I. General
- Opening Remarks – Bert Cannella welcomed the executive committee members to the meeting and briefly described the agenda. Bert thanked outgoing EC members Dawn Harris, Bruce Lamont, Bente Lowendahl, Anita McGahan, and Jim Westphal. Bert welcomed new EC members Tom Brush, Marjorie Lyles, Rich Makadok, Margie Richard Priem, and Mary Tripsas.
- Approval of Minutes from Winter Executive Committee Meeting – Bert Cannella noted that Dave Ketchen had distributed the minutes from the Winter Meeting electronically. The minutes were approved.
II. Business Items
- Discussion of consortia leadership and participant composition – At the last Winter Meeting, it was decided that the EC needed to play a stronger role in governing the consortia. In particular, the EC will select the chairs and approve the list of participants. This is meant to ensure representation of various approaches to strategy, methodologies, types of schools, genders, and geographic regions. Extensive discussion resulted in three decisions:
- Jim Walsh was selected to be the doctoral consortium co-chair for next year. PDW chair Jim Westphal will extend the invitation. Two alternates were also selected.
- Because the appointed new faculty consortium chair will not be able to perform these duties, both a chair (Joe Mahoney) and a co-chair (Ken Smith) were selected. Alternates were also chosen.
- Due to concerns about the participant composition for the 2003 doctoral consortium, Jim Westphal will ask the chairs to add two “behavioral” people and remove one “economist.”
- Treasurer’s Report – Bill Bogner reported that the division’s finances are in excellent shape. A detailed budget was distributed and will appear in the fall newsletter.
- Awards – Discussion of awards was postponed until the Business Meeting on Tuesday night due to time constraints.
- 2002 Conference Program – Javier Gimeno reported that 20% of all submissions this year were sent to our division. Detailed discussion of the program was postponed until the Business Meeting.
- Journal Survey – In closing the meeting, Bert Cannella reported that the division membership will soon be invited to complete a survey via the web on their experiences with various top journals.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:02 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dave Ketchen
