Call for Proposals
The Practice Theme Committee is of strategic importance to the Academy
of Management and spans across all Divisions and Interest Groups of the
Academy. It aims to:
• Develop greater awareness of what practice means and how it can
usefully inform our scholarship in terms of both research and teaching.
• Identify and profile exemplar initiatives that bridge the gap between
theory and practice and engage practitioners and academics in the
co-creation of knowledge.
• Create a platform for ongoing engagement with practitioners so that
the knowledge we discover is relevant and has impact.
This year’s theme “The Questions We Ask” encourages us to
self-reflectively examine the assumptions behind current questions that
inform our practices in research and teaching. It also invites us to
self-critically acknowledge the forces barring untapped questions. We
invite you to take the challenge that a practice perspective offers to
engage with questions such as:
1. What is practice and why does it matter in Organization Science?
2. How do theory-driven questions compare to practice-driven questions?
How can they be connected if the knowledge generated is to have impact?
3. What research methodologies are better suited for investigating
organizational and management practices? How can practice as a
methodology shape future management research and develop new ways of
learning and teaching?
4. What knowledge (episteme, techne, phronesis) most influences our
actions? When is phronesis (practical judgment) most critical? Can it be
developed, for example, to influence leadership practice?
We encourage exciting, innovative, and interdisciplinary workshops
involving both researchers and practitioners and elucidating the link
between theory and practice. Please note that the “Rule of Three”
applies for the 2008 PDW program.
If you like to discuss your ideas prior to submitting, please contact
Elena Antonacopoulou (
eagnosis@liv.ac.uk), PTC Chair or Kuo Frank Yu
