2020 OMT Doctoral Student Consortium
Academy of Management Annual Meeting
August 7, 2020
Organizers:
Lisa Cohen, McGill University, lisa.cohen2@mcgill.ca
Santi Furnari, Cass Business School, Santi.Furnari.1@city.ac.uk
Revised Call for Nominations
Revised Nomination Deadline: June 30, 2020
We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division will be holding a virtual Doctoral Student Consortium as part of this year's Academy of Management Annual Meeting. The goal of this consortium remains the same: orienting doctoral students who are broadly interested in organizations and management as they enter the final phase of their doctoral programs. It helps prepare them for the job market and plan future careers. We aim to help students make the most of their doctoral programs, advance and publish their research, find academic jobs, manage their early career and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with colleagues who share research interests. We will also work to consider the distinct context of the job market since coronavirus.
The consortium will include a combination of the following:
- Live panels/presentations followed by breakout room discussions. The formal presentation portion will take place on the originally scheduled date of August 7 and will be recorded and posted for those who cannot attend live.
- Live roundtable discussions around research and teaching done through breakout rooms on the originally scheduled date of August 7. We will schedule these in multiple time-zones for different groups of mentors and participants (e.g., North America, Europe and Asia friendly times) to optimize participation.
- Small group (1 mentor, 2 or 3 students) mentoring: We will match mentors with two or three students for mentoring which will be scheduled at a time that works for everyone in your group.
- Randomly assigned café or drink chat sessions on August 7. Again, these will be in multiple time zones to accommodate our members.
Over 30 faculty members remain committed to participating in this event. Many have been editors for leading journals and won prestigious research and teaching awards. They represent a range of career levels and geographies and will provide diverse perspectives. The roster includes:
