ABSTRACT:
Four questions constitute the organizing themes of my talk. First, how can we build a more realistic OMT? Currently, our theorizing and research seriously misrepresent the actual shape of the organizational landscape. Second, what’s wrong with outcome-driven research, and why should we focus more on event-driven research? Many of us fall too easily into the trap of explaining outcomes by working backward in time. Third, does OMT have rhythm? The theme of the 2000 Academy of Management meeting was “time,” and timing is everything, I agree. Our theories and research designs often leave the timing and pacing of change imprecise or ambiguous. Fourth, in our research and theorizing, we need to ask ourselves more often, “what happens next?” We need to face the fact that all empirical generalizations are about the past, and begin thinking about building models from our theorizing and research that help us understand what is likely to happen in the future.
