  • 1.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-01-2017 03:35

    Dear all,

     

    Not only as someone indirectly affected by the executive order on immigration (one of my German-born and -raised PhD students has dual citizenship of Germany and Iran, and is now not allowed to/afraid of travelling to U.S. conferences), I was disappointed and appalled that the leaders of AOM did not clearly condemn this order (see below). Since when is discrimination based on nationality and religion a political issue, and why did AOM adopt the euphemism "travel restrictions"? Also, has someone seen this AOM policy in written form? Many U.S. universities, large companies, and other professional organizations have explicitly and strongly rejected the executive order (still waiting to hear from SIOP...). Since we study topics like discrimination and (ethical) leadership, I wonder if there are any leaders in the OB field willing to lean in and take a stand now that AOM leadership seems incapable of doing so? Personally, out of solidarity with my student and others affected by this order (and the political climate in general), I have decided not to attend conferences in the U.S. this year – however, I realize that this is a complex issue and of course I respect other decisions and understand that there are downsides to boycotts, see also https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2017/jan/30/should-academics-boycott-donald-trumps-america?).

     

    Best wishes,

    Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Academy of Management:

    I'm writing to you today as President of the AOM in the wake of the Executive Order signed by President Trump to suspend entry into the United States of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.  

    Thank you to those who have written to me and to other officers about the new restrictions on travel and their implications for AOM.   Thanks as well to those of you who have posted on listservs and social media.  The scores of messages that I have read reflect the diversity of our 20,000 members, and of the political, social and cultural traditions of the 127 nations where we live and work.  Our members hold a range of views on the public policies that have recently been implemented.   Many of you have expressed concern about travel to the Annual Meeting in Atlanta; many are interpreting the Executive Order as a direct attack on scholarship; and some are worried about the implication for pluralism on all sides of this issue.   A number of you have asked the AOM to condemn the order as antithetical to scholarly values, academic freedom, and democratic processes.  Yet because of our very diversity, the AOM has long had a binding policy that restricts any officer from taking a stand on any political issue in the name of the AOM.

    I can affirm as President that the AOM stands behinds its vision, mission, objectives, and core values.  The AOM fervently values all its members.  We are committed to inclusion, supportive communities, and social and academic freedom as fundamental and undeniable tenets of scholarly association.  Our values emphasize the full diversity of member backgrounds and experiences.  The AOM Statement of Values expresses that "We respect each of our members' voices and seek to amplify their ideas."  To enact our values, we are taking initiatives on several fronts.  First, the AOM is suspending the requirement of attendance as a condition of inclusion in the program at the Annual Meeting for those affected by the travel restrictions.  All scholars whose work is accepted to the conference but are not able to enter the United States from travel-restricted countries will have access to sessions in which they are presenting through virtual means.  Second, we will also share with you, via our website, the best information that we have about Visa application processes for those who want to attend.  We encourage any member from the affected countries who wishes to attend but cannot because of travel restrictions to contact us so that we can work with you toward participation.

    Our mission is "To build a vibrant and supportive community of scholars by markedly expanding opportunities to connect and explore ideas."  To fulfill this mission, the AOM will soon hold specialized conferences outside the United States on topics proposed by and of interest to members.  Please see our website for information on this initiative.  I invite you to submit a proposal if you are interested in leading one.  We also will continue working with our affiliates and associates around the world who convene meetings in support of management scholarship and teaching. 

    The vision of the AOM is to inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations.  I encourage AOM members to double down on the scholarly agenda. Let us be more engaged, creative, and committed to scholarship and teaching on the issues of our day.  Let us stand together in Atlanta in solidarity with our diverse membership as the world's premiere association of management scholars and business-school professors.  Academic integrity is our strength.  Through our scholarly discussions and debate, we can find a way forward together.  This is the AOM's purpose and this cannot and will not change.

  • 4.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-06-2017 08:44

    Classification: Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

     

    It was indeed a very weak message from AOM president, wondering if this is a reflection of the Academy, the many members and Management Academics globally of being so distant from real business, the corporations, boards, executives, employees. Because of this, it is my impression that attending AOM meetings is paramount for a management academic career prospects, are you certain you want to jeopardize your career, by banning

    The academy?

     

     Business dynamics, operations and the bottom line are so so far away on whatever is discussed at AOM Meetings and many Academic conferences that professionals could find it worthless attending such events. 

