Connect & Collaborate at AoM 2017! (with apologies for cross posting)
Are you trying to finish a research project but need additional data?
Do you have unfinished papers in your drawer that just need some new blood?
Do you have an idea for a new project and looking for like-minded collaborators to help you bring it to life?
Would you like to broaden the scope of your paper by including multi-country data?
Do you have opportunities to collect data but no time for other parts of a project?
Then Connect and Collaborate might be just the thing you have been looking for!
Many of us have projects that have stalled and could use some new blood. The goal of this project is to get people together so that they may leverage complementary resources and the "spare parts" in these projects to build new research relationships that can help complete the projects. We, the organizers, will help match participants based on needs and resources for the purpose of collaboration and project completion!
For example, people could support each other through (but not exclusive to) discussing multiple perspectives, bringing in additional studies, using different analytical approaches, making plans for collecting more data, or testing specific follow-up questions or mechanisms. There is no one way to do this; we simply want to connect people with complementary needs and resources. All are welcome. We especially invite scholars from our international community to help bring in fresh perspectives and insights. Join us in, what we hope, the first of many Connect and Collaborate meetings to come!
This is a grassroots movement started by a few of us in the CM division, but we hope to use this to connect across divisions as well as within. The project is being developed as a parallel activity that will take place informally within the 2017 AOM conference timeframe. As such, we will finalize the logistics of the session based on the participants.
To join, we need to know what you have and what you need in terms of project interests, resources, time horizon, and so forth. So please tell us:
- Your topical interests (keywords, domain, questions)
- Your data resources if applicable (e.g., collected data, organizational sites, subject pools etc.)
- Your conceptual resources (e.g., half-written papers and the like)
- Your needs and interests (e.g., do you want to join a project, do you need a methodologist or a theorist, etc.)
We will try to organize and align these so that in the session you can meet researchers with similar interests and complementary needs and resources. In other words, Connect and Collaborate!
