Special Track on IB Research Methods
Track chair: Kwok Leung , Department of Management, City University of Hong KongDeadline: Friday, January 15, 2010
Recent advances in research methods have offered IB researchers innovative design and data analytical strategies to address substantive research questions. This special track on IB research methods aims to offer a state-of-the-art review of recent methodological advances from an IB perspective. A developmental/workshop/tutorial format is emphasized in that the presenters should cover conceptual as well practical issues. The inclusion of hands-on demonstrations and exercises as well as practical guidelines for tackling common methodological problems IB research is strongly encouraged.
This track invites submissions in three broad areas:
1. Quantitative Data Analytic Methods
This session will explore contributions involving innovative quantitative methods that are particularly relevant for IB research. Methods for different levels of analysis, such as the individual and firm levels, are welcome. Topics include, but are not restricted to:
- multi-level methods
- cross-cultural invariance
- advances in regression analysis
- structural equation modeling
This session will include qualitative methods that are particularly relevant for IB research, at both individual and firm level of analysis. Topics include, but are not restricted to:
- text mining and discourse analysis
- interpretive research
- action research
- the case method
This session will explore design and measurement issues that are particularly relevant for IB research. Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to:
- longitudinal designs
- experimental designs
- cross-cultural/national research designs
- archival research designs
- web-based research designs
- measurement issues
1) A cover page with a title and contact information for the presenter(s).
2) Specific methodological topics to be addressed;
3) Statement of impact and benefits for participants,
4) Brief outline of subtopics to be covered in the presentation,
