    Posted 05-30-2006 12:48
    Greetings, Colleagues.

    The deadline of June 1, 2006 is fast approaching for nominations for the OMT-ODC-MOC Doctoral Consortium that will be held at this year's annual Academy of Management meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Please read the following to find out more about this exciting event. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via cindy.emrich@mason.wm.edu.

    I hope to see you in Atlanta in August!

    Cindy Emrich
    MOC Representative at Large


    OMT/ODC/MOC DOCTORAL STUDENT CONSORTIUM

    August 11 - 13, 2006

    Atlanta, GA

     
    Please join us for an exciting and energetic mix of presentations, roundtable discussions, and research dialogues that are designed to address many of the concerns that are common among advanced doctoral students:
     
    How do I conduct high-impact research that generates a "buzz?" How do I manage work-life balance? How do I manage research collaborations?
     
    The Consortium is organized by:
     
    Cynthia Emrich (College of William & Mary, MOC), Ram Tenkasi (Benedictine University, ODC), Mary Tripsas (Harvard University, OMT), Pablo Martin de Holan (Instituto de Empresa)
     
    We have a terrific group of panelists who have committed to sharing their insights over the course of 4 sessions that will be held on Friday evening (5:00 to 8:00) and Saturday (8:00 to 5:00):
     
    Stuart Bunderson (Washington U.), Jackie Coyle-Shapiro (London School of Economics), Tom Cummings, University of Southern California; Marlena Fiol, University of Colorado, Denver; Gerard Hodgkinson, University of Leeds; George Huber, McCombs School of Management, UT Austin; Karen Jansen, University of Virginia; Michael Lounsbury, University of Alberta; Sharon Matusik, University of Colorado, Boulder; Elaine Romanelli, Georgetown; George Roth, MIT Sloan School; Sim Sitkin, Duke University; Toby Stuart, Columbia / Harvard Business School; Dick Woodman, Texas A&M
     
    On Sunday morning, from 8:00 to 9:50, editors from many of leading journals will share their advice for crafting top-notch submissions and navigating the review process.
     
    One highlight of the Consortium will be a Research Roundtable, to be held from
    10:30 to 12:30 on Saturday. This session is patterned after the MOC Division's popular "Cognition in the Rough" Professional Development Workshop. Roundtable participants-4 students and 2 faculty panelists per table-will devote 20 minutes to providing feedback, advice, and ideas regarding each student's research project.
     

    We encourage schools to nominate students for the Consortium. To keep the faculty-participant ratio to an optimal size, the number of participants will be limited. This has been a very popular program, so apply early!

    The deadline for receipt of nominations is     June 1, 2006    .

    To apply, interested students must be nominated by their schools. No university can nominate more than two students, and each doctoral program is limited to one nomination. Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students need to coordinate their nominations. In making the decision to accept students, preference is given to those who have made the most progress toward completing their Ph.D. program. The Consortium is not open to those who have already completed their Ph.D., as it is designed for students. New faculty will find the Junior Faculty Workshop appropriate for their interests.

    Applications should be sent by the department representative who nominates the student and should include in the body of the email the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, and name of affiliated school and university and a statement by department certifying nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams by August 1, 2006.  We request that you attach the following three items in your e-mail:

    1) letter from a faculty member providing a general appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of dissertation; and

    2) one-page bio summarizing the nominee's contact information, research and teaching interests, and publications. This one-page bio will be distributed among consortium participants.

    3) 3 - 5 page (typed and double-spaced) summary of student's research project. This summary should include: research question, rationale, hypotheses / propositions, (proposed) methods (if applicable), and results (if applicable). Once roundtable assignments are made, the Consortium organizers will distribute research summaries to members of each roundtable.



    Please send nominations and supporting materials     by electronic mail to ONLY one of the following conference organizers     by June 1, 2006.  The conference organizers are:

     

    MOC: Cynthia Emrich (cindy.emrich@mason.wm.edu)

    ODC: Ram Tenkasi (RTenkasi@ben.edu)

    OMT: Mary Tripsas (c/o Debra Kendall: dkendall@hbs.edu)
