FOURTH ANNUAL UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH BUSINESS SCHOOL
PAPER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP ON
ORGANISATIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE
Sponsored by the Organization Development & Change and Organization & Management Theory Divisions of the Academy of Management, and the Centre for Strategic Leadership at the University of Edinburgh Business School
To be held at:
University of Edinburgh Business School,
March 6, 2017
Dear all;
Following previous successful events held in 2014, 2015 and 2016, we are very pleased to be able to announce that the fourth annual paper development workshop on organisational and institutional change will take place on March 6, 2017. 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 discussants include Shaz Ansari (University of Cambridge), Royston Greenwood (University of Alberta and University of Edinburgh), Candace Jones (University of Edinburgh), Tom Lawrence (University of Oxford), Kamal Munir (University of Cambridge), 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, 2017. Full papers will be required by February 23, 2017.
Scholarships
The generous support of the ODC and OMT Divisions of the Academy of Management has allowed us to offer four $500 scholarships to help defray expenses for some doctoral students. Successful applicants to the workshop will automatically be considered for a scholarship: no separate application is required.
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 ODC and OMT Divisions of the Academy of Management. The conference will consist of around 40 young faculty, student participants and senior colleagues who will discuss papers and offer developmental advice. The atmosphere is expected to be collegial and informal, but centred on progressing working papers with the objective of getting them published in leading journals. There will also be a panel at which our discussants will provide insight into the publication process drawing on their experience as authors, editorial board members, and editors.
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. Participants are expected to attend for the whole day. If participants wish to extend their trip to enjoy Edinburgh and the surrounding area, we can help with advice and arrangements.
