Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to attend our presenter symposium "Firm Strategic Responses to Political Polarization around the World" at the AOM conference.

Abstract: This presenter symposium showcases research frontiers on firms' strategic responses to the market and non-market challenges that arise from political polarization in both domestic and international contexts. These range from underexamined, non-ideological predictors of corporate and CEO activism on contentious socio-political issues (e.g., corporate reputation, CEO narcissism) to the influence of stakeholders on the expanding venues (e.g., corporate campaign contributions, corporate LGBTQ policies) of corporate activism; and implications of political polarization for international business (e.g., divestiture). The four presentations in this symposium adopt a range of methodological approaches (e.g., matched-sample regressions, machine learning techniques, and difference-in-differences designs), and collectively contribute to the existing literature on corporate and CEO activism, stakeholder management, non-market strategies, corporate political activities, social issues in management, and international management.

Dear Colleagues,

I am glad to share with you this call for a postdoctoral fellowship in business ethics. The fellowship is offered by Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC) with the joint participation of the Institute of Applied Ethics (IAE), the School of Management (SM), and the Institute for Sustainable Development (ISD).

The call is broad since we are hoping to initiate this track of research at UC. The proposed project should preferably focus on the following thematic areas: business ethics, corporate ethics, ethics in management, ethics for sustainability, ethics for market regulation, among others. The project will be carried out under the supervision of Professors Alejandra Marinovic (IAE) and Ignacio Pavez (SM and ISD).

It offers excellent conditions for recent graduates or early-career academics who would like to work in Latin America, including travel and installation expenses for foreign researchers.

The call has a tight deadline (August 23rd), but the application form is simple. Please see the attached document with the details of the call.

We would appreciate it very much if you could spread this information to potential candidates or interested faculty. We would be happy to receive any questions at alejandra.marinovic@uc.cl or ipavez@uc.cl.

Best wishes,

Ignacio
