    Developing a Research Agenda to Advance Perspectives on Performativity 
    Friday, August 7, 2015 from 3:15 PM - 5:15 PM
    Sponsored by OMT, TIM, SAP, CMS

    This PDW offers participants an opportunity to develop in-depth exposure to current research developing theories of performativity that highlight the constitutive effects of theorization. Research on performativity has been conducted from a variety of perspectives, including organization theory, strategy, and technology studies. 

    Part 1: The first part of this PDW (3:15-4:15) is open to all participants. In the first part of the PDW, three senior scholars will present a perspective on performativity. 
    • Raghu Garud (Pennsylvania State U.) will describe how the notion of performativity applies to management thought; 
    • Jean-Pascal Gond and Laure Cabantous (both of Cass Business School, City U. London) will discuss the performativity of strategic knowledge; and 
    • Wanda Orlikowski (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) will explore the generative possibilities a performativity perspective offers to our understanding of technology in organizations. 
    Part 2: In the second part of the PDW, we offer participants the opportunity to submit research proposals and receive feedback in a roundtable format. In addition to the presenters named above, Susan Scott and Daniel Beunza (both of the London School of Economics) will participate as roundtable discussion leaders.

    To participate in the second part of the PDW, send a 1500 word research proposal or extended abstract to the PDWorganizers: Joel Gehman (jgehman@ualberta.ca) and Vern Glaser (vglaser@ualberta.ca). The submission deadline is July 15, 2015. 

    Once you submit your proposal we will provide you with a code to register for Part 2 of the PDWat https://secure.aom.org/PDWReg.
