Doctoral Student Pre-Conference Consortium
15th International Conference on Corporate Reputation, Brand, Identity
and Competitiveness:
“Navigating the Reputation Economy”
Tuesday, 17 May 2011, 1000-1600 (10am-4pm)
The Roosevelt New Orleans, New Orleans, USA
We welcome doctoral students to apply to the pre-conference consortium
of the 15th International Conference on Corporate Reputation, Brand,
Identity, and Competitiveness. The consortium aims to provide doctoral
students with an opportunity to discuss their research on these topics
with senior academics and to build relationships with other students
from around the world. Since the consortium was first offered in
Copenhagen in 2000, we have offered a high student-faculty ratio of 3:1.
We encourage participants to present original material in its
developmental stages. In particular, we especially seek to help doctoral
candidates develop their dissertation research in this forum. That is,
we want to help you refine your research questions, strengthen your
theoretical arguments, and improve your research design in a discussion
format. If you wish to present your research, then please apply to the
regular conference. All pertinent perspectives, topics and
methodological approaches are welcome. Junior faculty candidates
interested in this research domain are also welcome to participate,
space permitting.
Consortium participants are required to submit a research abstract by 1
March 2011. The abstract should present the research question you are
asking, the theories and methods you plan to use to address the research
question, and the contribution you expect your findings to make to
knowledge in the field. The Consortium Committee will review submitted
abstracts and provide developmental suggestions. Your final abstract
should include your theoretical context, focused research questions, and
a proposed research design. Approved abstracts will be circulated to all
participants in early May. Each participant will be asked to prepare a
written critique of two abstracts before the conference. During the
consortium, each participant will have 20-30 minutes to discuss their
proposal with fellow students and experienced faculty researchers from
around the world.
To pre-register, contact the Consortium Committee via email
(
conference@reputationinstitute.com) and include a provisional title for
your abstract and your University affiliation. We will accommodate
registrants on a first-come, first-serve basis. The deadline for
registering is 30 March 2010. Abstracts must be submitted by that date,
or your reserved space will be released. The consortium is limited to 16
participants to ensure everyone of quality participation. To be fair, a
person can only participate in the consortium once, so you should use
your best judgment in choosing which year to participate.
