
Four Outstanding Paper Awards were also given out at the meeting:
Benedictine University Award for Outstanding Paper on Ethical Issues in
Consulting: Madina Rival, CNAM Paris and Richard Jackson Major, CERGAM,
Institute d’Administration des Enterprises d’Alix-en-Provence
Thomson South-Western Outstanding Research-Based Paper on Management
Consulting Award: Frida Pemer, Stockholm School of Economics & Tale Skjolsvik,

University of Oslo
Information Age Publishing Outstanding Doctoral Student Paper Award: Anna
Christina Littmann, EBS Business School Management Consulting Division
Outstanding Field Report Award: Dmitry Khanin, California State University-Fullerton
& Atul Teckchandani, California State University-Fullerton
Congratulations to all the winners. I’m already looking forward to the 2013 meeting in
Orlando. I’m sure that as our incoming program chair for next year, Joanne Preston
will receive the same level of good natured support and colleagueship that I received in
pulling together this year’s program. Start thinking about your submissions for next
year – Capitalism in Question – promises to be a thought-provoking theme for the
conference. Finally, initial plans are underway for our 6th International/European
conference on Management Consulting – mark your calendars for June 2014 in Lyon,
France (where we held our first conference in 2001). It promises to be another
stimulating event!

Call for Submissions - Special Issue on Inductive Research
The Journal of Business and Psychology is soliciting papers for a special issue on
inductive research.This special issue solicits paper submissions that describe studies
that are inductive rather than deductive, that is, they report results of studies that are
not positioned as tests of theories. This might include studies that describe phenomena
(e.g., the incidence of certain problems across organizations), or are exploratory (e.g.,
the study of new phenomena or phenomena that have received little attention). Also
appropriate for the special issue would be intervention studies that would not have a
strong theoretical basis. This might include a study demonstrating that a particular
intervention had an effect on an important organizational variable, such as task
performance.

Special Feature Editors

Neal Schmitt, Michigan State University
Paul Spector, University of South Florida
Robert Vandenberg, University of Georgia
Sheldon Zedeck, University of California Berkeley
Steven Rogelberg, University of North Carolina Charlotte
For the past two decades the field of organizational psychology has evolved
toward demanding more and more theory, making it increasingly difficult to publish
descriptive or exploratory research papers. The deductive approach now dominates
where editors and reviewers often demand that every paper must ground results in
theory-based hypotheses, and with some journals, that nearly every paper must make
an original theoretical contribution. Whereas there is no doubt that the deductive
approach has value, our science is also dependent upon the generation of data as the
raw material upon which new theories are based. Thus inductive approaches that focus
on observations not based on a priorí theory can be as valuable as observations
designed to test theory. Such inductive approaches are commonly found in medicine
and the natural sciences where many papers describe studies that are descriptive and
exploratory rather than confirmatory.
This special issue solicits paper submissions that describe studies that are
inductive rather than deductive, that is, they report results of studies that are not
positioned as tests of theories. This might include studies that describe phenomena
(e.g., the incidence of certain problems across organizations), or are exploratory (e.g.,
the study of new phenomena or phenomena that have received little attention). Also
appropriate for the special issue would be intervention studies that would not have a
strong theoretical basis. This might include a study demonstrating that a particular
intervention had an effect on an important organizational variable, such as task
performance.
As authors prepare their submissions for this special feature, it is important to

Papers are due by June 1, 2013
Papers should be submitted online to: http://jobu.edmgr.com/
As we recognize that this is not a typical call for papers, we encourage
authors to reach out with questions at any time (sgrogelb@uncc.edu).
A compelling rationale is essential to good inductive research.
For this special feature, our specific focus is on inductive research that is
quantitative in nature. We are also not seeking conceptual papers.
Seeking meaningful connections to extant literature is critical.
A paper must show how the results contribute to our understanding of the
phenomena of interest.
Good inductive research analyzes the data so as to rule out alternative
explanations.
Inductive research requires the authors to be highly transparent in their
analytic methods.
While inductive research typically follows the standard intro, methods,
results, and discussion format, it is not atypical to see in inductive research a
comparatively longer results and discussion section, and a comparatively shorter
introduction section than what is typical in deductive research.
We will be forming a special feature editorial board composed of individuals
open to inductive research so that all papers are reviewed fairly and
appropriately.
This special feature will also serve as a case-study of sorts of the inductive approach to
advancing our science. To that end, additional pieces will be included in the special
feature that discuss the challenges of inductive research from an author, reviewer, and
editor perspective.

