Asia Academy of Management (AAM)
2025 Affiliate PDW Program: Call for Submissions
PDW Chair: Ziliang Deng, National School of Development, Peking University
The Asia Academy of Management (AAM) invites scholars interested in relevant business and management issues, in organizations in Asia to submit innovative and thought-provoking proposals for its Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) at the Academy of Management 2025 Annual Meeting.
Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) provide a platform for scholars to share their knowledge and expertise and to foster the professional development of the participants attending the PDWs. The PDWs offer opportunities to develop pioneering and innovative workshops that benefit the Academy members.
The mission of the Asia Academy is to assume a global leadership position in advancing management theory, research, and practices, as well as education of relevance to Asia. It is a global organization that welcomes researchers and practitioners interested in management issues relevant to Asia.
We have the opportunity and responsibility to create a better world through resilient management. Asian region is home to the most dynamic and innovative firms that have been at the forefront of transforming the region into an economic powerhouse. The accelerated deglobalization and geopolitical tension has created enormous challenges. Managers and businesspeople are more eager than ever to find better ways to cope with the rapidly increasing pressures of these uncertainties. We need to deepen our attention to the role of resilience and their implications for the Asian region. More dialogues are needed among scholars and practitioners, which requires us to consider out-of-box thinking and take both short- and long-term views. Considering the issues faced by Asian organizations in developing their resilience, scholars studying these organizations can provide substantial recommendations to organizations based in and outside the region to learn from the Asian context.
The Asia Academy of Management invites scholars to submit proposals for PDWs and symposia on the Academy of Management 2025 conference theme and the related areas such as business resilience. We suggest some topics that require more significant scholarly discourse below:
- What are the unique features of organizational resilience in the Asian region and their implications for organizations in and outside the region?
- Historically, how has the strategic reconfiguration developed in organizations in the Asian region?
- What are the relationships between policy and resilience in the organizations in the Asian region?
- How do organizations in the Asian region develop and leverage resilience to deal with the region's complex and grand challenges?
- How are organizations in the Asian region creating a mindset into an organization’s culture of resilience and sustainable development?
- Are digital technologies disrupting the ecosystems in the Asian region? Is there any Asian approach that helps organizations survive and maintain competitiveness by utilizing digital technologies?
- What are the differences in resilience within the countries in the Asian region? What are the sources of these differences?
- How can we promote research that is not only academically rigorous but also practically relevant? How can the “balance” be achieved, and do the corresponding implications differ across Asian countries?
- Is any unique issue emerging in Asian countries which has posed grand challenges to the extant management models?
- How can we develop further business education through case teaching in business schools in Asia to cultivate future business managers capable of dealing greater challenges?
The issues listed above are representative examples. We encourage you to be creative & forward-looking, proposing new ideas relevant to Asian management. Such academic activities could comprise:
- Panel sessions
- Developmental workshops for junior faculty and doctoral students
- Round table discussions on specific research areas/topics
- Feedback on preliminary research ideas by experienced journal reviewers
- Any other creative forms of scholarly activities
Any proposals for sessions organized in collaboration with other divisions and associated affiliated societies of the Academy of Management will also be highly appreciated.
The deadline for proposal submissions is Tuesday, 7 January 2025 at 17:00 ET (UTC-5/GMT-5). Please submit your proposal using the online submission center. You are welcome to connect with Professor Ziliang Deng for inquiries and, if needed, coordination before you submit your final proposal.
