Please join our professional development workshop (PDW) titled "Research Grounded in African Experiences: The Process and Practice of Publishing" and gain insights into publishing rigorous and impactful research grounded in African experiences. The session will consist of two interactive sessions that engage scholars and editors across AOM who are (or may be) interested in Africa-based research.
Part 1 will offer insights into publishing rigorous and impactful Africa-based Management and Organization research. A panel of journal editors will discuss how journals' publication processes and editorial practices engage with research drawing on African experiences, as well as from a variety of content areas and methodologies.
Panelists
· Cynthia E. Devers, Journal of Management
· Marc Gruber, Academy of Management Journal
· Lamar Pierce, Organization Science
· Brian S. Silverman, Strategic Management Journal
Part 2 will feature Robert Nason, the author of the AMR article, will briefly walk us through his journey from submission to acceptance. Then, Sharon A. Alvarez (the Action Editor) will share her perspectives on the review process, as well as reflect on how this paper is distinct or like others she knows based on her considerable editorial and publishing experience.
