The Management History Division is seeking proposals for the Professional Development Workshop (PWD) sessions for the 84th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM 2024) held in person 9-13 August 2024 in Chicago, IL, USA.

PDWs will be held in person from Friday-Sunday, 9-11 August 2024.

Why submitting a PDW proposal?

PDWs come in different shapes and forms but have one single goal: to offer opportunities for scholars to learn something new from one another.

Want to promote a debate, disseminate a new method, develop papers for publication? Consider proposing a PDW for the Management History Division.

PDWs are flexible and creative and can generate value for the participants. Do not know where to begin? Start here.

Who can submit a PDW proposal?

We invite PDW proposals from scholars in different career stages, members and non-members of the Management History Division. Demographic and geographic diversity in team composition and interdisciplinarity of proposals are encouraged.

Which PDW proposals will be considered?

Your PDW proposal should be aligned with the domain statement and the interest of the Management History Division on the study of temporality and the historical situatedness of organized action.

Proposals that connect with the AOM 2024 theme, “Innovating for the Future,” are also strongly encouraged.

How to submit a PDW proposal?

Please review the Professional Development Workshop (PDW) Submission Guidelines to ensure that your submission complies with the requirements in all details.

The deadline to submit your proposal is Tuesday, 9 January 2024 at 17:00 ET (UTC-5/GMT-5) through the Academy’s Submission Center.

Which criteria will be used to evaluate my PDW proposal?

We will privilege broad and bold PDW proposals of high social relevance and academic resonance:

• Opportunities for participation, networking, and skill development are expected.
• Novelty of topics, methods, and phenomena examined in the PDW is highly desirable.
