Inclusive Academies
Understanding, Creating and Operating Inclusive Academies in Management
The aim of this professional development workshop (PDW) is to develop a better understanding of how scientific academies in the field of management may embrace the diversity and leverage the talents of their members by becoming truly inclusive organizations. Given the current organization of the academic ecosystem, it becomes critical to investigate how local and global dimensions of scientific academies can be configured in ways that contribute to enhance the learning and outreach opportunities that foster a more diverse and inclusive worldwide network of loosely interconnected academies.
In the first part of the PDW, Prof. David Kravitz will share his research and experience regards what works best to bridge the theory-practice gap in the field of diversity and inclusion, and Prof. Isabel Mertz will share AOM’s experience and view regarding diversity of its members and inclusive policies and practices. An invited panel of representatives of the AOM affiliated and associated academies will share the major opportunities and challenges their organizations are facing to become truly inclusive organizations.
The second part of the PDW is designed to facilitate a lively interactive discussion about a pre-selected promising set of issues in a roundtable format. Participants will be engaged in in-depth reasoning on specific areas in which policies and practices to leverage diversity and talents through inclusive policies may be developed and deployed within scientific academies in management.
