However, the diversity of underlying philosophical positions, multiple research paradigms, nonstandard research designs, contested theorizing, and variable quality of writing, make it very difficult for scholars, especially junior scholars, to conduct rigorous qualitative research and build new theories. This PDW aims to solve these listed problems and help qualitative scholars face these challenges. It will be in three separate sessions.<br><br>Session 1: Panel discussion<br>The aim of Session 1 is to advance the quality, diversity and understanding of qualitative research methods in management, and provide distinct perspectives on conducting qualitative research in China. <br><br>Session 2: Round-table career path discussion<br>The aim of this session is to facilitate discussion on the challenges and possible solutions in doing qualitative research in China. Both international and domestic experts will share their own experiences during the round-table discussion.<br>This session is limited to selected participants, with selection being based on a submitted CV and personal statement.<br><br>Session 3: One to one paper discussion<br>We call for both theoretical and empirical papers. In order to guarantee the quality of this session, only a limited number of papers can be selected. Authors of the selected papers will have an opportunity to discuss their paper with assigned senior scholars whose expertise is in qualitative research. All the senior scholars are requested to read their assigned paper before the discussion.<br><br><b><font color="#ff0000">Submission deadline: May 20th, 2016.</font></b><br>Submit to <font color="#0000ff">Qianwen Wan (<a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3Dind1603%26L%3DAIB-L%26E%3Dbase64%26P%3D1911143%26B%3D------%253D_Part_5267_1088163302.1457673505940%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DUTF-8%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a>) </font><br><br>Invited scholars:<br><br>Tony Fang, Stockholm University<br>Catherine Welch, University of Sydney<br>Carol Hsu, National Taiwan University<br>Jeremy Clegg, University of Leeds<br>Hui Tan, University of London<br>Tian Wei, Fudan University<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Tian</div><br><span>--<br><pre wrap="soft" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Tian Wei PhD.
