Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In this presentation, I will focus on racial identity-context congruence, that is, the extent that racially minoritized students' constructions around the importance and meaning of their race can be aligned or misaligned with their experienced academic environments. I will share studies linking students' identity-based experiences (interpersonal and climate experiences in academic and social contexts) that are stigmatizing or affirming to outcomes related to their academic identities, achievement, and persistence. This work also highlights how many racially minoritized and underrepresented students draw on their racial and cultural identities in ways that promote their motivation and persistence, especially in settings where they are underrepresented and experience marginalization based on their multiple social identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, among other identities). I will discuss implications for scholarly approaches to studying positive development among racially minoritized students; as well as the need to shift away from institutional approaches focused only on supporting minoritized students in navigating non-congruous environments (individual student resilience) toward approaches focused on creating/recreating settings that affirm and align with minoritized students' identities and that leverage students' identity strengths to support them as whole persons (institutional resilience).

Researchers have used social dominance, system justification, authoritarianism, and social identity theories, to understand intergroup phenomena ranging from racial categorization to political movements. The result has been a growing understanding of how particular sociopolitical motives and contexts impact intergroup relations, without a unifying perspective to integrate these insights. Using research on multiracial categorization as a case study, I review evidence supporting each theory’s predictions concerning how monoracial perceivers categorize multiracial people that combine their ingroup with an outgroup, with attention to the moderating role of perceiver group status. I find most studies in the multiracial categorization literature cannot arbitrate between theories of intergroup relations and reveal additional gaps in the literature. To advance this research area, I introduce the Sociopolitical Motive x Intergroup Threat (SMIT) Model of Intergroup Relations that 1) clarifies which sociopolitical motives interact with which intergroup threats to predict categorization and 2) highlights the role of perceiver group status. Moreover, I consider how the SMIT model can help understand phenomena beyond multiracial categorization.

Germine Awad's scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and more recently, body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. The majority of her research is guided by the questions “What factors lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities?” and “What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?” The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Although overt discrimination towards ethnic minorities has decreased over the years, the practice of more covert, subtle forms of prejudice remains. The events of September 11, 2001, however, reintroduced more explicit forms of prejudice towards Arab/Middle Eastern Americans, and those perceived to be Muslim, complicating the dialogue on discrimination in the United States. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards ethnic minorities generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact ethnic minorities’ perception of discrimination. Most recently, she has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color.

Detroit Hustles Harder: The(Re) Production of Systemic Racism through Organizational Practice (October 8, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86994 86994-21638107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 8, 2021 1:00pm

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Our relational ethnography of a resource-constrained entrepreneurial ecosystem with changing racial demographics expands the study of systemic racism that emerges in and through organizations. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (CRT/I) frameworks, we critically interrogate the relational configuration between entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) and Black women entrepreneurs in Detroit, MI to understand how practices, or everyday activities that constitute organizational life, reinforce racial, gender, and class hierarchies. We implemented a site-based, relational ontology to analyze our qualitative interviews (n = 65) and field observations, which deepened the meaning and enactment of systemic racism in this particular ‘site’. Our data revealed ESOs use of discursive, embodied, and material practices to inform the types and extent of support offered to entrepreneurs in Detroit. Assemblages of these practices maintained or disrupted systemic racism through three key mechanisms: control over resources, relational patterns between residents, and the entrenched power dynamics in the city. Accordingly, we build theoretical knowledge of practices that may inadvertently reproduce racial inequality through adopting critical perspectives of organizations. We provide recommendations for organizations and other social institutions seeking to dismantle systemic racism based on the insights that emerged in our data.

In recent years, many organizations have adopted the notion that employees should “bring their whole selves to work,” or be authentic in the workplace. Research supports the benefits of authenticity at work (Cha et al., 2019). The conversation often assumes that everyone has equal opportunity to express themselves authentically. Yet, given the discrimination experienced by some employees, such Black women, authentic behavior may not be attainable, even for those in leadership positions. Drawing from research on power and intersectionality, we examined the factors that influence authenticity for Black women leaders in organizations. Findings from qualitative interviews reveal factors that inhibit and facilitate the willingness to be authentic at work, as well as the different manifestations and consequences of authentic behavior for Black women leaders at work. I discuss the theoretical and practical insights that emerge from this work.

A Holistic Approach to Advancing Diversity in Graduate Programs (November 5, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88457 88457-21654142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 5, 2021 1:30pm

The first round of attempts to diversify the academy, what we call Diversity 1.0, largely entailed attempting to remediate underrepresented students, through program support and other efforts, so that they could thrive within the academy. By and large, these efforts did not consider the biases embedded within institutions of higher education and the institutional changes that need to happen in order for minoritized students to feel they belong and can thrive within these institutional spaces. That deeper, institutional work is what we call Diversity 2.0 -- the process of evaluating and addressing the structural factors that make departments and campuses feel unwelcoming and unsupportive to minoritized students. To address this challenge, we suggest a holistic approach, one that includes a focus on admissions, belonging, climate, and data equity, as the best approach for creating the institutional transformations needed to make departments and campuses truly inclusive.

