Webinar synopsis
In this Webinar Professor Andrew Pettigrew will discuss some of the key challenges of process scholarship in the fields of management, organisation and strategy. Process scholarship involves the dynamic study of behaviour within and between organisation focusing on context, activity and action over time. Process questioning includes the examination of antecedents, context, evolution and development, sequencing, pace and consequence, and output questions.
Examples will be drawn from the fields of decision making, power, change, strategy and leadership, change and organisational performance. Andrew Pettigrew argues the goal of such research is not only to catch reality in flight but to produce forms of knowledge that meet the double hurdle of the highest scholarly quality and policy/practice impact on society
This event is part of the annual BAM Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building (AACCB) Masterclasses.
Our series of BAM Masterclasses are delivered by prominent management theorists from across the globe each year. These online webinars are an exceptional learning experience, revealing how top academics think about the world, what inspires them, and how they develop and apply their ideas. Where do influential ideas come from? What leads to them to being widely taken up?
During the Masterclasses, our highly renowned speakers explain how their academic and intellectual journeys begun, and how they developed as influential academics in management. There are also opportunities to ask questions and engage directly with the speakers.

He has taught and researched at Yale University, London Business School, Harvard Business School and Warwick Business School. Between 2003 and 2008 he was Dean of the School of Management at the University of Bath.
His research has pioneered the use of contextual and processual analyses of strategy making, change, decision making and power. He has been awarded many distinctions as a scholar including Fellow of the British Academy, Fellow of the British Academy of Management and Distinguished Scholar of the (US) Academy of Management where he is still the only non North American to be awarded this distinction.
He has been awarded Honorary Doctorates from the University of Linkoping, Sweden; Copenhagen Business School; the University of Liege; the University of Sherbrooke, Canada; and the University of Liverpool where he graduated in Sociology in 1965.
His latest research is on the study of system wide change and the institutional development of Business Schools. His research is informed by the ambition that as scholars we all face the need to produce work of the highest scholarly quality and have policy and practice impact on society.
In 2008 he was awarded an OBE by the Queen for his services to higher education
