SMS Competitive Strategy Junior Faculty and Paper Development Workshop
Saturday, October 11, 2008
1:00 pm-6:00 pm
The Competitive Strategy Interest Group is offering a research focused
junior faculty and paper development workshop at the 2008 Strategic
Management Society meetings in Cologne, Germany. Although all members are
invited to participate, preference will be given to junior faculty who
defended their dissertations after September 2003.
This workshop will include panel discussions and breakout sessions. Senior
faculty panels will discuss critical aspects of the research and publication
process, ways to craft a successful research program and future directions
in competitive strategy research. A breakout session will provide
opportunities for participants to discuss and receive feedback on their work
in an informal setting.
The co-chairs of the faculty panel are Michael Leiblein (Ohio State) and
Xavier Martin (Tilburg). The distinguished faculty panelists include Phil
Bromiley (UC-Irvine), Javier Gimeno (INSEAD), Don Hambrick (Penn State),
Will Mitchell (Duke) and Margie Peteraf (Dartmouth). The senior faculty
panel may be rounded out to reflect the interests of consortium attendees.
Please note that space will be limited in order to ensure a high level of
interaction among all participants. In order to participate, individuals
should email one *five-page abstract* proposal to Nienke Boelhouwer
(
nienke@uvt.nl) by *July 31, 2008* as attachment in a message with the
header Competitive Strategy Workshop Application. In the body of this
e-mail please include a statement committing to attend the workshop if
accepted, permission to distribute submitted works to session participants,
and a commitment to prepare a one-page review of other papers in your
assigned breakout session.
Applicants will be informed by August 20, 2008 whether their proposal was
accepted. The workshop organizers will group accepted proposals with others
that are similar in topic and/or methodology and distribute them to
conference participants. Prior to the workshop, participants in each group
will prepare written comments and feedback on the other papers in their
group. They will exchange feedback during the paper development portion of
the workshop, with each group's discussion being facilitated by one or more
experienced scholar(s) familiar with the topic or method in question.
