Management Studies Paper Development Workshop
An International Workshop Sponsored by the Journal of Management Studies, the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management (Vallendar, Germany).
Date: May, 27-29, 2015
Journal of Management Studies is partnering with WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management (Vallendar, Germany) in organizing a paper development workshop. This workshop is primarily directed at junior faculty and later stage doctoral students. It is designed to provide hands-on training and feedback on promising working papers to enhance the ability to publish these papers in top tier journals, such as the Journal of Management Studies. In addition to feedback on the submitted papers, the workshop will also focus on the challenges and typical pitfalls in the editorial process and the editorial team members will share their experiences on this topic.
Participation in this workshop will be limited to twenty authors. Stipends of up to 350 euro will be awarded to selected junior scholars. The mentors for this workshop amongst others will be the Journal of Management Studies Editors: Garry Bruton (Texas Christian University) and Dries Faems (University of Groningen). In addition, mentorship will be provided by the local organizers Sabine Rau (WHU), and Franz Kellermanns (UNC – Charlotte and WHU). The keynote will be given by Garry Bruton (Texas Christian University).
For selection, please provide a current CV, an abstract of the paper that is being submitted to the conference (no more than 5 double-spaced pages including references).
The participants may submit papers that reflect the entire scope of the topic areas published in the Journal of Management Studies, including research on organization theory and behavior, strategy, human resource management, international business, innovation and entrepreneurship.
The workshop will start with a reception on May 27, and includes 1.5 days of program, concluding on May 29 at midday. There will not be a conference fee. Meals will be provided. Multiple inexpensive hotel options are available close to the conference location in Vallendar (Germany), which can be easily accessed via train (connecting from airports like Frankfurt, Cologne or Düsseldorf).