On November 5, the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan (WDI) will convene a virtual roundtable focused on the dynamic U.S. and Mexico collaboration in the auto industry. This discussion is in partnership with U-M’s Ross School of Business and the US-Mexico Foundation (USMF), a binational non-profit organization dedicated to fostering bilateral cooperation and understanding between the U.S. and Mexico. This discussion will feature valuable perspectives and insights from diplomats, executives and analysts.

Background

The United States and Mexico are the second- and the sixth-largest car manufacturing countries in the world, respectively. Taken together, these two global powerhouses in 2020 manufactured roughly 20 percent of the world’s passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and their automotive industries have been linked for decades. At the same time, the global automotive industry is undergoing a massive shift in how it produces and powers vehicles. Supply chain concerns have risen to the front of the agenda with recent microchip shortages, while pressure is increasing for a more sustainably powered automotive industry. And at the heart of many of these production disruptions, challenges and opportunities is the U.S.-Mexico trade relationship.

Healthcare expenditure in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is soaring. This can result in significant health improvements while creating new opportunities for businesses operating in these markets in the coming decades. Innovations in medical technology, improved access and delivery of care are all factors in the growth, which show no signs of slowing.
The possibility and interest in serving these markets and helping to make healthcare better creates opportunities for job seekers, companies and healthcare professionals. However, organizations face significant challenges in developing business models that can provide quality products and services and do so profitably. As more companies are successful, the local communities and patients will continue to benefit.

The keynote speaker, Kevin Lobo, Chair and CEO of Stryker, will provide perspective and insights for innovating and driving growth in LMICs. With globalization as part of the company’s strategy, Lobo has continued to focus resources and talent on key global markets since becoming CEO of Stryker in 2012. Lobo’s talk will focus on “Challenges and Opportunities for Healthcare Companies in Emerging Markets.”

Headquartered in Kalamazoo, MI, Stryker is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, offering innovative products and services in orthopaedics, medical and surgical, and neurotechnology and spine that help improve patient and hospital outcomes.

Time/Date: 6 pm, Nov. 10.

Organizations are continuing to direct efforts to recruit women and underrepresented minority members (URM; Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latinx) to increase workforce diversity. Yet, the underrepresentation of women and URM members persists across many industries and organizations, rendering the need to strengthen the body of research that looks to find ways organizations can increase recruitment and selection of minority employees. My colleagues and I address this need by focusing on diversity recruitment within an academic setting, a context where hiring and promoting women and URM members continues to be a challenge. In the first two studies, we utilized and extend homophily theory to explain how and why the demographic composition of the recruitment team can contribute to attracting more women and URM candidates. In the third study, we examined how and why diversity recruitment strategies can have negative effects for URM applicants

Navigating business relationships, particularly cross-cultural ones, can feel like moving through a minefield, sidestepping explosives that could instantly derail any progress. But it doesn’t need to be that way.

John Branch, professor of marketing and international business at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and faculty for the school’s Cross-Cultural Business course, along with Amy Gillett, vice president of education at the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan and co-creator of the Business & Culture virtual exchange, advise both professionals and business students on increasing their cultural competency. On Nov. 16, they will host a candid and interactive session around maneuvering these cross-cultural relationships.

Join Branch and Gillett’s virtual discussion on cultural competency to share your stories of cultural gaffes and/or successes, discover what it takes to prepare for better cross-cultural interactions, and learn from the breadth of cultural exchanges that have gone wrong — and right — across the business world.

Freedom at Work (December 3, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88822 88822-21658556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

The past year has been by marked the convergence of public health, racial justice, economic and democratic crises. To meet the moment, leaders have sought to heighten aspirations toward racial representation, equity and inclusion across industries. Bold proclamations in support of Black lives, and ambitious platforms to invest in Black livelihoods, have been backed by billions of dollars and coalitions of hundreds of leaders across sectors. As institutions begin to implement these diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, what will they establish as standards for success and indicators of progress? How will organizational leaders and their stakeholders assess whether the racial climate has transformed to reflect greater diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice? During this seminar, I will introduce a framework for pursuing Freedom at Work, grounded in the juxtaposition between the democratic ideals of liberty and justice, and the sociohistorical oppression of enslaved, African-descended Americans and other minoritized racial groups. I invite scholars and practitioners to analyze relative access to various freedoms at work (i.e., expression, actualization, deviation, transformation, reformation), consider how inequity undermines these freedoms, and examine how freedom fighters from racially diverse and occupationally diverse backgrounds can help leaders to embody the aspirations and ideals they hold for diversity, inclusion, equity and justice. This discussion will also explore means for placing guardrails on practices that undermine rather than uphold the liberties of communities that were long-denied access to educational opportunity, career mobility and economic advancement. In this vein, I take up the question of how personal leadership commitments and accountability practices might catalyze change, sustain momentum and advance the equal exercise of freedom at work for members of minoritized racial/ethnic identity groups.

