An Analysis of Coauthorship Antecedents,

Trends, and Outcomes in Business Research

This study examines coauthorship patterns in scholarly research.  Formally labeled as the study of "scientific collaboration" in other social science and "hard sciences," we examine both the longitudinal evidence for changes in the frequency of coauthorship, as well as factors that influence researchers' specific choices of coauthors (including personal factors such as same gender and same PhD training institution). We also examine specific outcomes that have been identified as resulting from coauthored research - such as a larger number of citations and longer (page) length of articles. We use a sample of five leading, international scholarly journals from the information systems (IS) field to test of our hypotheses - in essence, replicating many of these hypotheses that were previously investigated in related business disciplines such as Finance and Economics. We found support for nearly all our hypotheses.  However, we found an unusual result regarding the relationship between number of coauthors and number of citations in several top journals - with the number of coauthors positively related to number of citations in MIS Quarterly and European Journal of IS, but inversely-related in Information Systems Research.  Through several post hoc analyses (including controlling for the type of research study and the authors' home countries), we explore the reasons why studies with more coauthors are cited more often in MIS Quarterly and European Journal of IS, but less frequently-cited in ISR. 

This talk is based on a manuscript that has been submitted to a special issue of Journal of AIS on the topic of Social Network Analysis. It is in the process of being revised-and-resubmitted. 

The seminar will be held in Maria de Molina 7, room D301 , at 15:00.

Please confirm your attendance to Tertulias@ie.edu

Mike Gallivan

Mike's research focuses on individual and organizational factors that influence implementation of technology innovations among managers, IT professionals, and other knowledge workers.

Mike serves as Associate Editor for MIS Quarterly, Journal of Management Information Systems, and Information, Technology & People, and is a member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Information Technology. His research has been published in MIS Quarterly, European Journal of Information Systems, Journal of Management Information Systems, Information and Organization, Journal of AIS, Information Systems Journal, Information, Technology & People, Database for Advances in IS, and IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. 

Mike is active with ACM SIGADIT and ACM Special Interest Group on MIS (having served as General Conference Chair for SIG MIS in 2005, and will again serve as General Conference Chair in 2010, when the conference will be held in Vancouver, Canada).

Saludos y gracias por su interés.

The IE Tango Club has been slow to get going this year.  We were unfortunate to lose our very own professor in Burak due to his recent sojourn in the US.  In the meantime, we have been pursuing classes with his partner, Carmen.  Due to the poor attendance at the last workshop it has not been possible to organise more classes specifically for IE students, however the die-hards have remained true to the cause.

Now there is a new opportunity and the IE Tango Club would like to invite all of you have come previously, plus all of the new students that are interested in learning this exciting and senual dance.

TANGO WORKSHOP - BEGINNERS

Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th May

Saturday - 18:00-21:00
Sunday - 12:00-18:00
(Total: 6 hours)

€55 per person/€100 per couple

C/ Escorial 3
"Sala Malasaña"
(Metro: Tribunal or Callao)

Profesora: Carmen de la Rosa - www.carmendelarosa.com
635 514 576

A quote from Carmen: (translate it with Google)

El Tango es un baile que es mucho más que eso. Es un sentimiento que te impregna, haciéndote vibrar con la música y con el otro, es un juego de dos: las miradas se cruzan, uno y otro se escuchan, abrazo..., respiro la calma hasta que uno propone y el otro va, confiando en el otro, sintiéndole, compartiendo todo lo que me invade en ese momento, latiendo con la música en ese único abrazo.

Todo esto es un aprendizaje.

En este Intensivo puntualizaremos y trabajaremos la postura correcta junto al equilibrio, eje-centro-tierra-aire para tener un baile fácil, las conexiones con nuestro cuerpo y la conexión con el otro, pasando después al entendimiento de diferentes herramientas y del Tango : los pesos, la caminada, cambios de frente, cruzadas y ochos entre los más destacados.

Estas herramientas las colocaremos después de diferentes formas para practicar, dialogar, jugar y bailar con nuestra pareja.

En definitiva trabajamos la técnica para un buen baile pero sin olvidar la música y teniendo como fin llegar al alma de este baile.

Now a few notes from me:

• This class is not exclusively for IE.  Carmen is arranging it and I am telling you about it.
• The class will be in Spanish.  Well, you wanted to learn Spanish too, right?
• €55!!  2 days!!  Yes, well believe me, it makes sense.  Tango is quite a technical dance.  You will need quite a few basics to start enjoying it.  But it is worth the effort.  I think this is a great way to get going quickly.

This course is not exclusive for IE.  I had planned to organize one, but I was too busy with exams.  Carmen has told me about this one and I am advertising it.  I really strongly encourage anyone interested to sign up, because I cannot think of a better way to start and at less than €10/hr it is not expensive.

The class will be in Spanish, but this is not a problem, trust me.  I do not speak Spanish well and I did many dancing classes in Spanish before I learned any Spanish (tango, like all the best dancing, is in Spanish!).  Remember that dancing is not about talking, but about moving your body.  Watch and learn.  However, if it is bothering you, remember that if there are a group of IE people, there is probably someone who can translate for you a bit.

I have been taking classes in tango for about 5 years and I have to say that Carmen (with Burak, of course) is the best and nicest teacher I have ever had.  I have seen her dancing at milongas in Madrid and she is a great dancer too.  She will make sure that you get the technique and is very patient when explaining, even if the language is a problem.  I have been attending Carmen´s classes since February and my tango has improved a lot!

I encourage you to contact Carmen directly.  There are more details on her website and you can email her (usually easier if you have trouble with speaking Spanish on the phone).  Be aware a deposit is required.

If you have any questions, please contact me.  I will try to answer them.  If you are already a top notch tango dancer, let me know and we can organize to visit some milongas.  Those taking the beginners workshop should be able to join us for the milongas also.  We would like some help on the committee of the club, so we will soon have a general meeting where people interested in helping out can come and volunteer.

I look forward to hearing from you.
