Call for Papers: AIM Early Career Peer Workshop: Crafting Qualitative Research

Organisers: AIM Management Practices Fellows - David Denyer, Markus Perkmann and Jennifer Whyte

Royal Geographical Society, London: 9.30am - 5.30pm

This is an intensive full-day workshop giving early career researchers an opportunity to gain feedback on their written work before journal submission. The goal is help you refine and improve your work through presentation and discussion.

The workshop is open to those working on qualitative management research in a UK university. The workshop is designed for researchers who have completed their PhD within the last five years and are now beginning to build their academic career.

All attendees will give a short 15 minute presentations based on a recent working paper, and will receive detailed comments from a leading international management scholar and an AIM Management Practices Fellow.
Discussants will help you to develop the paper, looking for potential outlets, theoretical development and general points about clarity, structure and format. Professors Royston Greenwood (Alberta), Tim Morris (Oxford), Julia Balogun (Lancaster) and Nelson Phillips (Imperial) will be among the discussants.

There is an opportunity to join the Organization Theory Research Group at the University of Cambridge, the next day on February 25th, please indicate if you would like to do so in your application.
