This PDW is structured in two parts. The first half will be open to all participants interested in hearing our distinguished presenters discuss their experiences and suggestions regarding how to best approach two crucial challenges in qualitative research: 1) how to translate empirical insights into compelling theoretical contributions and 2) how to craft an effective Discussion section to communicate those contributions. Presentations will be followed by a short Q&A session. The second half of the PDW will be reserved to those participants who have pre-registered and submitted a short, executive summary of a qualitative paper they are working on. These tailored discussions will allow the facilitators to address participants’ questions about specific issues encountered when deriving theoretical contributions from an empirical story and writing a corresponding Discussion section. The deadline for proposal submissions is June 24. Details are available via AOM listservs or by contacting the organizers at intotheunknownaom2018@gmail.com.
