Management scholars are increasingly turning to field experiments, also known as Randomized Controlled Trials, to investigate important research questions related to strategic decision making, incentives and organizational design, innovation processes, and entrepreneurial outcomes. However, the application of this method is relatively new within our community. This symposium brings together a group of highly experienced panelists who are all experts in this research methodology. During their presentations, these panelists will demystify the process and highlight key aspects of conducting field experiments, such as pre-registration, experimental design, implementation of experiments, partnerships with firms and policy makers, etc. The goal of this symposium is to help researchers new to field experiments gain a deeper understanding of this research method by introducing them to best practices, discussing common pitfalls when designing and implementing field experiment, and by providing hands-on tools and tips to get their projects off the ground.
