    Are you attending the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in 2025?

    Join our PDW " Imaginaries and Emerging Technologies: Methods and Processes for Time Leaps and Future-making" (CTO, TIM, OMT) exploring complexities of studying and theorizing the future in management research, particularly in the context of emerging technologies. 

    Workshop Overview

    This PDW brings together scholars to share their experiences in studying the future in the context of emerging technologies to explore following questions:

    • How can we effectively study and theorize the future?
    • What are the typical challenges scholars face when studying the future? How can we overcome concerns regarding validity and generalizability?
    • What is the role of imagination in shaping organizational futures? How do imagination and "magical thinking" commit actors to courses of action in the present?
    • What are the practices, narratives, tactics, and moves through which certain futures become communicatively performed?

    Part 1: Panel Presentations
    Featuring expert talks from:

    • Juliane Reinecke (Saïd Business School, University of Oxford)
    • Omid Omidvar (Warwick Business School)
    • George Kuk (Manchester Metropolitan University)
