Just following-up on this conversation from last year - I'm wondering if anyone from ALSB is going to AOM in Montreal in August?

Subject: Re: AoM meeting in Summer
I agree with David. We have a lot to offer this group. I've presented two papers at AoM (different years), both through Business Policy and Strategy group. There is a SIM group (Social Issues in Mgmt), which I've encouraged to go SLIM (Social and Legal Issues in Mgmt). No progress yet. Apparently ethics folks are afraid of being overrun by lawyers. While our meeting is far more interesting and collegial, I think it's great that folks like David are intrepid enough to go into the lion's den. I think that Robert Bird would do just fine at AoM but would encourage him (and others) to submit a paper and to go with some of their management colleagues. It's a lot more fun when you are presenting and know someone. Having said all that, I won't be going to AoM this year. Connie

Robert,
I have attended the last two AoM conferences, and submitted a paper to present there co-authored with another faculty member here in the Org. Behavior field dealing with traditional knowledge and intelelctual property. I agree, the AoM format is a bit crazy with over 3,000 attendees.
But, I think the interdisciplinary work being developed and presented there offers me a lot. Just my own opinion.
Recently, I am starting to gravitate towards two specific divisions: the Business Policy and Strategy (BPS) division ( http://www.bpsdiv.org/ ) and the Critical Management Studies division (CMS)
( http://group.aomonline.org/cms/ ).
I like these two in particular since they tend to be more welcoming to interdisciplinary research, and are not quite so hung up on quantitative research (proving a hypothesis using numbers), but instead they are much more open to qualitative research (proving a hypothesis with words). They are also very interested in management issues dealing with law.
Believe me, based on the papers I just finished reviewing for the upcoming conference, the AoM can benefit a lot from greater exposure to scholars with legal expertise!
Respectfully,
David

To piggyback on David's query, if anyone would like to tell the uninitiated among us what the AoM conference is like for us business law folks, I'm all ears.

Subject: AoM meeting in Summer
Dear Colleagues,
Is anyone planning to attend the Academy of Management's annual conference this summer in Chicago? I plan to attend attend it right after the ALSB Annual Conference. I am a member of the AoM and was asked to review papers that will be presented at the conference, in the Business Policy and Strategy (BPS) division, which touches on many law-related topics. Please let me know if you will be there, I would like to connect with my fellow ALSB members there!
Best,
David

Point of clarification: I went off, among other reasons, because I could not keep my fingers shut. I have since taken up manicures (and pedicures) and they seem to be doing better. I think.

Subject: Political Discussion
I have just come back from a couple of days out of email contact and see
that there is a list of emails with the same subject line political
messages.
My comments for what it is worth:
a) We all tend to vastly overstate how many emails we get -- at a rough
count, there are 28 on the topic of political discussion.
b) Since I am behind in my other emails, I'm afraid I am mostly just
deleting these 28. That has taken approxmiately 2-3 moments in total.
c) Personally, it feels really good to be shortening the dreaded in box
so rapidly!
d) My life is neither so exciting, nor so busy that I would like to stop
people on the odd occasion they do, saying what they do, just so I can
save 2-3 minutes.
e) Ginny -- if you got off the listserve because you thought you
offended people (ok -- in the 2-3 minutes I actually also skimmed some
emails as well), then that is daft. I don't know that you did. And if
you did, then other people are too sensitive is my bet.
In sum: just make sure you all keep a consistent subject line so that we
can delete if we aren't interested and read if we are. Self-censoring
really doesn't work. Having a separate list-serve we have found in the
past (we have done that before) does not work -- noone remembers, noone
uses it, and they still use alsbtalk. All kinds of people interpret all
kinds of things as offensive that others do not (see point e. above).