About the Thriving Accelerator Workshops:
A Thriving Accelerator is an immersive workshop from the Center for Positive Organizations about a topic in the science of thriving. After completing a workshop, students will be able to immediately implement their learnings to create lasting personal and organizational impact.

In each of these actionable workshops, students will:
- Develop knowledge related to a particular research topic: Accelerators introduce the science for knowing.
- Develop skills to create actionable know-how: Accelerators apply the science for doing.
- Develop relational and embodied capacity to model and live the topic: Accelerators model the science for lived experience of being.

About the Generosity Accelerator:
How do you unleash generosity and get the resources you need in any team or organization? In this workshop, Wayne Baker will provide proven tools that will help you and your teams accelerate the flow of resources and build a culture of generosity.

Drawing on his book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, Baker will show you how to find what you need, and ask for it in ways that work. The workshop will give you access to real-time tools that support a culture of generosity, including a digital assessment, learning map, and access to a generosity community knowledge and resource sharing platform called Givitas. You will leave with a new appreciation of the power of how to ask for what you need in ways that transform what’s available for your success.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Bio-Tech, Entrepreneurship, and Coding Organization

On Monday, December 06, 2021 @ 6:00PM-7:00PM ET, come virtually listen to Jennifer Nehil (UM MS Chemistry; former R&D Technician and Chemist at BASF; current Brewing Material and Flavor Chemist at Molson Coors) discuss the brewing process, innovation and new product selection, and flavor chemistry, and Ralph Mertz (UM BS Mechanical Engineering; former Chrysler Engineer and Anheuser-Busch IT, Operations & Engineering Manager, and Financial Planning Leader; current Anheuser-Busch Global Vertical Operations Finance and Strategy Senior Director) discuss standard company performance metrics, corporate investments and collaborations, asset management, and a global strategy case study. The event will conclude with an open Q&A.

Anheuser-Busch InBev, or AB InBev, is a publicly-traded multinational drinks conglomerate headquartered in Belgium. It’s the world’s largest beer brewer by both volume and revenue, operating more than 600 beer brands in 150 countries. AB InBev was formed in 2008 through the acquisition of Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch by Belgian conglomerate InBev—which is itself a merger of Stella Artois-maker Interbrew and Brazil’s AmBev. In 2015, AB InBev acquired its biggest rival in North America, SABMiller, for $107 billion. The deal required the sale of a number of SABMiller brands, including Miller and Coors, to satisfy antitrust regulators. In recent years, acknowledging the consumer trend away from mass-produced lagers, AB InBev has rapidly acquired U.S. and international craft brewers including Goose Island, Blue Point, and Camden Town Brewery. Some of its popular brands include Budweiser, Michelo, Corona, Bush, and Natural Light. Learn more at https://www.anheuser-busch.com/about.html .

Molson Coors is a publicly-traded multinational drinks conglomerate with twin headquarters in Golden, Colorado, and Montreal, Canada, though officially considered a U.S. firm. In sales, it holds the number one position in Canada, the number two rank in the United Kingdom, and the number three slot in the U.S. Coors Light, the firm's biggest-seller, is the fourth best-selling beer in the United States; Molson Canadian is the best seller in English-speaking Canada; and Carling ranks as the best-selling lager in the United Kingdom. Other key brands include Blue Moon, Dos Equiz, and La Colombe. In 2005, it was formed through a merger of two companies with deep roots — Molson Inc., established in 1786, the oldest brewery in North America; and Adolph Coors, established in 1873 — both of which were still under control of their respective founding families. Following the merger, the Coors and Molson families jointly controlled Molson Coors, each holding one-third of the voting power. Learn more at https://www.molsoncoors.com/about .

Black Women in Sports Leadership: Navigating Workplace Blackness (December 10, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89570 89570-21664219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Identity is a critical attribute of effective leadership. Moreover, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis, 2010). Sport organizational cultures, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions), create habitus (Bourdieu, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell, 2010), and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

When do Multinational Corporations Concede to Nationalistic Activism: A Natural Experiment (January 14, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90174 90174-21668508@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

We extend the corporate political-mediation model, which is developed in a domestic context and attributes corporate concessions to social movement activists to contextual pressures, to the international market in order to explain concessions made by multinational corporations (MNC) to nationalist activists in their host countries. We argue that in the international market, the pressures that firms face include not only declines in performance but also those that arise from a more complex set of stakeholders. Whereas in a domestic context, all of a corporation’s stakeholders are embedded within the same cultural, political, and social environment and are therefore more likely to have a shared understanding of what is good, right, and desirable in society, in the international context of MNCs, stakeholders are located in countries with different national values and sometimes even opposing beliefs. Nationalism can be perceived as undermining the right of a nation’s individual members and minority groups. Thus, a firm is less likely to concede to a host country’s nationalism if it faces pressure from stakeholders located in countries that value equality, individualism, democracy, and diversity. We find support for our theory in a natural experiment on Fortune Global 500 firms that were targeted by Chinese nationalists for violating the “One China” protocol in regional indications.

CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Japan's U.S. Investment Dynamic: A New Look at the U.S. - Japan Economic Relationship (January 20, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90472 90472-21671099@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 20, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please note: Due to updated guidance from the university in regards to the COVID policy, this lecture will be only in a webinar format. Please register here to attend: https://myumi.ch/xdd15

This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required if you intend to participate virtually. Once you've registered, the joining information will be sent to your email. The Center for Japanese Studies will follow state, local, and University of Michigan guidelines for in-person events.

Japan is #1. That's right, Japanese companies are the leading foreign direct investor in the United States (2020). The velocity of U.S. based Japanese investment has gradually unfolded into a singular economic phenomenon. Unnoticed by the media, yet greatly supported by state and local governments, who have witnessed and consistently supported this virtuous cycle of manufacturing expansions of Japanese businesses in America's communities. By obtaining an understanding of the depth of Japanese direct investment in the U.S., one will obtain deeper insights of the bilateral relationship and thereby a more holistic perspective of the Japan - U.S. economic relationship.

Since 2017, Ralph Inforzato has been Chief Executive Director of JETRO Chicago. As Chief Executive Director, he oversees JETRO Chicago’s activities designed to facilitate trade and investment between Japan and 12 Midwestern states served by JETRO Chicago. Prior to his new position, Mr. Inforzato served as Executive Director, Business Development for JETRO Chicago. In this position he worked to implement JETRO’s team based projects to directly engage in assisting US business expansion to Japan. He initiated in-bound and out-bound technology collaboration for US & Japanese small and medium sized companies, which resulted in numerous business agreements. He also sustained the relationships that JETRO Chicago has with business, state government and university leaders.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Organizational Science and Health Care (January 21, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90175 90175-21668509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Research on topics of organizational science in health care settings for a variety of reasons has proliferated in recent years across both organization- and health-focused disciplines. Yet, questions abound about what we as organizational scholars know, what we have learned, and whether the research we are conducting is relevant. The first goal of this session is to take stock of this important domain by drawing together findings from two recent works: a critical history and analysis of the patient safety movement and an analysis of almost 700 articles published over the past decade in leading organizational science (OS) and health care (HC) journals. A second goal is to provide insight into promising avenues that could ultimately advance organizational science and health care with future research that is both rigorous and relevant.

Since the pandemic emerged in early 2020, the global economy and the way we do business has fundamentally changed. We have seen huge disruptions to supply chains around the world, vast disparities in health outcomes among different populations, work and education models shifted to remote and hybrid environments, and the highest levels of inflation in recent times. As we enter the third year of the pandemic, join University of Michigan experts Gabe Ehrlich, Samantha Keppler, Sarah Miller, and Nirupama Rao to hear about what we can expect from business and the economy in 2022. They will dive into topics related to education, healthcare, supply chain, and employment and inflation issues.

Technology's Law of Amplification and What It Means for Organizations Kentaro Toyama (January 28, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90347 90347-21670445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 1:30pm

Over the years, the tech industry has made many promises to organizational customers -- for example, that its products would improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase scale. More recently, the promises have extended to such things as improving teamwork and decision-making. While these promises have been realized in some contexts, they remain largely unmet in others. Is there a way to distinguish between realism and hype in computing? Technology's "Law of Amplification" is a simple idea that captures digital technology's impact. This talk will reveal how it explains a broad range of past and existing organizational phenomena, and how it suggests predictions for the future.

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 3, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21684138@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 3, 2022 10:00am
Location:
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

