 My name is Linda Argoody and I have the honor of holding the David and Barbara Kear Professorship of Organizational Behavior and Theory. She has done work mainly in three broad areas. One is the learning curve, one is knowledge transfer and one is transactive memory. And one of her most cited papers is a knowledge transfer which is about 4,900 citations. So you can see how impactful her work has been across the management field in many areas. And then the particular area I work in is this idea of organizational learning. As organizations acquire experience, how do they interpret that experience to improve their performance? And the collaboration with Ahus was related to that although it gave me an opportunity to look more at the micro foundations of organizational learning. Rich Burton, who was a colleague at Duke University, introduced me to two collaborators at Ahus. Gorda Hotkinson and Beau O'Bell. Beau is an academic entrepreneur. One of the things he's done that's been very successful is start the Journal of Organizational Design. I'm pleased to say I've been involved in that as most recently as an associate editor. It's a very exciting journal. It's open source. It aims to publish research and also influence practice. And it has really stimulated a resurgence in the question of how to design organizations to make them effective. Gorda and her colleagues prepared a chapter for a handbook that John Levine and I are editing that's coming out from Oxford this summer. A handbook of group and organizational learning. So it was great to work with her in that context. She did a wonderful chapter on how emotion affects learning. So we were thrilled to be able to publish this research in a top tier journal, the Strategic Management Journal. And also it was on a more personal note incredibly satisfying to work with the team from Ahus. They were interdisciplinary which is something I value and it was fun to work with people that also were comfortable bringing different disciplines to bear. Professor Linda Agode is one of the world's leading scholars in the field of organizational learning, innovation and knowledge transfer. She is a true role model for young and established scholars. She has a very impressive list of publication in top tier journals, written numerous book chapters just as she has served the profession by editing very valuable handbooks. Professor Agode has had and still have many relations to Ahus University. She was part of the unique project MindLab at Ahus University where she was part of the organizing team. In 2010 she was visiting professor at Ahus School of Business today, Ahus Business. And she has visited Ahus University for shorter periods both before and after 2010. In addition to all this marriage, Professor Agode continues to be an inspirational singer, a truly respected and supportive colleague, not only to her colleagues here in Ahus, but to the entire world. It is therefore my great privilege and pleasure to confer on you the degree Dr. Meka Turi-Unoes-Kauser at Ahus University. Congratulations Professor Agode.
