Discussion: View Thread

Dear colleagues

I am designing a lab study where subjects will assume they are interacting with another person. However, the other person will be a computer. The subject will be expected to interact with the other team member via text messaging. I need to automate the responses generated by the computer. Are you aware of any (free) software or tool that can be used in the lab for automating a script. Thank you in advance.

*Call for Papers: **Echoes of an Era - A Century of Organisational Studies*

*Managing Editor:*
Wenzel Matiaske, Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg (Germany)

Hundred years ago, Henri Fayols "Administration Industrielle et Générale", a milestone in the history of organisational thought, was published. This centenary motivates the editors of the Management Revue to launch a stream on the history of organisational studies. In the forthcoming volumes, and rather on an infrequent basis, we would like to publish contributions which not only introduce the reader to one or several, interrelated seminal works of organisational theory, but also provide accompanying commentaries and an analysis of their history of effects.

The reason for this format is, given our discipline's forgetfulness of history, to provide orientation, which not only serves teaching and young management scholars. While reference to classic thought contributes to scientific advancement in other fields of the social sciences, in our field some research issues are being addressed repeatedly – without putting the associated arguments and findings in an adequate historical context. In this respect, addressing the history of thought should be understood as a contribution to the advancement of management research.

We would like to avoid a strict delimitation of the era being addressed.
Contributions on contemporaries of Fayol like Frederik Winston Taylor, Frank B. and Lillian Gilbreth or Henry L. Gantt und Karol Adamiecki are as welcome as contributions are on Fayol's predecessors or successors. By no means we are exclusively committed to the "engineers of the organisation"; economists, legal scholars and particularly the labour science community and psychologists should also be given due attention. A temporal upper boundary shall nevertheless be the 1970s, when, most notably induced by Alfred D. Chandler, strategic management and the reflection on it started to thrive.

This stream will be open to submissions until the end of 2017 in the first place. It will be maintained and edited by Wenzel Matiaske (Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg, Germany). Submissions shall accord with the formatting guidelines <http://www.mrev.nomos.de/guidelines/author/> of the management revue. Please submit your manuscripts electronically via our online submission system <http://www.mrev.nomos.de/guidelines/submit-manuscript/> using "Stream Echoes of an Era" as article section.

*Looking forward to your contribution!*
Wenzel Matiaske <matiaske@hsu-hh.de>

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to attend the 6th annual Workshop on Talent Management, to be held in Barcelona, Spain on October 2 and 3, 2017.  Following the five highly successful Workshops held in Brussels in 2012 and 2013, Berlin in 2014, Valencia in 2015, and Copenhagen in 2016, the 2017 Workshop is intended to continue providing a forum for academic debate on the rapidly growing field of talent management.  The Workshop has a strong developmental focus and as such encourages research which may be in progress as well as completed research.  Among our regular participants, chairs, guests, and keynote speakers are such renowned scholars as Paul Evans, Randall Schuler, Paul Sparrow, Susan Jackson, David Allen, Hugh Scullion, David Collings, Marion Festing, as well as many other outstanding scholars.

The call for papers can be found here: http://www.eiasm.org/frontoffice/event_announcement.asp?event_id=1249.  To present a paper at the workshop, authors should submit a (up to) 3-page abstract by June 30, 2017.  Please note, however, that there is no requirement to submit and present a paper - some of our attendees come just to listen, learn, comment, and participate in our lively discussions.

We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!

Subject: Fwd: Rubric to Grades

Dear Colleagues,

Hope all is well. I am looking for some guidance/best practices on calculate grades from the rubric. I will be having a term-paper assignment with 5-6 criteria (e.g. Background, Research question, methodology, implications, overall formatting). The grading system we follow is A+, A, A-, B+, B, B- etc..

I am struggling to devise a procedure, whereby, I can somehow quantify each of the criteria (background, method etc) easily to the above grade system.
This way I could add up or average out all criteria to get the final grade on the assignment.

I would greatly appreciate if people could explain/share ideas on how to go about this ?