     

    I strongly believe that if perhaps  Management Academics where closer to reality a more

    Accurate memo could have happened.

  • 5.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-06-2017 09:44
    Dear Fellow members,
     
    I fully endorse the objections of Dr  Hannes Zacher to the AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US. To exclude people from entering the US on the basis of religion, or of nationality is neither morally justifiable, nor a grounded approach to control the entering of terrorists. I thought that AOM stood for social responsibility and effective practices.
    I do agree that each nation state has a responsibility to manage its boundaries. But the measures should withstand the tests of effectiveness and morality.
    Euphemisms are here inappropriate.
    Cordially,
    Leopold Vansina, Ph.D.
    Prof em. University of Leuven and l'Université de Louvain-la-Neuve

Since when is discrimination based on nationality and religion a political issue, and why did AOM adopt the euphemism "travel restrictions"? Also, has someone seen this AOM policy in written form? Many U.S. universities, large companies, and other professional organizations have explicitly and strongly rejected the executive order (still waiting to hear from SIOP...). Since we study topics like discrimination and (ethical) leadership, I wonder if there are any leaders in the OB field willing to lean in and take a stand now that AOM leadership seems incapable of doing so? Personally, out of solidarity with my student and others affected by this order (and the political climate in general), I have decided not to attend conferences in the U.S. this year – however, I realize that this is a complex issue and of course I respect other decisions and understand that there are downsides to boycotts, see also https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2017/jan/30/should-academics-boycott-donald-trumps-america?).

    Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Academy of Management:

    I'm writing to you today as President of the AOM in the wake of the Executive Order signed by President Trump to suspend entry into the United States of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. 

    Thank you to those who have written to me and to other officers about the new restrictions on travel and their implications for AOM.   Thanks as well to those of you who have posted on listservs and social media.  The scores of messages that I have read reflect the diversity of our 20,000 members, and of the political, social and cultural traditions of the 127 nations where we live and work.  Our members hold a range of views on the public policies that have recently been implemented.   Many of you have expressed concern about travel to the Annual Meeting in Atlanta; many are interpreting the Executive Order as a direct attack on scholarship; and some are worried about the implication for pluralism on all sides of this issue.   A number of you have asked the AOM to condemn the order as antithetical to scholarly values, academic freedom, and democratic processes.  Yet because of our very diversity, the AOM has long had a binding policy that restricts any officer from taking a stand on any political issue in the name of the AOM.

    I can affirm as President that the AOM stands behinds its vision, mission, objectives, and core values.  The AOM fervently values all its members.  We are committed to inclusion, supportive communities, and social and academic freedom as fundamental and undeniable tenets of scholarly association.  Our values emphasize the full diversity of member backgrounds and experiences.  The AOM Statement of Values expresses that "We respect each of our members' voices and seek to amplify their ideas."  To enact our values, we are taking initiatives on several fronts.  First, the AOM is suspending the requirement of attendance as a condition of inclusion in the program at the Annual Meeting for those affected by the travel restrictions.  All scholars whose work is accepted to the conference but are not able to enter the United States from travel-restricted countries will have access to sessions in which they are presenting through virtual means.  Second, we will also share with you, via our website, the best information that we have about Visa application processes for those who want to attend.  We encourage any member from the affected countries who wishes to attend but cannot because of travel restrictions to contact us so that we can work with you toward participation.

    Our mission is "To build a vibrant and supportive community of scholars by markedly expanding opportunities to connect and explore ideas."  To fulfill this mission, the AOM will soon hold specialized conferences outside the United States on topics proposed by and of interest to members.  Please see our website for information on this initiative.  I invite you to submit a proposal if you are interested in leading one.  We also will continue working with our affiliates and associates around the world who convene meetings in support of management scholarship and teaching.

    The vision of the AOM is to inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations.  I encourage AOM members to double down on the scholarly agenda. Let us be more engaged, creative, and committed to scholarship and teaching on the issues of our day.  Let us stand together in Atlanta in solidarity with our diverse membership as the world's premiere association of management scholars and business-school professors.  Academic integrity is our strength.  Through our scholarly discussions and debate, we can find a way forward together.  This is the AOM's purpose and this cannot and will not change.

  • 6.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-07-2017 12:49

    SO...

