'The Social in the Physical

From Management Research Findings to Artefacts by Scholar-Artists Who Dare to Care'

This is an innovative All Academy PDW that aims to offer you a first-hand experience in becoming a Management Artist by increasing your ability for artistic expression. Link your passion with artistic expression to increase the management learning and teaching experiences of your students and research publics by challenging conventional understanding of how teaching and learning can be facilitated. Dare to care about the usefulness and impact of management research findings in and for society, as an experience that conveys knowledge and sensuous appreciation. Develop the ability to be elastic in your perceptions and actions as a researcher.

The PDW format will convey transformation in the process by involving the participants in their own art making (as a reflective and insight gathering process), which will enrich their personal range of expression increasing the potential for passion and compassion. The PDW will function as an incubator for management scholars across the Academy of Management who want to transform their experience and those of others through their work.

Join our new AoM connect group if you are interested to take your ideas forward by exhibiting your research findings as artifacts in a museum space. As such the PDW will cross the boundary from management concepts to physical objects hoping to develop an inspirational experience among the participating scholars in how they can demonstrate their passion and compassion for research and society through the representation of their ideas. Engaging scholars in multisensory experience will allow for higher emotive status to be reached which is hoped to demonstrate a 'bang' type of impact and hence a longer lasting outcome. As such the PDW can also be seen as a social experiment that will provide meta-data which will be further analyzed in order to explore ways of expressing passion and compassion.
