Dear All,
Please note that we are currently accepting work-in-progress paper submissions for the second part of our PDW on Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research, which will be held on Friday, Aug 5, 2016, 3:00 PM - 6:00PM. In this part of the PDW, the facilitators (see the list below) will provide you with in-depth feedback on your experimental study projects.
Call for Submissions to the AOM 2016 Professional Development Workshop (PDW) on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research"
The PDW is aimed at advancing experimental research on institutions and strategy by encouraging dialog between theorists and experimentalists from different disciplinary backgrounds. Specifically, the workshop consists of two segments.
(1) The first segment starts with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars present their views on the following three key questions: What may experimental research contribute to the current knowledge of institutional and strategic processes in organizations? What are some of the key challenges involved in applying experiments to investigate these topics? What are relevant experimental paradigms and measures? The discussion will then be broadened to address other questions brought up by the audience.
Directly after the panel discussion, the PDW features a showcase research presentation titled "Dynamic capabilities and their characteristic qualities: Insights from a lab experiment" by Koen Heimeriks and Jutta Wollersheim. The presentation offers a window into one possible approach to experimental institutional inquiry.
(2) After a short break, the second segment of the program consists of a paper development workshop. Here, the facilitators provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress research submitted in advance by workshop participants. Similar papers will be clustered together (based on topic) and will be discussed in small groups. Papers should be related to the workshop theme and can be in various developmental stages; both proposals and full manuscripts will be considered.
If you are interested in participating in the second segment (paper development), please submit your work by email to both oschilke@arizona.edu and alex.bitektine@hec.ca no later than July 18, 2016. Note that you may of course participate in only one of the two segments if you wish.
