Are you a junior faculty member or doctoral student looking to increase your research productivity? If so, you'll want to make plans to attend the following PDW at this year's AOM conference:
The Productivity Process: Research Tips and Strategies from Prolific Junior Faculty
Friday, August 5th
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Anaheim Convention Center in Room 204B
Sponsored by the OB Division
With regard to research, a major challenge facing junior faculty is learning how to be productive. This implies that research productivity is a process that can be improved through learning. The main goal of this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is to help develop an awareness of the processes used by prolific faculty. Although most PDW's use esteemed senior scholars as panelists, this PDW uses peer junior faculty members who have established track records of productivity. A unique feature of this PDW is the focus on work and research productivity as a process. That is, presenters will discuss their work habits and how they go about their work (e.g., time allocation, co-authorships, writing blocks, and strategies) as well as other "life" factors that influence their productivity (e.g., exercise, work/family balance). This session uses a number of formats including individual presentations, large group Q&A, and small group roundtables.
Presenters & Roundtable Facilitators w/Topics:
- Allison Gabriel, U. of Arizona; Mesearch: Using personal experiences for research inspiration
