The Research Methods Initiative is pleased to offer two Professional Development Workshops as part of the pre-conference program for the Strategic Management Society (SMS) Annual International Conference and both are open to all conference registrants.
The first, The Application of Network Analysis in Strategic Management Research, will be held from 9:00 to 12:00. In keeping with the Strategies in a World of Networks theme of the Annual International Conference in Madrid, this workshop includes a 2-hour tutorial on network analysis followed by a one hour discussion of network analysis in strategic management. The participants will discuss their experiences with network analysis. Topics include research design, measurement and analysis. The leaders will provide suggestions for strategy researchers interested in using network analysis. Participants include Margaret White (Oklahoma State), Balaji Koka (Rice), Matt Bowler (Oklahoma State) and Marco Tortoriello (IESE). Please see:

No prior registration is required. Margaret White will be the chair of the session and can be contacted at margaret.white@okstate.edu with any questions.
The second, How do I do...? will be held from 13:00 to 15:00. Eight methodological experts will help take the mystery out of some confusing methodological approaches and provide insights into how strategy researchers can successfully implement their studies. The session will involve a roundtable format, where an expert will host a table and SMS members can join whichever table interests them. Each expert will start the session by providing an introductory level overview of their approach and then will answers questions and lead a general discussion.
The experts and the topics they will discuss include: Herman Aguinis (Indiana), improving research quality prior to data collection; Anne Huff (National University of Ireland – Maynooth), qualitative analysis; Harry Bowen (Queens), regression analysis of discrete dependent variables; Jose Molina-Azorin (Alicante), mixed methods analysis; Jeff Edwards (North Carolina), moderation analysis; Andreas Schwab (Iowa State), statistical significance reporting; Pursey Heugens (Erasmus – Rotterdam), meta-analysis and multivariate applications, and Larry Williams (North Dakota), structural equations modeling.
No prior registration is required. Don Bergh (Denver) will be the chair of the session and can be contacted at dbergh@du.edu with any questions. Please see:
