Publishing Strategy as Practice Research: Paper Development Workshop
Workshop organizer: Saku Mantere (PDW Chair) with the Strategizing,
Activities & Practice Group leadership team
Are you a junior faculty member or a post doc, maybe an advanced stage
PhD candidate? Working on areas within or around strategizing,
activities and practice? Want help in getting your ideas published
internationally (who isn't these days...)? Why not participate in the
first Strategizing, Activities and Practice paper development workshop
in San Antonio!
Scholars who seek to publish work on the field of strategy as practice
face a challenge, characteristic of emerging literatures. They have to
convince journal editors and reviewers of the legitimacy of, not only
their own work, but also the literature within which they intend to
contribute. The Strategy as Practice Paper Development Workshop aims
to help scholars develop their papers in close interaction with
leading researchers within and beyond the domain of the Strategy as
Practice research community. In addition to the Strategy as Practice
sub theme, therefore, this workshop offers an arena for scholars
sharing an interest in the field of Strategy as Practice to develop
their ideas towards publishable research articles. The PDW will be
built on expert insight, group interaction as well as one-on-one
feedback, with a focus on the pragmatic challenges of publishing.
The workshop will consist of three episodes. We will begin with a
1-on-1 mentoring session between each participant and a senior
academic, experienced in publishing work in high-quality outlets. The
feedback elicited in these discussions will be further processed in
round tables, chaired by senior scholars within the Strategy as
Practice community. The workshop will be concluded by an expert panel
discussion between senior scholars who have editorial experience in
leading publication outlets. The round tables will prepare questions
to be discussed within by the panel members. We will challenge the
editors to explore their experiences with papers seeking to contribute
to emerging academic literatures.
The workshop is open to all interested scholars though preference will
be given to PhD candidates and early career researchers. Potential
participants are expected to submit a paper, currently in development
for publication. They may also share potential editorial decisions and
reviews that they wish to reflect in their mentoring discussions.
