Writing workshop for doctoral students and junior faculty at SMS Conference in Washington, DC. This year we invite new faculty and doctoral students with complete manuscripts to submit them to the Corporate Strategy and Governance (CSG) Interest Group Preconference Workshop on Developing Manuscripts for Journal Publication. In this workshop several members of the editorial boards of AMJ, AMR, SMJ and OS, will review manuscripts submitted by doctoral candidates or junior faculty and provide informal feedback on how to improve the manuscript for submission to the top tier journals in our field. The feedback will be done in person during the workshop in a round-table format in which each reviewer will meet with all the authors assigned to them and discuss how each manuscript could be improved. Panel Participants: Bryan Boyd, Mason Carpenter, Robert Hoskisson, William Q. Judge, Gerry McNamara, Gerry Sanders, Margarethe Wiersema, and Robert M. Wiseman (session chair). Requirements for participation: First, you must be registered for the SMS conference. Second, only complete manuscripts which are NOT co-authored by senior faculty (faculty with tenure) will be accepted. Third, manuscripts related to corporate strategy or corporate governance will be given preference over manuscripts dealing with other areas. Since space is limited, submissions will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis. Finally, you must attend the workshop to receive feedback on your submission. Time and date of the Workshop: The workshop will be from 10:00 to 11:30 on Sunday, October 11, 2009. Location: TBA Style Guidelines: Be sure the names of all authors, their affiliations and contact information are on the title page. While we have no strict style guidelines, we encourage you to use the style guide lines outlined for submission of manuscripts to the Strategic Management Journal. Submission of your manuscripts: An electronic submission procedure will be set up through the SMS website. When that service becomes available, information for how and where to submit your manuscripts will be posted through this service. If you have questions, please contact, Robert M. Wiseman (
wiseman@bus.msu.edu) associate program chair for the Corporate Strategy and Corporate Governance IG. Deadline for Submissions: The deadline for submitting a manuscript will be August 14, 2009.
