I am 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.

- Date: Sunday, August 11th

As such, there is a potential path dependence that speakers in our plenary seek to illuminate.
