Professional Development Workshop of the SIM-Division (Program Session #10403)

"Learn From the Experts about Publishing Social Issues

Research in Top General Management Journals"

<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> Conference 2005, Sunday 13 August 2005, 9am – 12noon, Venue:  Hilton Grand Salon B

This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is aimed at bringing together SIM members with highly successful SIM and non-SIM scholars to talk about publishing in journals outside those often considered to be specialty or niche journals in ethics and CSR.  In particular, we have assembled a team of scholars who have been successful publishing work related to ethics and/or CSR in the very best general management journals like AMJ, AMR, ASQ, JAP, HR, OS, Organization, and SMJ.  We will pair these experienced scholars with SIM members interested in exploring how their work might also be adapted to fit that broader management audience.

Why take part?
This workshop might be of interest for SIM scholars at all levels as it explores the potential of SIM research to be perceived and discussed by a broader audience beyond our niche. This would not only provide our field with more visibility and credibility but would also open the field to an influx of more cutting edge thinking from other management disciplines into our specialist field. Most notably this PDW is of interest for scholars of all age and experience with an interest in publishing beyond SIM-related specialist journals.

Structure of the PDW
The workshop will open with an initial set of comments to frame the issues and toss out some ideas for problems to be wrestled with during the workshop.  Then it will move to breakout workgroups, with one expert mentor and two participants per table.  Each participant will provide copies of a manuscript or detailed proposal-a specific project that the aspiring authors desire feedback on-to the mentor and the other participant (see below).  Each participant will get feedback from one mentor, and each participant will be familiar enough with the work of the other participant at the table so as to benefit from the mentor's insights about that second piece of work, as well, one a little less personal than the first.  Enrollment in the session will be limited, so as to ensure sufficient one-on-one interaction between participants and mentors.  In these two hour work sessions, participants and mentors will be able to dig deeply into the papers and proposals, and work to develop them to their fullest.  Toward the end of the session, each table pair of participants will then caucus for 15 minutes to compile a brief list of "takeaways" to be reported back to the group at large.  These final reports wrap up the session.
