NEW JMS DIALOGUE
The Journal of Management Studies invites you to participate in a live webinar on prescriptive theorizing in the context of societal grand challenges, which is part of the JMS Dialogues series:
Prescriptive Theorizing to Tackle Societal Grand Challenges: Promises and Perils
April 12, 2024
09:00-10:00 EST, 15:00-16:00 CET, 18:30-19:30 IST
Webinar link (Zoom): bit.ly/48TFcAJ
Drawing on a recent point-counterpoint discussion in the journal, the panelists offer insightful perspectives on how management theories can contribute to addressing grand challenges such as climate change and sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and digital transformation. Participants will discuss, among other things, what prescriptive theorizing is, why it can be useful and necessary in the context of grand challenges, and the potential pitfalls. There will also be time for questions from the audience.
The Point-Counterpoint debate can be open accessed here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/14676486/homepage/...
