  • 1.  CARMA Summer Short Courses- Research Methods for Management and Organization Studies

    Posted 02-06-2008 13:04

    Dear Colleagues (with apologies for cross-postings, and please share with colleagues and students that might be interested):

    I am pleased to send you information about upcoming Summer Short Courses on management research methods topics being hosted in May of 2008 by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.  As you will see below, the topics of these twelve Short Courses include introductory and advanced structural equation methods, grounded theory methods, repeated measures/longitudinal methods, meta-analysis, multi-level methods, social network analysis, testing interactions with linear regression, survey design/data collection using the internet, introduction to linear regression, and alternatives to difference scores: polynomial regression and response surface methodology.

    CARMA is an interdisciplinary center with a management/organizational emphasis that is now celebrating its tenth year of operation.  Last summer, over 120 faculty and doctoral students from universities throughout the United States and abroad participated in one or more of our short course events.  CARMA also currently has 120 universities from throughout the world participating in our CARMA Consortium Webcast Program, which has hosted 31 lectures on research topics that have been delivered live and via recordings over the internet. More information about CARMA and the events below can be found at our website:
    (http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/carma/).

    Each of the short courses includes an equal balance of lecture and lab time with hands-on experience, with an emphasis on the application of the methodology.  We have a very talented set of instructors for our Short Courses, many of whom are Editors, Past Editors, or Editorial Board members from our leading management journals. They will help you not only learn the technical details of the research method or analysis technique you will be studying, but they will also help you understand how it is being applied in management and organizational research. You can find information about our Short Courses and a summary of evaluations from last year's program on the CARMA website:
    (http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/carma/SummerShortCourses.asp).

    The cost per course is $500 for students or $700 for faculty or professionals, and this cost includes lunches, a dinner, and all program materials.  There is also a 50% discount for faculty and students coming from schools participating in our Consortium Webcast Program (a list of participating schools is available on our website: (http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/carma/CurrentConsortiumMembers.asp).

    We are very excited that we will be hosting our Summer Short Courses in Snead Hall, our new School of Business Building that we have just moved into, and pictures are available on the School of Business website: (http://www.bus.vcu.edu/).  I am also very happy to report that our main 2008 CARMA Summer Short Course hotel will be the newly remodeled Double Tree Hotel, which is only one block from Snead Hall.  Reservation information is now available:  (http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/groups/personalized/RICFSDT-VMC-20080508/index.jhtml).  We also have other reasonably priced hotel accommodations available.  Snead Hall and the hotels are only 15 minutes from the Richmond Airport, which now provides direct connections to 24 major destination markets via over 200 daily flights.

    Let me encourage you to register early, as we are limiting the number of participants in each course, and based on past experience some may fill up quickly. The deadline for Advanced Registration is April 1 (after this date a late registration fee is added). The full schedule of Short Courses is:

    I am pleased to send you information about upcoming Summer Short Courses on management research methods topics being hosted in May of 2009 by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.  As you will see below, the topics of these thirteen Short Courses include introductory and advanced structural equation methods, meta-analysis, multi-level methods, social network analysis, survey design/data collection using the internet, and nonlinear dynamic models: neural network and agent based analysis.  We also will have three short courses focusing on regression, including an introduction to linear regression, testing interactions with linear regression, and alternatives to difference scores: polynomial regression and response surface methodology. Finally, we will also have three qualitative short courses, including grounded theory methods, ethnographic methods, and qualitative comparative analysis.

    CARMA is an interdisciplinary center with a management/organizational emphasis that is now celebrating its tenth year of operation.  Last summer, nearly 200 faculty and doctoral students from universities throughout the United States and abroad participated in one or more of our short course events.  CARMA also currently has 136 universities from throughout the world participating in our CARMA Consortium Webcast Program, which has hosted 43 lectures on research topics that have been delivered live and via recordings using the internet.
