Academy of Management Review - Idea Development Workshop

This idea development workshop (IDW) is geared toward early career researchers (e.g., Assistant Professors and Postdoctoral fellows) and PhD students who are interested in publishing in AMR. Although this IDW is open to anyone, preference will be shown to individuals from institutions based in Northern Ireland and the Northeast of England. The hope is that this workshop will help participants develop well-crafted manuscripts suitable for submission to AMR.  

Purpose and Agenda 

The workshop will be divided into two parts.

Part 1.

We will discuss general information about publishing in AMR, such as what makes a successful AMR paper, the main reasons that papers are rejected, and strategies for addressing the core challenges that Editors and reviewers see in rejected papers. We will also briefly discuss a set of exercises that authors can complete to help clarify the theoretical contribution represented by their ideas; these exercises, and a description of their value, are available in the pre-workshop activities reading.  

Part 2.

The second half of the workshop will entail roundtable discussions of theory ideas from the participants. We will match 4-5 participants with an Associate Editor or an Editorial Review Board member. These groups will discuss the participant ideas and provide the participant with insight into how to clarify the paper idea or move the idea forward. Participation in this part of the workshop is limited to 50 individuals. 

Registration

Registration is required for all participants and the deadline to register is April 18, 2022. To participate, please fill out the JotForm and submit a one-page proposal of your idea.
