ODC Kick-Off Session and Distinguished Speaker This year, our kick-off session is a Showcase Symposia on Monday morning, 8:00-9:30 AM in the Republic B Ballroom. The session features a distinguished panel of leading change scholars: Michael Beer , Warner Burke, Edgar Schein, and Dale Zand who will address “Influential Research and Practice in ODC Dynamics”. This is one of our four showcase symposia and is co-sponsored by the OB and MC divisions. It promises to be a great beginning to the day.
Another exciting highlight you will want to make sure to attend is the ODC Distinguished Speaker Andrew Pettigrew, Professor of Strategy and Organisation, Said Business School, University of Oxford. Andrew will draw on his extensive research base and collaboration with scholars around the world in his address on “Intervening in Organisations and Large Systems”. This session will be held Monday 3:00-4:30 PM in the Republic B Ballroom.
PDW Program The PDW program includes traditional favorites and innovative newcomers. Among the traditional favorites on Friday are high-impact exercises for teaching or consulting on organization change and publishing qualitative research in premier academic journals (pre-registration required), both of which have been very popular.
ODC Doctoral Student Consortium
The ODC Doctoral Consortium will be held August 3-4 as part of the pre-conference program at the Academy of Management meetings in Boston. The consortium includes a dynamic and practical mix of presentations, discussions, and small group coaching sessions with leading ODC scholars. It is designed to support doctoral students in the early stages of their dissertation process toward successful completion, publication, and smooth transition into their academic careers. We welcome doctoral students from all disciplines who are studying issues associated with the dynamics of change in organizations and encourage advisors to nominate students for the consortium.