Using AI to Study Problems of Innovation in Science and Business (February 4, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91747 91747-21682702@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 4, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Innovation involves recombining past knowledge. The increasing rate at which scientific knowledge is expanding should bode well for innovation. Nevertheless, new problems related to the appraisal and valuation of new ideas and inventions are inhibiting innovation. One problem is that more scientific studies fail than pass replication tests, which has led to a deep skepticism of science, billions in economic losses, funding cuts, and a weakened job market in psychology. A second problem is that patent review has slowed while patent examiner disagreement and wrongful rejections of meritorious patent applications have risen. In this exploratory study, we investigate the potential of AI and machine learning to enhance the innovation evaluation process.
In study 1, we trained an artificial intelligence model to estimate a paper’s replicability using ground truth data on studies that had passed or failed manual replication tests, and then tested the model’s generalizability on an extensive set of out-of-sample studies. The model predicts replicability better than the base rate of reviewers and on part with prediction markets, the best present-day method for predicting replicability. We then used the model to conduct a discipline-wide census of replicability in Psychology. The analysis covers 14,129 papers, the near universe of all papers published in Psychology journals over a 20-year period in the six major subfields of Developmental, Social, Clinical, Cognitive, Organizational, and Personality psychology. We find replicability varies by subfield, research design methods, but not institutional prestige. Further, researchers’ past research records and social media strongly predict replicability; in particular, media attention predicts non-replication.
In study 2, we use new data on almost 4,000,000 U.S. patent applications, 2,000,000 EU patents, and 250,000 Canadian patents to test AI’s ability to identify patentable inventions and their future citation impact. We report three key findings. First, AI accurately predicts human experts’ decisions in spotting meritorious innovation at agreement levels of up to 95%, which is remarkable given the degree of variation and potential disagreement among individual patent examiners. Second, although hit patents disproportionately drive investments and innovation, current models and analysts have been unable to predict a patent’s future influence. We find that AI accurately predicts an invention’s future influence from application data, providing a new view of technological trajectories at the earliest time possible. Third, AI can reduce review process biases and misevaluations. Using applications that were mistakenly rejected by examiners but should have been accepted, AI model would made 47% fewer wrongful rejections.
In the case of both scientific papers and patents, AI appears to garner error-reducing information not from the application’s quantified data but from its descriptive free-text, which machines quantify better than humans. We discuss how these findings can improve innovation, scientific training, and performance.

Story Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events. To be an effective leader — at work, in the community, or in your personal life — you must be able to communicate with impact. Often this means telling stories that are meaningful to you and others, and doing so in the rich language and expressive style of a seasoned storyteller. If you can craft and deliver an effective story, you will be better able to convey your value to recruiters, inspire and motivate classmates and colleagues, and influence your audience. At Story Lab, you’ll find an immersive experience and an opportunity to hone your skills in a safe and supportive environment.

This half-day retreat will be led by expert storytellers who will lead you through exercises to build your confidence and realize your unique communication style while celebrating extraordinary displays of leadership on stages large and small.

Who should participate in the retreat:
Students with a strong interest in building storytelling abilities and leadership development. Any level student at any school is welcome.

How to participate in the retreat:

The only way to understand what it is to be human is to know what it is like to be not human. In this talk we will explore the minds of our closest relatives; bonobos and chimpanzees, and dogs – our closest friend. We will look at how these animals help us understand what makes us human, and how our minds came to be. We will arrive at the idea that it was friendliness that powerfully shaped both the bodies and minds of bonobos and dogs during their evolution. We will then consider if our own species evolved due to selection for friendliness. I will argue that comparing our friendly nature to other animals solves the paradox of human kindness and cruelty and points to the need for cross-group friendships to encourage a friendlier future.

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 17, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21683556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 17, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

The Clements Bookworm: The Varieties of Retail Experience; or, Buying Books in Nineteenth-Century America (February 18, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/91288 91288-21677911@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 18, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Few retail sectors have been as thoroughly transformed by the revolution in online commerce as the retail bookstore. The retail storefront dedicated primarily to the sale of printed books (new or used) has become a vanishing breed. Or so we are told. But how did readers in the past buy things to read? What sorts of retail outlets sold reading material? And what did it *feel* like to shop there? Clements Library Director Paul Erickson will draw on printed, manuscript, and visual sources to shed light on the various settings for the retail traffic in print in the 19th-century northern United States.

Please register at http://myumi.ch/gjgzR

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

Things Are Not What They Seem: The Origins & Evolution of Intragroup Conflict (February 18, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91806 91806-21690201@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 18, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Teams scholars have historically conceptualized and measured intragroup conflict at the team level. But emerging evidence suggests that perceptions of intragroup conflict are often not uniform, shared, or static. These findings suggest important questions about the microfoundations of intragroup conflict: Where does conflict within teams originate? And how does it evolve over time? We address these and other questions in three abductive studies. We consider four origination points—an individual, dyad, subgroup, or team—and three evolutionary trajectories—conflict continuity, contagion, and concentration. Study 1, a qualitative study of narrative accounts, and Study 2, a longitudinal social networks study of student teams, reveal that fewer than 30 percent of teams experience team-level conflict. Instead, conflict more commonly originates and persists at individual, dyadic, or subgroup levels. Study 2 further demonstrates that traditional psychometric intragroup conflict scales mask the existence of these various origins and trajectories of conflict. Study 3, a field study of manufacturing teams, reveals that individual and dyadic task conflict origins positively predict team performance, whereas traditional intragroup task conflict measures negatively predict team performance. The results raise serious concerns about current methods and theory in the team conflict literature and suggest that researchers must go beyond team-level conceptualizations of conflict.

Organized By: TEDxUofM

TEDxUofM is a university-wide initiative to galvanize the community for an event like no other; filled with inspiration, discovery, and excitement. Borrowing the template from the world-renowned TED conference, TEDxUofM aims to bring a TED-like experience to the University of Michigan. Our vision is to showcase the most fascinating thinkers and doers, the “leaders and best” in Michigan terms, for a stimulating day of presentations, discussions, entertainment, and art that will spark new ideas and opportunities across all disciplines. Our conference will feature 8 speakers, 3 performing groups, and interactive labs/activities for attendees!

