cover Story July/August 2014

When William Penn founded Philadelphia in 1683, he envisioned a place where people of all religions and creeds would be welcomed. As such, he named his new city based on the greek words for “love” or “friendship” (philos) and “brotherhood” (adelphos). the city of Brotherly Love was born, and more than 300 years later, the Academy is proud to embrace his ideals for this year’s Annual meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As we explore “the Power of Words” at this year’s conference, we are thrilled to welcome nearly 10,000 members from all over the world, continuing Penn’s vision of a global and cultural hub.

f. W. taylor was an American inventor and engineer that applied his engineering and scientific knowledge to management and developed a theory called scientific management theory. His two most important books on his theory are Shop management (1903) and the Principles of Scientific management (1911).

Born to a prominent Philadelphia family, taylor came from a long line of intellectual and historical figures. His father, franklin taylor, was a Princeton educated lawyer, while his mother, emily taylor, was an ardent abolitionist and social rights activist, working closely with noted humanitarian Lucretia mott. taylor’s ancestor, edward Winslow, one of the original mayflower Pilgrims, served for many years as the governor of the Plymouth colony.

Initially, taylor chose to forgo his family’s academic background in favor of work in a metal works factory, first as a machinist, then as foreman. Shocked at the factory’s inefficiency and its workers purposely working slowly, taylor proposed solutions that he believed would solve both problems. By studying the time it took each worker to complete a step, and by rearranging the necessary equipment, taylor believed he could discover what an average worker could produce in optimum conditions.

more than a century later, taylor’s contributions to management can be seen throughout the world.

In short, f. W. taylor changed the face of business forever, and is considered by many to be America’s first management consultant. “Without taylor, in fact, the whole twentieth-century management advisory industry might never have developed as it did. fittingly enough, he eventually became America’s first true management consultant.” Quote from The Next Big Idea by Carol Kennedy

PHILLy cHeeSeSteAK fUn fAct:the cheesesteak made its official debut in 1930. Pat olivieri was a South Philadelphia hot dog vendor who one day decided to put some beef from the butcher on his grill. A taxicab driver noticed the alluring aroma and asked for his own steak sandwich.the next day, as the story goes, rumor of the delicious lunch had spread, and cabbies around the city came to olivieri demanding steak sandwiches. Soon after, olivieri opened up a shop on 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, Pat’s King of Steaks, to sell his new creation. eventually, according to legend, he added cheese to the recipe.

today, Pat’s grills are sizzling 24 hours a day, as are geno’s, the rival shop across the street. for 40 years, the two shops have waged a friendly competition to win the title of best cheesesteak in town, with geno’s founder, Joe Vento, claiming it was he, not olivieri, who first added cheese to the cheesesteak.

It’s time for the 74th Annual Academy meeting!

greetings to everyone! I hope this newslet-ter finds a large number of you preparing to travel to Philadelphia, PA to attend the 74th annual meeting of our Academy of man-agement. for me, this is always an exciting time of the year as we study the program to identify the different sessions we want to attend given our teaching and research interests. Additionally, of course, scheduling visits with friends and colleagues that we may see only once per year when attending the Academy meeting is also enjoyable and invigorating.

In addition to all of the sessions in which you’ll choose to participate in light of your interests, please allow me to extend a warm invitation to everyone who will be in Philadelphia to attend the general Session meeting that will start formally at 9:00 A.m. on Sunday morning, August 3rd. coffee and pastries will be available from 8:30-9:00A.m. debra Shapiro, our Vice-President and Program chair and the originator of our theme for this year (the Power of Words), will start the meeting by welcoming all attendees and by recognizing and extending our appreciation to this year’s sponsors. debra will then speak to us to offer her reflections about the importance of this year’s theme and to describe the nature of the program that will be offered in Philadelphia. following this will be a set of presentations to honor this year’s recipients of significant awards given by our Academy. the george R. terry Book Award and the career Achievements Awards (distin-guished educator, distinguished Scholar Practitioner, distinguished Service, and Scholarly contributions to management) constitute the set of recognitions for excellence that will be awarded this year.

following the presentations of the Academy-wide awards, it will be my honor to deliver the presidential address. titled our Academy, our future, I am excited to have the opportunity to speak with you about what I believe are important issues. Without going into detail, I am pleased to say that the speech will begin by highlighting the fact that each of us is a management scholar and that all types of scholarship with which we are engaged are important and vital to our careers, to our profession, and to our Academy. We’ll then turn our attention to the fact that we as scholars live today in a time of intense scrutiny and increasing expectations. After identifying reasons I think we join the Academy and value our membership, the discussion will turn to the value our Academy creates and the position that for a number of reasons, our Academy matters. closing the speech will be consid-erations of challenges I believe we face as an Academy trying to fulfill its promise and actions we may wish to undertake to deal with those challenges.

I truly am pleased to have the privilege of developing and sharing these ideas with you. of course, I very sincerely hope that the observations to be made during the speech will be of interest to you and to some of our future dialogues and conversations that may take place within the Academy to which all of us are deeply committed.

the very best of wishes to each of you. I hope our paths will cross while in Philadelphia. Safe travels to all and I’ll see you in a few weeks!

“Ever since I attended my first meeting about 6 years ago I have found the Annual

Meeting to be exciting and even invigorating. It gives me a chance to recharge my

intellectual batteries as I renew acquaintances, learn about emerging research from

junior and senior faculty, discuss and explore new opportunities for collaborations

with like-minded colleagues. And being a mentor for the Adopt-a-Member Program

has been one of the joys of my life. As a mentor I get the opportunity to inform

new members about the value AOM brings and share how their membership could

enhance every area of their career, whether they are involved in academia or

engaged in corporate consulting activities. I share information about how to navigate

the annual meeting and maximize the many opportunities presented to new members,

particularly those who can think outside the box. It is exciting for me to be able to

assist new academics in finding a path that is uniquely theirs by viewing and utilizing

their membership in the Academy as an intellectual filling station.

I look forward to meeting up with old friends this year in Philadelphia, and am always

excited to make new friends along the way! That’s the beauty of the Annual Meeting,

forging relationships that last a lifetime!”

as that sounds, a study in the current issue of the Academy of management Journal suggests as much.

If you’re planning to approach your boss for a raise but feel skittish about it, you may do well to skip breakfast that day and meet with the boss before lunch, some new research suggests.

A study entitled “I need food and I deserve a Raise,” to be presented at the forthcoming annual meeting of the Academy of man-agement (Philadelphia, Aug. 1-5), finds that “hunger leads people to feel more entitled... Hungry people think about themselves instead of others and focus on their own needs, which leads them to feel and act entitled.” Read more…
