Travel Support for the Organizational Communication and Information Systems Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持一个由来自美国和海外的大约25名有前途的研究生组成的博士联盟(研讨会)，以及一个由大约5名杰出的研究人员导师组成的小组。该活动将于8月3日至4日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行，与管理学院S 2012年大会同时举行。这是介绍和讨论有关管理和组织的研究的领先国际论坛，来自世界各地的约6000名专业人士参加了会议。有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://meetings.aomonline.org/2012/.The组织通信和信息系统(OCIS)博士联盟。该联盟是一个以研究为重点的会议，自2000年以来每年都在AOM会议上举行，并帮助启动了许多组织通信和信息系统领域杰出研究人员的职业生涯。研讨会的目标包括建立一个新研究人员队列小组，然后他们将拥有一个遍布世界各地的同事网络，通过让研究领域的专家为新研究人员提供建议来指导他们的工作，并使该领域有前途的新进入者能够参加他们的研究会议。学生参与者将在研讨会期间对他们的研究进行正式陈述，并将收到教员小组的反馈。这些反馈旨在帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作相对于其他OCIS研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否得到正确的选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示。学生参与者将于8月3-4日向博士联合体介绍他们的工作，并在会议的技术方案期间(8月5-7日)计划后续活动。OCIS会议管理委员会将对博士联合体进行评估，结果将提供给未来联合体的组织者。OCIS博士联盟在为进入年轻博士学者领域的初步社会化提供了一个非常成功的论坛；今天的许多领先研究人员作为学生参与了早期联盟。广泛的影响：一年一度的OCIS博士联盟传统上聚集了组织通信和信息系统方面最优秀的下一代研究人员，使他们能够在他们之间以及与处于其专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立一个社交网络。鼓励所有研究与OCIS相关的博士生申请，无论他们在哪个领域获得学位。虽然NSF的资金将主要用于支持在美国注册的研究生项目的学生参加，但一些国际参与者也可能得到支持，因为OCIS领域接受了世界不同地区不同的教育和文化传统。组织者将明确努力确定并纳入最广泛的高资质参与者群体，特别是将在参与者选择过程中考虑性别问题。作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师参与者将在不同的维度组成一个多样化的群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，使其未来受益于该领域。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 25 promising graduate students from the United States and abroad, along with a panel of about 5 distinguished research faculty mentors. The event will take place in conjunction with the Academy of Management (AOM)'s 2012 Conference and will be held August 3-4 in Boston, MA. This is the leading international forum for the presentation and discussion of research about management and organizations, and is attended by approximately 6,000 professionals from around the world. More information about the conference is available at http://meetings.aomonline.org/2012/.The Organizational Communication and Information Systems (OCIS) Doctoral Consortium is a research-focused meeting that has taken place annually at the AOM conference since 2000, and has helped to launch the careers of many outstanding researchers in organizational communication and information systems. Goals of the workshop include building a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues spread out across the world, guiding the work of new researchers by having experts in the research field give them advice, and making it possible for promising new entrants to the field to attend their research conference. Student participants will make formal presentations of their research during the workshop, and will receive feedback from the faculty panel. The feedback is geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other OCIS research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Student participants will present their work to the doctoral consortium on August 3-4, with follow up activities planned during the technical program of the conference (August 5-7). The OCIS conference management committee will evaluate the doctoral consortium, and the results will be made available to the organizers of future consortia. The OCIS doctoral consortia have been highly successful in providing a forum for the initial socialization into the field of young doctoral scholars; many of today's leading researchers participated as students in earlier consortia.Broader Impacts: The annual OCIS doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in organizational communication and information systems, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Applications are encouraged from all doctoral students whose research is OCIS-related, regardless of the fields in which they are earning their degrees. While NSF funds will be used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States, some international participants may be supported as well in recognition of the fact that the OCIS field embraces educational and cultural traditions that vary in different parts of the world. The organizers will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants, and in particular will consider gender in the participant selection process. As a consequence of these steps, the student and faculty participants will constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, which will help broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.