Thank You.
Best regards,

Dr. M. Saud Khan

[Apologies for cross-posting]

AOM 2017 PDW
13621 (OMT/OB/BPS/RM)

USING SPORT DATA
TO ADVANCE MANAGEMENT THEORY

Saturday, August 5th 2017 4:15pm - 5:45pm Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atrium A602


Recommended registration at this link<https://cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1ZXnWdiTsYe03I1>;
(in case of overcrowding we'll prioritize registered attendants)


If you are considering working with sport data, you cannot miss this AOM's PDW that will bring together a selection of authors and editors who recently published in top journals by leveraging different sport data.

Our PDW will combine hands-on insights, state-of-the-art research presentations, senior and junior scholars' discussion, and participants' development of novel research proposals.

Our PDW will tackle the following questions:
•      What kinds of theories can be tested with sport data? Which sport settings are better suited for specific research questions and designs?
•      What existing theoretical problems could be tackled with sports data?
•      What are the typical challenges that scholars using sport data face during the publication process at top-tier management journals? How can scholars overcome them?
•      Where can scholars find and how can they obtain sport data for research purposes? What are appropriate methods for testing theories using sport data?



PANELISTS AND TOPICS
The panelists have been selected due to their specific and complementary expertise with using sport data in recent management publications. Despite sponsored by OMT scholars' work, representatives of strategy and OB streams will also intervene. The workshop will host one or more authors from each of the following papers (each paper is related to a different sport and theoretical perspective):

Subject: Re: Fwd: Rubric to Grades

Saud,

It sounds like a behaviorally-anchored rating scale (BARS) might be the answer. This will take some effort and thought on your part, but it will also help your grading and allow students to have a better feel for what your expectations are for the project.

So, for Background, your rating scale might look something like:

A+ (10 points) = paper offers an in-depth background analysis of the
problem; clearly defines the problem, the current state of affairs, etc.; explains why the topic is important, what the implications of the problem are for society, etc.; offers key statistics and/or references for assertions, etc. etc. etc.
A (9.5 points) = offers a solid analysis of the problem while defining key terms, etc, etc.
A- (9 points) = .....
...
F (5 points) = poor analysis of the problem; fails to define the problem; offers a random and unsystematic background of the issue; fails to give any statistics and/or citations for the problem

If you did this for all 10 dimensions, all you would need to do is sum up the points and assign grades.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Subject: Call for Submissions to the 2017 AOM PDW on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research"

***Apologies for cross-posting***

Dear Colleagues,
This is a friendly reminder that we are now accepting work-in-progress research projects for review and discussion at our PDW on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research", where the facilitators (see the list below) will provide you with in-depth feedback on your projects. Below is the detailed information about the workshop (http://my.aom.org/program2017/SessionDetails.aspx?sid=12339)
Cordially,
Alex Bitektine and Oliver Schilke


Call for Submissions to the 2017 AOM Professional Development Workshop (PDW) on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research"

The PDW is aimed at advancing experimental research on institutions and strategy by encouraging dialogue between theorists and experimentalists from different disciplinary backgrounds. Specifically, the workshop consists of two segments.

(1) The first segment starts with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars present their views on the following three key questions: What may experimental research contribute to the current knowledge of institutional and strategic processes in organizations? What are some of the key challenges involved in applying experiments to investigate these topics? What are relevant experimental paradigms and measures? The discussion will then be broadened to address other questions brought up by the audience.
Directly after the panel discussion, the PDW features a showcase research presentation titled "Ideology and the microfoundations of CSR: why executives believe in the business case for CSR and how this affects their CSR engagements" by Sebastian Hafenbrädl and Daniel Waeger. The presentation showcases one possible approach to explore institutions in the laboratory.

(2) After a short break, the second segment of the program consists of a paper development workshop. Here, the facilitators provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress research submitted in advance by workshop participants. Similar papers will be clustered together (based on topic) and will be discussed in small groups. Papers should be related to the workshop theme and can be in various developmental stages; both proposals and full manuscripts will be considered.

If you are interested in participating in the second segment (paper development), please submit your work by email to both oschilke@arizona.edu and alex.bitektine@hec.ca no later than July 18, 2017. Note that you may, of course, participate in only one of the two segments if you wish.

Scheduled:

Friday, Aug 4 2017 2:15PM - 5:15PM
at Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Marquis M101.

