Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to send you information about our upcoming 2012 Summer Short Course Program on management and organizational research methods topics being hosted May 11-19 by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) at Wayne State University. For more information about CARMA and these short courses, visit the CARMA Website

http://carma.wayne.edu/Messenger/jan2012.htm
As you will see below, the topics of these 16 Short Courses address a wide range of methodological issues. Each short course will last two and a half days. They include an equal balance of lecture and hands-on experience with an emphasis on the application of the method. We have a very talented set of instructors for our Short Courses who 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. Our instructors include several former editors and current editorial board members of top management journals.
