The PDW offers a space for AOM members to reflect on the role of the management practitioner within Management Education (ME) as part of an overall challenge to rethink strategies of industry-academia collaboration, and reinvent our current partnerships with practitioners. This PDW aims to address their diverse and often underrepresented roles within business schools, with a focus on bridging the gap between academia and industry. While scholar academics typically receive the most attention, this PDW recognizes the importance of acknowledging and empowering other key stakeholders who play crucial roles in business education. While open to all AOM members, the target audience is management practitioners who are contributing to management education in roles such as Adjunct Faculty, Professors-In-Practice, Executive in Residence, Executive Education Faculty, Teaching Fellows, practitioner-oriented faculty, online educators, DBAs, and others, and to also bring in practitioners within business schools like Academic Administrators, Technology Support, Learning Technologist and EdTech companies. These and many others practitioners are part of ME but could lack a voice or a home at AOM. Though they are critical contributors to ME, they are underrepresented at academic conferences like the AOM. This PDW is designed to be inclusive, to support these critical players and to share best practices in this domain. The PDW is organised around four perspectives: (1) The role of practitioners in Management Education; (2) Industry-academia integration in executive education; (3) Bringing best practices for practitioners into the management classroom; and (4) Innovative business models of industry-academia collaboration: multi-stakeholder perspective.
