Paper Feedback Session

This session is designed for people who are developing qualitative research and who would benefit from feedback on their working papers. This working paper feedback session follows the panel session of the Power or Richness PDW (OMT PDW 10079). Participants interested in submitting a working paper for feedback in the working paper discussion groups need to submit their papers (more than 10 and less than 35 pages) via website we have created for this.  Working papers will be accepted for evaluation and feedback in this part of the workshop on a first-come, first-served basis until we fill all the slots we can make available.
Here is what you need to do:

1. Pre-registration is required.
To register, please visit https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg. The deadline to register is July 11, 2008.
2. Once you have pre-registered, submit your paper in pdf format via the website we have created here:

http://ichair.professor-murmann.net

Here are important rules to follow: Last year we big had problems in assigning papers because people did not provide keywords.  Hence this year we require that you provide keywords in the following way in the submission form which you reach by going to
http://ichair.professor-murmann.net

From the predefined list you chose a topic.

This list was developed based on the expertise of discussants. This list is this: 

  single case study
multiple case analysis
interviews
archival research
  ethnography
  mixed methods
longitutinal research
  coding general
open (first order) coding
  axial (second order) coding
automatic coding
semiotic analysis
grounded theory
collaborative research—insiders and outsiders
culture
organizational learning and adaptation
creativity and innovation
strategic alliances
perception, categorization, identity

There is a keyword field below the topic list into which you can type keywords.  As your first keyword in this field we want you to chose a second topic from our topic list above.  As your second keyword in this keyword field, each keyword being separated by comma or a space,  you need to indicate the state of development your paper is in, selecting from the following five options:

Early Draft
Advanced Draft
Mature Paper
Paper already under review
Paper reviewed and rejected by a journal

You may put down additional keywords to the two required ones in the keyword field, but you cannot go beyond the 80 characters available. So at minimum your submission needs to look like this example:

Topic: creativity and innovation
Keywords: ethnography, early draft

Don’t forget:  If you do not chose a topic from our list above, a second keyword from the same list and a third keyword indicating the state of development of your paper, your paper will not be processed.

At the end of the submission form, you have to check a box to agree with the following statement: “On behalf of all authors, I hereby declare in good faith that this submitted paper is compliant with the instructions as stated in the call for papers and is not an irregular submission. In particular, it has not been submitted for publication in a substantially similar form in parallel. It does not substantially resubmit any previously published result, up to my knowledge. It is not a plagiarism of content as understood by the academic community.” We could not modify this statement in the conference management software. For the purposes of this PDW, please dis-regard the line:  “In particular, it has not been submitted for publication in a substantially similar form in parallel.”
