We invite researchers studying aspects of organizational misconduct to participate in a paper development PDW at this year's Academy of Management.
Organizers
Purpose
This goal of this PDW will be a practical one, geared toward hands on development of participants' working papers. We have invited a team of senior scholars who have successfully published papers on misconduct and related topics in top management journals. We will pair these scholars with PDW participants interested in developing their working papers towards publication. A second goal of this PDW is to help build a community of scholars currently working on issues relating to organizational misconduct and set a foundation from which new collaborations might develop.
How to Participate
Interested scholars should submit drafts of papers to the organizers by June 1; in certain circumstances, detailed outlines will be acceptable. The goal will be to pair three to four papers/sets of collaborators to each senior mentor. The organizers will use their discretion to determine the applicability of papers for the symposium, with a view to selecting papers that focus most directly on misconduct at the organizational level.
The organizers will assign selected papers to senior scholars, as appropriate, who will act as mentors on the project and will prepare comments in advance of the AoM meetings. Participants will also receive the full papers of the other projects that have been paired with the same mentor, to encourage a fuller discussion of each project. To facilitate discussion, abstracts of all accepted papers will also be circulated among the full group of participants in advance of the session to encourage peer mentoring and in-depth discussion.
We are aiming for an intimate session of no more than 15 papers, and so encourage those interested to contact the organizers as soon as possible to secure their places. Please feel free to contact the organizers with any questions, or to directly submit your working papers or detailed outlines.
