Organizational theory expert to speak at OSU

STILLWATER, Okla. - The Oklahoma State University Department of Management will host a public talk by organizational theory scholar Andy Van de Ven on Friday, October 23 at 10 a.m. in room 413 in the OSU Student Union.

Van de Ven is the author of Engaged Scholarship, which addresses ways to bridge the gap between academic research and managerial practice. Van de Ven envisions a co-production of knowledge where academics, business practitioners and other stakeholders combine their seemingly disparate skill sets to discover solutions for some of business’ biggest problems.

"Andy had a tremendous impact on me when I was a PhD student. I am excited that PhD students at OSU will have an opportunity to hear his perspective on scholarship,” said Scott Johnson, OSU assistant professor of management.

Van de Ven currently serves as the Vernon H. Heath Chair of Organizational Innovation and Change in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. In addition, he is past president of the Academy of Management.

Management students win award at regional contest

STILLWATER, Okla. – Four students from the Oklahoma State University Department of Management recently earned the “congeniality award” at the Southwest Regional Human Resource Games, which were held March 20 and 21 in Denver, Colo.

The HR Games are an academic bowl for human resource students sponsored by the Society for Human Resource Management. The goal of this Jeopardy-style competition is to prepare students for the professional human resources exam. Teams with the best record at the end of the matches compete in the championship round for first and second place.

“The congeniality award was voted on by all conference participants that included other student teams, the professional HR volunteers and other student chapter advisers who were there,” said Tom Stone, professor of management and team adviser.
