Reminder AOM 2019 PDW - Transportation data and management theory

  • 1.  Reminder AOM 2019 PDW - Transportation data and management theory

    Posted 07-25-2019 08:02

    PDW description/overview

    In this PDW we aim to discuss the latest qualitative and quantitative empirical evidence, which demonstrates that the transportation sector is an excellent setting to develop management/strategy theory. We intend to present a number of research streams and skills to facilitate discussions on how to best use the data available in terms of advancing the management/strategy literature, which is expected to result in opportunities for developing joint projects/papers. In-depth interactions at roundtables, facilitated by leading academic experts and industry executives (in addition to the feedback that we will give to proposals that attendees submit prior to the session) will allow for enhanced cross-fertilization of ideas, skill development and the generation of potential new research projects/ collaborations. As we intend to develop some innovative approaches and projects around strategy in transportation, those ideas will guide the bulk of the discussion and workshop activities.