    I am a member of two divisions in the Academy and I receive list serve mail from a few more.   In every division I know of, there is a similar discussion in progress.  In each division, the Division head/leadership is citing the AOM's policy on not talking political stands.    I have copied that policy below from the AOM website.  It has no history nor explanation, at least that I can find.    Where did this policy come from?  When was it enacted and why?    What does "political activity" mean in the context of the policy?   Are ALL objections against immoral government policies or actions to be construed as "political activity?"     If the Academy is going to maintain this rule, then the definition of what a "political stand" is must be  presented along with a justification and the history of deliberations which resulted in the policy.     I would also like to see a PROCESS established for when the Academy should take a position.  

     

    There are times where you MUST take a stand and speak truth to power.   There are times where being a moral being requires courage.    WE are living in such a time.    My reading of the AOM Code of Ethics leads me to believe that we should take a stand against the Executive Order on immigration.

    AOM Policy on Taking Political Stands

    The Academy of Management does not take political stands.  Officers and leaders are bound by this policy and may not make publicly stated political views in the name of the Academy or through use of Academy resources.

    Dear Fellow members,

     

    I fully endorse the objections of Dr  Hannes Zacher to the AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US. To exclude people from entering the US on the basis of religion, or of nationality is neither morally justifiable, nor a grounded approach to control the entering of terrorists. I thought that AOM stood for social responsibility and effective practices.

    I do agree that each nation state has a responsibility to manage its boundaries. But the measures should withstand the tests of effectiveness and morality.

    Euphemisms are here inappropriate.

    Cordially,

  • 7.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-02-2017 12:44

    How we respond, individually, what behavior we choose is clearly a personal choice. That said, I'd argue that boycotting scientific conferences accomplishes the intent; it divides us, and it serves to stymie and erode scientific progress. We must not allow ourselves to be divided, and we must not allow science to be relegated to a minor role in human discourse. To quote an American patriot, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately" (Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence).

    I'd suggest that Ghandi's satyagraha movement might be worth reflecting on before deciding how to respond personally (from Wikipedia): "I have also called it love-force or soul-force. In the application of satyagraha, I discovered in the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and compassion. For what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on oneself." Fear is a powerful motivating force, anger and hate are as well. These cannot be overcome by reflecting them back or withdrawing.

     

    Regarding 'hearing from SIOP,' it might provide some relief to know that as a division of the APA SIOP has already spoken out; see:

     

    https://mcmprodaaas.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/Multisociety%20Letter%20on%20Immigration%201-31-2017.pdf

     

    I have sent this link to the leadership of AOM imploring them to "urge the AOM Board of Governors to take up, with urgency, joining the growing list of signatories of the Multi-society Letter on Immigration." For those who would like to make her or his voice heard, here are the President and President-elect's emails:

     

    President Anita M. McGahan: amcgahan@rotman.utoronto.ca

     

    President-Elect Mary Ann Glynn: maryann.glynn.1@bc.edu

     

    If I may offer a personal opinion for consideration ... democracy, freedom, human rights, ethics, morality are not spectator sports. In the end, action always speak louder than words.

    I fully agree, since when is racism and bigotry a political issue. When will we speak about this? Maybe, when Trump goes one step ahead and decide to put people in camps and ......

    I wish we had the courage to come out and speak about this and be on the right side of this issue of grave concern. I personally stopped attending conferences in the US long time ago for hidden and not so hidden discrimination at hands of immigration officers in the US.

    Our mission is "To build a vibrant and supportive community of scholars by markedly expanding opportunities to connect and explore ideas."  To fulfill this mission, the AOM will soon hold specialized conferences outside the United States on topics proposed by and of interest to members.  Please see our website for information on this initiative.  I invite you to submit a proposal if you are interested in leading one.  We also will continue working with our affiliates and associates around the world who convene meetings in support of management scholarship and teaching. 

    The vision of the AOM is to inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations.  I encourage AOM members to double down on the scholarly agenda. Let us be more engaged, creative, and committed to scholarship and teaching on the issues of our day.  Let us stand together in Atlanta in solidarity with our diverse membership as the world's premiere association of management scholars and business-school professors.  Academic integrity is our strength.  Through our scholarly discussions and debate, we can find a way forward together.  This is the AOM's purpose and this cannot and will not change.

