The International Management Division will hold a PDW on "Strategies for collecting data in international settings" at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename> in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:city></st1:place>. It will be held on the 13th of August from 10 am to 12 pm at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis hotel.
The primary objectives of the PDW are to reflect on the importance of collecting data globally, to recognize the challenges researchers encounter in collecting international data, and how they resolve the issues and collect meaningful data across different countries. In order to reflect on these themes, we bring together a panel of researchers who have significant experience in international data collection. It provides an excellent opportunity for the participants to share their experiences in international data collection and expand their academic network.
In the first part of the PDW, the designated speakers will address the themes of the session and reflect on their experiences in collecting international data. A significant portion of the PDW will be devoted to group activities where the participants will assemble in groups of eight along with at least one presenter with each group. The goal here is to allow a fruitful discussion with each other by participants who are facing challenges in their overseas data collection process or plan to collect international data in future and want more information about it. The presenters will act as moderators and advisors. Finally, one person from each table will be asked to provide the highlights of their discussions.
Interested participants who are keen on sharing and learning the experiences and challenges of international data collection are requested to send their current CV and a brief statement about how this PDW will help their research efforts to Mahendra Joshi, Sam M. <st1:placename w:st="on">Walton</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">College</st1:placetype> of Business, <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Arkansas</st1:placename>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Fayetteville</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">AR</st1:state> <st1:postalcode w:st="on">72701</st1:postalcode></st1:place>.
