Happy New Year!
For those interested in submitting short papers to the 39th EGOS Colloquium in Calgary, we wanted to draw your attention to Sub-theme 26: Computational Approaches to Culture and Creativity: Advancing Theories of Organizations and Markets. Mathew Yeaton, Monika Kackovic and I are the co-conveners for this track. This sub-theme welcomes all researchers with interest in studying culture and creativity in organizations and markets using computational methods (including but not limited to supervised and unsupervised ML methods for unstructured texts, images, sound).
In this sub-theme, we encourage the use of empirical observation and measurements to understand the role of influence relations on social phenomena (e.g., culture, creativity, innovation, novelty, performance, etc). Our focus, however, is not on simply identifying patterns in the data. Rather, we are interested in using existing or uncovering new explanatory concepts – which may be directly observable or inferred from the measured data- to better understand the complex flow of information, ideas, and practices in creative and knowledge-based industries. As detailed in our sub-theme site, we are interested in the many diverse aspects of culture and creativity. While we appreciate the value of projects that focus on data mining or other exploratory data analysis, this sub-theme is focused on work that advances theory. We welcome methodologically diverse and theoretically-grounded submissions.
The submission deadline is January 10th, 23:59:59 CET. The short-paper should be ≤ 3000 words. Further submission guidelines can be found here. Please feel free to share this message with other scholars whose work might fit with this sub-theme. We look forward receiving your submissions.
Best,
Mathew, Monika & Mitali
