The following was presented at the 56th annual meeting of the Midwest Academy of Management in Milwaukee, WI, in October of 2013.
Peter Sorensen and Therese Yaeger were the OD Track chairpersons.
12. Inquiry Questions
1. Are R2C and C2C separate or
integrated?
2. Will a nonlinear model fit an
integrated R2C-C2C concept?
3. Can we examine with a lesser value
lens?
15. Empirical-Theory
If I can’t test the theory I’m
describing, then all I’ve really
done is a nice literature review.
-- Megan Gerhardt (paraphrasing) on JLOS submissions
16. Quantify (less values lens)
“Quantitative research involves
looking at amounts, or quantities,
of one or more variables of
interest”
Counting
Leedy & Ormrod (2010), p. 94
17. What Can You Count?
Objective Measures
Subjective Measures
(high-low)
(good-bad)

20. Non-evaluative constructs
Energy
How much energy do you
have for this change?
(intensity/magnitude)
• Optimize versus maximize
• Researchers: Bruch et al.
(2013), Welbourne et al.
Compliance
To what degree are you
complying with the standard?
• Longer-term (v. Cialdini s-t)
• Encompasses constructive
and destructive deviance
(Jetten, 2013; Pratt, 2013)

23. And lastly …
1. Looking for 1 organization (500+) implementing
a strategic change in the fall of ‘13 or Jan of ‘14
to run the 19 question valid assessment for the
dissertation (all but IRB stamped).
2. Looking for multiple organizations to participate
in the development of the energy and compliance
scales.
