Acknowledgments

This volume is the product of an interdisciplinary gathering of organizations scholars convened in the summer of 2013 with generous support of the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council, the Organization and Management Theory Division of the Academy of Management. We gratefully acknowledge financial and in-kind support from our home institutions, Cornell University, McGill University, and the University of Alberta. We thank the authors of the volume papers, all of whom were invited as mentors or participants. We would also like to recognize the mentors who provided valuable feedback and commentary at the event and have been and continue to be valued colleagues and collaborators: Christine Beckman, Forrest Briscoe, Emilio Castilla, and Marc Ventresca. We especially want to thank both Steve Barley and Jim Baron who have been mentors and inspirations to all of us.
