    Dear Colleagues,

    We hope that you can join us at the 'Meet TIM: Research Networking" event.
    Saturday, Aug 6,  5:00 PM to 6:30 PM at the Anaheim Marriott Grand Ballroom
    Salon F.  Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Technology &
    Innovation Management division, identifying other researchers interested in
    collaboration who match your research interests may be slightly difficult.
    This networking opportunity is aimed at putting together academics
    interested in collaboration who have already identified their focal
    interest area, and seeing if sparks fly!

    During the session, participants will have the opportunity to speak for 5
    minutes with up to 9 other participants who also are looking for a new
    research collaborator in the same research area. At the end of the session,
    plans to further connect with any of the participants who sounded like
    potential co-authors may be made.

    *Research areas*:*

     Open & Collaborative Innovation
     Technology Innovation Strategy
     Alliances & Ecosystems
     The Innovation Environment: Competition, Industry, and Institutions
     Learning, Search, and Knowledge
     Multi-Level Innovation: Creativity & Teams
     New Product Development & Introduction
     *** Digital platforms and innovation ecosystems - ADDED 

    *If you have an area of interest that is not covered by this list, please
    contact Karen Nicholas
    (kunicholas@mix.wvu.edu), and we will do our best to find others!

    *Suggestions to help you prepare.*

    *1.* Prepare two or three questions to ask your potential co-authors.
    For example:
    - Are you in a position to start a new project with me?
    - Do you have any stalled projects I could help jump start?
    - Do you have any papers that need a critical review?
    - Is there a paper representative of your research stream that I could
    check out to get a
    - What type of contexts/industries/theories are you interested in?
    - Do you have a need for my particular expertise? (i.e., research methods -
    qualitative feel for
    your interests? or quantitative, analytical techniques, scale development,
    etc.)

    *2. *Prepare responses to the above questions. Participants in each session
    range from doctoral students to full professors. Consider how you can
    leverage different individuals' experiences and expertise.
    For example:
    - Do I have access to data that I don't have time to analyze?
    - Do I have a project that needs a fresh perspective or a new set of eyes?
    - Do I need help coding or collecting data?
    - Can I benefit from the guidance and wisdom of a senior colleague in the
    field?

    Pre-registration is not required.
