  • Final Reminder: STR Co-Sponsorship of Conferences and Workshops

    The STR Division is seeking applications for STR co-sponsorship of locally organized and run conferences and workshops around the world during the next year (from April 2025 through July 2026). The (final and fast approaching) deadline for applications is April 20, 2025.

    The STR Division leadership recognizes the opportunity to support the strategic management field through additional conferences and workshops that are distinct from the AoM Annual Meeting. Smaller and more intimate conferences and workshops offer the opportunity for more focused research discussions and networking opportunities, and serve scholars who are unable to attend the AoM Annual Meeting. Under the STR Division’s new Global Impact Plan, these conferences and workshops are meant to foster engagement with scholars in emerging and less connected regions and support their professional development. We envision supporting locally organized conferences and workshops that are designed for both in-person or virtual delivery. 

    Applications should be submitted (in English) in a single PDF document to STR Division Chair Deepak Somaya and STR Executive Committee member Fabrice Lumineau at the email addresses below. Applications should include each of the following elements:

    1.      A narrative that clearly describes the name, objective, and dates of the conference/ workshop, its relation to the field of strategic management, the target audience (geographic region and career stage), the names and positions/affiliations of the conference organizers, the local university/organization that is providing space (if there is one), and the intended size of the conference as well as any currently committed participants.  (approx. 200 words)

    2.      A brief description of the financial model for the conference or workshop, which should be financially viable on its own. The STR Division does not provide direct financial support for conferences or workshops.  (approx. 80 words)

    3.      Specify the types of support being sought for the conference or workshop from the STR Division. The STR Division offers only the following three types of support:

                                i.           Co-branding by listing the STR Division as a co-sponsor.

                              ii.           Recruiting and funding a senior STR Division member (typically former leaders or awardees of the division) as a keynote speaker or for other similar roles.

                            iii.           STR Global Scholarships awarded to junior scholars (typically doctoral students) based on their work submitted to the conference or workshop. These scholarships cover registration and travel to the next AoM Annual Meeting, thus supporting the professional development of scholars and their socialization into the field.

    Please send your applications (and/or questions) to Deepak Somaya (dsomayaaom@gmail.com) and Fabrice Lumineau (lumineau@hku.hk).  

  • Call for Nominations for the 2025 OB Doctoral Consortium

    We are seeking nominations for the 2025 AOM OB Doctoral Student Consortium (OBDC). The consortium will take place at the annual AOM conference. It is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 8:00 AM-5:00 PM local time.

    The OBDC is designed for students who are in the final year of their doctoral program (i.e., students who will be on the job market in the fall and who have made significant progress on their dissertation research). Therefore, priority will be given to students who have made the most progress toward completing their Ph.D. program (e.g., defended a dissertation proposal, completed data collection), but who have not yet defended their dissertation. 

    The consortium includes a mix of presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions designed to launch doctoral students into their academic careers. Faculty presentations, interactive panels with journal editors, and roundtable sessions include topics such as crafting the right academic job, acing the job talk, succeeding in research and publishing from the perspective of a panel of editors. More than 50 faculty members have volunteered to speak or host roundtable discussions.

    Nomination requirements

    The completed nomination should be submitted by the nominating department/school/advisor, via the form linked below. Only nominations submitted via this survey will be considered. There is no formal restriction on the number of students a program may submit. However, we request that programs only nominate students who meet the selection criteria (e.g., only nominate students who are in the final year of their doctoral program, as opposed to early-stage students who would be better served in the future). In the case of space limitations, admission decisions will be made based on demonstrated progress toward the applicant's dissertation and broader research portfolio.

    The following information must be provided:

    1. The nominee's one-page vita/bio in PDF format (longer documents may be rejected). Please name the file with the nominee's last name followed by ShortCV (e.g., SmithShortCV.pdf). 
    2. The nominee's one-page summary of dissertation research in PDF format (title and abstract is fine; longer summaries may be rejected). Please name the file with the nominee's last name followed by Research (e.g., SmithResearch.pdf). 
    3. Advisor/program chair endorsement. 

    How to submit a nomination

    Nominations will only be accepted via this form.

    Nomination deadline

    Friday, April 25, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time)

    Applicants will be notified of their admission status approximately one month after the nomination deadline. 

    For questions, please contact Andreas Richter at a.richter@jbs.cam.ac.uk or Shannon Taylor at sgtaylor@ucf.edu. We look forward to welcoming you to the OB Doctoral Consortium at AOM!
