    Location: Wellesley, Marriott
    If you are:
    a.) engaged in (or interested in) conducting research with historical data, and
    b.) doing theory-building rather than hypothesis-testing work, and
    c.) hoping to publish your work in top management journals
    then this is the PDW for you!
    Now in its third year, this PDW brings together a distinguished panel of scholars to stimulate an interactive and developmental exchange on conducting inductive research using historical data. Our core focus will be on the theory-building / theoretical contribution part of the research process---how do we understand the past to inform the present? How do we move from the setting being studied to higher-level conceptualizations, while maintaining a balance between generalization and contextualization? Our aim will be to focus on these questions from a practical standpoint, taking away useful advice that scholars can adopt in their research practices.
    Our presenter roundtables are now full, but we are looking forward to having you join us for the first hour of the PDW. Subject to space constraints, those choosing to stay on for the second hour will also be able to sit in on different roundtables as audience members.
    For more details, you'll find us on the AOM schedule, and you can also reach out to Rohin Borpujari (rborpujari@london.edu) or Chelsea Lei (leicd@bc.edu).
