BPS Division Executive Committee
Winter Meeting
Hotel Monaco
Salt Lake City, Utah
March 8, 2003
Present: Bert Cannella, Ranjay Gulati, Javier Gimeno, Margie Peteraf, Jim Westphal, Bill Bogner, Gautam Ahuja, Irene Duhaime, Joe Mahoney, Todd Zenger, Tom Brush, Rich Makadok, Richard Priem, Mary Tripsas, and Dave Ketchen,
Absent: Jim Combs, Jim Fredrickson, Marjorie Lyles, Steve Phelan, and Maurizio Zollo
The meeting began at 12:40 pm.
- General
- Welcome –Ranjay Gulati welcomed all in attendance and provided an overview of the agenda.
- Minutes – Dave Ketchen distributed the minutes from the August Executive Committee and Business Meetings in advance. The EC approved the minutes following one small alteration offered by Irene Duhaime.
- Reports
- Budget – Bill Bogner distributed the budget and noted that the division’s finances are in very good shape. Three motions related to the budget were passed unanimously: (1) The division will provide $400 in support for EC members coming to the Winter Meeting from outside North America, (2) The division’s social hour at the Academy meeting will be a ‘cash bar’ affair, and (3) The budget for the Mid-Career Workshop will be increased to $1000. The amended budget accompanies these minutes.
- Professional Development Workshops – Jim Westphal handed out a summary of the PDWs (reproduced below). He reported that we will have a good diversity of sessions including sessions focused on career development, teaching, and research. The ‘conversations on strategy’ that Javier started and Margie continued also will be offered this year.
- 2003 Conference Program – Margie Peteraf provided an overview of this year’s program. She distributed a detailed report (reproduced below). Some of the key numbers included:
- 1099 reviewers
- 508 paper submissions (the most submissions to any division, ever)
- 50 symposia submissions
- 43 paper sessions planned
- 355 papers accepted
- 30 symposia accepted
- Margie acknowledged the significant help of Bert Cannella, Javier Gimeno, the technical and administrative support staff (Julia Yaziji, Vince Collins, Tuck Computing at Dartmouth, and Laurie McCandless), the Ad Hoc Review Team (Karen Schnatterly, Cathy Maritan, Peggy Lee, Russ Coff, and Jim Westphal) and the
- Ad Hoc Program Organization Team (Karen Schnatterly, Connie Helfat, and Syd Finkelstein). The executive committee, led by Rich Makadok and Irene Duhaime, will send letters of thanks to these folks.
- BPS Outstanding Dissertation Award – Javier reported that he received 41 submissions. This field will be narrowed to 5 or 6 finalists and eventually to one winner. The large number of submissions creates a burden for the research committee, thus enlarging the committee should be discussed. The EC later voted to expand the research committee to twenty members from the present twelve.
- Mid-Career Workshop – Margie reported that the MCW will be held Monday night during the Academy meeting. The chairs will be Laurence Capron, Jackson Nickerson, and Dawn Harris. The EC will approve the participant team, but not the list of attendees.
- Outstanding Reviewer Award – Margie reported that selecting this group was hard because she received so many excellent sets of reviews. Discussion about a suitable number of awards ensued. Ultimately, a motion was passed unanimously stating that the program chair can give an Outstanding Reviewer Award to up to 5% of the reviewers.
- Research and Practice Award – After discussion, the EC voted to have the research committee select the winning paper. The research to practice award committee was folded into the research committee. The name of the award was changed from ‘research to practice’ to ‘research and practice.’ Irene Duhaime volunteered to draft an announcement of the award for circulation to the division membership.
- New Business – Margie noted that the program chair’s tasks (e.g., managing the online review process, assembling the program) are too big for one person; formal support is needed. Also, recreating the submission website every year at the new program chair’s school is wasteful. Extensive discussion ensued about how to address these problems.
The EC decided to create a “reviewer database manager” position. This is an appointed position. The RDM is an ex officio member of the executive committee and serves a three-year term. Bert Cannella volunteered and was appointed for 2003-2006. The RDM’s main role is to manage the electronic flow of papers and reviews for the annual program.
The EC also decided to create a “program committee.” This is a three person appointed committee. Members will normally serve three-year terms, but we will have two shorter terms initially to phase in a rotation. Todd Zenger will serve 2003-2004, Irene Duhaime will serve 2003-2005, and Richard Priem will serve 2003-2006. In the future, an outgoing EC member will join the committee each year. The committee’s role is to assist the program chair and to maintain organizational memory about the program creation process.
- Nominations and Elections – Dave Ketchen distributed a list of candidates nominated in advance by division members. Bert Cannella then led the nomination and appointment process. A slate of candidates was selected by EC for the ballot. Others were appointed to the Research Committee and Teaching Committee. The selection of Regional Representatives was entrusted to Ranjay Gulati.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:35 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Dave Ketchen
