Date: Saturday, August 4, 2012
Time: 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Location: Boston Hynes Convention Center, Room 108
Organizers: Valerie Duplat (EDHEC Business School) and Jason Pattit
(University of St. Thomas)
Presenters: Valerie Duplat (EDHEC Business School), Fabrice Lumineau
(University of Technology Sydney), and Bart Vanneste (INSEAD)
Facilitators: Michael J. Leiblein (The Ohio State University), Jason
Pattit (University of St. Thomas), and Libby Weber (University of
California, Irvine)
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for scholars who study
inter-firm contracts to engage in a dialogue about current and future
research opportunities. In addition, scholars who are not currently
conducting research in this area, but have an interest in doing so in the
future, are invited to attend this PDW to obtain an overview of the field
and to join the discussion.
The workshop will consist of two parts. Three short presentations about
contractual issues that have been addressed by different theoretical
streams (i.e., transaction cost, relational governance, and psychological
theories) will open the PDW. Each presentation will be followed by a
discussion between the audience and the presenters lead by a facilitator.
This will enable us to explore how these theoretical streams overlap or
complement each other, but also to derive new research questions and
discuss novel empirical methods.
The second part of the PDW will be a paper development workshop. To
participate, please pre-register (https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg) and
submit your paper by Sunday, July 15th. A maximum of 30 submissions will
be accepted. The papers will be discussed in small groups. Each
participant will provide a brief synopsis of their submission to the
roundtable that they are assigned to and then receive feedback from the
presenters, facilitators and the other participants. Papers will be shared
among the respective tables’ participants before the PDW. Attendees
without a submission will be invited to stay and take part in the
discussions.
Overall, the aim of this PDW is to create a network of seasoned and
nascent scholars interested in inter-firm contracts. Thus, this PDW
provides a forum to communicate with researchers from diverse theoretical
backgrounds, which may lead to interesting future collaboration
opportunities.
Please put this session on your calendar. For any general questions about
the PDW, or to receive the registration code and submit your paper, please
