CTO Division sponsored Symposium (panel) at #AOM2024: Opportunities and Challenges of Decentralization in the Blockchain Age (Co-sponsored by AOM TIM Division) 🗓️ Monday, August 12, 2024 ⏰ 09:45 – 11:15 CT 📍 Sheraton: Streeterville Link: https://cdmcd.co/nR5WdK Panelists: Jungpil Hahn (National U. of Singapore, Singapore) Hanna Halaburda (New York U., United States) Ola Henfridsson (U. of Miami, United States) Ying-Ying Hsieh (Imperial College Business School, United Kingdom) Youngjin Yoo (Case Western Reserve U., United States) Maria Petryk (George Mason U., United States) Organizers: Christoph Mueller-Bloch (ESSEC Business School, France) Daniel Obermeier (NYU Stern School of Business, United States) The advent of blockchain technology has ushered in a new era of decentralization. These efforts have promised to enhance transparency, inclusion, and democracy, ultimately leading to a fairer distribution of created value. In recent years, a dynamic community of scholars has begun investigating these experimental efforts to unravel the opportunities and challenges presented by blockchain-enabled decentralization. Existing research indicates that achieving and sustaining the promises of blockchain-based decentralization is often challenging, seldom leading to the envisioned paradigm shift. However, this research is currently scattered across different fields, theoretical perspectives, and technological levels. This has resulted in ambiguities regarding the conceptualization of decentralization and has impeded scientific progress. Therefore, we believe there is a need to bring together leading scholars with diverse research foci and methodological expertise to discuss and provide direction on how this new form of technology-based decentralization has shaped and will continue to shape management theory. This panel symposium aims to provide a forum for elaborating on the nature of blockchain-enabled decentralization, debating the associated opportunities and challenges, and identifying areas of interest for future research. In a facilitated discussion, we will raise these questions and provide ample opportunities for participants to learn from their peers, contributing to the advancement of leading management research on blockchain-enabled decentralization. #AOM #decentralization #blockchain

CTO Division Sponsored PDW at #AOM2024: Next Decade Bot Research "This PDW also aims to sustain and further develop the interdisciplinary community of scholars dedicated to bot research, a collective that we began nurturing two years ago in Seattle." 📅 Sunday, August 11, 2024 🕓 16:30 – 18:00 📍 Sheraton: Columbus A Link: https://cdmcd.co/8YvZL3 Presenters: Jason Thatcher (U. of Colorado Boulder, United States) Elena Karahanna (U. of Georgia, United States) Gerald Kane (U. of Georgia, United States) Organizers: Carolina Alves de Lima Salge (U. of Georgia, United States) Anna Priante (Rotterdam School of Management, Netherlands) Aaron Schecter (U. of Georgia, United States) Bots, automated entities in online social networks, have a substantial presence on digital platforms. They are capable of posting messages quickly and extensively, thereby potentially influencing communication dynamics and the spread of information. However, their behavior can range from ethical to unethical (Salge and Berente 2017), leading to either beneficial or detrimental effects in society. On the positive side, studies have demonstrated that bots can be valuable in organizational contexts, such as in coordinating tasks (Hukal et al. 2019) and influencing human-to-human interactions (Seering et al. 2018), particularly in communication processes (Safadi et al. (2021). Conversely, there is evidence that bots can sway public opinion (Forelle et al. 2015), diffuse information rapidly (Mønsted et al. 2017), affect political elections (Bessi and Ferrara 2016; Martini et al. 2021), and propagate false news (Shao et al. 2018). Additionally, bots pose challenges to the validity of online social network research due to the potential confounding effects they introduce, which scholars must carefully control and account for (Salge and Karahanna 2018). Following our two successful Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) on “Researching Bots in Online Social Networks” at the Academy of Management (AoM) 2022 Annual Meeting in Seattle, and on “Bot Theory, Methods, and Ethics” at the 2023 Annual Meeting in Boston, we have gained substantial insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with bot research. These workshops highlighted the widespread impact of bots and underscored the need for more comprehensive theorizing in this area, as discussed in Salge et al. (2022). Eager to continue enriching discussions and strengthening ties within the AoM community, we propose a new PDW titled “Next Decade Bot Research.” Through this workshop, we aim to: (1) Survey the first decade of research on bots. (2) Provide a research agenda that expands work on bots into new uncharted territories. (3) Discuss how bots can be leveraged for experimental research. (4) Converse about the implications of generative AI for research on bots. #AI #BOT

CTO Division sponsored showcase symposium at #AOM2024 in Chicago: "Entangling AI and Expertise at Work: Tales From the Field" 📅 Monday, August 12, 2024, 🕒 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM 📍 Sheraton: Colorado Link: https://cdmcd.co/GwQBar Presenters: Anand Bhardwaj (McGill U., Canada) Tomislav Karacic (KIN Center for Digital Innovation, Vrije U. Amsterdam, Netherlands) Eivor Oborn (U. of Warwick, United Kingdom) Tamara T. (Rotterdam School of Management) Discussants: Marleen Huysman (KIN Center for Digital Innovation, Vrije U. Amsterdam, Netherlands) Michael Barrett (U. of Cambridge, United Kingdom) Natalia Levina (New York U., United States) Samer Faraj (McGill U., Canada) Organizers: Anand Bhardwaj and Tomislav Karacic The introduction of AI into organizations seems to affect expertise in unprecedented ways, requiring novel engagement with the concept of expertise. Scholars are bringing forth questions concerning whether and how AI can transform human expertise, if there is something distinctly human when it comes to expertise. Furthermore, the entanglement of AI and expertise may also induce changes in what knowledge and expertise is considered valuable, and how such expertise may be grown, maintained, and managed in organizations. This symposium brings together four research projects at the intersection of these emerging issues in technology and organizing, to present early observations and engage in collective discussion and sense making. #AOM #AI
