We are delighted to announce that the Strategic Management Division will once again sponsor a Mid-Career Consortium during the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. This event is expected to take place on Sunday, 2 August in Philadelphia (please note that the timing is subject to AOM's scheduling and will be confirmed in Spring 2026).
The Consortium is designed for STR faculty members who attained tenure on or before August 2025 and possess a minimum of five years of academic experience. It will include panel discussions featuring senior faculty members, as well as break-out and/or Q&A sessions, providing mid-career faculty members with the opportunity to interact with each other and with the panel of senior faculty. This interactive session aims to foster meaningful discussions about the opportunities and challenges faced by scholars making the transition from junior to senior roles. We will create an opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other in a friendly and open environment. Also, we propose an optional dinner the evening before our discussions (tbc). Participants are encouraged to contribute questions or topics for discussion before the session via the registration link above.
The following panellists will participate: Theresa Cho (SNU Business School, Korea), Maria De Villa (EAFIT, Colombia), Aaron Hill (University of Florida, USA) and Samina Karim (Northeastern, USA). Please reach out to either or both of the Co-Chairs, Cindy Devers and Richard Whittington, with any questions.
We invite you to pre-register at the link above. We look forward to your active participation and meaningful contributions to the Mid-Career Consortium!
