Welcome to the latest — and perhaps most expansive — opportunity to influence management thinking and practice!
We’re excited that you’ll be joining us for some or all of the Academy of Management’s Professional Development Workshop: Blogging for Management Scholars: Why & How to Read Blogs, Write for Blogs, and Create your Own Blog, being held Friday, Aug 7 2009, at the Sheraton.
We are using our emerging group blog, InsightsToActions.com, as a place for organizing the materials you’ll need for preparing for the Workshop. There will be more here than what you “should” read, but certainly less information than what’s available. Our overall goal is to orient you to the issues and opportunities for management scholars who decide to get online, turn outwards towards practitioners as well as other scholars, and start writing to influence.
First, before you do much else, please go and take the PDW Participant Survey! It’s only 10 questions, and it’s anonymous, so tell us the whole truth.
Let me give you a brief introduction to what material is (or soon will be) available to you on this blog.
1. Posts about the PDW
How the Professional Development Workshop is organized
Agenda for Phase 1: Introduction to Blogs & Blogging
Agenda for Phase 2: Finding your Inner Pundit and Starting to publish
2. Blogs to visit!
I have organized some lists, known as “blogrolls”, to gather together different types of blogs. Check the near-right sidebar. Blogrolls include:
AOM Members’ Blogs
Interesting Academic-y Blogs
Blogs Supporting Books & Consulting Practices
These blogs are used to support communities that are interested in the work that the authors’ have already published, or to sell the authors’ services, or both.
Interesting Academic-y Blogs
Blogs by really smart people, about complex and/or specialized topics.
Notable Non-Academic Blogs
Some of the smartest and wisest advice on the web directed at managers is coming from consultants like these, who write with personality, energy, insight and wisdom.
Community Sites for Org Scholars
Have you see AOMConnect yet? These sites are what AOMConnect could become, if we all contribute.
Other Blog Genres
Some other genres of blogs, so that you can compare, contrast and innovate.
And, for participants in the final session, this page has the preparation steps for Phase 3: Build Your Own Blog Workshop. Once you have downloaded these, let me know.
