Fourteenth Annual JIBS Paper Development Workshop
Sunday, July 2, 2017


CALL FOR PAPERS


Sponsored by D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University

The Fourteenth Annual Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) Paper
Development Workshop (PDW) will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from
8:30am to 1:30pm on Sunday, July 2, 2017, as part of the pre-conference
program for the Academy of International Business (AIB) annual meetings. The
PDW is the most extensive of the various JIBS outreach activities conducted
by the JIBS editorial team. Organized by Alain Verbeke (JIBS
Editor-in-Chief) and Stav Fainshmidt (Florida International University), the
PDW involves several JIBS Editors and Editorial Review Board (ERB) Members,
and is sponsored by the D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern
University.

The purpose of the PDW is to provide junior scholars with developmental
feedback on their current research projects in international business
studies. While we hope that many of these papers will be eventually
submitted to JIBS, the purpose of the PDW is broader: to improve the quality
of IB research and bring new scholars into the IB field. We invite original
papers from junior scholars who have not previously published in JIBS. In
particular, we hope to attract papers from scholars who are located in
universities in emerging and developing economies.

The PDW will be structured to provide extensive feedback to authors whose
research papers have been accepted by the workshop organizers. The program
will have three components. First, a 90-minutes introductory session (8:30am
- 10:00am) led by members of the JIBS editorial team will discuss the
manuscript review process, and various topics relevant to authors seeking to
publish in JIBS or other outlets in the ecosystem of international business
journals. Second, during a 120-minutes main session (10:15am - 12:15pm),
groups of two authors (with substantively related papers) will be paired
with groups of 2 JIBS Editors/ERB Members, whereby each individual paper
will receive attention from each paired Editor/ERB Member for two times
thirty minutes. The main focus will be on how to improve the papers
discussed, so as to increase the probability of acceptance by a journal in
the ecosystem of IB journals. Third, during lunch-time (12:30pm-1:30pm), two
JIBS Editors/ERB Members will provide insight into their personal
publication strategies and pathways for sustained, successful publishing.

Only a limited number of manuscripts will be accepted for the PDW.
Participants will be invited based on the quality and potential intellectual
contribution of their submitted work. Papers should be submitted through the
JIBS Workshop Submission System located at
<http://meetings.aib.msu.edu/jibs/2017/>
http://meetings.aib.msu.edu/jibs/2017/. Please note that each applicant
should submit only one paper. The deadline for submissions is January 30th,
2017 in the authors' time zone. Submitted papers must be less than 10,000
words in length, and follow the JIBS Style Guide (
<http://l.jibs.net/JIBSStyleGuide> http://l.jibs.net/JIBSStyleGuide).

Participants will be notified about the acceptance of their submissions no
later than February 28th, 2017 and will need to confirm their participation
in the PDW by March 15th, 2017.

Please note that authors will need to register for the AIB conference in
order to participate in the JIBS PDW. Also note that Junior Faculty
Consortium and the Doctoral Consortium run in parallel with the JIBS PDW,
therefore it will not be possible to participate in the JIBS PDW if you are
participating in any of the other aforementioned events.

Please address any questions to: Stav Fainshmidt ( <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

University.
