- General
- Welcome –Bert Cannella welcomed all in attendance and provided an overview of the agenda.
- Minutes – Dave Ketchen distributed the minutes from the August Executive Committee Meeting in advance. The EC approved the minutes without alterations.
- Reports
- Anita McGahan and Dawn Harris reported on the Mid-Career Workshop to be offered at the Academy. There will be up to 50 participants. These participants will have at least seven years experience as since receiving their doctorate. Several ideas and suggestions for the workshop were discussed.
- Anita McGahan reported on the research to practice award. There was extended discussion of the challenges surrounding this award. The EC eventually agreed that the award would go to the BPS paper presented at the Academy meeting that has the most potential managerial relevance. A process was enacted to arrive at a winner:
- A six member committee chosen by the EC will select the winner.
- Submitters will check a box on the submission form if they want their paper considered for the award.
- he committee will write to all authors that indicated their papers should be considered for the award, and will also write to the authors of the top 10% of admitted papers (or more, if they wish) requesting a one-page statement explaining the implications of the paper for practice.
- The committee will choose the winner based on the one-page statements.
- The winning author will receive a plaque and recognition in the program.
- Budget – Bill Bogner distributed copies of the budget (attached). The division continues to enjoy excellent financial health. We have a substantial endowment that we are not tapping. Bert suggested that we investigate using the interest on the endowment to attach money to the various awards the division gives out.
After discussion, the following allocations were made: $3500 for the new faculty consortium, $420 for the new doctoral student consortium, $5200 for the Doctoral Consortium, $1000 each for the Dissertation and the Mid-Career Workshops. The budget was approved unanimously.
- Professional Development Workshops – Margie Peteraf noted that we have a great program that meets the diverse needs of our diverse membership. PDW topics include international issues, teaching, the intersection of teaching and research, the craft of reviewing, and methods.
There was extended discussion of the EC’s role in governing consortia. This discussion led to Bert’s subsequent creation and distribution of a policy document with significant EC input.

- 907 reviewers
- 466 paper submissions
