Call for Papers: Corporate Masterminds – Executive Management Teams in Focus

Call for papers for a Special Issue of Team Performance Management, titled

“Corporate Masterminds – Executive Management Teams in Focus”

Over the last decade, academic researchers have shown a strong interest in executive management teams, as their members are the most influential corporate decision-makers and largely determine various external (e.g. strategic direction, firm performance) and internal (e.g. leadership style, organizational structure) outcomes. The special issue aims to advance our theoretical and empirical understanding of the composition of executive management teams, the interplay of different actors, and the impact of contextual settings.

Submission deadline is November 1, 2013.

GESIS: Introduction to Social Network Analysis (28.-29.11.2013)

Instructors: Dr. Thomas Grund

Date: 28. – 29. November 2013

The empirical study of social network dynamics and emergence of social structures is currently receiving considerable attention. For example, novel actor-oriented modeling strategies that can be used to study how network structures evolve, dramatically change the way scholars assess the social world. This workshop gives an introduction to the statistical analysis of social networks. Topics include: introduction to R, network centrality and centralization, visualization, random networks, conditional uniform graphs, quadratic assignment procedure, p2 models, exponential random graph models, stochastic actor-oriented network models (SIENA), modeling of relational events.

Depending on the languages of the participants, the workshop will be held either in English or in German.

Learning objectives

You will gain a solid understanding of social networks and how they can be modeled.

Course entrance requirements

Some basic knowledge of regression analysis.

GESIS: Offene Fragen und Inhaltsanalyse (26.-27.11.2013)

Leitung: Cornelia Züll

Datum: 26. – 27. November 2013

Gegenstand des Workshops ist der Umgang mit offenen Fragen, wie sie in einem ansonsten standardisierten Fragebogen eingesetzt werden. Das Themenspektrum umfasst verschiedene Ansätze der Codierung der Antworten. Dazu gehören die konventionelle Inhaltsanalyse mit und ohne Software-Unterstützung genauso wie die dictionär-basierte (automatische) Inhaltsanalyse. Zunächst wird kurz auf die offene Frage im Interview eingegangen, bevor die zentrale Frage des Codierens der Antworten mit Hilfe der Inhaltsanalyse diskutiert wird. Hier wird der Workshop ausführlich die folgenden Themen ansprechen: Erstellung eines Kategoriensystems, verschiedene Möglichkeiten der Kategoriendefinition, der Codierprozess selbst und die Frage der Reliabilität und Validität der Kategorien und Codierungen. Im Anschluss daran wird kurz auf andere Formen der Analyse von offene Fragen eingegangen.

In praktischen Übungen kommt sowohl die manuelle als auch die computergestützte Inhaltsanalyse zur Anwendung. Statistische Programme zur Auswertung der Codierdaten, z.B. SPSS, werden nur am Rande behandelt.

Lernziele

Am Ende des Workshops sind die Teilnehmer in der Lage offene Angaben in einer Umfrage zu codieren. Sie können für ihr Projekt entscheiden, welcher Ansatz Inhaltsanalyse für sie geeignet ist, Kategorien definieren und ihre offenen Angaben entsprechend codieren. Sie sehen auch, wann sich ein Software-Einsatz lohnt und welche Art der Software geignet ist.

Voraussetzungen

Grundkenntnisse in Umfragemethoden.

Teilnehmeranzahl: 16

Ziel ist es, den Teilnehmern/-innen wissenschaftlich fundierte Empfehlungen für die Konstruktion von Fragebogen zu machen, die in der Umfrageforschung und Umfragepraxis zum Einsatz gebracht werden können. Die Teilnehmer sollen am Ende des Workshops eine Vorstellung darüber haben, worauf zu achten ist, wenn man einen Fragebogen konstruiert.
