Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the organization of the 5^th SKEMA KTO Paper Development Workshop for doctoral students and young researchers, which will be held at SKEMA Business School in Sophia Antipolis (French Riviera), June 15-18, 2016.

The purpose of the workshop is to develop the publication strategies and the research skills of promising scholars in the fields of strategy, international business, organization or entrepreneurship. To allow for interactive discussions and feedback between participants in a friendly environment, the number of participants will be limited to 20-25.

Participants will attend seminars conducted by Gautam Ahuja (University of Michigan), Olivier Bertrand (SKEMA Business School), Stefano Brusoni (ETH Zurich), Lars Frederiksen (Aarhus University), Tomi Laamanen (University of St Gallen), and Giovanni Valentini (IESE Business School).
