Over the past five years, we have observed a surge of publications on allyship in business and management, but little integration across these different research endeavors. The lack of synthesis across these approaches has resulted in substantial ambiguity about the definition and nomological network of allyship in business and management, as well as differing perspectives on conceptualizations, operationalizations, research designs, and critical directions. This PDW responds to these challenges with two goals: (a) to develop greater coherence within the literature by facilitating intensive discussions with leading experts, (b) to build a micro-community of business and management scholars to facilitate future research collaborations.
