AOM Critical Management Studies Division (CMS) call for Dark Side Case Competition submissions
We are happy to invite submissions to the Critical Management Studies Division's annual Dark Side Case Competition as part of the upcoming Academy of Management meeting in July in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The competition is designed to encourage the development of critical teaching cases that provoke reflection and debate on the complexities surrounding organizations and management. Dark Side Cases typically examine and bring to light the downsides of business that often remain hidden.
Our goal is to encourage the development of first-rate classroom materials that generate discussion around "dark side" issues in the context of contemporary capitalism and management theorization. Dark Side Cases provide opportunities for students to explore organizations interconnectedness with complex socio-political issues from multiple perspectives, and support their development as responsible managers and experts.
Submissions to the Dark Side Case Competition are invited from within and outside academia: faculty, students, those working in industry, activists, or anyone else who has experience or research to write up.
The Dark Side Competition forms part of the CMS Division's Scholarly Program.
Participants must submit their case as a 'PAPER' via the AOM submission system, following the
main program deadline January 7, 2025 17:00 ET (GMT-5/UTC-5).
