Election 2015

2015 Board of Governors Election Dear Academy of Management Friends: The Academy’s election website is now open for the purpose of accepting your votes. This website will be open from February 16 – March 31, 2015. Please allow me to strongly encourage you to vote in this election for the purpose of selecting three Representativesat-Large and a new Vice President Elect and Program Chair Elect to the Board of Governors. Each ballot being presented to you features an impressive group of proven leaders who have demonstrated their strong commitment to our association’s vision and mission. We are indeed fortunate that each of them is willing to continue their service in these important Academy roles. As we begin the election, please be respectful of AOM’s campaigning philosophy, which values elections that are free of active “politicking” by voting members and nominees. It is certainly appropriate to ask fellow members of the Academy for further information about a candidate whom you do not know; but, active campaigning is inconsistent with our professional norms. Thank you for deciding to vote in this election. By voting, you are participating in the shaping of our Academy’s future. For more information about the elections process, please visit the nominations and elections page of the AOM website.

Fostering the Passion for Teaching to Inspire Lifelong Learning Claudia Ferrante, U.S. Air Force Academy and Chair, Teaching Theme Committee As scholars in the Academy of Management (AOM), we are often asked what drives our enthusiasm for and dedication to our careers. Is it our ability to discover new connections among constructs through our research? Is it being able to share our knowledge derived from research and experience with our students through teaching? For many of us, it is both. We love our careers and view them as opportunities to engage in scholarship while fostering our passion for teaching. Being able to engage students through leading-edge critical thinking and practical application of content theory is paramount to both enjoying our students and our time in the classroom. We work to create interactive learning environments in which students are active participants. We give students an understanding of the relevance and practicality of textbook concepts and how they apply to their careers and personal lives. Watching our students’ spark for learning ignite and their intellectual curiosity expand is truly rewarding as we set them on their path to lifelong learning and development. Fortunately for AOM members, there are many resources available to assist our work in the

classroom, and many other colleagues who share our enthusiasm for teaching. The Academy of Management’s Teaching Theme Committee (TTC) comprises individuals who are truly passionate about teaching and enthusiastic about sharing successful classroom techniques, exercises, case studies, approaches for student engagement, curriculum development and many other teaching-oriented resources. Our members take on our “charge” to “raise the visibility of teaching as an important professional activity within the Academy” with zeal and enthusiasm. Each year, the TTC sponsors and co-sponsors Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) at the Annual Meeting, and our members welcome new members to the Academy via New Member Orientation sessions; share their excitement for teaching with individuals new to doctoral studies through the New Doctoral Student Consortium; and serving as Meeting Mentors to those attending our Annual Meeting for the first time. In Vancouver, the TTC will sponsor seven PDWs, including discussions on experiential learning; teaching with interactive assignments; creating dynamic and effective learning environments through syllabus and course design; using technology to create more open classroom governance; incorporating virtual experiences into the classroom;

exploring online global education for MBA’s and executives; and reflecting on changes and advances in teaching and learning environments since our last meeting in Vancouver 20 years ago. Our Business Meeting provides an opportunity to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and plan for the future. We welcome you to join our conversations. The Teaching and Learning Conference at the Academy of Management (TLC@ AOM) provides an opportunity to attend a “conference within a conference” to support members’ teaching-related needs and the practice of teaching. This year’s conference promises to provide highly dynamic and interactive sessions that explore teaching techniques, classroom and student management methods, and other practices relevant to multiple Academy divisions and interest groups. Held on Sunday during the Annual Meeting, it offers a block of time to connect with each other while engaging in thought-provoking discussions on how to enhance teaching and learning for our students, colleagues, and ourselves. Whether you’ve been a member of the Academy for years or are new to this phenomenal organization of scholars, we hope you’ll join us in Vancouver and become caught up in the excitement of teaching and learning.

