“We are at risk, now, that these algorithms change … our morality in fundamental ways by suppressing judgment in decision-making,” AOM scholars say.

AOM scholars point to three factors that contribute to environments that can be attractive to harassers.

In many cases, professionals with multiple jobs are seen as less competent in their primary occupation, according to an Academy of Management Discoveries article.

There is no overall difference in performance because teams without charters ultimately come up with their own working agreements, according to an Academy of Management Learning & Education article.

Women tend to speak more concretely about their business plans. Men speak more abstractly about their ideas, pitching them as disruptive, industry-changing, and scalable. That gives men an advantage because investors attach more value to those qualities.

The , which will be free access through AOM's 82nd Annual Meeting Aug. 4–10, covers subjects including:

  • How research fails to connect capitalism and climate change
  • Historical signs of our civilization’s collapse
