PDW Announcements:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear BPS members,
I want to alert you to a pre-conference workshop titled "Empirically
Investigating Real Options". It is scheduled for Saturday, August 12,
1:30PM - 4:15PM at Atlanta Marriott Marquis in Cluster 3 - Sydney. It
should be an outstanding session. Faculty participants include Tim Folta
(Purdue University), Raffaele Oriani (University of Bologna), Jeff Reuer
(University of North Carolina), and Tony Tong (SUNY Buffalo).
The workshop is designed to be highly interactive. The description of the
workshop is:
Several empirical papers will be briefly presented by their authors and
encouraged to critique their own approach to examining real options
empirically. Audience members will be invited to probe and challenge the
authors for their rationale. The intent of the session is to motivate a
discussion as to what constitutes a good test of real options effects.
Session participants are invited to read the articles prior to the PDW and
be highly engaged.
In addition to the brief presentation of papers there will be a panel
session where a variety of subjects related to the workshop theme will be
discussed, as motivated by the audience. Finally, in the last 55 minutes is
the faculty panel will meet with the attendees to discuss their ideas and to
help craft empirical tests of real option effects central to their own
interests.
Interested individuals should contact Tim Folta so they can receive reading
material prior to the workshop.
Hope to see you on August 12th
Tim Folta

Please join us for a great discussion about KM theory. Bill
980 CAU (CAU) Organizations and Knowledge (OAK) Research Interest Group
Scheduled on Aug 15 2006 from 8:30AM to 10:10AM at Hyatt Regency Atlanta in
the Brussels room
Organizer: William D Schulte, Shenandoah U.
Organizations and Knowledge (OAK) is a group of researchers in various
divisions of the Academy of Management who are interested in forming an
interest group on knowledge management. KM concepts cut across the divisions
of the Academy. There is a need to develop an acceptable domain for KM that
integrates research across the divisions. To that end this caucus will offer
a forum for discussion on relevant theories for KM. In addition, recent
publications focusing on knowledge management will be discussed by editors
and members of editorial review boards on possible outlets for Academy of
Management scholars' research on KM.
Key words: knowledge management theory, publication outlets
