DESCRIPTION:This seminar is not a presentation of research results. Rather\
 , it is a presentation of what goes on "behind the scenes" in the methods 
 that lead up to the results. Using examples from several high-tech organiz
 ations (e.g.\, Motorola\, Intel\, British Telecom\, Red Hat\, Cisco)\, Dr.
  Jonathon Cummings will discuss the rewards as well as the risks of doing 
 field research\, notably the messiness inherent in being in the field rath
 er than in the lab. He will also touch on how to negotiate access to field
  sites\, how to be clear up front regarding who owns the (qualitative and/
 or quantitative) data\, and how to balance personal research interests wit
 h the strategic interests of the organization. The seminar is meant to be 
 informal\, so please bring questions you have about conducting field resea
 rch in organizations. \n\nFor anyone interested in a primer on field resea
 rch in organizations\, it is recommended to read the following article:\nE

 nt field research. Academy of Management Review\, 32(4)\, 1155-1179.\n\n--

 eceived an NSF Early Career Award for his research on innovation in geogra
 phically dispersed teams and networks. His subsequent research has focused
  on virtual teams in corporations as well as collaboration in science\, an
 d his publications have appeared in outlets across a number of fields\, in
 cluding Organizational Behavior (e.g.\, Management Science\, Academy of Ma
 nagement Journal\, Academy of Management Review)\, Information Systems (e.
 g.\, MIS Quarterly\, Information Systems Research)\, Human-Computer Intera
 ction (e.g.\, CHI\, CSCW\, CACM)\, and Science Policy (e.g.\, Social Studi
