    Hi Josh,

    I'm not available, but I am also a doc candidate working on my dissertation in decision-making. Good luck.

    Greetings All,

     

    Have an interest in contributing to and learning about the field of management and/or decision making studies?  I am a doctoral student at Claremont Graduate University, and I write to ask if you will please assist me in my thesis research by participating in an upcoming online chat session.  The one and only requirement for participation is that you have current or past experience as an organization manager in any US-based context.  You will join a small group of managers in addressing the usefulness of evidence types and sources in making common management decisions.

     

    The current study presents an exciting opportunity for you to contribute to research that can make the way we practice management more efficient and effective.  Immediately prior to the online chat session, you will be asked to complete a survey and record your reactions to the experience.  Afterwards, you will meet in a web-based chat room with a group of managers to discuss the survey instrument in relation to your management experience and practice.  All of these steps can be completed from any location including the comfort of your own home.  To participate, you must have a computer, an updated web browser, and internet access.  This forum will provide a great opportunity to gain insight into how other managers make decisions on a regular basis and learn about the latest research on managerial decision making. 

     

    All participants will receive a $30 Amazon gift card for their time.

     

    If you are interested in participating, please reply directly to this email.  I am looking for individuals who are available this Wednesday (2/16) from 3-4:30pm PST.  In your reply, please briefly describe your management experience.  Please do not hesitate to raise any questions or concerns about the research project.

     

    Thank you for your time!

     

    Sincerely,

    Hi Kevin,

     

    Thanks for the supportive comments!  What exactly are you looking at in your dissertation if you don't mind me asking?

     

    Best,

    Josh
