Saturday, Aug. 10, 2013; 4-8 pm, WDW Coronado Springs Resort, Fiesta 6
Pre-registration & Case Submission by July 1, 2013
This PDW is for case based researchers interested in developing their skills in a supportive community of peers and mentors. The PDW has a two-part format. The first part has presentations by experts on advanced topics in case-research. Some topics of presentation are: Towards rigorous case study research: What and how? What makes a good case? Different modes of theorizing with cases; Case studies in the new media age. The second part, open to those who submit a case manuscript, will have small group round table discussions amongst the authors, facilitated by mentors. Everyone who is prepared to do the required pre-work and make the session productive is welcome.
All participants must pre-register and commit to read and review 2 or 3 cases. If you have a case-study draft or an idea, please submit your manuscript (instructions below) and expect to get informal peer reviews and theory development advice at the PDW. The small group format allows for individual attention appropriate for your skill level and case-submission or reviewing experience.
To get the best peer feedback on your case, include an instructor's manual, and a summary statement describing potential areas for theory development, including: a) your discipline and intended theory; b) key research questions & what theory (ies) are being challenged or extended; and c) related literature review. By submission authors also commit to reviewing three other manuscripts for their round table, before attending the workshop.
