The RM, OB, OMT, STR, MOC, and ENT Divisions will sponsor the following event during the 2025 AOM Conference:
Bayesian Statistics:
How to Conduct and Publish High-Quality Bayesian Studies
PDW Workshop
Saturday, July 26, 2025
12:00 - 14:00 CEST (GMT+2)
Bella Center: MR173
Presenter: David Krackhardt, Carnegie Mellon U.
Presenter: Andreas Schwab, Iowa State U.
Presenter: Mark H. Hansen, Brigham Young U.
Presenter: Jeffrey Dotson, Ohio State U.
This workshop introduces the opportunities of Bayesian statistics for empirical management research and provides guidance on how to execute high-quality Bayesian studies. The workshop will cover the following topics: (1) fundamental conceptual nature and potential advantages of Bayesian approaches compared to statistical significance tests; (2) Step-by-step execution of a Bayesian study and comparison to a regression analysis; (3) How to develop meaningful prior distributions; (4) Execution of Bayesian analyses: Markov-Chain Monte Carlo Simulations using available software solutions; (5) How to communicate Bayesian analyses and results in research manuscripts and (6) How management scholars can support the more extensive use of Bayesian statistics in the field of management research. A secondary objective of this workshop is to provide a platform for knowledge transfer between researchers engaged in Bayesian research and support related community-building efforts. In the end, this workshop will enable and inform participants on how to better incorporate advanced Bayesian statistics in their future research. This workshop also intends to support community-building efforts among Bayesian researchers. No registration is required.