  • 9.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-10-2017 14:19

    Colleagues,


    I believe we have a huge task ahead of us, in addition to a public statement. I explain this as follows:


    I believe that the immigration ban (or Muslim ban) forces us to pay attention to multiple aspects or sides of the issue! Both the academy and universities out there have the responsibility to react to this serious issue that impacts our world in various ways.


    I agree with those who have expressed their rejection to the academy issuing an opinion on issue and speaking on behalf the membership. The diversity of backgrounds and views of the issue among members would not allow for this approach of the unique position. This goes against the spirit of the academy which is to facilitate the intersection of differing opinions and views.


    One major thing I believe the academy could do is to hold a forum (digitally?) to gather the multiple views on the issue offered by the membership!


    The other area of study should the impact of these measures (the ban, the "capture" and deportation of undocumented immigrants, and any other on the works) on our universities! The academic research, the teaching, and the student body all could be impacted! This section should include the consideration of any reaction by the countries sanctioned or affected which might retaliate or some other actions.


    Since the academy's business is business, and since business is international (a group of top US business executives sent an open letter to HBR with a manifest that business should always be considered as international), we must discuss/study the impact of these measure on domestic and foreign businesses! In the US, tech businesses, restaurants and hotels, meat packing plants, farmers, and even home building business, among others are affected by these measures. The international colleagues could lead the effort related to the impact on their own countries.


    One more aspect that should be of concern is the one dealing with international business and trade! All the talk about immigration and trade will have a tremendous impact on our business organizations, the economy, etc. I believe that it is our obligation as researches and teachers of business and management to study what the impact will be!

     

    In the near future, it looks very possible, we might find ourselves studying how our higher education has been changed! I think!


    Thanks,

    Ivan

    Dear all,

     

    Not only as someone indirectly affected by the executive order on immigration (one of my German-born and -raised PhD students has dual citizenship of Germany and Iran, and is now not allowed to/afraid of travelling to U.S. conferences), I was disappointed and appalled that the leaders of AOM did not clearly condemn this order (see below). Since when is discrimination based on nationality and religion a political issue, and why did AOM adopt the euphemism "travel restrictions"? Also, has someone seen this AOM policy in written form? Many U.S. universities, large companies, and other professional organizations have explicitly and strongly rejected the executive order (still waiting to hear from SIOP...). Since we study topics like discrimination and (ethical) leadership, I wonder if there are any leaders in the OB field willing to lean in and take a stand now that AOM leadership seems incapable of doing so? Personally, out of solidarity with my student and others affected by this order (and the political climate in general), I have decided not to attend conferences in the U.S. this year – however, I realize that this is a complex issue and of course I respect other decisions and understand that there are downsides to boycotts, see also https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2017/jan/30/should-academics-boycott-donald-trumps-america?).

    Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Academy of Management:

    I'm writing to you today as President of the AOM in the wake of the Executive Order signed by President Trump to suspend entry into the United States of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.  

    Thank you to those who have written to me and to other officers about the new restrictions on travel and their implications for AOM.   Thanks as well to those of you who have posted on listservs and social media.  The scores of messages that I have read reflect the diversity of our 20,000 members, and of the political, social and cultural traditions of the 127 nations where we live and work.  Our members hold a range of views on the public policies that have recently been implemented.   Many of you have expressed concern about travel to the Annual Meeting in Atlanta; many are interpreting the Executive Order as a direct attack on scholarship; and some are worried about the implication for pluralism on all sides of this issue.   A number of you have asked the AOM to condemn the order as antithetical to scholarly values, academic freedom, and democratic processes.  Yet because of our very diversity, the AOM has long had a binding policy that restricts any officer from taking a stand on any political issue in the name of the AOM.

  • 10.  AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    Posted 02-08-2017 12:32
    I believe if the following line was deleted from the AOM President's message, it was more or less effective " Yet because of our very diversity, the AOM has long had a binding policy that restricts any officer from taking a stand on any political issue in the name of the AOM.."

    On a positive note, I would also like to mention that many universities in USA had issued official statements expressing their disagreement with the travel ban. I also read a much stronger statement from AOM OB division.

    I agree with my colleagues about differentiating between politics and injustice. I believe some confusion may stem from personal distance from the issue. Some of us have international students and international colleagues from these countries, some don't. Those who have some personal connection with the issue may have a better understanding of the implications.

