MOC and OMT are pleased to announce their annual Doctoral Student
Consortium will once again be part of the pre-conference activities at
the Annual Academy of Management Meeting in Anaheim. Continuing the
partnership started a few years ago, OMT and MOC co-organize this
Doctoral Consortium to help doctoral students organize their thoughts
about the final phase of their doctoral programs, advance their
research, publish their dissertation or parts thereof, find a job in the
academic or professional world, advance their career and generally
achieve happiness and enlightenment.
Following on the success of last year's consortium, we will retain
previous innovations that allowed for greater degrees of personalization
and interaction between faculty and students. In addition to the
traditional stand-up presentations by our distinguished group of
panelists, who will discuss what it means to conduct 'great' research
and dispense various pearls of wisdom about all the different ways to
successfully manage your career, each session includes roundtable
discussions where participants will be able to interact with a
distinguished group of faculty in a small-group format to gain and share
additional insights. We will also once again conduct our highly popular
research roundtables session, where participants will be offered the
opportunity to discuss their dissertation research with distinguished
scholars in the field.
As a new innovation this year, we and the OMT Junior Faculty Consortium
are jointly sponsoring a teaching roundtable session where students and
junior faculty members can sit down with distinguished faculty and learn
how they have incorporated organization theory and managerial cognition
into the undergraduate and MBA elective courses that they teach. Syllabi
and other teaching materials will be made available to all interested
participants.
As always, Sunday will include our Meet the Editors session, where
participants will be able to ask questions, again, in a round table
format, of editors from all the top journals.
For the sake of intimacy we will be maintaining a low
faculty/participant ratio. Thus, space in the consortium is limited.
Maintaining a low ratio ensures that the Doctoral Consortium provides
opportunities to accommodate the increasing diversity of participants'
backgrounds, experiences, and desires, and creates plenty of
opportunities to ask specific questions of our panelists and facilitators.
In addition to conference co-organizers Tim Pollock (Penn State
University) and Jenny Rudolph (Harvard Medical School), and their
assistant co-organizers Diane Burton (MIT) and Kevin Corley (Arizona
State University), the following scholars (listed in alphabetical order)
have generously agreed to contribute their time and effort to the
development of the OMT-MOC doctoral consortium's participants:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The deadline for nominations is May 15, 2008,
but before you rush to email us please read on. The number of
participants is limited, and we anticipated more applications than
spaces available. You can apply as early as you want, but no earlier
than March 31, and no later than May 15, 2008. 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. Since we are
anticipating more applicants than spaces, preference will also be given
to those who apply early.
The Consortium is not open to those who have already completed their
Ph.D., regardless of circumstances. If this is your case, you may want
to consider attending OMT's Junior Faculty Consortium instead.
Applications should be sent by the department representative who
nominates the student and should include the following in the body of
the email: the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax
numbers, name of affiliated school and university, the division (OMT or
MOC) being submitted to, and a statement from the department certifying
the nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams
by August 1, 2008. Also attach the following three items to your e-mail:
(1) a brief 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; (2) a 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); and (3)
a three to five page summary of the student's research project (typed
and double-spaced, 12 point times roman font, one inch margins. No
single spacing or micro-fonts please.). 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 BOTH conference organizers by
May 15, 2008. INDICATE SPECIFICALLY WHICH DIVISION (OMT or MOC) YOU
CONSIDER YOUR PRIMARY AFFILIATION. Please note that incomplete
applications will be delayed. If you are unsure whether we have received
all of your materials, feel free to email either Tim or Jennifer. We are
happy to help.
