CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
“FOSTERING PUBLICATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN LEADING ORGANIZATION AND
STRATEGY JOURNALS”
Academy of Management Conference 2012 in Boston, Massachusetts
Friday August 3, 2012 / 8:30am-1:00pm
The Global Representatives of the Business Policy and Strategy Division
solicit submissions for a professional development workshop specially
targeted at scholars from regions historically under-represented within
the top journals, yet seeking successful publication in such outlets. The
workshop allows participants to learn from the experiences of several
journal editors and star scholars, and receive feedback on their own
working papers. This interactive workshop has four components:
(1) Dialogues on framing and submitting manuscripts from outside North
America
A panel of three editors from leading journals, including Wenzhen Jane Lu
(National University of Singapore), Senior Editor, Asia Pacific Journal of
Management; and associate editors from the Academy of Management Journal
and Strategic Management Journal
(2) Doing research that doesn’t break the bank
Glenn Rowe (Ivey School of Business)
Second speaker t.b.a.
(3) Publishing and building an academic career outside North America:
different experiences from different regions
Tunji Adegbesan (Lagos Business School), Africa
Harry Barkema (London School of Economics and RSM Erasmus University),
Europe
Sergio Lazzarini (Insper Institute of Education and Research), Latin
America
(4) Individual feedback from facilitators on submitted working papers
Tunji Adegbesan (Lagos Business School)
Moses Acquaah (UNC at Greensboro)
Naga Lakshmi Damaraju (Indian School of Business)
Francisco Díaz-Hermelo (IAE Business School)
Hans Frankort (Cass Business School)
Glenn Rowe (Ivey School of Business)
George Shinkle (ASB, University of New South Wales)
Selection Process
Interested scholars should apply by Friday May 11, 2012 by submitting an
email to the organizer belonging to their region (see below), attaching
(a) a current CV and (b) a completed manuscript that is almost ready for
submission to a research journal. Participants will be notified of their
selection mid May 2012.
Funding
In order to encourage participation from historically under-represented
segments of the academic community, the BPS Division will waive the
conference registration fees for all selected participants. Moreover, the
BPS Division will be offering flights and accommodation to up to eight
scholars whose proposals have been independently accepted for
participation in this PDW. Financial support will be offered on the basis
of: (a) quality and promise of the manuscripts, and (b) demonstrated need;
both to be determined solely at the discretion of the BPS Division. The
organizers would therefore like to solicit submissions especially from
scholars who otherwise might not consider attending the AOM Annual
Conference for financial reasons.
