DISCUSSION LEADERSHIP: Each student will be designated as “discussion leader” for multiple class sessions (dependent on course enrollment). The requirements are to lead the session and summarize briefly (because all students will have read) 45 minutes maximum – the key points/issues of the required readings and to “kick off” the general discussion. In particular, the discussion leader should (1) highlight the key themes/issues across the assigned and supplemental readings rather than summarize each reading; and (2) develop some questions or points for class discussion. The discussion leader will also help the class to explore some of the research issues the leader feels are important to the topic. I may deviate from these issues where necessary to address other important aspects on the topic. The discussion leader prepares a brief synthesis for his/her colleagues to guide the discussion. The synthesis will be provided to all seminar participants prior to the session. Your synthesis should be posted at least two days before the class you are leading. CLASS PARTICIPATION: There are assigned readings. Some readings students will access themselves; others will be made available using an online platform designed to encourage engagement with the materials and your classmates. Students will be given instructions during our first class about how to access these readings. Students are expected to contribute to all the seminar discussions. Preparation for each class session by demonstrating that content has been read will significantly determine each student’s ability to fulfill this requirement. Even if a student is not the discussion leader, they should still be ready to share their thoughts on the integration, evaluation and extension of the readings. This should include discussion of the research question or issues being addressed and purpose of the article: The important ideas, concepts, theories, methods, results, and conclusions for each article. THEORY PRESENTATION: You are expected prepare a presentation of a potential theory development paper related to you own PhD project. You should draw on your in-depth understanding of a novel yet poorly understood phenomenon and incorporate rich examples. Alternatively, you should draw on primary data collected and analyzed with methods for inductive theory development discussed in this course. Either way, the presentation should establish the phenomenon as a foundation for developing a theory that is relevant and timely. The quality expectation is that the presentation works as a draft for later submission to a leading journal, such as Academy of Management Review or Academy of Management Journal. The quality and the originality of the presented theory as well as the process of coming up with the theory will be valued in assessing the paper. The envisioned paper should make original contributions to a well-specified literature. |
