CfP: JIBS Paper Development Workshop

The Sixth Annual JIBS Paper Development Workshop (PDW) will be held in San Diego, California, USA from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 27, 2009, as part of the pre-conference program for the AIB annual meetings. The PDW organizer is Laszlo Tihanyi (Texas A&M University). The Workshop is being sponsored by the Texas A&M and South Carolina CIBERs and the Academy of International Business.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with detailed feedback on their work prior to submission to the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS). Last year, almost 40 JIBS editors and members of the Consulting Editors Board (CEB) and Editorial Review Board (ERB) participated.

We are inviting original papers from junior faculty members who have not previously published in JIBS. In particular, we hope to attract papers from junior scholars who are located in universities that offer limited support for international business research, trained in other disciplines (e.g., political science, organizational behavior, sociology) but are interested in conducting international business research, or are located in universities in emerging or transition economies. The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2009. For more information please see the website.