Our theme for this year’s conference is SHATTERPROOF. Through a time of fragmentation and dissonance, individuals and communities have showcased an incredible ability to withstand adversity. Resilience is found in all of us despite the size of the challenge. We use our voices to empower each other. We use ideas to drive us forward. We refuse to crack under pressure. We are shatterproof. As we set the stage with this spirit, our goal is for attendees to discover what being shatterproof means to them.

The Populist Origins of Corporate Capitalism in Jeffersonian Virginia (March 7, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90222 90222-21668756@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 7, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The modern corporation as a legal and economic entity finds its origins, in American history, in the generation following the American Revolution. Its advocates understood the corporation as an expression of the revolution’s radically republican ideology, embodying its principles of consent, natural property rights, and community welfare.

A counter narrative, viewing the corporation as an anti-republican concentration of oligarchic power, developed as corporations’ economic roles became manifest. This seminar will look at a region in northern Virginia from which a wave of corporations were launched, c. 1790- 1820.

Instructor Jason Barrett is Professor of History and Humanities Department Chair at Lawrence Technological University. This seminar derives from his ongoing research into the political economy of the founding era. Reading and visual materials will be distributed in the seminar.

This class meets on Mondays, from March 7 – March 21. No classes on holidays.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Ipek Bilgen and Amelia Burke-Garcia - The Use of Advanced Social Media Targeting Methodology During Recruitment of Hard-to-Reach Audiences (March 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91859 91859-21683564@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 12:00pm

The Use of Advanced Social Media Targeting Methodology During Recruitment of Hard-to-Reach Audiences
Ipek Bilgen and Amelia Burke-Garcia

One of the major benefits of social media ad-based survey recruitment is the use of various types of data to target ads to users of these platforms. To target users of social media, researchers can use the basic demographic and geographic that social media platforms currently provide, or they can use enhanced data that can be embedded within the social media platforms supplied by third party providers based on external data sources, e.g., historical purchase data. We will examine whether and how much this enhanced data can impact ad based social media recruitment capabilities to reach niche and hard-to-reach audiences.

To investigate the targeting efficiency, quality, and cost differences among these two approaches that can be used to target audiences within social media platforms, NORC piloted a strategic initiative research study in 2020. A web survey was constructed using existing items from national surveys on individual’s health and online habits, as well as new items related to life changes during the pandemic. Two main audience groups that are generally hard to recruit through probability-based studies were targeted – young adults, ages 18-24, and people with low education (defined as anyone who has completed high school as the highest level of education or lower). Five sets of tailored ads with unique URLs that linked to a web-based survey were designed and launched via Facebook and Instagram. Two sets used basic targeting to recruit the sample and the other three used the enhanced targeting. This brown bag will present the design of the study, our approach to the ads and targeting, and what we learned through our examination of the differences between the samples obtained from basic and advanced targeting on the dimensions of recruited sample composition, survey estimates, and recruitment costs.

Her current research investigates panel recruitment and retention, total survey error sources in probability-based online panels, the use of web and emerging technologies in surveys, and questionnaire design and survey implementation issues. Her research also examines studies related to the use of auxiliary data for improved efficiency in surveys that use address-based sampling (ABS) and active survey recruitment through social media and search engines.

Bilgen is currently serving as Associate Editor of Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ). In the past, she has served as an elected member of American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)’s Executive Council as Membership and Chapter Relations Chair. She has also served on Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research (MAPOR)’s Executive Council as President, Vice President, Conference Chair, and Secretary Treasurer.

About the talk:

The Weiser Center for Real Estate Speaker Series brings together innovative thought leaders across the industry to share their knowledge with our community.

Detroit’s J.L. Hudson’s department store once occupied a full city block and stood as the tallest retail building in the world. Its closure in 1983 and demolition in 1998 left a physical and commercial void in the heart of the city’s central business district. Bold vision and collaboration have been essential to the reimagination of the site as a new Detroit landmark for the 21st century. Join us for a presentation and moderated discussion of Detroit’s Hudson’s site with Michelle Kleinman, Senior Associate at SHoP Architects, and Ryan Schell, Senior Development Manager at Bedrock Detroit. Michelle and Ryan will share more about their career journeys, their organizations, and their experience in making this transformational mixed-use project a reality.

About Michelle:

Michelle is Senior Associate at SHoP Architects and has been a member of the Hudson’s design team for five years. While on Hudson’s, Michelle has led enclosure design from concept through execution. Now based in Detroit, Michelle oversees Hudson’s construction and is spearheading SHoP’s continued efforts and commitment to Detroit. Michelle has additionally worked on diverse project types at SHoP, including adaptive re-use and public space on New York’s East River Waterfront. Michelle received her M. Arch from Columbia University’s GSAPP and B.A. in Art History from Emory University.

