Workshop
Workshop

Registration
Deadline: June 10, 2021
Optional Abstract
Submission Deadline: June 17, 2021
(please note: registered attendees can submit a one-page research abstract to [log in to unmask] by 17th June at the latest for review and comments by the Mentors. Abstract submission is optional to all registered attendees).
Who is This Event For?
This workshop aims to benefit all AIB members with an interest in sustainability-related research, particularly those in a relatively early stage of their careers (i.e., PhD students, junior and mid-career academics). Research and publishing on topics pertaining to sustainability have become increasingly prevalent in International Business (IB). Much of sustainability research, however, is by nature interdisciplinary and has not yet become part of the IB mainstream. Thus, this workshop will offer useful knowledge and experience from well-established IB scholars (as workshop facilitators) in terms of identifying suitable topics, crafting papers, and/or selecting the most appropriate publication outlets for their research within the IB domain.
How is This Event Structured?
This workshop consists of two parts. One part of the workshop offers participants an opportunity to get general research and publication mentoring advice and suggestions from the workshop facilitators through an interactive conversation. The other part of the workshop offers an opportunity to those participants who would like advice that is specific to a research idea or project they are working on from the workshop facilitators.
