A SHORT WORKSHOP ON ABDUCTIVE REASONING AND THE ROLE OF ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT DISCOVERIES
Location: LMU – Munich
Learn more at this hands-on workshop with Peter Bamberger, editor of Academy of Management Discoveries.
In this workshop, Professor Bamberger will present a complementary scientific logic, one grounded on abductive reasoning (i.e., inference to the best plausible explanation). Building upon Mantere & Ketokivi's (2013: 72) statement that, "we predict, confirm, and disconfirm through deduction, generalize through induction, and theorize through abduction," he will distinguish the latter from these other two, more established scientific logics. After demonstrating how abduction serves as the basis for many other scientific fields, he will argue that it also serves as the under-recognized (and often maligned) basis upon much of what we do as management scholars.
He will also review how such research is reviewed, evaluated and constructively developed when submitted to Academy of Management Discoveries.
In the second part of the session, there will be a paper development workshop in which Professor Bamberger will provide feedback on papers that authors are considering for submission to Academy of Management Discoveries.
