    In a world beset with rising international terrorism, economic uncertainties, and flagrant violation of human values, many believe that leaders have lost their moral bearings. Never before in the history of humankind has there been a greater need for exemplary leaders-leaders who are both good and great, leaders who can show us a way out of our current moral morass and spiritual chaos. The unique leadership challenges facing organizations throughout the world today call for an even greater renewed focus on what constitutes "values-based leadership." The need for leaders who are authentic, principled, and spiritually grounded is greater now than ever. We need holistic leaders and holistic systems that are able to integrate the spiritual and the material perspectives in a dialectical manner. Recent studies have also shown that values traditionally associated with spirituality-such as integrity, honesty, trust, kindness, caring, fairness, and humility-have a demonstrable effect on leadership effectiveness and success. We aver that a steady spiritual compass-anchored in the universal moral values-is sorely needed for the leaders to stay the course. Working collaboratively with the participants, in this workshop the facilitators will interactively determine which ethico- spiritual values may be considered universally prized. We will also explore questions such as: Are humans wired for altruism? Why leaders need to morally and spiritually centered? The workshop will also draw upon various wisdom traditions of the world to create a road map for enlightened leadership.

    In line with the conference theme "At the Interface", this PDW seeks to bring together members of the "Virtue Ethics in Business" community of scholars and other interested parties to share experiences and to strategize on how to bridge the gaps often found between research, teaching, and practice. The virtue ethics perspective is especially equipped to face this integration challenge because it is premised on the belief that individual human excellence (areté, the Greek word for "virtue", meaning "excellence") goes hand in hand with the excellence of institutions (including firms) and of society as a whole (Moore & Beadle, 2006); a human is thus ethical (or not) as a person in all his or her roles. We would therefore like to work towards realizing the full potential of this ethical, socioeconomic, organizational and political tradition of thought with more than 2000 years of history. The workshop begins with a general introduction to virtue ethics followed by interaction to clarify definitional issues and challenges. Next come three brief presentations focusing on the state of the art of virtue ethics in business applied to and bridging the domains of research, teaching and business engagement. These are followed by moderated roundtables that explore ways to bridge the gaps between research, teaching and practice. The workshop ends with the development of a vision to take the community forward through concrete projects such as grants and special issues. The PDW will be followed by the launch of the "Springer Handbook on Virtue Ethics in Business and Management".

    The vision of the Academy of Management (AOM) is to "inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations." This PDW is an expression of this vision and the 2017 AOM Annual Meeting theme "At the Interface" by gathering thought leading scholars across management disciplines to share ideas and provocations about how organizations and organizational members can become part of the solution to the social, environmental, political, and economic crises facing humanity today. A humanistic perspective of management (Pirson & Turnbull, 2011; Pirson & Lawrence, 2010; Spitzeck, Pirson, Amann, Khan, & Kimakowitz, 2009) involves developing new and impactful insights to manage well-being at the interface of purpose, value, functions, and practices of business in interaction with a range of stakeholders and the planet itself. The goal of this workshop is to generate solution-building paradigmatic bridges by engaging interdisciplinary conversation and strengthening ongoing cross- disciplinary work related to a diversity of ideas, including: dignity, wisdom, sustainability, positive organizational scholarship, transformational leadership, spirituality, Eastern philosophy, mindfulness, authenticity, compassion, caring, ethics, behavioral governance, social responsibility, benevolence, democracy, human capital, and organizational change. Inspired by resources spanning from current organizing theories and practices to ancient spiritual traditions and philosophies, this PDW is designed to seed and propagate dialog, research initiatives, and teaching efficacy linked to eliciting, leveraging, and amplifying humanistic practices in organizing. Introductory remarks by thought leading panelists, followed by audience rotations among facilitated roundtable discussions, will provoke novel thinking, energize problem-solving, advance scholarship, and support teaching across AOM divisions for the well-being and betterment of humanity.

    In accord with the 2017 Academy of Management (AOM) theme – At the Interface – this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) proposes to discuss and debate 'interstitial openings' driven by emerging connectedness of businesses in society with various stakeholders and systems. AOM scholars interested in different aspects of businesses acting in society (e.g., SIM, ONE, MSR, CMS, PTC) will tackle the question: What are the (future) distinctive competencies of business in society scholarship 'at the interface' in a world of both collapsing boundaries and increasing connectedness in enterprises and in our own world of research? The question will highlight the ways in which scholars investigating business in society issues, including responsible practice, ecological impacts, spirituality at work, and critique of the system potentially combined with each other. This PDW proposal brings together a number of scholars with interests in all of these areas to help frame these questions: Jegoo Lee (current states of business in society research), Sandra Waddock (business in society across AOM), Jim Walsh (business in society as the soul of AOM), Dawn Elm (business in society's distinctive missions), Don Siegel (focusing on the micro level), Irene Henriques (business in society research spillover), Michael Barnett (societal outcomes), Jamie Hendry (sustainability as systems thinking), Paul Adler (political-economy and business in society), Kathryn Goldman-Schuyler (action research on healthy organizations), and Laura Albareda (value creation). This workshop comprises a working conversation on moving the field forward.

    And this concludes the PDW tour, 
    time for the MSR Business Meeting and Social - Saturday evening!

    ". . . time for the MSR Business Meeting and Social - Saturday evening!"

    Sounds-like fun; please let us know of any particular work by Lonergan scholars (including yourself!), or any initiatives particularly applauded by the Academy that relate to L's work.

    PS - what kind of businesses buy space in the exhibition hall?

