CfP: JIBS Paper Development Workshop

The Seventh Annual Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) Paper Development Workshop (PDW) will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday, June 26, 2010, as part of the pre-conference program for the AIB annual meetings. The purpose of the workshop is to provide junior scholars with developmental feedback on their current research projects in international business studies. We invite original papers from junior faculty members who have not previously published in JIBS. In particular, we hope to attract papers from scholars (1) who are located in universities in emerging economies or in universities that offer limited support for international business research, or (2) who are trained in other disciplines (e.g., political science, organizational behavior, sociology) but interested in conducting international business research.

We are expecting two types of submissions, full research papers and paper ideas. Papers and ideas should be submitted using the upload site. Research papers must be less than 10,000 words in length, and follow the JIBS Style Guide. Paper ideas must be no more than 3,000 words in length and include a theoretical framework, propositions, and proposed research design. The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2010.