    I am a legal resident in USA. At the early stages of the ban, it was really disturbing to hear that even green card holders were stopped from entering the country. One had to wonder, "What if this ban affected me as well? What if I was away on an international conference and was stopped from coming back? What if it happened when I was a PhD student on F1 visa? I have a two year old daughter at home. What if I could not see her?" I believe this clearly is an issue of injustice because due processes expected in a civil society were overstepped. Does someone have a right to stop you from coming back to your own home and bar you from seeing your family without any explanation and notice?

    Of course, in addition to the lack of due process for people who had valid visas and legal resident status, there is a larger issue of values when we ban certain group of people. I am on the side of my colleagues who disagree with this policy and view it as discrimination.

    CALL FOR PAPERS

    INSEAD Doriot Entrepreneurship Conference

    Fontainebleau, France 5-6 May 2017

    Organizers: Stephen Mezias, Rose Luo, and Balagopal (Bala) Vissa

    Invited Participants already on the schedule: Prof. Rudy Durand of HEC Paris and Prof. Michael Tushman of Harvard.

    Entrepreneurship has become a very active research topic in organization theory and strategy, spurred by interest in the birth of new industries, the rejuvenation of existing industries through new technologies or markets, new ways of organizing as well as the dynamics of entry in existing industries. Much research on entrepreneurship addresses a broad theoretical agenda that is also relevant to organization theorists and strategists, such as its insights on new organizational populations examined by organizational ecology; change and differentiation in institutions; the reorganization of industries through richer networks and finer specialization; organizational and knowledge contexts and transition into entrepreneurship; effectiveness of new venture strategies & organization design approaches and so forth. It is the goal of the conference to stimulate further research in these and related areas.

    We are seeking high quality papers employing varied theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, exploring a broad range of entrepreneurial phenomenon. Examples include intra-organizational phenomena such as the assembly of existing inventions and ideas for commercialization to generate internal ventures or spin-offs. Organizational boundary phenomena include organizing for new business development from own knowledge stock versus developing and relying on external capabilities. Organizational phenomena include how ventures come to structure the niches they occupy and adapt to other ventures. Entrepreneur phenomena include formation and development of an identity for the venture.

    Submission information:

    Submission Deadline: Wednesday 14 February 2017

    Acceptance Notification: Monday 28 February 2017

    What to submit: An extended abstract of 5 pages + references

    Submit to: doriot.conference@insead.edu<mailto:doriot.conference@insead.edu> . Please mail your submission with the subject line: "IDEC Paper Submission".

    Please direct questions about the conference to one of the organizers at: Stephen.mezias@insead.edu<mailto:Stephen.mezias@insead.edu> or xiaowei.luo@insead.edu<mailto:xiaowei.luo@insead.edu> or balagopal.vissa@insead.edu<mailto:balagopal.vissa@insead.edu>

    Subject: Re: AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US

    SO...
    I am a member of two divisions in the Academy and I receive list serve mail from a few more. In every division I know of, there is a similar discussion in progress. In each division, the Division head/leadership is citing the AOM's policy on not talking political stands. I have copied that policy below from the AOM website. It has no history nor explanation, at least that I can find. Where did this policy come from? When was it enacted and why? What does "political activity" mean in the context of the policy? Are ALL objections against immoral government policies or actions to be construed as "political activity?" If the Academy is going to maintain this rule, then the definition of what a "political stand" is must be presented along with a justification and the history of deliberations which resulted in the policy. I would also like to see a PROCESS established for when the Academy should take a position.

    There are times where you MUST take a stand and speak truth to power. There are times where being a moral being requires courage. WE are living in such a time. My reading of the AOM Code of Ethics leads me to believe that we should take a stand against the Executive Order on immigration.

    John Bunch

    AOM Policy on Taking Political Stands
    The Academy of Management does not take political stands. Officers and leaders are bound by this policy and may not make publicly stated political views in the name of the Academy or through use of Academy resources.

    Dear Fellow members,

    I fully endorse the objections of Dr Hannes Zacher to the AOM President's Message about "travel restrictions" to US. To exclude people from entering the US on the basis of religion, or of nationality is neither morally justifiable, nor a grounded approach to control the entering of terrorists. I thought that AOM stood for social responsibility and effective practices.
    I do agree that each nation state has a responsibility to manage its boundaries. But the measures should withstand the tests of effectiveness and morality.
    Euphemisms are here inappropriate.

