Paper Development Workshop for Strategy-as-Practice Research
Saturday, September 20, 2014
CALL FOR PAPERS
Submission Deadline: August 31, 2014
The Strategy Practice Interest Group (IG) is pleased to offer a research-focused Paper Development
Workshop (PDW) for Strategy-as-Practice Research in Madrid, Spain, from 10:00am to 4:00pm on
September 20, 2014. The PDW is organized by the Strategy Practice Interest Group as part of the preconference program for the Strategic Management Society (SMS) annual meetings but is open to all
members of the society.
The purpose of this workshop is to share experiences on how to publish research internationally. The
workshop is divided into three interactive sessions where participants will give and receive feedback
about manuscripts and papers. To prepare for these sessions, papers are grouped in terms of similar
themes and everyone in the group is asked to write a one-page feedback on the other group
members' papers. In the first session, participants will be set in pairs to give each other feedback
about the paper. In the second session, Strategy-as-Practice papers that received an R&R or those
that are in the revise and resubmit stage will be discussed. At the end of the session, common issues
and solutions related to paper writing will be drawn together. In this session reviewers and editors of
A journals will join us for Q&A.
The PDW will provide feedback to authors with more advanced research papers, and to researchers
who are still in the process of designing their studies, on strategy-as-practice-related topics with the
purpose of getting published in accredited journals. Furthermore, it will provide the opportunity to
meet journal editors and senior faculty members in the field. This year we have the honor that the
following faculty members will be discussants in the PDW:
