Dear OMT members,
Thank you very much for all your help in creating the OMT program for the Vancouver meetings. This year over 900 of you from 52 different countries volunteered to review papers and symposia across a wide range of topics. I really appreciate all effort each of you devoted to providing high-quality and timely comments. This is what sustains our scholarly community.
Scholarly Program
This year the program will feature 240 papers and 78 symposia on topics that include Robots and Automation, Social Class, the Materiality of Ignorance, Rethinking Capitalism, Intra-Platform Competition, Quantitative Institutional Theory Testing, Misconduct in Organizations, Novelty Evaluation, Narratives of Sustainability in Finance, Reviving Individual Persons in Network Reality, and many other topics.
We also have the following Showcase Symposia this year:
- Alternative Institutionalism: Theory, Methods, and Topics.
- How do different concepts of time further our understanding of managing and organizing innovations?

Warm regards and keep safe,
Martin Kilduff,
OMT Program Chair.
