We kindly invite you to the KIN PhD workshop to be held in Amsterdam, June 19 - 23. During the workshop, new research topics are discussed that combine insights from fields as communication science, innovation and knowledge management and information technology. Such a multi-disciplinary approach helps to study the growing distributed forms of organizing, the importance of creativity and knowledge for management and the interest in online interactions and ‘social media’.
The (KIN) research group of the *_VU University Amsterdam_* (kinresearch.nl http://kinresearch.nl) together with *_Amsterdam Business Research Institute_* (ABRI) organizes a 3,5 day workshop from *_June 19 till June 23, 2011_*. PhD’s and early career researchers (Post-doc) are invited to join the workshop to improve their insights and skills in theory development and methods (see *website* http://www.abri.vu.nl/en/events/courses-and-workshops/kin/index.asp). The teaching faculty consists of an international group of scholars, known for their multi-disciplinary and innovative research: *_Chip Steinfield_*;*_Patrick Cohendet_*;*_Natalia Levina_*;*_Paul Pavlou_*;*_Michel Avital_*;**and*_Marleen Huysman_*.
During the morning sessions of this 3,5 day workshop, participants will learn about research on topics as boundary spanning for innovation, strategic management of knowledge, social network sites and creative regional clusters. During the afternoon sessions, participants are asked to present their own research (ideas) on which the group including faculty members will be asked to respond and interact.
