> OMT, ODC and MOC are glad to announce their annual Doctoral Student
> Consortium will once again be part of the pre-conference activities at the
> Annual Academy of Management Meeting in Philadelphia. Continuing the
> glorious tradition started a few years ago, OMT, ODC and MOC co-organize
> this Doctoral Consortium to help doctoral students organize their thoughts
> about the final phase of their doctoral programs, advance their research,
> publish their dissertation or parts thereof, find a job in the academic or
> professional world, advance their career, and generally achieve happiness
> and enlightenment.
>
> This year, the Doctoral Consortium has incorporated several innovations
> that will improve the participants' experience by allowing a greater
> degree of personalization. In addition to the traditional stand-up
> presentations by our awe-inspiring group of panelists (where our guest
> Professors reflect on their experience and provide pearls of wisdom for us
> to savor), we will also have several thematic roundtables where
> participants will be able to interact with a distinguished group of
> faculty, discuss topics of mutual interest, and pose those nagging
> questions that they were always afraid to ask their mentors, advisors
> and/or healthcare professionals.
>
> In addition, we will once again be conducting our highly popular research
> roundtables, where participants will be offered the opportunity to discuss
> their dissertation research with distinguished scholars in the field. As
> always, Sunday will include our Meet the Editors session, where
> participants will be able to ask questions, again, in a round table
> format, of editors from all the top journals.
>
> For the sake of intimacy, and because round tables are limited in diameter
> and quite difficult to expand, these thematic round tables will be kept
> small; we will be maintaining a faculty/participant ratio of 5:1.
> Maintaining this ratio also ensures that the Doctoral Consortium provides
> opportunities to accommodate the increasing diversity of participants'
> backgrounds, experiences, and desires, and creates plenty of opportunities
> to ask specific questions of our panelists and facilitators.
>
> In addition to conference co-organizers, Stuart Bunderson, Michael
> Manning, Pablo Martin de Holan, Sandy Piderit, and Tim Pollock, this
> year's panel (listed in alphabetical order) includes the following
> scholars, who have generously agreed to contribute their time and effort
