Operation and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) 

2023 Division PDW Program: Call for Submissions 

PDW Chair: Anand Nair, Michigan State University

The Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) Division invites you to submit creative and innovative proposals for Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) for the 2023 Academy of Management Annual Meeting. PDWs will take place on Friday, 4 August 2023 and Saturday, 5 August 2023. Scholarly sessions will take place on Monday, 7 August 2023 and Tuesday, 8 August 2023.  

The OSCM Division encourages PDWs that build knowledge and share expertise oriented towards emerging research themes and methods as well as management practice in the OSCM area. PDW sessions are also intended for professional development of the participants, so sessions around research and teaching development are called for. PDWs can take different formats, such as workshops, tutorials, debates, roundtable discussions, panel discussions, facility tours, etc. 

We highly encourage PDW proposals that link to other divisions/interest groups with joint sponsorship as well as ones that reflect the conference theme – ‘ Putting the Worker Front and Center’.  Acceptance will be based on (a) relevance to the interests of the Division’s membership, (b) creativity and innovation, and (c) plan for creating an inclusive, interactive, and developmental session. (Note: Traditional presentations of research papers should be submitted to the Scholarly Program portion of the Annual Meeting). 

Proposals must be submitted online via the AOM Submission Center. Please submit all proposals along with any joint-division “sponsorship” suggestions using this website. We certainly welcome proposals that are of interest to members of other divisions (e.g., ENT, HCM, MC, MOC, OMT, PNP, SAP, SIM, ONE, STR, TIM). 

Deadline for Submissions is  Tuesday, 10 January 2023 at 17:00 ET (GMT-5/UTC-5).  Early submissions are highly encouraged. Please note that all PDW participants must commit to participation in advance.
