We invite you to join our exciting PDW on Innovation Scholarship in Management and Science of Science.
Time: Saturday, Aug 5, 2023, 4:00PM - 6:30 PM ET (GMT-4)
Place: Boston Hynes Convention Center (203)
The advancement of science and technology is a core topic of interest to management scholars. The emergence of new data sources of scholarly inputs and outputs–including research funding, productivity, collaborations, citations, and mobility–as well as recent methodological advances, are creating unprecedented opportunities to broaden our understanding of the structure and evolution of science and innovation. Science of Science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that relies on big data to understand the conditions underlying creativity and scientific discovery for the purposes of accelerating innovation and breakthroughs. The workshop's main objective is to provide an introduction to Science of Science to management scholars, which will include an overview of the field from leading experts, who will present novel data sources, discuss state-of-the-art methodologies, review applications to research, and offer unique perspectives on agendas for future work, including opportunities for inclusive pathways to innovation. The workshop continues to provide a forum to foster a community of management scholars in Science of Science.

The PDW will follow a two-part format:
Part 1: Our panelists will share their insights on how key ideas from innovation, management, and science of science. This is open to everyone.
Part 2: Several roundtables will focus on different domains of research. Prospective participants will apply to the PDW by submitting a short summary of a research idea they are working on and want to discuss with the table facilitators and other participants.
To participate in the roundtable discussion please fill out this short registration form by July 24, 2023. This will help us assign participants to roundtables based on your research interests. We will confirm the registration to this PDW by late July.
Please feel free to reach out to organizers with any questions.
