What? An OMT Café, a topically themed discussion in a local café during the Academy of Management annual meeting, where folks come together to meet others with similar interests in a casual self-hosted setting.
When? Saturday, August 5th, 3.00-4.00 pm
Where? Cafe Lucia, 57 Forsyth St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30303 (a few minutes' walk from the conference hotels)
What are we going to discuss? Crafts, craftsmanship and organization studies
The 21st century is witnessing a resurgence of crafts and craft products in several industries; in others, an ageing workforce is endangering the survival of century-old skills and cultural traditions. Craft firms need to carefully balance innovation and tradition, art and technology, authenticity and market appeal, past, present and future. Join us in our effort to intensify research on these fascinating organizations, to explore their unique features and prospective role in the changing landscape of advanced economies.
