“Risk” and its “management” are rapidly gaining importance in managerial and organizational contexts. This phenomenon presents an opportunity to advance our research and theories. However, the potential of management scholars is often limited by the complexities of analyzing risk, which arise from diverse theoretical approaches, heterogeneous empirical contexts, and differences in scholarly values. This symposium aims to facilitate an exchange, comparison, and integration of ideas on risk and related research by bringing together four established panelists (Steven Maguire, Sim Sitkin, Michael Useem, & Klaus Weber) for a constructive, interactive discussion. The theme aligns well with the AoM theme, and we anticipate attracting a large audience, particularly from the OMT, SAP, & MOC divisions.