Organizers:
Alex Bitektine, HEC Montreal
Oliver Schilke, University of Arizona

 *** Apologies for any cross-postings ***

*Call for Papers: **Echoes of an Era - A Century of Organisational Studies*

*Managing Editor:*
Wenzel Matiaske, Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg (Germany)

Hundred years ago, Henri Fayols "Administration Industrielle et Générale", a milestone in the history of organisational thought, was published. This centenary motivates the editors of the Management Revue to launch a stream on the history of organisational studies. In the forthcoming volumes, and rather on an infrequent basis, we would like to publish contributions which not only introduce the reader to one or several, interrelated seminal works of organisational theory, but also provide accompanying commentaries and an analysis of their history of effects.

The reason for this format is, given our discipline's forgetfulness of history, to provide orientation, which not only serves teaching and young management scholars. While reference to classic thought contributes to scientific advancement in other fields of the social sciences, in our field some research issues are being addressed repeatedly – without putting the associated arguments and findings in an adequate historical context. In this respect, addressing the history of thought should be understood as a contribution to the advancement of management research.

We would like to avoid a strict delimitation of the era being addressed.
Contributions on contemporaries of Fayol like Frederik Winston Taylor, Frank B. and Lillian Gilbreth or Henry L. Gantt und Karol Adamiecki are as welcome as contributions are on Fayol's predecessors or successors. By no means we are exclusively committed to the "engineers of the organisation"; economists, legal scholars and particularly the labour science community and psychologists should also be given due attention. A temporal upper boundary shall nevertheless be the 1970s, when, most notably induced by Alfred D. Chandler, strategic management and the reflection on it started to thrive.

This stream will be open to submissions until the end of 2017 in the first place. It will be maintained and edited by Wenzel Matiaske (Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg, Germany). Submissions shall accord with the formatting guidelines <http://www.mrev.nomos.de/guidelines/author/> of the management revue. Please submit your manuscripts electronically via our online submission system <http://www.mrev.nomos.de/guidelines/submit-manuscript/> using "Stream Echoes of an Era" as article section.

*Looking forward to your contribution!*

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to attend the 6th annual Workshop on Talent Management, to be held in Barcelona, Spain on October 2 and 3, 2017.  Following the five highly successful Workshops held in Brussels in 2012 and 2013, Berlin in 2014, Valencia in 2015, and Copenhagen in 2016, the 2017 Workshop is intended to continue providing a forum for academic debate on the rapidly growing field of talent management.  The Workshop has a strong developmental focus and as such encourages research which may be in progress as well as completed research.  Among our regular participants, chairs, guests, and keynote speakers are such renowned scholars as Paul Evans, Randall Schuler, Paul Sparrow, Susan Jackson, David Allen, Hugh Scullion, David Collings, Marion Festing, as well as many other outstanding scholars.

The call for papers can be found here: http://www.eiasm.org/frontoffice/event_announcement.asp?event_id=1249.  To present a paper at the workshop, authors should submit a (up to) 3-page abstract by June 30, 2017.  Please note, however, that there is no requirement to submit and present a paper - some of our attendees come just to listen, learn, comment, and participate in our lively discussions.

We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!

Subject: Fwd: Rubric to Grades

Dear Colleagues,

Hope all is well. I am looking for some guidance/best practices on calculate grades from the rubric. I will be having a term-paper assignment with 5-6 criteria (e.g. Background, Research question, methodology, implications, overall formatting). The grading system we follow is A+, A, A-, B+, B, B- etc..

I am struggling to devise a procedure, whereby, I can somehow quantify each of the criteria (background, method etc) easily to the above grade system.
This way I could add up or average out all criteria to get the final grade on the assignment.

I would greatly appreciate if people could explain/share ideas on how to go about this ?

Thank You.
Best regards,

Dr. M. Saud Khan

[Apologies for cross-posting]

AOM 2017 PDW
13621 (OMT/OB/BPS/RM)

USING SPORT DATA
TO ADVANCE MANAGEMENT THEORY

Saturday, August 5th 2017 4:15pm - 5:45pm Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atrium A602


Recommended registration at this link<https://cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1ZXnWdiTsYe03I1>;
(in case of overcrowding we'll prioritize registered attendants)


If you are considering working with sport data, you cannot miss this AOM's PDW that will bring together a selection of authors and editors who recently published in top journals by leveraging different sport data.

