PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

Manuscript Development

2009 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management

Chicago, IL

Sunday, August 08, 2009

9:40AM - 11:40AM

Fairmont Chicago, State Room

PDW organizer: Donald Siegel (University at Albany, SUNY) 

This PDW is aimed at bringing together SIM & ONE and non-SIM/non-ONE scholars to aid colleagues in their efforts to publish in top journals outside those often considered to be specialty journals in ethics and corporate social responsibility. In particular, we have assembled a team of scholars who have been successful publishing SIM & ONE or related work in the very best general management journals like AMJ, AMR, ASQ, JMS, Org Sci, Org Stud, and SMJ. We will pair these experienced scholars with SIM&ONE members interested in exploring how specific manuscripts might be developed to meet the publication standards of the top management journals. Applicants to the workshop will submit a paper to the organizers. These papers will then be evaluated by the organizers as to whether they have any potential (loosely defined) for publication in the top management journals. Once an applicant is accepted, we will assign them to two mentors. Each mentor will receive (ahead of time) a proposal or outline or working paper from two participants, and have comments ready for them in the session. In the 2 hour work session, participants and panelists could really dig into the papers and ideas, and work to develop them to their fullest. Toward the end of the session, each table pair of participants would then caucus for about 15 minutes to compile a brief list of "takeaways", to be reported back to the group at large. These final reports would wrap up the session. We envision a session limited to about 20-25 paper manuscripts, depending on the number of expert mentors available. This workshop requires a pre-registration application and submission of working paper by June 15, 2009 (send your paper by email to Donald Siegel at Donaldsieg@gmail.com with the subject "SIM/ONE Manuscript Workshop Submission"). The applications will be screened by the workshop organizer and participants will be advised as to whether they have been accepted by July 8, 2009.

Pre-registration required by June 15, 2009 (email to Donaldsieg@gmail.com). Applications will be screened and acceptances sent by July 8, 2009.
