1. to be at right place, right moment
2. suffer decimating salaries
3. dark side of business
4. career changes means solving tensions
5. becoming a critical scholar is not a career, but a project

I completed PhD in the intellectual tradition of CMS, using Foucault's concept of 'Neoliberal Governmentality' for exploring the conduct of academics in India and their experiences and resistances. But, post PhD, I am finding it difficult to obtain a suitable career in academia. I can't think of doing another PhD.
2. CMS, in India, is fragmented and there is inadequate support from people who're already in the thick of their writing in CMS journals. 
3. When ever, I attend interviews, and present my work, it is perceived as anti-business school and 'abstract'.
4. I don't have anyone to converse with and talk about my work and find it extremely difficult to approach people from U.K, Australia and New Zealand. 

Any piece of advice??

Thank you organisers for hosting a wonderful session. 
Ritesh Kumar, Mumbai, India.

Use special issues]]> 2020-07-23 11:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660954147 https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660955391 I am really struck by the voices pointing out the exclusionary culture in CMS, which explains a good deal about my first experience with CMS when I joined Academy of Management as an early doctoral student.  I was drawn to the critical perspective, but could not relate to the narrow, white British discourse that also seemed to disregard my lived experiences in social entrepreneurship (even that seemed to be the "dark side"). So instead of becoming active in that community, I've simply tried to bring critical perspectives into my socially-motivated research that is more at home in other divisions (OMT, SIM, etc.). ]]> 2020-07-23 11:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660955391 https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660955620 2020-07-23 11:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660955620 arturoeosorio https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660957147 1. For many CMS is a career (make a living) not a calling (make a change)
2. we are often intellectual elitist
3. we are often opportunistic to survive -chose special topics issues rather than general topic journals
4. We are fragmented
5. We are often our own worst enemy and prevent our own ability to grown as a community]]> 2020-07-23 11:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660957147 https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660957495 Critical perspectives (or willingness to question our field's foundational assumptions) are moving into more mainstream communities of scholarship. I see this occurring in the International Humanistic Management Association, the new Impact Scholars Community, and Responsible Research in Business & Management.  Also, Positive Organizational Scholarship, sustainability research communities, etc.  Granted, not all in these other communities buy into critical perspectives, but I am seeing a shift in both practice and scholarly communities. So where does that leave CMS as a community?]]> 2020-07-23 11:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660957495 https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660960135 One anecdote that stuck with me was the mention of two academics, one who had very limited experience at a prestigious consulting firm vs. lengthy experience in low-prestige sales. Our field's elitism (certainly not limited to CMS) and gravitation to prestige can disadvantage the majority of scholars who enter academia after significant (but not elite) careers. I have felt that my career experience, while valuable for my students and for helping provide reality checks on theoretical ideas, is entirely discounted by other academics.]]> 2020-07-23 11:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660960135 https://padlet.com/kathleenriach/br2907mgykwflgeh/wish/660964226 How can we move from gatekeepers of critical theory into provocateurs and changemakers grounded in critical perspectives of business?
**Some models available in other fields/disciplines (historians of a field, taking reflexive perspectives)
** Diversify the ways in which we communicate with other academic communities
** explore alternative ways of disseminating research findings (video, arts, guerrilla tactics)
** bridge gaps in methodological approaches that tend to divide the community