Our PDW will combine hands-on insights, state-of-the-art research presentations, senior and junior scholars' discussion, and participants' development of novel research proposals.

Our PDW will tackle the following questions:
•      What kinds of theories can be tested with sport data? Which sport settings are better suited for specific research questions and designs?
•      What existing theoretical problems could be tackled with sports data?
•      What are the typical challenges that scholars using sport data face during the publication process at top-tier management journals? How can scholars overcome them?
•      Where can scholars find and how can they obtain sport data for research purposes? What are appropriate methods for testing theories using sport data?



PANELISTS AND TOPICS
The panelists have been selected due to their specific and complementary expertise with using sport data in recent management publications. Despite sponsored by OMT scholars' work, representatives of strategy and OB streams will also intervene. The workshop will host one or more authors from each of the following papers (each paper is related to a different sport and theoretical perspective):

Subject: Re: Fwd: Rubric to Grades

Saud,

It sounds like a behaviorally-anchored rating scale (BARS) might be the answer. This will take some effort and thought on your part, but it will also help your grading and allow students to have a better feel for what your expectations are for the project.

So, for Background, your rating scale might look something like:

A+ (10 points) = paper offers an in-depth background analysis of the
problem; clearly defines the problem, the current state of affairs, etc.; explains why the topic is important, what the implications of the problem are for society, etc.; offers key statistics and/or references for assertions, etc. etc. etc.
A (9.5 points) = offers a solid analysis of the problem while defining key terms, etc, etc.
A- (9 points) = .....
...
F (5 points) = poor analysis of the problem; fails to define the problem; offers a random and unsystematic background of the issue; fails to give any statistics and/or citations for the problem

If you did this for all 10 dimensions, all you would need to do is sum up the points and assign grades.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Subject: Call for Submissions to the 2017 AOM PDW on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research"

***Apologies for cross-posting***

Dear Colleagues,
This is a friendly reminder that we are now accepting work-in-progress research projects for review and discussion at our PDW on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research", where the facilitators (see the list below) will provide you with in-depth feedback on your projects. Below is the detailed information about the workshop (http://my.aom.org/program2017/SessionDetails.aspx?sid=12339)
Cordially,
Alex Bitektine and Oliver Schilke


Call for Submissions to the 2017 AOM Professional Development Workshop (PDW) on "Experiments in Institutional Theory and Strategy Research"

The PDW is aimed at advancing experimental research on institutions and strategy by encouraging dialogue between theorists and experimentalists from different disciplinary backgrounds. Specifically, the workshop consists of two segments.

(1) The first segment starts with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars present their views on the following three key questions: What may experimental research contribute to the current knowledge of institutional and strategic processes in organizations? What are some of the key challenges involved in applying experiments to investigate these topics? What are relevant experimental paradigms and measures? The discussion will then be broadened to address other questions brought up by the audience.
Directly after the panel discussion, the PDW features a showcase research presentation titled "Ideology and the microfoundations of CSR: why executives believe in the business case for CSR and how this affects their CSR engagements" by Sebastian Hafenbrädl and Daniel Waeger. The presentation showcases one possible approach to explore institutions in the laboratory.

(2) After a short break, the second segment of the program consists of a paper development workshop. Here, the facilitators provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress research submitted in advance by workshop participants. Similar papers will be clustered together (based on topic) and will be discussed in small groups. Papers should be related to the workshop theme and can be in various developmental stages; both proposals and full manuscripts will be considered.

If you are interested in participating in the second segment (paper development), please submit your work by email to both oschilke@arizona.edu and alex.bitektine@hec.ca no later than July 18, 2017. Note that you may, of course, participate in only one of the two segments if you wish.

Scheduled:

Friday, Aug 4 2017 2:15PM - 5:15PM
at Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Marquis M101.

Organizers:
Alex Bitektine, HEC Montreal
Oliver Schilke, University of Arizona
