Micro Meets Macro Conference
Presented under the direction of faculty from the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, the annual Micro Meets Macro Conference aims to spur excellence both within and across scholarly domains by bringing together management scholars who would not normally interact. The conference bridges disciplinary perspectives on timely and relevant organizational phenomena, as a forum for the lively exchange of ideas among a small group of leading micro and macro scholars.
A set of formal exchanges and ideas (e.g., keynote addresses, panel and small group discussions) — plus ample opportunities for informal exchanges while enjoying the benefits of winter in Arizona — help stimulate conversations and interactions. In addition to examining research by scholars across the micro and macro fields, the conference is an opportunity for PhD candidates from member schools to interact with one another, as well as with faculty from universities nationwide.
