Conference Theme: New Ways of Working

Program Chair: Sabrina Speights, Wheaton College | Site Chair: Kenneth Mullane, Salem State University

 

Mark your calendars for the 2024 MOBTS Conference at Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts from June 11th – 14th, 2024. We welcome your submissions now until Monday, January 22nd (end-of-day anywhere).

The themed track for the 2024 conference is New Ways of Working. With the shock of a global pandemic, technological advances in AI, and new expectations of employees, the working world is in flux. As teachers of management, we are not immune to these changes and are affected not only as employees of academic institutions but also by the continuous need to learn and adapt our way of teaching students new skills. 

We encourage consideration of this theme as you prepare your submissions. Please note that proposals do not need to explicitly connect to the themed track. For those who would like to consider the themed track, we invite proposals that:

Consider the new ways that we, as teaching professionals, can (or must) work differently: 

• Propose sessions that explain new teaching systems or approaches you have implemented 
• Showcase an institutional initiative that has shaped teaching across a department or college of business 
• Discuss challenges or roadblocks to professional/institutional changes and how we might navigate them 

Explain new ways we are teaching and preparing our students:

• Propose sessions about teaching with/about AI 
• Discuss new skills/competencies students need to develop and how you integrate them into a course/curriculum  

We encourage members, both long-standing and brand new, to submit ideas, exercises, best practices, and teaching innovations as we all move forward into a future that is both uncertain and full of opportunity.  

Proposals can be in the form of interactive exercises, panel/symposium sessions, round table provocations, Professional Development Workshops (PDW), or case studies. Sessions must be interactive and/or experiential with clear takeaways for participants and will be 60 minutes long.

Virtual presenters may submit with the caveat that at least one (1) individual is physically present at the conference to facilitate the session and discussion in a hybrid environment.

All submissions are double-anonymously reviewed. Accepted submissions will have the opportunity to be included in our Conference Proceedings with ISBN.
