The focus of this year's consortium will be on three things: publishing, publishing, and publishing! A first scholarly panel will address how to increase in general your likelihood of getting published focusing in particular on international business research outlets. A second scholarly panel will focus on how to write good theory, a key component to getting your research published. A third scholarly panel will address ways in which the methods you use can help uplift your manuscript and open more doors for you. Finally, you will get the chance to meet with the editors representing the leading journals in the field as they will present to you their journals and editorial policies.
You will also each get a chance to have a one on one conversations with one of the faculty participating in the consortium, get feedback on your own research and ask them about issues that are unique to your own situation and country, as promotion and tenure rules vary dramatically across the countries from which our members come from.
