Discussion: View Thread

Please join us on Saturday, August 6 from 4:15 to 7:15pm at the Hilton Anaheim, Palisades Room for a PDW titled:

Publishing Entrepreneurship Research Using Experimental Methods: Best Practices and Advice

This PDW is sponsored by the ENT, RM, BPS, and TIM divisions.

The PDW will be structured into three (3) hour-long segments.

In the first hour, researchers will address key issues with respect the design and implementation of experiments.

In the second hour, researchers and editors will discuss pathways to publishing experimental research.

In the third hour, participants and panelists will interact through a question and answer moderated session, and by crowdsourcing solutions to difficult challenges faced when publishing experimental research.

Registration is not required.

Feel free to contact the organizers Dave Williams (dww@utk.edu), Matt Wood (MS_Wood@baylor.edu), or Denis Grégoire (denis.gregoire@hec.ca) with any questions.

If you have specific questions you want addressed / answered in the PDW, please send these to Dave Williams (dww@utk.edu).

Additional details are below.
