    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.
