AOM 2025 Annual Meeting PDW Call for Submissions
AI and the Carnegie School: Collaborative Pathways to Advancing Strategy and Organizational Research
Time: Friday, July 25 2025 4:00PM - 6:30PM CEST
Location: Bella Center in Hall D- D3-m9
Submission Deadline: July 6, 2025 (extended)
The idea of this PDW is to explore: (1) how AI reshapes foundational assumptions and mechanisms of the Carnegie tradition (e.g., attention, bounded rationality, learning, representations, search); (2) how AI addresses unresolved theoretical challenges within this framework; and (3) how advances in AI can augment and extend well-established ideas in this tradition through novel methods and approaches. Our paper presenters are challenged with taking up this mantel and showcasing their recent research advances.
Part 1 features empirical research presentations by leading scholars who offer fresh insights and novel connections between AI and the Carnegie School tradition. Distinguished discussants will follow, sharing their perspectives on emerging research agendas at this intersection and highlighting key theoretical and empirical implications for the field. This portion of the PDW is open to all attendees and does not require pre-registration.
Part 2 is an interactive roundtable session, where participants will join one of our presenters, discussants, or organizers-each serving as a discussion facilitator at their table-to receive tailored feedback on their paper. Attendees at any career stage, including doctoral students, are invited to submit a 2-page extended abstract of their paper (excluding references, tables, and figures) using the upload link below to receive personalized input. Roundtable discussions will focus on papers submitted by invited participants. The submission deadline is July 6 (extended). Selection decisions will be communicated by July 15.
