Dear MOC colleagues,
The Academy of Management (AoM) has recently approved a plan to move toward a formal proposal for a Social Networks Interest Group within AoM.
We need at least 500 active AoM members to sign a petition of support. Our goal is not merely to meet that threshold - it is to exceed it decisively.
If your work touches on networks or relationships in any form-even if it's not your primary focus-we'd love your signature of support:
– Advice, help, mentoring, sponsorship
– Career networks, job search, mobility
– Psychological safety, trust, social capital
– Friendship, collaboration, negative ties
– Inequality, status, identity, homophily
– Boundary spanning, knowledge flow
– Founding teams, entrepreneur networks
– Teams, leadership, LMX
– Power, influence, brokerage
– Tie formation, churn, evolution
– Platforms, supply chains, coordination
– Digital / AI-enabled networks, ecosystems
– Computational methods, SNA, multilevel
– Interfirm alliances, board ties, patent citations
Please sign the petition: https://stanfordgsb.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a2UXgOf1hIpMmZU
Even if you are not currently an AoM member, we would still love for you to sign!
Please also share this with anyone else who might be interested.
If you would like to know more, visit https://www.socialnetworkssociety.org/ or reach out to me (levin@business.rutgers.edu) or to my co-President, Kristin Cullen-Lester (kclester@olemiss.edu).
Thank you in advance for your support!
Best,
Daniel
