AOM 2008 @Anaheim Welcome Great afternoon of presentations in store Encourage you to stay for the entire symposium as the session is highly integrated and it will be easier for you to understand each person’s comments if you have heard the comment’s of others that they are referring to After each person speaks they will take a few short questions, then we will have 50 minutes folllowing the presentations for questions to the entire panel Following the presentation Peter will offer some insights on what you can take away from today’s PDW When the official program is over, the panelist have agreed to remain to meet with anyone who are interested in discussing issues further or has a personal question. They will each have a specific table set aside for small group discussions. Kathy recently informed us that she had a conflict come up, so she would not be able to make it today Organizers: Diana L.

Is the field becoming more sophisticated Is the field becoming more sophisticated? Don Hambrick: “Our field’s theory fetish, for instance, prevents the reporting of rich detail about interesting phenomena for which no theory yet exists. And it bans the reporting of facts—no matter how important or competently generated—that lack explanation, but that, once reported, might stimulate the search for an explanation.” AMJ, 2007, Vol. 50, No. 6, 1346–1352.
