  • 1.  REMINDER – PDW “A variety of theoretical approaches to address contractual issues: complementarities and ove rlaps”

    Posted 07-06-2012 16:41
    Date:  Saturday, August 4, 2012
    Time:  1:00 - 3:00 PM
    Location:  Boston Hynes Convention Center, Room 108
    Organizers: Valerie Duplat (EDHEC Business School) and Jason Pattit (University of St. Thomas)
     
    Presenters: Valerie Duplat (EDHEC Business School), Fabrice Lumineau (University of Technology Sydney), and Bart Vanneste (INSEAD)
     
    Facilitators: Michael J. Leiblein (The Ohio State University), Jason Pattit (University of St. Thomas), and Libby Weber (University of California, Irvine)
     
    The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for scholars who study inter-firm contracts to engage in a dialogue about current and future research opportunities. In addition, scholars who are not currently conducting research in this area, but have an interest in doing so in the future, are invited to attend this PDW to obtain an overview of the field and to join the discussion.
     
    The workshop will consist of two parts. Three short presentations about contractual issues that have been addressed by different theoretical streams (i.e., transaction cost, relational governance, and psychological theories) will open the PDW. Each presentation will be followed by a discussion between the audience and the presenters lead by a facilitator. This will enable us to explore how these theoretical streams overlap or complement each other, but also to derive new research questions and discuss novel empirical methods.
     
    The second part of the PDW will be a paper development workshop. To participate, please pre-register (https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg) and submit your paper by Sunday, July 15th. A maximum of 30 submissions will be accepted. The papers will be discussed in small groups. Each participant will provide a brief synopsis of their submission to the roundtable that they are assigned to and then receive feedback from the presenters, facilitators and the other participants. Papers will be shared among the respective tables' participants before the PDW. Attendees without a submission will be invited to stay and take part in the discussions.
     
    Overall, the aim of this PDW is to create a network of seasoned and nascent scholars interested in inter-firm contracts. Thus, this PDW provides a forum to communicate with researchers from diverse theoretical backgrounds, which may lead to interesting future collaboration opportunities.
     
    Please put this session on your calendar. For any general questions about the PDW, or to receive the registration code and submit your paper, please contact us: valerie.duplat@edhec.edu or jmpattit@stthomas.edu.
     
    See you in Boston!
