CARMA Summer Short Courses Plus Program- Research Methods for Management and Organization Studies
Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to send you information about our upcoming Summer Short Courses Plus Program on management and organizational research methods topics being hosted in May of 2011 by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) at Wayne State University. These courses will be offered at one of our partner schools, Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. As you will see below, the topics of these nine Short Courses include introductory and advanced structural equation methods, multilevel analysis, multilevel theory and measurement, meta-analysis, social network analysis, survey design/data collection using the internet, testing interactions with linear regression, and grounded theory methods and analysis. And, this year our Short Courses Plus Program will also include panel sessions, tutorials and Ask the Expert sessions.
CARMA is an interdisciplinary center with a management/organizational emphasis that is now celebrating its thirteenth year of operation. More than 1,000 faculty and students from universities throughout the world have attended CARMA Short Courses since the summer of 2004. Also, nearly 300 different universities have participated in the CARMA Consortium Webcast and International Video Library Programs since 2005. More information about CARMA and the events below can be found at our website:
Overview of Courses and Instructors
Each short course in the Short Courses Plus Program will last two and a half days. They include an equal balance of lecture and hands-on experience with an emphasis on the application of the method. We have a very talented set of instructors for our Short Courses who will help you not only learn the technical details of the research method or analysis technique you will be studying, but they will also help you understand how it is being applied in management and organizational research. Our instructors include several former editors and current editorial board members of top management journals.
