Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to join us in the upcoming AoM Caucus titled
“Design in Management: Themes, Challenges, and Opportunities”, which
will take place on Monday, August 8, from 4:45-6:15pm at the Anaheim
Convention Center in room 213A.
The goal of this Caucus is to build a community of scholars at AoM
interested in studying design and its role for management. Rather than
taking a normative approach, we plan to let themes, challenges, and
opportunities emerge from the bottom up by asking participants to share
their current design-related projects. First, we will discuss these
projects’ intended contributions to the management field and the
challenges participants have met in doing design-related research.
Together, we can then map out the progress that has been done and share
practices to overcome common challenges. Then, we will focus on
fostering the emergence of new projects. We will ask participants to
list their skills and/or assets – e.g., theory development, methodology,
data access – and organize them in groups around themes that seem
promising, either because they build on what people is doing or because
they are still largely absent from the design research landscape which
emerged from the caucus. We will encourage each group to develop one new
research project by leveraging its members’ complementary skills and
shared interest on the topic.
Pre‐registration is not required. Further details the Caucus’ rationale
and content can be found in the attachment. Please feel free to contact
Fabio Fonti (

(

Sincerely,
Fabio Fonti (ESC Rennes School of Business) and Ileana Stigliani
