Academy of Management 2007 meeting

From Aug 3 to Aug 8 I attended the AOM 2007 meeting in Philadelphia, PA, where I presented my research at the OCIS division doctoral consortium, which was happenning two days before the main conference itself. A big thanks to the organizers, the OCIS division, especially Prof Katherine Stewart, who managed to get funding to reimburse some of the travel costs.

The conference is huge, over 9.000 registered participants were exchanging ideas, making new friends, discussing research and networking. The most difficult was to decide which of the prominent scholars’ presentations (during the day) and which of the receptions (during the evening)  you were to attend. Well, of the latter, INSEAD, NYU, NUS and BAM were excellent. Of the former, pretty much anyone that was accepted for presenting had good stuff to show.

I also received “the most informative post” award for my contributions at the OCIS website - check it out and, if you do information-systems oriented research, welcome to join the OCIS special interest group of Academy of Management, it’s indeed a very very fine one!
