Site maintenance

A while back the Academy made the change to its new aomonline domain, which included shifting most divisions and interest groups to the http://group.aomonline.org domain. Most of the old links on the student web were changed in the process, but there were several links that were broken in the process. We have just finished an update that should have fixed all of these broken links, as well as updating the conference info for 2009. The change also caused some problems with our front page (which is an embedded blog). This has been resolved as well, so postings should be more frequent in the future. If you see any additional problems or have comments, please send them via the e-mail address listed at the bottom of this page.

All finalists will receive a US$500 travel stipend, to facilitate their presenting their research at the AIB annual meeting in Milan, Italy.

Richard N. Farmer was President of the AIB from 1977 to 1978, and a professor at Indiana University from 1964 to 1987, where he died at the age of 58. During that period, he played a leading role in the development of the field of International Business. Over 50 doctoral students earned their degrees with him at Indiana University.

Hello!

Please find information below about a winter method short course opportunity.

Yuan Jiang

CARMA Winter Short Course: "Intermediate SEM- Model Evaluation", Jan 10-12

Below you will find information on our Winter Short Course titled "Intermediate Structural Equation Methods: Model Evaluation", which will be offered in mid-January, 2008. This Short Course is hosted by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) at Virginia Commonwealth University, located in Richmond, Virginia, and it will be held January 10-12 (two and a half days). This course is aimed at faculty and students with an introductory understanding of structural equation methods, but who struggle with the challenging process of making judgments about the adequacy of models. It is targeted toward those who either fit models in their own research, regularly read SEM articles in their substantive areas and who want to better understand them, or serve as a journal reviewer and regularly judge articles using SEM.

The course will consist of five sections, with each section having a lecture and lab component:

  • Review of model specification and parameter estimation
  • Logic and computations for goodness-of-fit measures
  • Analysis of residuals and latent variables
  • Model comparison strategies
  • Analysis of participant data (participants are invited to bring their own data or data will be provided)

CARMA has arranged for reduced rates at hotels within walking distance of campus, and Richmond, Virginia has a mid-sized airport with direct flights from many US cities. For more information on CARMA and all of our programs, visit our website at http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/carma/default.asp.

The registration fee for the Winter Short Course is $350 for faculty and $250 for students coming from one of our 120 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program member schools (a list of these schools can be found on the CARMA website). The fees are $700 for faculty and $500 for students from non-Consortium Schools. After December 15, a $50 late fee is required.

If you have any questions, please contact us at carma@vcu.edu. Thanks.

Dr. Larry J. Williams, CARMA Director and University Professor of Management

Winter Short Course Instructor

Hey everyone,

I have had several students respond to my invitation to get involved in the posting to the AOM student web. We are going to be posting some messages over the next little while as everyone gets familiar with the technology. These are not linked to the listserv, so you will only be seeing them on the web.
