COMMENTS FROM THE MOC
PROGRAM CHAIR
This year we received 185 paper submissions and 30 symposia submissions. My thanks go to all those reviewers who contributed to the total of 622 completed reviews. In our program we have 14 Division Paper Sessions, 28 Interactive Papers, 28 Visual Papers, and 20 Symposia, sponsored or co-sponsored by the MOC Division. The Division Paper Sessions feature a diverse and interesting range of topics, including the following: ‘Team Learning’, ‘Cognitive, Affective and Behavioral Processes in Leadership’, ‘Information Processing and Sensemaking in Crises and Uncertainty’, and ‘Knowledge, Expertise, Creativity and Innovation’ Many fine symposia proposals were received and it is within this element of the program that particularly difficult choices had to be made. Among the many highlights within this stream of activity we have a symposium reflecting the theme of the conference, ’Green Management Matters’ entitled ‘The Mundane Roots of Dramatic Change: Linking Everyday Practices and Routines to Sustainability’. This symposium promises to offer an extremely engaging and informative set of interchanges with audience participation on the core theme of this year’s program. Other highlights include the symposium jointly sponsored with the OMT Division entitled ‘Managerial Work in Modern Organizational Contexts: New Work or New Challenges?’ and the symposium entitled ‘Status and Power in Organizations: New Perspectives on Conventional Wisdom’. As you plan your schedule, please be sure to add the MOC Welcome Session which will be held on Monday 10th August at 9:45AM in the Hyatt Regency (Truffles) where C. Marlena Fiol will be presenting a talk before receiving the 2009 MOC Division Distinguished Scholar Award. Please also note that the MOC Business Meeting will be held on Monday at 6:30PM in the Hyatt Regency (Wright), swiftly followed by the MOC Social Hour at 7:30PM in Truffles (also located in the Hyatt Regency). In short, we have an extremely strong program to be presented within the MOC Division at the 2009 Annual Meeting in Chicago and I look forward to seeing you there.

COMMENTS FROM THE MOC
DIVISION CHAIR
As you may know, MOC is
currently undergoing its second five-year division review.
The review provided us with an opportunity to look back at our
progress over the last five years and to think about positioning the
Division for continued success in the next five years and beyond.
My thanks to all of you who responded to the division review
survey, which was one of the most important inputs into the process.
Your assessments of the Division’s strengths and areas for
improvement have provided the Executive Committee with very useful ideas
to enhance the functioning of the Division.
I will share with you the findings of the review, as well as the
action steps that it has generated, once the Academy headquarters has
completed the review process.
In the meantime, I would
like to point out new initiatives that we have already implemented this
year. As of March 2009, we
have begun sending welcome e-mails to new members at the end of the
month in which they join the Division.
The e-mail provides a brief overview of the Division and points
new members to the Division’s resources and services.
To enhance the services we provide to members as well as to
enable greater member participation in governing the Division, we have
established three new committees.
The Communication Committee is headed by Tim Vogus and manages
the Division’s communication through its website, listserv, newsletter,
and other media. The
Outreach and Integration Committee is headed by Sally Maitlis and works
on ways to improve outreach to and integration of all members of the
Division; connecting members from different locations, membership types,
methodological orientations, and theoretical domains.
The Student Services Committee is headed by Dan Gruber and works
on initiatives and tasks dedicated to improving the Division’s resources
for students. We will be
sending out a call for volunteers to serve on the new committees, and I
hope that many of you will find it an interesting and fruitful way to be
involved in the Division. Last year we created the
position of MOC Archivist on the MOC Executive Committee.
Tim Vogus has been great in the role, demonstrating ingenuity,
determination, and a tremendous amount of conscientiousness in digging
up and assembling the history of the MOC Division.
Some of this material is now on our webpage, and Tim continues to
update it regularly as he finds additional information.
Please visit our website at
http://division.aomonline.org/moc/ to check it out.
Also, if you have additional information that you believe should
be included in the various lists on the website, please send it to Tim
at
timothy.vogus@owen.vanderbilt.edu. Our Program Chair,
Gerard Hodgkinson, and our PDW Chair, Mark Martinko, have been hard at
work putting together an excellent MOC program at the Academy meetings
in Lastly, I am delighted
to announce that the MOC Distinguished Scholar this year is Marlena Fiol
of the Best wishes for a fun
and productive summer!
COMMENTS
FROM THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE-AT-LARGE
I hope this message finds you doing great. There are several exciting doctoral student initiatives that I wanted to fill you in on. Thanks to the generosity of Prentice Hall and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. we will have our second set of student reviewer awards in 2009. Six students will be recognized for their reviewing capabilities with awards that include $50 and a certificate of recognition. These students can use the money to subsidize portions of a hotel room, meals, etc. Additionally, Palgrave Macmillan has once again donated several copies of the book Authoring a PhD to the MOC division. I found this book to be quite helpful as I have worked on my dissertation. We will be giving five students their own copy of the book as door prizes at the MOC Business Meeting – we hope to see you there! I will be joining a couple of the board members
from the MOC Division at the New Doctoral Student Consortium’s “Meet the
division” roundtable.
Please encourage your doctoral student colleagues and/or incoming
students to stop by and say hello so they can learn about the exciting
things going on at MOC during the sessions in I am also working to create and coordinate the Student Services Committee (under the guidance of Luis Martins). The committee will work on the existing student programs (e.g., student reviewer awards) and will come up with new initiatives to serve our student members. The committee will let several other students have the opportunity to make regular contributions to our division. I am looking forward to working with many of you on this initiative. Finally, I want to encourage doctoral students to submit their work to the Cognition in the Rough workshop. As you all know, this is an incredible event to receive feedback on research and it is a great opportunity for doctoral students to interact with senior MOC scholars. Please submit your proposals by June 15th to cirpdw@gmail.com; more details are available in the CIR Call for Papers, also in this newsletter. That is the news for now. Please email me at dagruber@umich.edu with any additional comments or suggestions. I look forward to seeing you all in August. With warm wishes, Dan
