"Discovering Academy of Management Discoveries: Publishing in the U.S. Academy’s Newest Journal"
Abstract
With increasing ferocity in the 21st century, a vocal set of senior management scholars called for a journal that would avoid prevailing emphases on theory development and contributions to existing theory. For these scholars, a journal with relaxed theory requirements was needed in order to offset the excesses of our field’s theory emphases. Simultaneously, the general membership of the U.S. Academy of Management called for increased opportunities to publish in Academy journals. Responding to these two forces, the Academy created Academy of Management Discoveries. The first issue of this new journal was published less than one year ago. To further publicize and to fully explore the mission of the journal, the speaker will discuss requirements and nuances associated with publishing in it. Based on his experiences as a past associate editor for Academy of Management Journal and a current associate editor for Discoveries, he will draw comparisons and contrasts across the two journals.
Short bio
Since working as a shift manager and subsequently completing his graduate studies, Chet has taught full-time at Baylor University, Wake Forest University, and the University of Houston. He is an active member of the Strategic Management Society, where he has been designated as an official “friend” for his longstanding membership and contributions. He is also an active member of the Academy of Management and has taken on a number of roles in this organization as well. Awards and honors include: Outstanding Young Researcher Award (Baylor University); Best Paper Award (Academy of Management Review); and teaching awards from Wake Forest University, the University of Houston, and Duke University (he has been a guest instructor at Duke).
Chet’s published research focuses on the functioning and effects of executive teams, the design of strategic decision processes within firms, and the design of management systems. His work has appeared in Organization Science, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Executive, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, and Journal of Management.
Over the years, Chet has worked with many managers and executives. Through management development programs, he has contributed to the advancement of individuals from such organizations as ABB, Bank of America, Krispy Kreme, La Farge, Red Hat, State Farm Insurance, and the United States Postal Service. His focus has been leading change, strategic visioning, and the creation of high-involvement approaches to managing people.
