THIRD ANNUAL UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH BUSINESS SCHOOL

PAPER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP ON

ORGANISATIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE

Sponsored by the Organization & Management Theory Division of the Academy of Management, Academy of Management Journal, and the Centre for Strategic Leadership University of Edinburgh Business School

To be held at:

University of Edinburgh Business School,

Following previous successful events held in 2014 and 2015, we are very pleased to be able to announce that the third annual paper development workshop on organisational and institutional change will take place on March 7 2016. As previously, this workshop offers an opportunity for scholars to develop their ongoing work related to organisational and/or institutional change. The workshop will be developmental - each paper will have a senior scholar as a discussant. Confirmed participants include Royston Greenwood (University of Alberta and University of Edinburgh), Jennifer Howard-Grenville (University of Cambridge), Tom Lawrence (University of Oxford), Tim Morris (University of Oxford), Nelson Phillips (Imperial College) and John Amis (University of Edinburgh). Authors will also receive feedback from peers with similar research interests. It should be of special interest for colleagues recently graduated with a Ph.D., or doctoral students with quite well developed manuscripts; scholars more advanced in their careers are also welcome to attend. Selection of papers will be based on an abstract of 500 words.  The deadline for submission of abstracts is January 6, 2016. Full papers will be required by February 26, 2016.

Logistics and Support to Participants

The Centre for Strategic Leadership at the University of Edinburgh Business School is pleased to host and jointly organize this workshop with the OMT Division of the Academy of Management and the Academy of Management Journal. The conference will consist of around 35-40 young faculty, student participants and senior colleagues who will discuss papers and offer developmental advice. The atmosphere is expected to be collegial, informal, but centered on progressing working papers with the objective of getting them published in leading journals. Members of the Academy of Management Journal's editorial team will also provide insight into the publication process. There is no conference fee, and no charge for lunch, coffee breaks and closing reception. Participants must make their own travel arrangements and pay for accommodation - we will provide recommendations of where to stay and hotels with a negotiated preferential rate. If participants wish to extend their trip to enjoy Edinburgh and the surrounding area, we can help with advice and arrangements.
