    Posted 6 days ago

    We invite you to our PDW " Imaginaries and Emerging Technologies: Methods and Processes for Time Leaps and Future-making" (CTO, TIM, OMT) exploring complexities of studying and theorizing the future in management research, particularly in the context of emerging technologies. 

    Date/time: Saturday, July 26, 2025 | 1:30-3:30 PM CEST

    Location: Bella Center, Hall B - B6-m1

    Workshop Overview

    This PDW brings together scholars to share their experiences in studying the future in the context of emerging technologies to explore following questions:

    • How can we effectively study and theorize the future?
    • What are the typical challenges scholars face when studying the future? How can we overcome concerns regarding validity and generalizability?
    • What is the role of imagination in shaping organizational futures? How do imagination and "magical thinking" commit actors to courses of action in the present?
    • What are the practices, narratives, tactics, and moves through which certain futures become communicatively performed?
