    In our quest for knowledge, are we building on solid ground? Across management, strategy, and organization theory, a shadow of doubt looms-limited replicability, researcher bias, and the challenge of proving true causality threaten the very foundation of our work. Our theories are powerful, but are our findings truly valid? How do we move from mere correlation to confident causation, ensuring our research is not just interesting, but trustworthy?  

    Passport to Rigor is a hands-on workshop designed to make your empirical research more robust and impactful. Through an interactive "show and tell" format, you will share your own experimental designs, ask critical questions, and receive expert answers. 

    We begin with speakers sharing key insights from their specific areas of expertise in experimental research. Following these perspectives, the floor is yours. You are invited to join an expert's table for a free-flowing discussion, allowing you to ask direct questions and dive deeper into the topics that matter most to you. 

    We are early birds and will meet on Saturday, Jul 26 2025 8:00 - 9:30AM at Bella Center in Auditorium 11.
