He received his PhD from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 where he worked under Herbert Simon. His research takes a behavioral approach to a variety of strategic management topics, such as risk assessment, firm temporal orientations, R&D policy, trust in organizations, and strategic decision processes. He is the author of over 80 journal articles and book chapters as well as two books. He serves as an Associate Editor of Strategic Management Journal and on the boards of Journal of Management Studies and Journal of Management & Strategy. He previously served as an associate editor of Management Science and on the editorial boards of Strategic Organization, Organization Science, Journal of Management, and Academy of Management Journal. Today, a variety of empirical and conceptual papers in management and organization research still build more or less explicitly on established ‘management classics’ in the Carnegie tradition (Simon, 1947; March & Simon, 1958; Cyert & March, 1963). The purpose of this workshop is twofold. First, to unite PhD students and early career academics with more senior scholars that integrate these management classics into their research. Second, to foster joint reading, understanding, and integration of the foundational works in the Carnegie School tradition. Workshop participants will engage in discussions to establish connections between ‘management classics’ and state-of-the-art publications and to set the stage for innovative, novel research questions. The workshop will finish with a video conference with Prof. Jim March. Claus Rerup is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Ivey Business School at Western University. He received his PhD from the Aarhus School of Business, Denmark in 2001. His areas of expertise include organizational learning and routines, organizational attention and sense-making in the context of organizational crisis and accidents. His work has been published among others in the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Management, Organization Science and Journal of Management Studies. Furthermore, he serves as an editorial board member of the Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Organization, and Organization Science. To reflect on how selected management classics have inspired own research programs, established researchers of the organizing universities as well as selected guest speakers will collectively contribute to panel discussions and present on nominated topics. The affiliated speakers include three established researchers from the organizing and affiliated universities.
