For Authors
Submit ManuscriptWe have the following types of submissions for our conference.
** Full Paper**
A completed paper that is the author is preparing for publication. It might be a work in progress, work for which you are still collecting developmental feedback. It might also be a “bottom drawer” paper you are trying to revive. All full papers will be automatically considered for best paper awards.
A subcategory of “Full Papers” is a student paper. One author (ideally the first author) must be a student and must attend. Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral learners are welcome. “Best Student Paper” award(s) will be selected from this category. Sponsoring faculty members should encourage institutional or private support of students whose papers are accepted. Submissions should include a statement that the student will attend the conference. Paper are a subset of this.
Symposia or Workshop
Either panel or presenter format. Proposals that cross disciplines and include multiple institutions are highly encouraged. A panel or workshop presentation is allotted extended time on the program, so the proposal should be well-detailed and show potential added value for conference attendees. Submissions should include a 3-5 page proposal and a statement that all contributors intend to register for and attend the conference.
Sample ideas: Best Practices, Using Social Media in Management Education; Preparing for the Doctoral Oral Defense; Conducting a Peer Review (Conference or Journal); Early/Mid-career Faculty Consortium.
Symposia and workshops are not double-blind reviewed, but are selected by the Program Chair for inclusion in the program. All authors involved in developing accepted symposia and workshops should plan to attend the conference as presenters.
Idea Incubator
A fresh research idea or research that is not yet completed. The idea incubator gives the author an opportunity to present the topic and receive feedback from peers in a more informal setting.
Submissions should include a 250-500 word summary of the proposal for the incubator session.
