The OMT Division is an inclusive community of scholars that draws on a rich intellectual heritage to build and test theory about organizations, their members, their management, organization-environment relations, organizing processes and broader markets and fields. We actively promote and develop the community of researchers, educators, and practitioners who advance OMT scholarship. To this end, we invite proposals for PDW sessions that will take place  during the 84th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM 2024) held  9–13 August 2024 in Chicago, IL, USA. PDW sessions will take place Friday-Sunday, 9-11 August. 

PDW sessions provide an opportunity to explore emerging or understudied research questions, advance novel theoretical perspectives, develop innovative empirical approaches, and encourage engagement with relevant but underexplored phenomena around organizations and organizing. PDWs can be organized in a great variety of formats such as workshops, tutorials, debates, roundtable discussions, town hall meetings, and many more. Most importantly, PDW sessions are intended for professional development of the participants; this means that active engagement by participants is an essential ingredient of a successful PDW.  

We look forward to PDW sessions that will contribute to the Division’s mission of advancing robust theoretical understanding of organizations, organizing, and management and we encourage submissions that address the overall AOM 2024 Academy theme: Innovating for the Future - Policy, Purpose, and Organization.
