We illustrate the utility of our methodology for bridging SP and SAP research by theorizing practices that are more likely to give rise to unrealized and ephemeral strategy, identifying their likely consequences, and presenting a research agenda for studying these transient manifestations.</p> <p> Mon, 23 Oct 2017 16:25:44 +0000 webfull 132142 at /channels /channels/news/autonomous-strategic-behavior-emergent-strategy-229896 <p><strong>Authors:</strong> Mirabeau, Laurent; <strong>Maguire, Steve</strong></p> <p><strong>Publication:</strong> Strategic Management Journal, 2013</p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:40:14 +0000 webfull 97993 at /channels /channels/news/professor-steve-maguire-receives-queen-elizabeth-ii-diamond-jubilee-medal-218707 <p>Professor<strong> Steve Maguire</strong>, Director of Marcel Desautels Institute for Integrated Management at the Desautels Faculty of Management, has been awarded a 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal on October 19, 2012 for his dedication to his peers, his community, and to Canada.

An indictment of inattention to the flow and negative consequences of synthetic chemicals in the environment, Carson’s book catalyzed the environmental movement in North America. It also undermined the public’s confidence in simple assertions of “better living through chemistry” which, while not untrue, did not represent a full accounting of the risks and benefits of chemical technologies. The industry has been challenged to regain the public’s confidence ever since.</p> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:36:56 +0000 webfull 94823 at /channels /channels/news/organizing-risk-discourse-power-and-%E2%80%98riskification-2017-finalist-best-paper-award-academy-management-267890 <p>Professor <a href="http://node/65107"><strong>Steve Maguire</strong></a>’s paper published in the <em>Academy of Management Review</em>, 41(1): 80 – 108 with co-author Cynthia Hardy was selected by the Best Paper Awards Committee for the prestigious distinction as one of the top three finalists for best papers published in AMR in 2016.</p> Wed, 26 Apr 2017 16:19:14 +0000 webfull 127951 at /channels /channels/news/building-links-between-green-chemists-and-business-education-218224 <p>On September 7 and 8, 2012, ƻ����Ժ (Montréal, Canada) hosted a unique workshop designed to foster green innovation in the next generation.
