We would like to invite you to attend the Professional Development Workshop, "Exploring the
Dynamics of Market Categories and Classification Systems", at the Academy of Management
Meetings in San Antonio.
Given the burgeoning stream of research in the area of categories and classification systems, we
have convened a PDW to discuss research findings thus far as well as discuss future directions. On
one hand, the literature on categories and classification systems seems to be narrowing in scope,
but at the same time this research has implications for the broader management and social science
literature. In addition to a diverse group of presenters, we have assembled a distinguished panel
of discussants:
Raghu Garud (Penn State)
Joe Porac (NYU)
Hayagreeva Rao (Stanford)
The session will take place Saturday, August 13th from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. Pre-registration is
suggested but not required. For further information, please see the program listing:
