This workshop introduces management researchers to the opportunities of Bayesian statistics for empirical management research and provides guidance on how to execute high-quality Bayesian studies. A secondary objective is to develop a platform for knowledge transfer between researchers engaged in Bayesian research. 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 and 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. This workshop also intends to support community-building efforts among Bayesian researchers. For this purpose, we have already created an internet platform to distribute presentation material, provide links to additional helpful publications and other sources (https://sites.google.com/site/bayesianresearch/). In the end, this workshop will enable and inform participants on how to better incorporate advanced Bayesian statistics in their future research.
