    one...
    This message has been sent to you on behalf of Stewart Miller and Michael
    McDonald (University of Texas at San Antonio).
    Our apologies for any cross-postings you may receive about these events.

    You are cordially invited to attend the All-Academy Themed
    Symposium “Crisis Management and Adversity: Opportunities for
    Organizational Development and Learning”
    Scholars and practitioners have demonstrated a long-standing interest in
    how organizations respond to adversity that is a by-product of external
    forces. This PDW examines a number of timely questions: When and how do
    organizational leaders see developmental and learning opportunities in the
    difficulties their organizations face? When and how do executive-level
    managers exploit these opportunities to improve future organizational
    competencies? When and how do top executives garner lessons from the
    difficulties they face that help their organizations respond more
    effectively to similar difficulties in the future? We believe that these
    questions fit well with the “West Meets East” overarching theme of the
    2011 Academy of Management meeting. In particular, the Chinese characters
    for “crisis management” translate to danger and opportunity. We have
    invited San Antonio executive leaders to discuss these important crisis
    management questions.
    Four San Antonio executives discuss their organizations’ exemplary actions
    in the face of major crises that affected their employees.
