FOSTERING PUBLICATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN LEADING ORGANIZATION AND STRATEGY JOURNALS
Academy of Management Conference 2012 in Boston, Massachusetts
Friday August 3, 2012 / 8:30am-1:00pm
The Global Representatives of the Business Policy and Strategy Division solicit submissions for a professional development workshop specially targeted at scholars from regions historically under-represented within the top journals, yet seeking successful publication in such outlets. The workshop allows participants to learn from the experiences of several journal editors and star scholars, and receive feedback on their own working papers. This interactive workshop has four components:
| (1) Dialogues on framing and submitting manuscripts from outside North America A panel of three editors from leading journals, including: Wenzhen Jane Lu (National University of Singapore), Senior Editor, Asia Pacific Journal of Management and associate editors from the Academy of Management Journal and Strategic Management Journal |
| (2) Doing research that doesnt break the bank Glenn Rowe (Ivey School of Business) Second speaker t.b.a. |
| (3) Publishing and building an academic career outside North America: different experiences from different regions Tunji Adegbesan (Lagos Business School), Africa Harry Barkema (London School of Economics and RSM Erasmus University), Europe Sergio Lazzarini (Insper Institute of Education and Research), Latin America |
| (4) Individual feedback from facilitators on submitted working papers Tunji Adegbesan (Lagos Business School) Moses Acquaah (UNC at Greensboro) Naga Lakshmi Damaraju (Indian School of Business) Francisco Díaz-Hermelo (IAE Business School) Hans Frankort (Cass Business School) Glenn Rowe (Ivey School of Business) George Shinkle (ASB, University of New South Wales) |
Selection Process
Interested scholars should apply by Friday April 27, 2012 by submitting an email to the organizer belonging to their region (see below), attaching (a) a current CV and (b) a completed manuscript that is almost ready for submission to a research journal. Participants will be notified of their selection mid May 2012.
Funding
In order to encourage participation from historically under-represented segments of the academic community, the BPS Division will waive the conference registration fees for all selected participants. Moreover, the BPS Division will be offering flights and accommodation to up to eight scholars whose proposals have been independently accepted for participation in this PDW. Financial support will be offered on the basis of: (a) quality and promise of the manuscripts, and (b) demonstrated need; both to be determined solely at the discretion of the BPS Division. The organizers would therefore like to solicit submissions especially from scholars who otherwise might not consider attending the AOM Annual Conference for financial reasons.