About Ryan:

Ryan Schell is Senior Development Manager at Bedrock Detroit. Since joining the company in 2019, he has managed its flagship redevelopment of the site of the former J.L. Hudson’s department store. This project will include over 1.5 million square feet of retail, event space, office, hotel, residential, public space, and parking, and will be the second tallest building in the State of Michigan and the first skyscraper built in Detroit in a generation. In his role, he oversees the project’s strategic direction and partners with internal teams and external consultants to plan, program, design, and deliver a world-class product. Ryan has an MBA and Master of Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Michigan, and B.A. in Economics from Harvard University.

Host:

This event is hosted by the Weiser Center for Real Estate and will be moderated by Marc Norman, Faculty Director of the Weiser Center for Real Estate and Associate Professor of Practice in Urban Planning.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students, alumni, and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$550 for U-M alumni or public
$425 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$325 for U-M Ross School of Business or U-M College of Engineering staff
$225 for Tauber Institute students
$145 for previous students to retake the exam

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, March 27 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, April 10 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 1, 2022 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

NOTE: The non-refundable fees

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

WDI to Host Top Diplomat to Vietnam on Building Trust & Taking Risks (March 16, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92377 92377-21690682@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

The William Davidson Institute (WDI) will host a discussion with Ted Osius, former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam and leader of the US-ASEAN Business Council. He will discuss Vietnam’s economic transformation and the skills necessary to succeed in cross-cultural business. The talk, “Building Trust and Taking Risks,” is set for 2 p.m. March 16, via Zoom.

A diplomat for 30 years, Osius served from 2014 to 2017 as U.S. ambassador to Vietnam during the Obama Administration. Leading a team of 900, Osius devised and implemented strategies to deepen economic, security and cultural ties between the two countries. Only the second openly gay career diplomat in U.S. history to achieve the rank of ambassador, Osius went to Vietnam with his husband and two children.

After leaving government, Osius joined Google as its Vice President for Government Affairs and Public Policy at Google Asia-Pacific and currently serves as President of the US-ASEAN Business Council, which represents 170 of the largest American businesses in Southeast Asia through its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and its seven regional offices.

During the talk, Osius will share some of the key insights from his 2021 book “Nothing is Impossible: America’s Reconciliation with Vietnam.” He’ll then discuss his fascinating career, including his time in the foreign service, his transition to Google, and how he landed in his current position at the US-ASEAN Business Council. He’ll talk about the differences in working in the public sector vs. the private sector.

“As a leader in foreign service, private enterprise and nonprofit organizations, Ambassador Osius offers a unique perspective for how building understanding can lead to historic opportunities,” said Amy Gillett, Vice President for Education at WDI who will convene the discussion with Osius.

Participants will have an opportunity to submit questions during the discussion.

Earlier in his career, Osius was a senior advisor at the Albright-Stonebridge Group and Vice President of Fulbright University Vietnam. Osius was associate professor at the National War College and Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

As a diplomat, Osius served as Deputy Chief of Mission in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Political Minister-Counselor in New Delhi, India. Osius also served as deputy director of the Office of Korean Affairs at the State Department, regional environment officer for Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and senior advisor on Asia and trade to Vice President Al Gore.

Osius earned a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, a Master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, and an Honorary Doctorate from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education.

Smart Infrastructure Finance: The transformational role of data for democratized digital project delivery (March 18, 2022 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93235 93235-21701784@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 18, 2022 12:30pm

Most investments in infrastructure projects take the form of (municipal) bonds, government and private debt and private equity, a form of financing that cannot be easily converted to cash. This limits the type of investor who will engage in projects. Data provides near real time insights into performance, structural health and use, much like share prices update as new information becomes available to inform buyers and sellers. As a result, data from physical infrastructure is setting the stage for a new software-as-a-service (SaaS)-like business and financing model where data contracts can be securitized, licensed and used for new infrastructure applications and services. By envisioning data as the informational stock (or collateral) of infrastructure, better pricing of its value, and improved liquidity of investments, are already starting to change designs and financing mechanisms that maximize performance delivery. Ultimately, by decreasing reliance of financing on the tax base of communities, access to quality infrastructure services will become more democratized, as data-driven revenue starts contributing to the funding mechanism.

