    Dear colleagues,
    Do you run experiments as a part of your research? Or do you want to learn more to get started? If yes, we invite you to join us for the AoM Panel Symposium "How to Experiment: Lessons from Psychology" (session 1804). 
    Our outstanding invited panelists include Olenka Kacperczyk (London Business School), Rajshree Agarwal (University of Maryland), Karim Lakhani (Harvard Business School), Dana Kanze (London Business School), Isabelle Solal (ESSEC Business School) and Stefan Dimitriadis (University of Toronto).
    This symposium proposes that experiments have the potential to be used more effectively in strategy and entrepreneurship research if they leverage methodological innovations from other disciplines that have a longer tradition of using experiments. The symposium combines the perspectives of leading experts on experiments in psychology captured on video with a live debate and commentary with management scholars with deep expertise in experiments. The management scholars participating in the live debate will 'translate' best practices from psychology, and discuss to what extent and how they can be applied to research in strategy and entrepreneurship by putting them in the context of their own work. Presenters will outline specific opportunities to advance the theory, techniques, and variety of topics that methodologically advanced experiments can address and provide actionable insights for researchers at all stages of their careers. This symposium builds on the success of the symposium held during the Academy of Management 2022 that focused on insights from economics and saw participation from over 100 scholars (both in person and over Zoom). 
    Join us on Tuesday, August 08 at 10 am in Boston Hynes Convention Center (room 110)!
    Naja Pape (INSEAD), Jackie Lane (Harvard Business School) & Chiara Spina (INSEAD)
