Call for Submissions:
 
Association of Japanese Business Studies Paper Development Workshop
 
The Association of Japanese Business Studies (AJBS) will hold a special
Paper Development Workshop, on June 23rd, 2011, in Nagoya, Japan. This
special PDW is being held in conjunction with the AJBS annual conference
(June 24th-25th), which immediately precedes the annual meeting of the
Academy of International Business (AIB).
 
The primary purpose of the AJBS PDW will be to provide advice to scholars
who are currently undertaking research in the broad area of Japanese
business and who aim to publish their research in international journals.
Specifically, the PDW will offer researchers the opportunity to receive
feedback on their work, through round-table sessions with established and
internationally active scholars, as well as insights into international
publishing, methods and topics, through panel discussions and presentations.
In addition, the PDW aims to promote and strengthen research ties between
Japan-based and international researchers, and to stimulate discussion on
current topics of interest to scholars in the field of Japanese business and
management.
 
The planned structure of the AJBS PDW is as follows[1] <#_ftn1> . The
morning session will focus on presentations by leading scholars, addressing
various topics including publishing strategies, research agendas, and
methodologies. In the afternoon, participants and senior faculty will split
up into smaller groups to discuss current reseach topics and to exchange
feedback on submitted papers and research ideas.

Ph.D. candidates that have not previously published in international
journals. Submissions may be of two types: shorter research proposals

research proposals should include specification of a research question,
literature review and hypotheses, research design and methods, and expected

review, data and analysis, references, etc. Any topic or empirical focus is
welcome, as long as it involves management-related issues of relevance to
Japan and/or Japanese companies. Papers do NOT have to pertain to
international business, but they must be in English.
