Call for Papers: Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (SEI) Faculty Workshop
19 September 2025 – 20 September 2025
Stockholm School of Economics, Stockholm, Sweden
We would like to invite paper submissions for the annual European Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (SEI) Faculty Workshop to be held on Friday, September 19th – Saturday, September 20th, at Stockholm School of Economics. The small-scale workshop builds upon the success of previous SEI Faculty Workshops and aims to provide a forum for in-depth discussion to scholars in the fields of Strategy, Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation that are in the process of preparing high-potential manuscripts for submission to top journals. Junior faculty (e.g., assistant professors, tenure trackers) will receive priority, and are especially encouraged to submit their work. Following an informal dinner on the evening of Thursday, September 18th, the main workshop and presentations will begin on Friday, September 19th and continue until lunch on Saturday, September 20th. The Faculty Workshop will take place alongside the Doctoral Consortium, constituting a single event.
About the SEI faculty workshop: The SEI Consortium is an initiative of faculty from Europe's leading business schools, to help advance the research frontier and stimulate the academic labour market. To this end, it supports an annual Faculty Workshop and a Doctoral Consortium. The purpose of the Faculty Workshop is to bring together top scholars from European institutions whose research focuses on strategy, entrepreneurship and innovation. It provides a venue to present work in development and receive feedback from leading scholars in the field, including several members of editorial boards of journals such as the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Management Studies, Management Science, Organization Science, Research Policy, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Journal of Business Venturing, and Strategic Management Journal, among others. Several papers presented in past workshops have been published in those outlets. There will be plenty of opportunities for informal discussion and networking outside the formal presentations, including coffee breaks, meals, and dinners.
Selection process:
Junior faculty members (e.g., assistant professors and tenure trackers) and those who have not presented at the SEI before are especially encouraged to apply. All participants are expected to be based in Europe.
Paper format: Each paper will have about 45 minutes for presentation and discussion. All participants are expected to read the papers and contribute to the discussion. The submitted papers should contribute to one or more of the following broad areas: strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Since the aim of this developmental workshop is to help prepare articles for submission to top journals, papers must not be already accepted, or close to being accepted. Preference will be given to papers by junior faculty.
Schedule: The deadline for the submission of papers is May 1st, 2025. Please submit your paper with names and affiliations on the first page, separate from the paper itself. Submissions should be made online at https://www.seiconsortium.com/papersubmission. A selection committee will blind review and rank all papers given the selection criteria. The top scoring papers will be selected for inclusion in the program. No feedback will be provided at this stage. We aim to inform authors of accepted papers by mid June 2025.
Transportation, lodging, and meals: Faculty presenters are expected to cover their own expenses of travel and accomodation. There is no registration fee for the workshop.