The Weakness of Strong Expectations: Diffusion and the Self-Defeating Prophecy (March 18, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92750 92750-21695192@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 18, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

New innovations, practices, and behaviors often spread through diffusion processes in which earlier adopters influence later adopters. However, research on diffusion has a well-documented success bias — cases in which a new innovation successfully spreads through a population or organizational field garner more attention and theorizing than the countless other cases in which similar innovations fail to take off. The same theories and models that account for successful diffusion often become cumbersome when tasked with explaining failed diffusion, an outcome that is at least equally common. In this talk, I will present results from a theoretically-informed computational model of organizational behavior to argue that failed diffusion need not be more mysterious than successful diffusion. In fact, both outcomes may reflect the same underlying mechanisms rooted in how actors form social expectations for how others will behave. Organizations interpret their peers’ decisions to adopt or reject a new innovation in light of their own socially formed expectations, with unsurprising decisions having less impact than conspicuous surprises. Consequently, successive adoptions of a new innovation reinforce its spread while also paradoxically making its continued diffusion more susceptible to disruptions that can make a previously growing “bandwagon” suddenly and unexpectedly collapse. These dynamics make the spread of new innovations noisy and unpredictable because the same innovation facing identical initial conditions can diffuse widely in some cases but fail to launch in others. While we often think of institutionalized expectations as making the social world more predictable, the opposite also holds—widely-believed prophecies can be self-defeating as well as self-fulfilling.

Does Cryptocurrency Have a Future? (March 25, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93617 93617-21706429@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 12:00pm

It’s increasingly hard to find anyone to seriously defend the current state of cryptocurrencies. The predominant use of cryptocurrencies is speculation, which is almost certain to result in a bubble and crash. The second most common use is for fraud and crime of one kind or another. The largest currencies, notably BitCoin, are now among the most egregious contributors to climate change.

In this informal talk and discussion, Nathaniel Borenstein will explain how the very concept of cryptocurrency has been hijacked by people and groups with personal or political agendas. In particular, he will try to separate the current generation of cryptocurrencies and their problems from the wider range of digital currencies that have existed in the past and are likely to exist in the future, and will discuss how, if they were better designed and regulated, cryptocurrencies might yet play a valuable role in the economy.

Nathaniel hopes for a lively discussion rather than just a lecture. While he will not hide his beliefs, he will try to be aware of and transparent about his own biases, and welcomes a constructive discussion with anyone holding opposing views.

Nathaniel Borenstein has been an Internet innovator since 1980. In 1994, he founded the first online payment system, First Virtual Holdings, and in 2000, he founded the first network-based point-of-sale system, NetPOS. He has followed developments in online payments since the 1980's, and he sees Bitcoin as a genuine threat to human civilization.

Corporate Activism and Organizational Authenticity (March 25, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91809 91809-21683060@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 1:30pm

Corporate activism is when a firm takes a public stance on a social or political issue. Although the public increasingly expects corporations to engage in activism, their support varies across individual corporate activist campaigns. While social movement theories predict that the public will support corporate activism in general, organizational authenticity theory suggests that corporate activism may backfire if a firm lacks type or moral authenticity. Using semi-structured interviews with a variety of different stakeholders, a national survey on 525 corporate Black Lives Matter statements, and two pre-registered experiments, we find that the public generally supports corporate activism, but that a firm’s type and moral authenticity can substitute for one another in shaping the public’s attitudes (support for and intention to join) and behaviors (donation and writing letters of support). We contribute to social movement theory by bringing in organizational theories of authenticity to help us explain when and why corporate activism sometimes fails to mobilize support, and we extend research on organizational authenticity by showing an interaction between type and moral authenticity.

Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students, alumni, and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$550 for U-M alumni or public
$425 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$325 for U-M Ross School of Business or U-M College of Engineering staff
$225 for Tauber Institute students
$145 for previous students to retake the exam

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, March 27 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, April 10 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 1, 2022 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In my research, I focus on the organizational aspects of work and employment, studying how management practices and managers influence key employment outcomes for employees and organizations over time. I formulate and answer my research questions in a variety of empirical settings, making use of company field studies and experimental research methodologies. Given the widely popular goals of promoting meritocracy and creating opportunities inside organizations, for a number of years now, I have investigated the role that merit, performance evaluations, and other talent-management practices play in shaping employees’ careers in today’s workplace. In my presentation, I will discuss the key findings of some of my projects on achieving meritocracy and excellence in organizations. In so doing, I will highlight the practical insights of my research into the areas of employment, organizations, and workplace inequality.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students, alumni, and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$550 for U-M alumni or public
$425 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$325 for U-M Ross School of Business or U-M College of Engineering staff
$225 for Tauber Institute students
$145 for previous students to retake the exam

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, March 27 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, April 10 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 1, 2022 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Jerry Davis: Taming Corporate Power in the 21st Century (April 21, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94522 94522-21747490@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 21, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

Join us for a book chat between author Jerry Davis and Michigan Ross/SEAS professor Andy Hoffman on Jerry’s examination of corporate power in the 21st century, and how to tame it.

Jerry Davis is the Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration at the Ross School of Business and Professor of Sociology, The University of Michigan. Davis received his PhD from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. Davis’s research is broadly concerned with the corporation as a social and economic vehicle.

His newest book “Taming Corporate Power in the 21st Century” is focused on the fact that the diagnosis and the cure are rooted in an outdated understanding of how the American economy is organized. Information and communication technologies have fundamentally altered the markets for capital, labor, supplies, and distribution in ways that undermine ways to tame the new sources of economic power.
