    1) Manuscript Development Workshop: (2-4pm)

    Who is this for? This workshop is aimed at ISBEE conference participants seeking
    to publish their work in quality international journals. Stage of career is not important,
    a desire to develop international quality publications is essential.

    What do I have to do? To apply for the workshop, electronically submit a full
    working paper (4000-6000 words) to the co-chair Laura Spence at
    Laura.Spence@brunel.ac.uk by 30th April 2008. The paper could be one intended for
    presentation at the ISBEE conference but this is not at all a requirement. You will
    hear whether you have been accepted by the end of May 2008.

    What will the workshop entail? If your application is successful, you will have the
    opportunity to discuss your paper face-to-face with a mentor from a group of scholars
    serving as reviewers and editorial board members of some of the world's leading
    journals publishing research in the domain of ethics as it relates to business,
    management and economics. Hence you will get the opportunity to explore how your
    own manuscript might be developed to meet the publication standards of
    international journals

    What does it cost? This workshop is only available to those who have registered for
    the ISBEE Conference, 15-18 July 2008. The workshop is sponsored by the Social
    Issues in Management Division of the Academy of Management. There is no
    additional charge to participants.
    The workshop itself will last 2 hours, and will be followed by a more formal 'Meet the
    Editors' session.

    (Manchester University, UK), Joanne Ciulla (University of Richmond, USA), Wesley

    2) Meet the Editors Workshop (4-5pm)

    Who is this for? Available to all ISBEE conference participants who pre-register by
    30th April 2008. Participants in the Manuscript Development Workshop will
    automatically be registered.

    Meet the Editors Workshop to Laura Spence: laura.spence@brunel.ac.uk

    research.

    interactive Q&A session among the attendees and the panellists
