Are you an Academy of Management Member and Management Scholar who is
curious about the role that blogs can play in your professional world?
Have you wondered how to find relevant blogs, create an efficient
blog-reading practice, comment effectively on other people's blogs, write
for a group blog, or maybe even start your own blog?
Join us at the Academy of Management for a workshop on *Blogging for
Management Scholars: Why & How to Read Blogs, Write for Blogs, and Create
your Own Blog, *being held *Friday, Aug 7 2009. *
This workshop follows a modular format, broken into three phases that will
teach members how to use blogs at three levels of increasing engagement,
from reading to writing to publishing ones own blog. And, the workshop
includes a group blogging opportunity that will run during and after the
Academy meetings.
- Phase 1 (8 am � noon) introduces the medium and the active community of
management scholar blogs for those who want to read and comment on blogs
effectively.
- Phase 2 (1 pm to 3 pm) teaches participants how to find their niche, to
adjust their writing paradigm, and to contribute to existing blogs as
writers.
- Phase 3 ( 3 pm - 6 pm) will have a smaller, limited enrollment. Phase 3
will teach the basics of creating your own blog.
The workshop combines informational presentations, a panel discussion by
eight management scholar-bloggers, roundtable conversations, and hands-on
exercises, as well as the open invitation to blog at
www.InsightsToActions.com <http://www.insightstoactions.com/>.
Pre-work (available online at
www.InsightsToActions.com<http://www.insightstoactions.com/>)
will establish a basic level of understanding, and a post-session
group-blogging experiment open to the Academy will let participants apply
what they learn. Participants will clarify their blog-related scholarly
opportunities, their blog community, their topical niche and their authorial
voice. Participants will leave this workshop (1) aware of the opportunities
that blogs offer management scholars, (2) able to identify, understand and
use the major features of a blog, (3) understanding the array of blogs being
published by management scholar colleagues, and (4) able to participate at
their desired level of engagement.
Pre-registration is requested, at
https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg.
Colleagues interested in participating in the limited-enrollment Phase 3 of
the Workshop should contact CV Harquail directly, at

July 10, 2009.
