Call for Doctoral Applications: AI Plus Management Doctoral Consortium

  • 1.  Call for Doctoral Applications: AI Plus Management Doctoral Consortium

    Posted yesterday

    We are inviting doctoral students to apply to the 2nd AI+Management Doctoral Consortium in London, UK. We received strong feedback from students and faculty who attended last year. Oliver Hauser (University of Exeter), Hila Lifshitz (University of Warwick), Pinar Ozcan (Oxford University), and I are excited to run the second iteration of the conference. 

    Generative AI is increasingly becoming foundational to individuals, teams, organizations, and markets. Research has begun to understand implications of generative AI for organizations and organizational actors. Yet, the technology and applications continue to improve and change, and users of generative AI are demonstrating a wide variety of applications. Researchers are now looking at different and nuanced questions about AI in management and organizations, such as how generative AI reshapes core managerial tasks and organizational processes, alters organizational coordination and authority, and impacts relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and more.

    This doctoral consortium is designed for students who want to engage these questions seriously and build a durable research agenda around such questions. Our goal is to foster a cross-disciplinary community of scholars studying generative AI not as a standalone technology, but as part of evolving human–AI systems embedded in organizations and society.

    During the consortium, participants will have the opportunity to refine research ideas, receive feedback on positioning and theory development, and engage with faculty and peers working on related problems across institutions and disciplines. We aim to create an environment that supports both early-stage exploration and more advanced projects approaching submission/publication.
