International Management Division

DOCTORAL STUDENT CONSORTIUM 2009

Saturday, August 8, 2009

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 15, 2009

The International Management Division will hold a doctoral consortium at the 2009 Annual Meetings of the Academy of Management in Chicago from 8.00am to 5.30pm on Saturday, August 8, 2009.

This doctoral consortium is for advanced doctoral students interested in international management research who have already made substantial advances in their dissertation. The consortium will provide opportunities for struc­tured discussion and informal interaction between doctoral students and faculty panelists on research, publish­ing, and career development. Concurrent sessions will be devoted to thesis development where partici­pants will have an opportunity to present and discuss their dissertation research with faculty members.

The doctoral consortium faculty will be awarding up to five Most Promising Dissertation Proposals.  These awards have a monetary value of $250 and will be given based on both the written one page proposal submitted to the consortium and the student's presentation of their proposal. The awards will be presented at the IM Division Business Meeting.

During lunch time, Susan Madsen and Jim Davis will facilitate a workshop on scholarly ethics within the Academy, focusing on such topics as ethics in publishing, faculty ethics, and ethical dilemmas facing doctoral students. There will also be a joint session later in the afternoon (4.00pm to 5.30pm) with the Junior Faculty Consor­tium attendees where participants will meet the editors of leading journals in international management.
