AJBS 2023 Call for Papers**July 5-6, 2023 – Warsaw, Poland**Submission Deadline**: January 24, 2023* AJBS will hold its *35**th **Annual Meeting *in cooperation with the Academy of International Business (AIB) in *Warsaw, Poland*. The combined conference will run from July 5–9, 2023. The *AJBS Conference is July 5–6, 2023 *and the AIB conference is July 6–9, 2023. The *Program Chair *for this year's conference is *Mario Henrique Ogasavara *from ESPM Sao Paulo, Brazil. *Why should you participate in both (AJBS and AIB) conferences? *With one trip, you can attend both the most prestigious professional meeting in international business and an intimate conference that focuses specifically on Japanese business issues. The AJBS conference provides additional opportunities for journal publication and best paper awards, as detailed below. *About AJBS* From its genesis as an informal network in 1982, AJBS was officially organized and held its first conference at the Wharton Business School in January 1987. AJBS holds annual meetings at venues worldwide, providing an opportunity to discuss current developments and research on a range of business, public policy, and teaching issues related to Japan. Papers for the AJBS conference presentation are double-blind peer-reviewed. Accepted papers are considered for publication in the journal, Asian Business & Management (ABM). AJBS welcomes scholars, students, and practitioners from all disciplinary backgrounds interested in Japanese business issues. *Submission Types* AJBS welcomes two types of submissions: *research papers *and *panel proposals*. *Research Paper* Earlier stage papers may be submitted for inclusion in *interactive sessions*. Later stage, fully developed papers should be submitted for *competitive sessions*. Please note that the final assignment to interactive or competitive sessions depends on reviewer inputs (blind-review process) and other considerations. Authors may submit papers to either or both conferences. AJBS will consider submissions that have already been presented elsewhere but not published in a journal or book. Authors are encouraged to consider submitting a paper tailored to the specialized audience at the AJBS conference as well as a modified version appropriate for a wider audience at AIB. As done in past years, we also plan to have one session run by AJBS at the AIB conference. *Panel proposal* Panels should focus on topics relevant to Japanese business. In addition, we welcome issues related to what the rest of the world can learn from Japanese business. The panelists must have appropriate expertise or background to inform the proposed topic. Panel submissions are not blind-review. *Formatting Instructions* Please note that for *ALL SUBMISSIONS*: - Must be written in *English*. - Must follow the JIBS Style Guide <https://ajbs.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aa7df18b8c2cb52aa49cdd265&id=bd5ac4414c&e=b65fdab075> . - We kindly ask you to upload your paper in *MS-Word format *(if MS-Word format is not available, please use a basic text format that can be easily converted to MS-Word.

Call for Nominations of Papers and Books: 2023 Responsible Research in Management Award* *Submission Deadline: January 31, 2023* Attention all researchers: The Academy of Management invites nominations (or self-nominations) for the 2023 Responsible Research in Management Award (RRMA) by January 31, 2023. The RRMA recognizes published research that yields credible results, guides practice, and benefits society. Empirical research published since 2019 is eligible for the 2023 award. Since its founding in 2018, this award has assembled a canon of “responsible research” – 13 books and 70 articles that are academically credible, societally useful, and have helped to make the world a better place. Although there are incessant calls for research that is relevant to practice, RRMA is the only award for socially valuable research whose selection signals affirmation by practicing executives that the study’s findings are actionable. *View the Call for Nominations here:* 2023 Responsible Research in Management Award <https://ajbs.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aa7df18b8c2cb52aa49cdd265&id=2a5a006f21&e=b65fdab075> *Celebrate management research that moves the world.* We hope you enjoyed browsing this content.
