We would like to invite you to the following PDWs organized by the making connections committee.
How to Manage Academic Collaborations: Tips and Strategies from Team Scholars (3rd Annual)
When: Aug 5, 2022 from 10:00 to 12:00 (PT)
Location: Tahoma 4 (Hybrid), Seattle Convention Center, 705 Pike St, Seattle, WA WA98101
In this PDW, we draw from current research on team diversity, multiple team membership, and virtual teams, to learn how we can successfully manage complex academic collaborations. The primary goals of this PDW are (1) to enhance participants' awareness of how they can effectively work together in diverse, multiple and/or virtual teams, and (2) to derive practical strategies they can use after the PDW to increase their own success in academic collaborations. The PDW will begin with a brief introduction to the concepts of team diversity, multiple team membership, and virtual teams, followed by small group discussions in which participants reflect on when they were most successful in their academic collaborations. Drs. Lauren D'Innocenzo, Sujin Jang, and Travis Maynard will then present their cutting-edge research in this field, proposing a set of practical strategies to help participants find opportunities to make their academic collaborations more rewarding and fruitful. Then, participants will develop an action plan for incorporating strategies in their daily lives to make their collaborations more effective and share them with other participants. Finally, the practical and theoretical insights will be discussed and put into perspective by Dr. Deborah Ancona. The PDW will conclude with a summative discussion of key learnings.

Creating a Better World Through Translation: Publishing in HBR, SMR, CMR, & PSJ
When: Aug 6, 2022 from 15:00 to 17:00 (PT)
Location: Skagit 3 (In-person only), Seattle Convention Center, 705 Pike St, Seattle, WA WA98101
Many research studies have commenced with the hope they will have significant theoretical and practical implications. Many researchers want to help create a better world by making a difference within their scholarly communities and within organizations where managers and professionals practice. Yet, these important insights are often not read by "real world" leaders, managers, and professionals. In our quest to be more inclusive in sharing our research, it is increasingly important to consider new ways of providing managers greater access to our research findings. This PDW focuses on how researchers can have a greater impact on practice by publishing in journals that are circulated beyond the Academy. Senior editors representing "bridging" journals (Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, People + Strategy Journal, California Management Review) will share insights on how to publish in venues that impact both academics and practitioners. In addition, researchers will share a priori research development strategies that set up projects with a greater chance to make a difference beyond the academy in the "real world" to improve lives. Researchers and editors will lead a highly interactive and participative session on this topic, which will include audience dialogue and roundtable discussions.