Membership Corner Update
Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the entire Membership Committee, I’d like to
offer a very big Thank You to our outgoing Membership
Committee Chair, Stephanie Henagan! Stephanie’s leadership
over the past 3 years has made a remarkable contribution to
instituting all of our new Welcoming Initiatives at the Annual
Meeting, including the Adopt-a-Member Program, the
Hospitality Suite, and the New Member Orientations. Her
vision for giving all new members and first-time attendees the
opportunity for networking and feeling welcome at our very
large meeting has been met with resounding success!
The meeting in Boston was our biggest ever and I was delighted to have the
opportunity to meet so many new members and first time attendees in the Hospitality
Suite. There were 600 of you that stopped by over the course of 5 days to have your
questions answered, to chat about your research and to simply have some refreshments
between sessions. There were 185 mentees matched to mentors through our Adopt-aMember program, and we had over 200 new members at each of our Orientations. We
also had over 50 new members sign up to volunteer with either their Division or on a
theme committee.
But remember, the welcoming does not stop at the meeting as there is always someone
on our Member Services team to continue to answer any ongoing questions you might
have, or to assist you in finding out how you can get involved with the Academy. I can
only reiterate what’s been said before, that how you get involved is up to you, but it’s
the collective involvement of members that makes the Academy such a valuable
network. I encourage you to explore and take advantage of the significant opportunities
available to you! Don’t sit back and wait for the Academy to come to you, reach out to
your Division with an email and find out how you can get started.
The number one reason for belonging, according to our members, is the opportunity to
network with peers. As a new member you have several opportunities to begin
networking:
•
Your two complimentary division selections should represent your management
disciplinary 'home base' for your specific scholarly interests, as well as for
fellowship with members of similar academic and professional interests. Visit
your division's website to find out what they are currently doing and how you
can get involved. If you feel that you haven’t found the right fit, or you wish to
add new divisions or interest groups to your profile, simply contact the
Membership Department to have them either switch to those that you feel are
right, or assist you with how to add them to your profile.
•
Division listservs offer the opportunity to engage in active discussions with
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
your peers based on a common scholarly domain. To learn more about listservs
and to subscribe to those of your choice, visit the Academy website here.
•
Join the latest conversation or highlight what you're working on through AOM
Connect, the Academy's professional networking tool which allows you to
connect, collaborate and contribute with colleagues and friends around the
world. It’s another great opportunity to start meeting new colleagues with
similar interests
•
Submit a paper or serve as a reviewer for the annual meeting! This is a great
opportunity for attending valuable professional development sessions, as well
as some face-to-face networking with your colleagues. Stay tuned to the
Academy’s website, www.aom.org, over the next few weeks as detailed
information becomes available.
As Membership Chair, I’m very interested in learning how you've heard about us, and
what your own personal goals and expectations of membership might be? Please share
your thoughts with me because your expectations bring great value to our own
planning in what is of interest to our members. I look forward to serving all of you
throughout my term, so please stay in touch!
Warmest Regards,
Gemma George, Membership Committee Chair

We're being reviewed! After a great 2012, fascinating questions for 2013.
IG Review and Member Survey
As we enter our third year, the Strategizing Activities and Practice IG will be going
through the standard Academy of Management review process. This is a great
opportunity to consider our own strategy and performance. Look out for the
Academy’s IG member survey coming soon, and let us know what you think about the
IG and where it should be going. The more survey feedback, the better!
2013 Academy of Management: Capitalism and SAP.
Next year’s theme for the Academy’s Orlando meeting is ‘Capitalism in Question’. This
plays to the SAP group’s interest in the nature of strategy practices in different
institutional contexts and in the possibilities of innovative strategy practices in
changing contexts. As well as our usual themes, therefore, our calls for papers,
symposia and Professional Development Workshops will also be encouraging
contributions on strategy practices in new or different forms of capitalist and other
economic systems. We have a very international membership, so we should be able
to harness perspectives from all around the world on these issues.
Congratulations and Thank You.
The SAP IG attracted 87 paper submissions and 12 symposium submissions for the
2012 Academy, all requiring reviewing. The SAP community prides itself on the
constructive nature of its reviews – it’s good for authors and great for the stream as a
whole. So let’s start with a thank you to all our reviewers and a special one for
Viviane Sergi (HEC Montreal), SAP Best Reviewer 2012. Look out for the opportunity
to sign up to review for 2013.
Congratulations too for the following winners of the various best paper categories.
The SAP best doctoral student paper: Felix Werle (doctoral student) and David Nils
Seidl, University of Zurich, ‘Inter-organizational strategizing as extension of
sensemaking.’
The SAP best Practice-orientated paper: Helene Loe Colman, Katja Hydle and Randi
Lunman (BI Norwegian Business School), ‘Who we are and what we do: Strategizing
and identity work in post-acquisition integration’.
The SAP best paper overall: A. Paul Spee (University of Sydney), Paula Jarzabkowski
(Cornell University) and Michael Smets (Aston Business School), ‘Keeping it real:
Bringing sociomateriality into Strategy-as-Practice’.
And a final thank you to Curtis LeBaron (BYU), our outgoing chair, for coordinating a

