They are current or past editors of leading organizational journals.

    COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

    Session 1: Introduction to Multilevel Analysis with Paul Bliese: 
    • The CARMA Multilevel Analysis short course provides both (1) the theoretical foundation, and (2) the resources and skills necessary to conduct a wide range of multilevel analyses. The course covers within-group agreement, nested 2-level multilevel modeling and growth modeling. All practical exercises are conducted in R. Participants are encouraged to bring datasets to the course and apply the principles to their specific areas of research. 

    Session 2: Alternatives to Difference Scores: Polynomial Regression & Response Surface Methods with Jeff Edwards:
    • For decades, difference scores have been used in studies of fit, similarity, and agreement in organizational research. Despite their widespread use, difference scores have numerous methodological problems. This short course will review problems with difference scores, introduce polynomial regression and response surface methodology, and illustrate the application of these methods using empirical examples. Specific topics to be addressed include: (a) types of difference scores; (b) questions that difference scores are intended to address; (c) problems with difference scores; (d) polynomial regression as an alternative to difference scores; (e) testing constraints imposed by difference scores; (f) analyzing quadratic regression equations using response surface methodology; (g) difference scores as dependent variables; and (h) answers to frequently asked questions.
       
    CARMA LAPTOP AND SOFTWARE POLICY
    Attendees must bring their own laptops. We switched to this approach after research with over 200 attendees indicated they were able and willing to bring their own laptops for this purpose. Our experience with this approach has been very favorable. Thus, we now officially ask ALL Short Course participants to bring a laptop (their own or one from their university) for their use while in our Short Course Program.

    We hope you will find our Short Course offerings to be of interest and we would be very happy to have you participate in our instructional program at the University of Lausanne.  Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can help in any way.  Hope to see you in January!

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Larry J. Williams
