Dear Colleagues, We are glad to announce that the International Corporate Governance Society (ICGS) will offer a doctoral workshop this October at its 4th annual conference in Shanghai, China. This doctoral workshop is intended for promising doctoral students who are in their third-fourth year of the PhD program. The workshop welcomes students working in corporate governance from every discipline (e.g. accounting, economics, finance, management, sociology) and from every country. The workshop is open to doctoral students with different theoretical and methodological traditions. Ideal candidates have already started their dissertation and are close to submit the first paper to a conference or a journal. During the workshop, students will have the opportunity to present and discuss their research paper, and to meet and interact with peers and distinguished scholars. Objective The ICGS Doctoral Workshop has several objectives: 1. Offering a place where students can present and discuss their paper; 2. Providing feedbacks on paper presentation by peers and distinguished scholars; 3. Promoting the development of an international and interdisciplinary community of young and distinguished scholars working on corporate governance; favoring meeting and interaction among scholars from different institutions, countries and disciplines.
