Improving Management Research Best Practices Certificate
The pressure to publish in top-tier journals is now a global phenomenon. Universities all around the world allocate important rewards and resources based on faculty members’ publication records. At the same time, there is growing pressure for researchers to publish research that is not only rigorous but also relevant. Also, in addition to the increased competition to publish rigorous and relevant research in a more and more selective and shortlist of journals, the fast pace of methodological advancements means that research tools that were popular just a few years ago are quickly becoming obsolete—and new ones emerge on an ongoing basis. Taken together, these trends result in an urgent need for researchers in management, entrepreneurship, and related fields to update their methodological toolkit on an ongoing basis.
The purpose of this certificate is to describe an assortment of novel methodological techniques, provide updates on others that are more familiar, and address specific methodological questions posed by workshop participants. The workshop will first include an overview of important methodological issues and then participants will have an opportunity to ask questions about specific methodological challenges they are facing, or anticipate facing, in their own research. Depending on the specific areas of interest of workshop participants, the following is a non-exhaustive list of topics to be covered:
- Data collection and preparation
- Statistical and practical significance
- Transparency and replicability in quantitative and qualitative research
- Trends in methodological topics
- Minimizing questionable research practices
- Meta-regression
- Meta-analytic structural equation modeling
- Multilevel modeling
- Computer-aided text analysis
- Moderation
- Mediation
- Control variables
- Outliers
