STR Managing Your Dissertation Workshop
Pre-registration Deadline: June 30, 2021
The STR Managing Your Dissertation Workshop will be offered at the 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management on Saturday, July 31 2021, 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET. The workshop is open to all doctoral students. The workshop offers practical advice to advanced doctoral students on completing their dissertations and transitioning to their first academic positions. Pre-registration from students is required.
The workshop will be conducted in an informal setting where students will be able to interact with faculty and other students in small groups. The finalists for last year's STR Outstanding Dissertation Award share the coordination of the workshop. These finalists are: Ankur Chavda (PhD MIT), Andrea Contigiani (PhD U. Pennsylvania), Trey Cummings (PhD Washington U.), Danny Kim (PhD MIT), and Marco Testoni (PhD UCLA). The format of the PDW will mix plenary presentations by senior faculty followed by Q&A's, and breakout discussion groups led by last year's finalists for the STR Outstanding Dissertation Award. The following is a partial list of faculty members who have agreed to participate in the workshop: Giada Di Stefano (Bocconi), Anne Marie Knott (Washington U.), Dan Levinthal (U. Pennsylvania), Marvin Lieberman (UCLA), and Scott Stern (MIT).
If you are a doctoral student in strategy, you are encouraged to attend. Small group discussion will allow for interaction of people at similar stages. Topics to be covered include: (a) managing a dissertation committee, (b) considerations on research design, (c) practical and technical issues associated with data collection, (d) seeking a job and preparing the job talk, (e) writing and defending the dissertation, and (f) carving up the dissertation into papers for publication.
Interested doctoral students should pre-register at https://forms.gle/z3hw3prmXqbGXzHs7. The deadline to pre-register is June 30, 2021. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. If you have any questions, please contact Marco Testoni (m.testoni@tilburguniversity.edu).