    This Research Consortium it is a great way to meet new colleagues, learn and share a lot and get support for your research projects.  It is also a time when we all can help MSR build a stronger community that lifts all of the work (research, teaching, organizational leadership in organizations ) that our larger community is involved with throughout the world.

     

    Check out the MSR PROGRAM -- http://my.aom.org/program2017/k   and in the filter area of ALL Session Types  choose All Sessions and under SPONSORS choose MSR.

    In a world beset with rising international terrorism, economic uncertainties, and flagrant violation of human values, many believe that leaders have lost their moral bearings. Never before in the history of humankind has there been a greater need for exemplary leaders-leaders who are both good and great, leaders who can show us a way out of our current moral morass and spiritual chaos. The unique leadership challenges facing organizations throughout the world today call for an even greater renewed focus on what constitutes "values-based leadership." The need for leaders who are authentic, principled, and spiritually grounded is greater now than ever. We need holistic leaders and holistic systems that are able to integrate the spiritual and the material perspectives in a dialectical manner. Recent studies have also shown that values traditionally associated with spirituality-such as integrity, honesty, trust, kindness, caring, fairness, and humility-have a demonstrable effect on leadership effectiveness and success. We aver that a steady spiritual compass-anchored in the universal moral values-is sorely needed for the leaders to stay the course. Working collaboratively with the participants, in this workshop the facilitators will interactively determine which ethico- spiritual values may be considered universally prized. We will also explore questions such as: Are humans wired for altruism? Why leaders need to morally and spiritually centered?

    In line with the conference theme "At the Interface", this PDW seeks to bring together members of the "Virtue Ethics in Business" community of scholars and other interested parties to share experiences and to strategize on how to bridge the gaps often found between research, teaching, and practice. The virtue ethics perspective is especially equipped to face this integration challenge because it is premised on the belief that individual human excellence (areté, the Greek word for "virtue", meaning "excellence") goes hand in hand with the excellence of institutions (including firms) and of society as a whole (Moore & Beadle, 2006); a human is thus ethical (or not) as a person in all his or her roles. We would therefore like to work towards realizing the full potential of this ethical, socioeconomic, organizational and political tradition of thought with more than 2000 years of history. The workshop begins with a general introduction to virtue ethics followed by interaction to clarify definitional issues and challenges. Next come three brief presentations focusing on the state of the art of virtue ethics in business applied to and bridging the domains of research, teaching and business engagement. These are followed by moderated roundtables that explore ways to bridge the gaps between research, teaching and practice. The workshop ends with the development of a vision to take the community forward through concrete projects such as grants and special issues. The PDW will be followed by the launch of the "Springer Handbook on Virtue Ethics in Business and Management".

    The vision of the Academy of Management (AOM) is to "inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations." This PDW is an expression of this vision and the 2017 AOM Annual Meeting theme "At the Interface" by gathering thought leading scholars across management disciplines to share ideas and provocations about how organizations and organizational members can become part of the solution to the social, environmental, political, and economic crises facing humanity today. A humanistic perspective of management (Pirson & Turnbull, 2011; Pirson & Lawrence, 2010; Spitzeck, Pirson, Amann, Khan, & Kimakowitz, 2009) involves developing new and impactful insights to manage well-being at the interface of purpose, value, functions, and practices of business in interaction with a range of stakeholders and the planet itself. The goal of this workshop is to generate solution-building paradigmatic bridges by engaging interdisciplinary conversation and strengthening ongoing cross- disciplinary work related to a diversity of ideas, including: dignity, wisdom, sustainability, positive organizational scholarship, transformational leadership, spirituality, Eastern philosophy, mindfulness, authenticity, compassion, caring, ethics, behavioral governance, social responsibility, benevolence, democracy, human capital, and organizational change. Inspired by resources spanning from current organizing theories and practices to ancient spiritual traditions and philosophies, this PDW is designed to seed and propagate dialog, research initiatives, and teaching efficacy linked to eliciting, leveraging, and amplifying humanistic practices in organizing. Introductory remarks by thought leading panelists, followed by audience rotations among facilitated roundtable discussions, will provoke novel thinking, energize problem-solving, advance scholarship, and support teaching across AOM divisions for the well-being and betterment of humanity.

    In accord with the 2017 Academy of Management (AOM) theme – At the Interface – this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) proposes to discuss and debate 'interstitial openings' driven by emerging connectedness of businesses in society with various stakeholders and systems. AOM scholars interested in different aspects of businesses acting in society (e.g., SIM, ONE, MSR, CMS, PTC) will tackle the question: What are the (future) distinctive competencies of business in society scholarship 'at the interface' in a world of both collapsing boundaries and increasing connectedness in enterprises and in our own world of research? The question will highlight the ways in which scholars investigating business in society issues, including responsible practice, ecological impacts, spirituality at work, and critique of the system potentially combined with each other. This PDW proposal brings together a number of scholars with interests in all of these areas to help frame these questions: Jegoo Lee (current states of business in society research), Sandra Waddock (business in society across AOM), Jim Walsh (business in society as the soul of AOM), Dawn Elm (business in society's distinctive missions), Don Siegel (focusing on the micro level), Irene Henriques (business in society research spillover), Michael Barnett (societal outcomes), Jamie Hendry (sustainability as systems thinking), Paul Adler (political-economy and business in society), Kathryn Goldman-Schuyler (action research on healthy organizations), and Laura Albareda (value creation). This workshop comprises a working conversation on moving the field forward.

     

    And this concludes the PDW tour, 

    time for the MSR Business Meeting and Social - Saturday evening!
