Are you experimented?

If not, please join us for our PDW on conducting experiments for advancing entrepreneurship research (co-sponsored by the RM and TIM divisions).

If so, please join us and share your knowledge!

Date: Saturday, August 5

Time: 9:45 – 11:15am

Location: Hilton Atlanta, Crystal Ballroom B and E

Details:

This 1-1/2-hour workshop follows on last year's successful PDW on "Publishing entrepreneurship research using experimental methods," yet focuses more directly on some of the best practices for designing and conducting experiments that can advance entrepreneurship research. As such, the PDW fosters the actual use of experimental methods by entrepreneurship, innovation and managerial sciences scholars, with a hands-on workshop where participants discuss how to address the challenges they face with experts who have published experiments in entrepreneurship. The workshop begins with a series of expert-led roundtables focusing on different types of experimental manipulations, their nature, characteristics, advantages and limitations. The workshop continues with another series of roundtables discussing strategies for addressing a host of operationalization challenges ranging from establishing the validity of one's studies to the articulation of particular research designs, the choice of sampling frames and control variables and the mobilization of different analytical techniques. The workshop concludes with an exchange among participants and organizers drawing attention to some key learning points.

Schedule:

Part I: Introduction (5 minutes)

Dave Williams, University of Tennessee

Part II: Roundtables: Experimental Manipulations (30 minutes)

Part II enables participants to attend two roundtables of 15 minutes each. This first set of roundtables focuses on the nature of different types of manipulations (what is being manipulated, how, why, etc.).