Preparing Students to Use LinkedIn to Connect to Experts Charles Wankel, St. John’s University, [email protected] To make your students professional-level LinkedIn users, you might adapt the following assignments: 1. Join the social networking group LinkedIn by going to LinkedIn.com. Develop a profile that describes you in an interesting and professional way. Your profile should have a picture. After you join, “link up” with others by hovering your cursor over the “Connections” tab below the search box on the top of your profile. Then click the “Add Connections” drop-down option. Click “Any Email” and then “Invite by Individual Email.” Then, enter my email address to send me an invitation to join your LinkedIn network.

As management increasingly involves new technologies, it becomes incumbent upon us as instructors to keep our students abreast of the various uses and opportunities presented to them. Many are aware of social media’s advances in marketing, but few consider management applications. Many users are aware of an important social medium, such as LinkedIn, without understanding its full scope and power. Most know that people can find jobs through LinkedIn but how this happens is often not apparent. Social media are ideal for throwing students in until they can learn to swim. That said, giving them an overview of how to swim around in a social medium, such as LinkedIn, can enable them to proceed more adeptly and effectively.

2. Post your email address in Blackboard to enable other students to connect on LinkedIn. 3. Join Our University’s alumni LinkedIn group by searching for it in the “Groups” search located on the pop-down menu to the left of the search box. Search for Our University and you will arrive at its group pages. Use the blue “Join” button to request to join any of the groups you see, such as the alumni group. Click to join, and your request will go to the group manager for approval. After you are approved as a member, using the advanced search utility (to the right of the main search pane), you can readily contact other group members without knowing their email address for such things as adding them as a connection. So, if you are interested in

10

working in publishing with an editor, you can put the word “editor” in the keywords field of the advanced search window and check off the box to the left of “Our University” in the group area of the advanced search window. This procedure will display people in job functions or industries with which you may be interested in connecting. Using as a keyword, an industry, or function of interest to you, you might locate germane groups using the above procedure. Instead of searching for Our University’s groups, you might use a search term, such as “Supply Chain,” and then network with people of interest who are members of that group --regardless of whether or not they are connected to Our University. 4. On the top right of your LinkedIn profile page is an “Advanced Search” link. Using the “Title” field and the pop-down menu associated with it for “Current,” enter “intercultural.” In the keywords field, put in a word associated with your major, such as “Accounting.” Examine the people who you find this way. Discuss in at least 150 words, hypothetically, why someone might want such a list of possible network connections. Include specific examples of people with whom you’ve networked in this exercise. 5. Reflect on and evaluate the LinkedIn projects in this course. Teaching and Learning Resources available on page15

Editor’s Corner Christine Quinn Trank, Editor, Academy of Management Learning & Education and empirical work on image and identity into a call to action for business schools that they argued were shifting focus from substance to image. Christopher Earley and Randall Peterson brought their expertise in cross-cultural phenomena and international business to a paper on training for global managers. What strikes me about each piece is how the depth of disciplinary insight contributed to the weight of their contribution to education.

It was a great question, but it is the type of question that should not be left to lively discussions in doctoral seminars. These are the types of questions that go to the heart of disciplinary practices and discourse in education. With my encouragement Jeff ended up working on a project for the class exploring whether and how institutional theory appeared in strategy textbooks (and why it might not). Later we worked together on extending the study, and the work culminated in a publication that appeared in Academy of Management Learning and Education. I tell this story because I don’t think Jeff (now Professor Stambaugh) would consider himself to be a researcher focused on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL); rather, his curiosity and reflection about his discipline led him to ask questions about instructional practices and materials. This type of study is just one of many ways Academy of Management members’ disciplinary interests can (and should) connect with the AMLE.

A few years ago, I was teaching a doctoral seminar in organizational theory. I assigned a number of readings that connected institutional theory to the strategy literature, hoping to generate interest in organization theory among the several students who were focused on strategy in their doctoral studies. Most of the readings show that institutional theory is increasingly integrated into strategy research, but Jeff Stambaugh, one of the students in the seminar who also was teaching a section of strategy in the undergraduate program, had a question. He asked, “If institutional theory is so connected to strategy research, why isn’t institutional theory in the textbook I’m using?”

