The Bureau-Café at AOM

August 2018

On a sunday morning, in the annual meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM) this year Michael Y. Lee and I organized a "Bureau-Cafe." This was an informal meeting part of the off-program of the OMT division in order to bring together academics interested in themes related to bureaucracy and formal organization dynamics. A number of academics from various institutions attended the session and shared their ongoing research projects and plans related to, among other themes, routines and formal procedures, the work of bureaucrats across history, the formalization of diversity ambassadors, and the changing nature of bureaucracy and formal structures in the contemporary workplace.
