Managerial and Organizational Cognition MOC

Experimental Methods in Social Network Research PDW
Sunday, August 2 | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown, Ballroom South

Open to all AOM attendees. To join the roundtable waitlist or submit a question for the panel, please fill out the form here. Thank you!

How can experiments advance social network research? What kinds of network questions can be studied experimentally - and how do you design, run, and publish such studies? This PDW offers hands-on guidance from research design to the review process, with a lineup that has held editorial roles at ASQ, AMJ, AMR, JPSP, Management Science, and Organization Science.

10:00–11:10 - Research showcases: four experimental network studies, from laboratory to field 

• Presenters: Stefano Tasselli, Sheen S. Levine, Nir Halevy, Sameer B. Srivastava

11:10–11:55 - Small-group roundtables (roundtable pre-registered participants)

12:00–13:00 - Panel discussion: where network research is heading, and how to publish experimental work

• Panelists: Ronald S. Burt, Adam M. Kleinbaum, Martin Kilduff, Jill Perry-Smith

Note: the running order differs from the AOM program abstract - research showcases open the session, and the senior panel closes it.

Whether you are designing your first network experiment or revising one through review, this PDW welcomes everyone from PhD students to senior faculty.
