If you are considering working with sport data, you cannot miss this AOM's PDW that will bring together a selection of authors and editors who recently published in top journals by leveraging different sport data.
Our PDW will combine hands-on insights, state-of-the-art research presentations, senior and junior scholars' discussion, and participants' development of novel research proposals.
Our PDW will tackle the following questions:
- What kinds of theories can be tested with sport data? Which sport settings are better suited for specific research questions and designs?
- What existing theoretical problems could be tackled with sports data? How could a research agenda look like?
- What are the typical challenges that scholars using sport data face during the publication process at top-tier management journals? How can scholars overcome them?
- Where can scholars find and how can they obtain sport data for research purposes? What are appropriate methods for testing theories using sport data?
PANELISTS AND TOPICS
The panelists have been selected due to their specific and complementary expertise with using sport data in recent management publications.