    Dear all,

    Not only as someone indirectly affected by the executive order on immigration (one of my German-born and -raised PhD students has dual citizenship of Germany and Iran, and is now not allowed to/afraid of travelling to U.S. conferences), I was disappointed and appalled that the leaders of AOM did not clearly condemn this order (see below). Since when is discrimination based on nationality and religion a political issue, and why did AOM adopt the euphemism "travel restrictions"? Also, has someone seen this AOM policy in written form? Many U.S. universities, large companies, and other professional organizations have explicitly and strongly rejected the executive order (still waiting to hear from SIOP...). Since we study topics like discrimination and (ethical) leadership, I wonder if there are any leaders in the OB field willing to lean in and take a stand now that AOM leadership seems incapable of doing so? Personally, out of solidarity with my student and others affected by this order (and the political climate in general), I have decided not to attend conferences in the U.S. this year - however, I realize that this is a complex issue and of course I respect other decisions and understand that there are downsides to boycotts, see also https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2017/jan/30/should-academics-boycott-donald-trumps-america?).

    Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Academy of Management:

    I'm writing to you today as President of the AOM in the wake of the Executive Order signed by President Trump to suspend entry into the United States of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.

    Thank you to those who have written to me and to other officers about the new restrictions on travel and their implications for AOM. Thanks as well to those of you who have posted on listservs and social media. The scores of messages that I have read reflect the diversity of our 20,000 members, and of the political, social and cultural traditions of the 127 nations where we live and work. Our members hold a range of views on the public policies that have recently been implemented. Many of you have expressed concern about travel to the Annual Meeting in Atlanta; many are interpreting the Executive Order as a direct attack on scholarship; and some are worried about the implication for pluralism on all sides of this issue. A number of you have asked the AOM to condemn the order as antithetical to scholarly values, academic freedom, and democratic processes. Yet because of our very diversity, the AOM has long had a binding policy that restricts any officer from taking a stand on any political issue in the name of the AOM.

    I can affirm as President that the AOM stands behinds its vision, mission, objectives, and core values. The AOM fervently values all its members. We are committed to inclusion, supportive communities, and social and academic freedom as fundamental and undeniable tenets of scholarly association. Our values emphasize the full diversity of member backgrounds and experiences. The AOM Statement of Values expresses that "We respect each of our members' voices and seek to amplify their ideas." To enact our values, we are taking initiatives on several fronts. First, the AOM is suspending the requirement of attendance as a condition of inclusion in the program at the Annual Meeting for those affected by the travel restrictions. All scholars whose work is accepted to the conference but are not able to enter the United States from travel-restricted countries will have access to sessions in which they are presenting through virtual means. Second, we will also share with you, via our website, the best information that we have about Visa application processes for those who want to attend. We encourage any member from the affected countries who wishes to attend but cannot because of travel restrictions to contact us so that we can work with you toward participation.

    Our mission is "To build a vibrant and supportive community of scholars by markedly expanding opportunities to connect and explore ideas." To fulfill this mission, the AOM will soon hold specialized conferences outside the United States on topics proposed by and of interest to members. Please see our website<http://AOM.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01ODc2ODI2JnA9MSZ1PTc2ODAxMDY1NyZsaT00MDY2ODkyNQ/index.html> for information on this initiative. I invite you to submit a proposal if you are interested in leading one. We also will continue working with our affiliates and associates around the world who convene meetings in support of management scholarship and teaching.

    The vision of the AOM is to inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations. I encourage AOM members to double down on the scholarly agenda. Let us be more engaged, creative, and committed to scholarship and teaching on the issues of our day. Let us stand together in Atlanta in solidarity with our diverse membership as the world's premiere association of management scholars and business-school professors. Academic integrity is our strength. Through our scholarly discussions and debate, we can find a way forward together. This is the AOM's purpose and this cannot and will not change.

    Sincerely,

    The Sustainability, Ethics & Entrepreneurship <http://seeconf.org/> (SEE) Conference is now open!

