If you joined the Organizational Behavior (OB) division within the last three years and want to learn more about the OB division and starting out in the field of OB, then this forum is for you! This PDW was created to answer your questions about the “essentials” of the AOM conference, the OB division, and the field of OB. The session is organized around a panel discussion between established members of the OB division and new OB members like yourself. The PDW will include a welcome and overview of the OB Division, a networking ice breaker, a panel discussion prompted by questions from participants, and a roundtable session where you have the chance to meet in small groups with a specific panelist. As a participant in the forum, you can ask questions of your choice.
