Dear Members of the Management History Division,
We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming plenary session, "We Cannot Escape History: On the Co-evolution of History in Organizations", at the Academy of Management 2024 Annual Meeting. This event will be held on Sunday, August 11th, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, at the Swissotel Chicago, Vevey 4.
Our plenary will deal with the contextual significance of history to organizations. Current organizations' identity, processes, strategies, and behavior are a product of multi-level co-evolution, where organizational actions intertwine with environmental responses. As such, there is a potential path dependence that speakers in our plenary seek to illuminate.
Panel Details:
- Coordinator and Programme Chair: Matteo Cristofaro, University of Rome Tor Vergata
- Moderator: Jeffrey Muldoon, Emporia State University
- Panelists:
- Bradley Gerald Bowden, Journal of Management History
- Marcelo Bucheli, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Geoffrey Jones, Harvard Business School
- Arie Y. Lewin, Duke University
This session is a valuable opportunity to engage with leading scholars and gain a deeper understanding of the historical contextual forces that shape organizational behavior and development. We encourage all members to attend and participate in this enriching discussion.
Moreover, we are excited to announce our upcoming Management History Social Event during the Academy of Management 2024 in Chicago. Please mark your calendars for Monday, August 12th, starting at 6:30 PM. The event will take place at the Swissotel Chicago, room Élevé.
Enjoy live music by the Sam Rodriguez Band featuring jazz, 80s-90s hits, and contemporary tunes.
This event promises to be an excellent opportunity to network, reconnect with colleagues, and enjoy an evening of lively entertainment. We look forward to your presence and participation.
Making history? Let's party like it's 1999!