Without question, articles in the journal that focus on traditional topics on teaching and learning are incredibly valuable for members of the Academy, whether in education, consulting, or in business organizations. AMLE is an indispensable resource on everything from how to avoid negative student evaluations of instruction to how to improve peer evaluation in teams. SOTL is a vital part of our mission. But my hope is that all members of the Academy come to see a connection between AMLE and their disciplines, and to bring some of the conversations occurring at conferences, in hallways and in doctoral seminars more deliberately into the pages of the journal. Just as AMR, AMJ, AMP and now AMD are seen as open to all disciplines, we want to encourage all disciplines to consider AMLE a publication home.

If you look at some of the most cited papers in the journal, you will see how scholars connect their core disciplinary commitments to the context of teaching, learning and education. Christopher Grey, who now serves on our editorial board, brought his critical management studies lens to questions of curriculum and instruction in business schools. Dennis Gioia and Kevin Corley brought their theoretical

Human Resources (HR) Division The HR Division’s Commitment to Teaching and Learning

Janet H. Marler, State University of New York at Albany, Chair of HR Division Teaching Committee Christopher C. Rosen, University of Arkansas, Chair of HR Division Membership and Communications Committee The HR Division leadership has committed to doing just that. To this end, we implemented a new approach to proactively develop a series of teaching-related PDWs for the upcoming AOM meeting in Vancouver.

The Human Resources (HR) Division is dedicated to better understanding how organizations can perform more effectively via management of their human resources. Part of our mission is to foster networks aimed at discovering and disseminating HR knowledge. In a recent member survey, 75% of respondents indicated they were interested in having the HR Division provide additional teaching resources and content.

The PDWs are organized in three standalone sessions on a single day, and attendees can join for all or part of the series. They will feature award-winning faculty sharing effective and innovative approaches to teaching HRM. The first session features Stan Gully and Mark Huselid sharing ideas about how to teach strategic HRM to students ranging from undergraduates to executive MBAs. The second session involves the winners of the HR Division’s Innovative Teaching Award demonstrating award-winning innovation. The third session is a return of the successful PDW from last year developed by Suzanne de Janasz and Caren Goldberg. This PDW brings together faculty who teach at a variety of levels in the

U.S., Europe, and Asia to share their best experiential exercises. The overall goal of these sessions is to support those teaching HRM by providing valuable information, approaches, and experiential activities they can implement immediately. The day and times for these sessions will be announced once AOM has finalized the schedule. The HR Division is committed to providing high-quality teaching resources for our members. We welcome your suggestions about how we may better deliver on this commitment, so please contact us with any thoughts you have.

Banu Özkazanç-Pan, Co-Program Chair-elect, CMS Division Paul Donnelly, Co-Program Chair-elect, CMS Division of mainstream business education to focus on the “bright side” has meant that conventional cases tend not to question the taken-for-granted assumptions and practices underpinning contemporary capitalism, including the primacy of the for-profit motive.

Celine Louche and Nigel Roome, winners of the 2014 CMS Division Dark Side Case Competition

Since 2002, the CMS Division has been running its Dark Side Case-Writing Competition to both foster and recognize the development of cases that encourage reflection and debate on the “dark side” of contemporary capitalism. The enduring popularity of the case method of teaching is grounded in the view that a business education amounts to training in best practice to solve business problems. However, corporate scandals of recent years have served to draw attention to the method’s shortcomings: the predisposition

Thus was born the dark-side case competition to focus attention on issues typically ignored by more conventional cases—“the broader system and how it permits, encourages, even forces firms to do terrible things” (Paul Adler, cited in Raufflet and Mills, 2009, p.5)—with a view to inspiring the development of high-quality teaching material in support of a critical and reflective learning environment. Over the competition’s 14 years, cases have covered a variety of issues (from multinational corporations to entrepreneurial start-ups), at different levels (from microlevel interpersonal dilemmas and conflicts, to more macro-level decisions and actions with broad social, economic and political implications), in a range of countries. Indeed, thanks to the competition, colleagues now have their choice of a growing selection of material with which to introduce students to critical perspectives on management, organizations and the role of business in society, and work with them in reflecting on
