Hi everyone,
The MOC division's slogan is "we will help you think it through" and the IR series presents a portfolio of PDWs intended to aid scholars across methodologies and theoretical foci in their scholarly pursuits.
Most have been running for over a decade now and have been carefully calibrated to include a combination of expert advice from top scholars in our field paired with personalized feedback to participants in a smaller, welcoming atmosphere. Presenting-, Reviewing-, and Teaching- In the Rough may be of value to senior students and faculty of all ranks, while Cognitions (research feedback) and Diamonds (career guidance) are particularly tailored to junior scholars (senior doctoral students, post-docs, and junior faculty). We are also pleased to have Entrepreneurship in the Rough, and MOC Connecting. These PDWs are designed to create a space for networking and sharing area-specific research. More details on each can be found below as well as online (where you can also find a list of the experts participating in each PDW: https://moc.aom.org/home). The deadline to register for most is July 1st.

The session will be held synchronously during the annual meeting. Pre-registration is not required. More information is available here.
Entrepreneurial Cognition
The purpose of Entrepreneurial Cognition is to identify and share promising research in the area of entrepreneurship and cognition. We are pleased to announce two annual awards for promising research on this topic - the Best Paper and the Best Student Paper awards. More information is available here.
