Call for Participants – AOM 2025 PDW on Computational Theory Construction

  • 1.  Call for Participants – AOM 2025 PDW on Computational Theory Construction

    Posted 28 days ago
    The upcoming Computational Theory Construction (Expanding and Extending the Community for Computational Theory Construction) Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is scheduled to take place as part of the AOM Annual Meeting. This PDW aims to provide valuable insights and guidance to researchers already using or planning to use computational methods by combining them with manual qualitative approaches known from grounded theory and case study research methods to construct theory.
     
    The PDW consists of two parts. Part I – keynotes and panel discussions are open to all AOM registrants. Part II – Roundtable discussions are only for participants who would like to receive feedback on their ongoing or planned projects and have been accepted to attend the roundtables.
     
    If you are interested in receiving feedback on your ongoing work from our expert scholars and if you have not yet submitted your application, we kindly remind you that the deadline for Part II: Roundtables is fast approaching.
     
    To be considered for Part II: Roundtables, please ensure your application reaches us on or before June 30, 2025 (Eastern Time). Please send a max 2-page abstract in PDF format covering the following aspects to ctcpdw21@gmail.com.
     
    • Brief introduction of the research project
    • How have you combined computational and manual analysis techniques in your research?
    • What struggles have you faced in understanding, using, or considering using computational methods in your theory development work?
    • Those who have not conducted any such research, but are planning to do so, can submit short descriptions of your intended work, also focusing on your planned combination of manual and computational techniques or related questions.
