Are you interested in learning more about mixed research methods? Consider attending this informative and practical HCM sponsored interactive workshop that is intended for all levels: those who are new to mixed methods, are considering undertaking mixed methods research, or have mixed methods research projects underway.
A brief "theory burst" will serve as an orientation to the mixed methods research process, including a brief history of the approach, worldview foundations, and will offer an introduction to the main considerations of mixed methods researchers relating to: design selection, sampling and data collection, data analysis techniques and integration, presentation, and inference.
The theoretical overview will be followed by a 75-minute facilitated working session in which researchers will have an opportunity to discuss their own planned, or ongoing, research projects with experts in mixed methods research. In the interactive component, participants will self-organize into groups focusing on question formulation & design selection, sampling & data collection, or data analysis & integration. Each group will be led by one or two experienced researchers.

Hi All!
Please join us for a PDW on User Innovation at the upcoming AoM Conference in Chicago. The details are as follows:
Title: Users as Sources of Technological Innovation: Consequences for Firm Strategy and Industry Evolution
Research questions: Does the phenomenon of user innovation support existing theories of technological innovation and industrial change or is this alternative source of innovation one that will force us to reconsider, extend, or radically alter existing theories? Does user innovation apply to all the stages of industry evolution or does it apply to emerging industries only? We try to address these questions through the PDW.
Intellectual Leader: Ron Adner; Dartmouth College
Organizers: David M. Gomulya; U. of Washington; Raja Roy, Drexel U.; Sonali K. Shah; U. of Washington.

Join us for the PDW: "Exploring Openness of Innovation: A Methodological Discourse" at this year's Academy of Management Meeting
Saturday, Aug 8 2009, 2:50PM - 4:20PM, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Addams
sponsored by TIM & BPS Division
While in recent years innovation worldwide has became one of the most popular buzzwords among academics, business people, consultants and politicians alike, the current financial and economic crisis might help us to find our way back to the roots and to the essence of innovation. Therefore, we call for a deeper exploration of what 'openness of innovation' means in times characterized by managing the unexpected. This proposal for a TIM Professional Development Workshop emphasizes the challenges of researching openness of innovation. We intend to start a methodological discourse among scholars who have a different focus of researching openness, who are trained in different disciplines, and who are at different stages of their academic career. We believe that such a heterogeneous setting of scholars will allow for deep insights into the field. In particular, it is the aim of the proposed workshop to be provocative and to go beyond the well-known textbook knowledge of what it means to explore openness of innovation. To do so, we will ask the participants to share with the audience their knowledge and very personal experience and insights from a methodological perspective, which they have gained while researching openness of innovation This PDW will be developmental for its participants as we hope that the workshop experience and discussion will highlight the importance of exploring openness of innovation, and illustrate the possibilities for methodological approaches towards this fascinating phenomenon. The more specific takeaways of the workshops are: Exploring openness of innovation and gaining methodological insights how this phenomenon can be studied from different, nevertheless still integrative, perspectives.
Excited? Pre-registration is encouraged, but you are also kindly invited to contact Anne-Katrin Neyer (anne-katrin.neyer@wiso.uni-erlangen.de if you are interested in participating.

Are you an Academy of Management Member and Management Scholar who is curious about the role that blogs can play in your professional world?
Have you wondered how to find relevant blogs, create an efficient blog-reading practice, comment effectively on other people's blogs, write for a group blog, or maybe even start your own blog?
Join us at the Academy of Management for a workshop on *Blogging for Management Scholars: Why & How to Read Blogs, Write for Blogs, and Create your Own Blog, *being held *Friday, Aug 7 2009. *
This workshop follows a modular format, broken into three phases that will teach members how to use blogs at three levels of increasing engagement, from reading to writing to publishing ones own blog. And, the workshop includes a group blogging opportunity that will run during and after the Academy meetings.
- Phase 1 (8 am – noon) introduces the medium and the active community of
management scholar blogs for those who want to read and comment on blogs
effectively.
- Phase 2 (1 pm to 3 pm) teaches participants how to find their niche, to adjust their writing paradigm, and to contribute to existing blogs as writers.
- Phase 3 ( 3 pm - 6 pm) will have a smaller, limited enrollment. Phase 3 will teach the basics of creating your own blog.
The workshop combines informational presentations, a panel discussion by eight management scholar-bloggers, roundtable conversations, and hands-on exercises, as well as the open invitation to blog at
www.InsightsToActions.com <http://www.insightstoactions.com/>.
Pre-work (available online at www.InsightsToActions.com<http://www.insightstoactions.com/>)
will establish a basic level of understanding, and a post-session group-blogging experiment open to the Academy will let participants apply what they learn. Participants will clarify their blog-related scholarly opportunities, their blog community, their topical niche and their authorial voice. Participants will leave this workshop (1) aware of the opportunities that blogs offer management scholars, (2) able to identify, understand and use the major features of a blog, (3) understanding the array of blogs being published by management scholar colleagues, and (4) able to participate at their desired level of engagement.

The Tilburg Conference on Innovation:
Innovation at the Intersection of Strategy, Organization and Learning
JUNE 10-12, 2010
Center for Innovation Research (CIR)
Tilburg University
The Netherlands
Successful innovation is fundamentally about the discovery, use and commercialization of new products, processes and services. Organizations engage in innovation in order to enhance their performance; those that fail to innovate run the risk of losing out to those that do. But innovation as such does not guarantee competitive success, as the degree to which firms are able to benefit from their innovative efforts varies widely. This conference aims to explore the drivers and consequences of this
heterogeneity. Innovation strategy involves a number of decisions regarding the nature and type of innovations to engage in, as well as the speed, openness, and flexibility with which the organizations respond to challenges.
Additionally, organizations experience a tension between routine and innovation, which implies that they need to balance the resources dedicated to explorative and to exploitative projects. In many respects, issues related to innovation strategy are inseparable from those related to the organization of innovation activities. To begin with, organizations face issues regarding the governance of innovation activities: whether to develop know-how in-house, in collaboration with other organizations, or to outsource it. Additionally, how organizations manage their portfolio of innovation activities and organize the innovation process is critical for success. The timeliness and
successful commercialization of innovations are especially important. In this sense, insight into organizational learning processes in innovative projects and organizations is also crucial to understanding their innovative performance.
Hence, the central theme of this conference will deal with innovation at the intersection of strategy, organization and learning. The Tilburg Conference on Innovation, hosted by the Center for Innovation Research at Tilburg University, is a forum in which scholars from intersecting research streams will come together to debate current research and gain insights into future trends. This will be a small conference with a maximum of 45 papers so that participants have the opportunity to receive quality feedback. Our aim is to include participants from all over the world and to give equal opportunity to younger as well as established scholars, with quality of research being the predominant goal.
We invite both theoretical and empirical papers that predominantly, though not exclusively, reflect some of the following issues:
* What organizational capabilities are needed to deploy and govern innovative activities effectively, especially in fast-changing environments and across great distances?
* How does organizational structure affect the learning inputs and outcomes involved in innovation?
* In what ways do networks of organizations contribute to the development of innovations?
* How do institutional forces affect the innovative performance of organizations?
Any other contributions pertaining to innovation strategy, organization of innovation and organizational learning for innovation are also welcome.
There is no registration fee, and presenting authors will have their accommodation covered during their stay. An added attraction of the conference is the opportunity to visit the southern Netherlands in spring and sample the best local beers Belgium and the Netherlands have to offer.
Submission process: Please submit a full paper to cir@uvt.nl by February 15,
2010. The authors of selected papers will be notified by March 15, 2010.