Management Professor Receives 2012 Innovation in
Entrepreneurship Pedagogy Award
Dr. Linda M. Sama, Associate Dean of the Tobin
College of Business and Joseph F. Adams Professor of
Management has received the 2012 Innovation in
Entrepreneurship Pedagogy Award from the Academy
of Management (AOM) Entrepreneurship Division and
McGraw Hill in recognition of her social
entrepreneurship course, GLOBE (Global Loan
Opportunities for Budding Entrepreneurs).This award, presented to individuals who
develop and implement an innovation in entrepreneurship pedagogy for either graduate
or undergraduate education, was presented at the annual Academy of Management
Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. The AOM received 27 nominations for the
award and chose to honor GLOBE due to its unique delivery, systemic change
potential and hands-on learning approach. The award included a cash prize, which Dr.
Sama has donated to GLOBE.
GLOBE is a student-managed microloan program that provides loans, sourced through
donations, to entrepreneurs in the world’s most impoverished communities with the
goal of helping those living in poverty elevate themselves to a higher standard of
living. Class members act as social entrepreneurs as they manage a business with social
aims. Students concurrently learn about the intricacies of micro-lending policies in the
developing world and the value of a social business in helping the poor in society to
help themselves. To date, GLOBE operates in four countries on two continents and has
distributed 37 loans, including one 14-person group loan, benefitting a total of 51
borrowers. Upon receiving the AOM-McGraw Hill award, Dr. Sama commented on
the dual benefits of the program. “In transforming the lives of others, GLOBE
simultaneously transforms students and their world view. No longer can they believe
in the futility of one person’s efforts. Their every action makes a difference, and the
impact from what occurs in a classroom here in Queens is felt on the other side of the
world.”
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
In addition to the GLOBE program and multiple academic contributions, Dr. Sama has
recently initiated the establishment of a Center for Global Business Stewardship in the
Tobin College designed to develop, promote and showcase the research, learning and
practice activities of faculty, students, alumni and global scholars related to socially
responsible business leadership. The Center, co-directed by Dr. Mitch Casselman, will
encompass programs that provide students with the opportunity to study global issues
within a business context and develop ideas to improve global ethical business.

Academic Insights - Professor Steve Brown on Operations
Management
Academy of Management News October 2012
Volume 43, Issue3
Steve Brown is a Professor of Management at the
University of Exeter Business School, and a Visiting
Professor at Baruch College, City University, New York
and at NIMBAS in Holland.
He is also Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of
Operations & Production Management (IJOPM).
We interviewed Professor Brown earlier this month to gain
his insights on the latest and upcoming research in the field.
What do you consider to be the most exciting paper published in IJOPM so far in
2012?
There are two papers that come to mind. All of the papers published in IJOPM these
days are of very high quality, but my two favourite papers are:
1. Buyer-supplier relationships in a servitized environment: An examination with
Cannon and Perreault's framework
Marko Bastl, Mark Johnson, Howard Lightfoot, Steve Evans
2. Cross-functional integration and performance: what are the real benefits?
Virpi Turkulainen, Mikko Ketokivi
Both are very well written, show a good understanding of the literature, and deal with
complex issues. The first paper by Bastl, et al draws upon a model of buyer-supply
relationships from Cannon and Perreault (1999) and then integrates and applies this
within their own paper. It is very well done. The second paper questions the
conventional wisdom of cross functional integration and then provides good primary
evidence across a range of parameters. Similar to the first paper, it shows a very good
understanding of the key issues grounded in the literature.
Are there any key themes that you are particularly interested in receiving submissions
on for upcoming issues?
We have deliberately changed the focus away from operations research to operations
management. We welcome papers that shed light on managing some of the many
complexities of business in an era noted for volatile markets and perpetual change.
Good insights into how operations can help to manage within these volatile market
conditions are welcome. We encourage papers on manufacturing and services. We’re
keen to see more papers on operations management within the public sector.
Academy of Management News October 2012

We have received good feedback on the Masters Series where we interview top
professionals in the field. We have already run an interview with Terry Hill. Wickham
Skinner and other major writers in the field have kindly agreed to be involved and the
process is underway for several more of these interviews.
IJOPM currently has an Impact Factor of 1.812 (its highest ever) and a ranking of 51st
out of 144 journals listed in the Management category of ISI’s Web of Knowledge.
You must be delighted with the progress IJOPM is making and its status. What do you
think the future holds for the journal?
Naturally, we are delighted to see that the Impact Factor has risen to its highest level
but we want it to be even higher. We think the repositioning of the Journal will help to
differentiate it from other competing journals in the subject. We hope that the Journal
will be cited in mainstream strategy and other top management journals to enhance its
reputation.
The editorial team works very hard to make sure that the journal is a success. The
rejection rate for the journal is on a par with other top rated journals. We do our very
best to ensure that the review process runs as quickly and as smoothly as possible at all
times. All new papers are reviewed within one week and initial decisions are made at
that point.
The future is very bright for the Journal and, as ever, we are dependent upon the
excellence of the papers coming into the system as well as the professionalism of the
reviewers on whom we depend. I continue to be impressed by the high quality overall
and we are grateful that our academic colleagues take the time and effort to produce
such good reviews.
