    Call For Applications: AOM IM Division Junior Faculty Consortium 2014

    APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 15, 2014

    The International Management (IM) Division will conduct a Junior Faculty Consortium on Saturday, August 2nd from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the 2014 Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    Did you defend your dissertation in the last few years? Are you thinking about how to publish, get tenure, and make a mark in the field of International Management research? Then this consortium is for you.

    First of all, congratulations on defending successfully your dissertation. That is a major achievement. As you likely have heard, to succeed in this business it is important to publish and a number of distinguished scholars will be at hand to help you with that task for the day-long duration of this consortium.

    The focus of this year's consortium will be on three things: publishing, publishing, and publishing! A first scholarly panel will address how to increase in general your likelihood of getting published focusing in particular on international business research outlets. A second scholarly panel will focus on how to write good theory, a key component to getting your research published. A third scholarly panel will address ways in which the methods you use can help uplift your manuscript and open more doors for you. Finally, you will get the chance to meet with the editors representing the leading journals in the field as they will present to you their journals and editorial policies.

    You will also each get a chance to have a one on one conversations with one of the faculty participating in the consortium, get feedback on your own research and ask them about issues that are unique to your own situation and country, as promotion and tenure rules vary dramatically across the countries from which our members come from.

    Lorraine Eden, Texas A&M U.
