This workshop is aimed at supporting the participants in their efforts to finalize papers for submission to leading management journals like Management and Organizational Review (MOR). The workshop is primarily targeted at scholars with a PhD degree.

When submitting a paper, the applicant commits to participating in the workshop if the application is accepted. The papers will then be evaluated as to its potential for publication in MOR (or some other leading management journal). The applicants will receive information on whether or not the paper has been accepted for inclusion in the workshop on April 10 at the latest. Once an applicant has been accept, the paper will be sent to one or two mentors who will prepare comments on how to further develop the paper. The mentors will consist of a team of scholars who have been successful publishing in leading international journals.

The workshop will be structured as follows. First, there will be a presentation by Professor Anne Tsui (editor in chief, MOR). Second, the participants will be divided into groups in each of which three papers will be discussed in a 2h 15 min session. Towards the end of the session, the participants will caucus for some 10-15 minutes to compile a list of ‘takeaways’ to be reported back to the whole group of participants. Finally, these reports will be presented to and discussed by the participants.
