Marriott Chicago Downtown - Magnificent Mile
(Recommended registration at this link;
in case of overcrowding we'll prioritize registered attendants)
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?
