Why We All Should Be Bayesians!

We argue for a new direction in research analysis. The argument is that most of the inferential statistical procedures management scholars use are not addressing the question of interest to researchers. We demonstrate how Bayesian analysis can answer these questions appropriately. We also address the question why Bayesian statistics has been largely ignored in the community of scholars represented by the Academy of Management. Time is left at the end of the talks for open discussion with members of the audience.
