Our broad goal is to connect and support emerging international members from emerging economies, the global South, and other geographies where our AOM/DEI membership is under-represented. The DEI’s Global Ambassadors will partner with AOM-partner organizations to identify and invite Management scholars around the world to take part in our PDW. Participants will request and be matched with mentors who will help them feel more supported at future AOM conferences and more prepared in their future AOM paper development efforts. Three panelists with connections to/in underrepresented/emerging economies will present ideas and strategies, and Global Ambassadors will facilitate a roundtable discussion on overcoming outsider status at AOM and developing high-quality conference submissions. In alignment with AOM’s four driving goals, our PDW aims to (1) connect and support members of the global management/organization community who might otherwise be overlooked at AOM, (2) enhance the diversity of the membership to which AOM provides indispensable value, (3) advance knowledge relevant to an even more diverse global set of stakeholders/institutions, and (4) enhance AOM’s standing as a globally-led association. Key take-aways to participants of the PDW include stronger (1) connection to and belonging within the DEI community, and (2) honing of paper development skills, making future AOM attendance more likely.
