?What is quality in strategy research??
Academy of Management Meetings Montreal, Canada
Saturday, August 7th
Part 1 (open to all): 1:30pm-3pm
Part 2 (requires pre-registration: FULL): 3pm-6pm
Le Palais Des Congres, 516A
Sponsored by the BPS Division
The strategy field encompasses a diverse set of research perspectives and
topic areas. This diversity is a strength of the field, but it also poses a
challenge to scholars in strategy: It is often unclear how various
literatures relate and why certain papers are considered exemplars of high-
quality strategy research. The article, ?Recognizing and Encouraging High
Quality Research in Strategy,? currently under review, puts forth a
framework for thinking about and evaluating the quality of strategy
research. Motivated by this call to action, this PDW has three central
goals: (1) to consider the question of what is quality in strategy research;
(2) apply the framework to current working papers as a means to provide
feedback on junior faculty work; and (3) critique and refine this framework.
This two-part, highly interactive PDW will bring together a group of junior
faculty and doctoral students with mid-career and senior strategy scholars
to both discuss and apply quality benchmarks. The first part of the PDW will
begin with a panel involving senior scholars in strategy to discuss and
debate the question of what is quality in strategy research and the value of
quality ?metrics? in evaluating research. (This panel is open to all Academy
attendees and requires no pre-registration. Confirmed panelists include
Witold Henisz, Anita McGahan, Hayagreeva Rao, and Jan Rivkin.) Following the
panel, registered participants will meet in ?roundtable? format to apply the
framework to their respective working papers.
