2006 ABO Doctoral Consortium Details

Presentation Materials from 2006 Consortium provided by Bryan Church, added 10/24/2006

 

The Accounting, Behavior, and Organizations Section of the AAA is pleased to announce its first Doctoral Consortium.  The Consortium will be held in conjunction with this year’s ABO Research Conference in Portland, Oregon in early October.  The Consortium includes two sessions moderated by Bryan Church (current BRIA editor).  These sessions should be of interest to both PhD students interested in conducting behavioral research and new faculty conducting research in the area (i.e., first three years post PhD). 

 

The Doctoral Consortium will consist of two sessions. The first session is designed to provide attendees with insight into successfully starting an academic career. Three panel members will participate in the session, all of whom are visible in behavioral accounting research: Frank Hodge (University of Washington), Steve Kaplan (Arizona State University and former BRIA editor), and Brooke Elliott (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). The panel members will provide advice on developing a research portfolio, balancing teaching and research, developing colleagues, and "fitting into" a school.

 

The second session is designed to provide attendees with the basics on conducting good behavioral research, including traditional laboratory research, field studies, and experimental economics. The session includes a panel of three well-renowned researchers: Karim Jamal (University of Alberta), Ron King (Washington University - St. Louis), and Karen Sedatole (Michigan State University). The panel members will provide their advice on conducting good research.  

 

The Consortium will take place the morning of October 6th immediately prior to the ABO Research Conference (October 6-7). Consortium and Conference registration is free for student members of the AAA (students need not be members of the ABO section). In addition, three nights hotel will be paid by the ABO section for 20 PhD student participants. Students will share a room with another student participant (two participants to a room). Registration includes Friday and Saturday lunch as well as an appetizer reception on Friday. Participants staying at the conference hotel also will receive full cooked breakfasts on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Student cost will thus be only the cost of transportation and dinner Friday and Saturday.

 

Questions about the Consortium can be addressed to Anne M. Magro at amagro@ou.edu. Information about the Research Conference and registration materials can be found at http://aaahq.org/meetings/2006ABO_online.htm.

 

We ask that you pass this information along to doctoral students or new faculty (first three years) who you think may benefit from the experience of attending the Consortium and Research Conference. We are excited about this opportunity to bring together young behavioral researchers and more experienced researchers in the field to exchange ideas and experiences and hope that students from your program will be able to attend.
