2003

Jeanne M. Brett Receives the 2003 AOM Distinguished Educator Award
September 22, 2003
We are pleased to announce that Jeanne Brett received the prestigious Distinguished Educator Award of the Academy of Management Meeting at its annual meeting in Seattle. At the award ceremony, Jeanne's contributions to management education were celebrated in these words:

Professor Jeanne Brett is the recipient of the Distinguished Educator Award. Jeanne's devotion to her students, her broad intellectual curiosity, discipline, involvement in all aspects of their research, and her respect for their non-work lives all contribute to her unique ability to nurture and train successful Ph.D. students. The list of her students is truly impressive, not simply in terms of where they are, but what they have accomplished in our field as researchers and what they have contributed to the profession. In addition, to being a leading teacher in the MBA and Executive Education classrooms and developing doctoral candidates, Jeanne established the Dispute Resolution Center at Northwestern, which has built an impressive collection of teaching cases, sponsored dissertation research, postdoctoral positions, and conferences. The Center, through its goal to enhance teaching in the negotiation and dispute resolution areas, has had substantial educational impact. Educators around the world have been enabled by the resources and direction provided by this center. See photos

Klaus Weber Joins Faculty
July 2003
The M&O Department welcomes Professor Klaus Weber to our faculty. Professor Weber's interests lie at the intersection of institutional theory and social movement theory. Currently, he is involved in a study of the global bio-tech industry. He will be teaching classes on Power and Politics, and Organizational Change, and comes to us from the University of Michigan. We are delighted he has joined the Kellogg community.

Brian Uzzi wins ASQ Award
June 24, 2003
Professor Brian Uzzi's paper, "Social Structure and Competition in Interfirm Networks: The Paradox of Embeddedness" was selected to receive Administrative Science Quarterly's Best Paper Award. This award is given to papers that were published five years ago (1997) and have been judged to have had the most impact of all of the ASQ papers published that year. ASQ publishes only 20-25 papers per year, so it's a major accomplishment just to have them accept and publish a paper. To win this award means that the paper is the Best of the Best! Many Congratulations to Brian!

Gillian Ku and Keith Murnighan win Outstanding Conference Paper Award
June 24, 2003
PhD candidate Gillian Ku and Professor J. Keith Murnighan recently presented their paper, "Cognitions and emotions in Internet auction bidding: Tommy Bahama surfs eBay" at the International Association of Conflict Management meetings in Melbourne, Australia. They were delighted to hear that it won the Outstanding Conference Paper Award this year. Congratulations to both of them!

New Course Offering This Spring Quarter: Strategy Implementation
March 2003
Professor Gulati is offering for the first time his newly designed course Strategy Implementation (MORS 455). These are some of the reasons to take this new course: More than half the cases in the course have been written by the professor himself within the past 12 months. The chief protagonist himself/herself will be present during most of the discussions of these original cases! The course focuses on a timely theme that links core concepts in Management and Strategy with those in Management and Organizations. It has an applied orientation that blends theory with practice. It offers hands-on group projects in which the professor will assist in matching you with companies. The class meetings will include case discussions, video cases, and in-class exercises. The course has no prerequisites and the only course requirements are active class participation along with individual and group projects.

His research interests complement many of those of our current faculty, and he has already begun working with several of our graduate students.

New Concentrations Within the M&O Major: Management Consulting, Leadership, and Decision Making and Negotiations
January 26, 2000
In addition to our new name, we have revamped course titles and course content to keep up with the changing nature of the environments in which managers find themselves. We have defined three alternative concentrations within its major, management consulting, leadership, and decision making and negotiations.

We Have Changed Our Department Name
January 26, 2000
Organization Behavior is now Management and Organizations. Professor Jeanne Brett, our chair, explains: "The impetus for the change was to have the name of the department better reflect the content of what we teach. We do teach from a behavioral science perspective, but organizations don't behave, people do. What we are teaching is how to manage people in organizations, teams, and inter-personal and inter-organizational relationships." Professor Mike Radnor, a founding member of the Organization Behavior department in the 1970's, explains how our previous name came about. "The behavioral scientists in the old Management department formed their own group in response to a seminal report on business education produced by the Carnegie Foundation in the late 1960s. The Carnegie Report emphasized that business school education needed to be grounded in disciplinary knowledge and research. We called the department Organization Behavior to reflect our common discipline, but it was never a very transparent name. It was time for a change."
