Strategic Management (STR)

The academic year is rapidly coming to an end and so are the STR online events. But there is still time for you to join some of these exciting events. 

Two of the May events included the PhD Networkshops organized by Philipp Meyer-Doyle (INSEAD) and Florence Honore (U Wisconsin-Madison) where senior panelists gave feedback to late-stage STR PhD students and post-docs as they are preparing for the job market. A huge thank you to the panelists for your time and advice in supporting these young scholars for their future careers in the field of Strategic Management: Michael Bikard, Linus Dahlander, Giada Di Stefano, Kenneth Huang, Tobias Kretschmer, Bala Vissa, Heli Wang, Pavel Zhelyakov, Donald Bergh, Felipe Csaszar, J.P. Eggers, Aline Gatignon, Jiao Luo, and Atul Nerkar. 

If you missed the other May events organized by STR you will find them as per usual on the STR Youtube channel.

June starts with another STR Impact and Relevance event on June 4th at 11AM ET on the topic of “publishing phenomenon-based research in strategic management”. The event is hosted and organized by Koen Heimericks (U Warwick) and Fabrice Lumineau (U Hong Kong) and will feature Aseem Kaul, Greg Fisher, Jonathan Doh, and Sue Cohen.

We host a second STR Impact and Relevance event on June 27th at 11AM ET on the topic of how STR scholars can collect primary impactful data. The event is hosted and organized by Florence Honore (U Wisconsin-Madison) and will feature Michael Leiblein,
Elena Novelli, Tim Ott, Henry Sauermann, and Margarethe Wieserma.

On June 28th, the Membership Engagement Committee of STR is organizing an online student-only conference open to any STR division PhD student who submits a full paper by the registration deadline. There is no review process aside from a quick check that the paper is an STR research paper suitable for discussants. By submitting a paper, you agree to attend the conference and serve as a discussant for two other student papers. You will be matched into a research topic track to ensure the highest quality feedback. The deadline for signing up is June 7th.

You will find more information about these events including how to sign up on the STR homepage: https://str.aom.org/home

On May 23rd and May 28th Philipp Meyer-Doyle (INSEAD) and Florence Honoré (U Wisconsin-Madison) are hosting the annual “STRonger Together Networkshops”. These workshops are a series of online workshops for late-stage PhD students, post-doc or equivalent, i.e., those who expect to be on the job market next academic year (2024-25). The workshops will last two hours and each student is matched with two senior discussants. The organizers have a great set of discussants lined up: Michael Bikard, Linus Dahlander, Giada Di Stefano, Kenneth Huang, Tobias Kretschmer, Bala Vissa, Heli Wang, Pavel Zhelyakov, Donald Bergh, Felipe Csaszar, J.P.
