74: Geopolitics in International Management Research: Strengthening Theoretical and Empirical Approaches (10144)

Geopolitics represents rapidly growing research areas in business and management research, with numerous empirical and conceptual articles devoted to the topic. If you are working on related subjects and seeking opportunities to engage with leading experts in this field, the Geopolitics in Business Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is here for you!

The PDW will be held at the 2024 Academy of Management meeting, sponsored by the International Management division of the Academy. It consists of four themed speeches, an active panel, and small-group table discussions. Speakers and panelists are outstanding scholars in the field, including Michael Witt, Gerhard Schnyder, Ari Van Assche, Srividya Jandhyala, Jing Li, Marie-Ann Betschinger, and Olivier Bertrand.

While the themed speeches and the interactive panel are open to all members, the round- table sessions will focus on pre-selected proposals. Selected participants will receive detailed feedback on their proposals and research ideas from both the invited speakers and panelists, while also having the opportunity to build networks with scholars holding similar research interests.

To apply for the round-table sessions, please submit a 2-page research summary using the Qualtrics link by June 10th, 2024. The summary should clearly articulate the research questions, clarify its contribution to the literature, briefly introduce the methodological approach and the preliminary findings. We welcome research in any stage of development. Submitted proposals will undergo a review process by the PDW organizing committee. Accepted applicants will be notified by Mid July. The round tables will be assigned based on the applicants’ preference and the match of their research interests.

We look forward to receiving your proposals and engaging in fruitful discussions at the Geopolitics in Business Professional Development Workshop. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at qingqing.chen@utdallas.edu and jesper.edman@waseda.jp.
