    2014 TIM Division Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals

    The Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) Division encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change from a variety of angles, including strategic, managerial, behavioral, and operational perspectives. To explore these many issues, the Division seeks innovative proposals for its pre-conference Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) at the Academy of Management's annual meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in August 2014. PDW sessions will be held Friday and Saturday (August 1-2).

    PDW sessions are attractive venues for exploring cutting edge issues since they can take a variety of formats (workshops, tutorials, debates, roundtable discussions, town hall meetings) and can address topics that may not fit in the regular program.  Central to each session should be the goal of engaging participants in a high level of interaction.

    We seek proposals that are related to the conference theme, "The Power of Words," or explore emerging trends in research and practice of Technology and Innovation  Management.  Acceptance of proposals will be based on (a) relevance to the interests of the Division's membership; (b) creativity; (c) potential to foster integration with the rest of the Academy (we welcome proposals that identify other Divisions and Interest Groups as co-sponsors; more than one co-sponsor can be suggested).  Our goal is to have a slate of PDWs that is as diverse, creative and interesting as our membership.

    We encourage you to submit a proposal by using the PDW form available at the AOM submission site http://aom.org/annualmeeting/submission/.  The submission deadline is January 14, 2014, 5:00pm ET (NY Time).
