Workshops and sessions we organize at the major management conferences.
Each year we organize the Professional Development Workshop on Research in Emerging Markets: Theoretical and Methodological Frontiers at the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. The workshop is organized by two PhD students who are on the job market that year, which keeps it close to the questions the next generation of scholars is actually wrestling with.

This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) aims to foster cutting-edge research in management, focusing on emerging markets as well as other underexplored institutional settings. Emerging and frontier markets, which account for nearly 50% of global GDP and two-thirds of global growth over the past decade, pose distinct challenges and opportunities for strategic management research. These markets often present diverse institutional environments that can inform new research frameworks. Additionally, they may provide access to underutilized data or drive the use of creative methodological approaches when traditional data sources are lacking. The PDW aims to bring together established scholars who have studied these less explored contexts and encourage rich discussion on both testing existing theories and formulating new ones, thereby expanding the scope of strategic management research to include these understudied markets and institutional contexts.

Emerging markets face pressing societal challenges alongside rapid technological change and institutional complexities. This presenter symposium brings together papers that advance a governance-focused perspective on technology adoption and deployment for social good in emerging markets. The symposium shows that the pursuit of technology-enabled social good may involve navigating complex trade-offs that are multiple, interrelated, and not immediately apparent. Across diverse contexts — including clean cooking in East Africa, remote learning and higher education in Brazil, the minibus taxi industry in South Africa, and the mobile-money industry in multiple markets — the papers demonstrate that the societal impact of technology is shaped not just by technical capabilities but also by how technologies are embedded within institutional meanings and governance arrangements. The symposium has learnings for scholars, managers and policy-makers interested in technology, governance, and social impact in emerging markets.