    For those who are less familiar with the SEE (http://seeconf.org/), here are some reasons to attend our annual conference in Puerto Rico (March 1-2,
    2017):

    - The SEE attracts scholars who recognize that sustainability and ethics
    are business growth engines (rather than acts of compliance).
    - Our philosophy is that SEE-related problems can only be addressed when
    scholars, practitioners, activists and governments work together as
    communities rather than in isolation.
    - Since its inception in 2012, the SEE enjoyed an annual growth of
    15-20% a year, and this year we attracted scholars from 30 different
    countries and our growth rate exceeded 30%. As a result, the SEE is now
    the largest conference in this space (~200 attendees).
    - This year's keynote speakers are *Saras Sarasvathy* (University of
    Virginia) and *Wesley Sine* (Cornell University).
    - Our PDW is led by Jeff York (University of Colorado - Boulder) and
    sponsored by the *Journal of Management Studies* (JMS) and the *Society
    for Advancement of Management Studies* (SAMS).
    - PDW mentors include: Sylvia Dorado (University of Rhode Island), Bill
    Forster (Lehigh University), Matthew Grimes (Indiana University), Tim
    Hargrave (Central Washington University), Desiree Pacheco (Portland State
    University), Jill Purdy (University of Washington - Tacoma), Tyler Wry
    (Wharton, University of Pennsylvania), and JMS Editors:
    Dries Faems (General Editor) and Li-Qun Wei (Associate Editor).

    Should you decide to join us, don't forget your sunscreen and sunglasses.

    Subject: My new book, Stretch

    Dear Fellow OB Division Members,

    I'm excited to let you know about a new book of mine published by HarperCollins today titled, "Stretch: Unlock the Power of Less - And Achieve More Than You Ever Imagined."

    Stretch offers an engaging, scientifically-grounded, and practical guide to becoming resourceful to help people and organizations do more with whatever they have. It shows why everyone-from executives to entrepreneurs, professionals to parents, athletes to artists-performs better with constraints; why seeking too many resources undermines our work and well-being; and why even those with a lot benefit from making the most out of a little. It's written with rich stories, grounded in a wide range of research in organizational behavior, social psychology, and marketing.

    Learn more about Stretch at www.ScottSonenshein.com<http://www.ScottSonenshein.com> where you can also "Test Your Stretch" and watch the video trailer of the book.

    If you get the chance to read Stretch, drop me a line and let me know what you think.

    All the best,
    Scott

    Subject: Postdoc fellowship - Vanderbilt, Owen Graduate School of Management

    Hi all,

    We are seeking a postdoc fellow in HR/OB. Please see the attached position announcement for details.

    Tae-Youn 'Ty' Park
    Assistant Professor
    Owen Graduate School of Management
    Vanderbilt University



    Post‐Doctoral Fellowship in Organization Studies
    (2017)

    The Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University is offering two‐year post‐doctoral fellowships for newly‐graduating Ph.D.s in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management, covering topics such as employment relationships, human capital, compensation, ethics, and negotiation.

    Post docs are expected to work closely with Owen faculty on new research projects, while making progress toward publication of their current work. To be eligible, candidates must complete their Ph.D. by summer 2017. The strongest candidates will be those whose interests align closely with Owen faculty, and where the post‐doc and faculty member can foresee developing joint research projects. We encourage applicants to look in detail at Owen faculty research, and identify faculty with similar interests and ongoing research activity (http://www.owen.vanderbilt.edu/faculty-and-research/academic-areas/organization-studies.cfm).

    The two‐year fellowship will begin in August of 2017. The pay is $50,000 a year, plus benefits as well as an annual $2,500 allowance for research/ conference‐related travel and expenses. In addition, the school will provide computers and computer support. During the period of the fellowship, the fellows are expected to be in residence, work with faculty on research projects, participate in research seminars in the school, and, as needed, teach one 7‐week MBA course each year or otherwise contribute to the teaching and research mission of the school.

    The Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University is dedicated exclusively to graduate management education. It has an enrollment of over 500 full‐time students in its full‐time MBA, Health Care MBA, Executive MBA, Americas MBA for Executives, Master of Science in Finance, Masters of Accountancy, Masters of Marketing, and Masters of Management in Health Care programs. The school's 50 full‐time faculty members are actively engaged in research, which is supported in part through the school's four research centers. Owen enrolls students from all parts of the United States and 30 countries.

    To apply, send a cover letter explaining your background and interest in working with specific Owen faculty member(s), c.v., three letters of recommendation, and a sample research paper to OrgStudiesSearch@owen.vanderbilt.edu. <mailto:OrgStudiesSearch@owen.vanderbilt.edu> Please have letters sent directly. Candidates are encouraged to apply by March 1, 2017, but we will accept later applications as long as the position is not yet filled.

    Vanderbilt is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer
