Management departments have largely fallen into camps that center on either “micro” or “macro” research even if scholarship that spans those camps is commonly espoused as valuable. In this boundary-spanning Professional Development Workshop (PDW), we will present brief introductory talks on the past, present, and prospects for “meso” research(ers); solicit thoughts from each PDW attendee; cultivate discussion through a set of well-organized roundtables; consider report-backs from the roundtables; and, hear integrative thoughts from senior editors and deans. While acknowledging evidence and experiences that indicate the challenges that “meso” research(ers) can face, the PDW will focus constructively on ways that individuals and institutions (e.g., departments, schools, and journals) can do a better job enacting the popular espousal of research that is integrative of “micro” and “macro” perspectives, approaches, and tools.
