Dear Colleagues,
This is a reminder about our PDW "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research" (Friday, Aug 7, 2015, 3:15PM - 5:45PM at Vancouver Convention Centre in Room 208). Even if you are not doing any experimental research now, but are curious to learn more about it and probably do it in the future, you are very welcome to join us.
The PDW is aimed at advancing experimental research on institutions and strategy by encouraging dialog between theorists and experimentalists from different disciplinary backgrounds. Specifically, the workshop consists of two segments.
(1) The first segment starts with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars present their views on the following three key questions: What may experimental research contribute to the current knowledge of institutional and strategic processes in organizations? What are some of the key challenges involved in applying experiments to investigate these topics? What are relevant experimental paradigms and measures? The discussion will then be broadened to address other questions brought up by the audience.
Directly after the panel discussion, the PDW features a showcase research presentation titled "Micro-Institutionalization, Macro-Outcomes: The Case of Price Bubbles in Financial Markets" by Sheen S. Levine. The presentation offers a window into one possible approach to experimental institutional inquiry.
(2) After a short break, the second segment of the program consists of a paper development workshop. Here, the facilitators provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress research submitted in advance by workshop participants
