The Editors of the Academy of Management Discoveries (AMD) – the journal for
empirical exploration in management and organizations – invite submissions for
its first US-based regional paper development workshop. The purpose of this
workshop is to help authors develop their ideas for papers that may ultimately
be submitted for review in AMD.
About the Workshop
This half-day event will include presentations by AMD’s editorial team and AMD
authors as well as roundtable, hands-on paper development discussions.
Presentation Topics
- Abductive reasoning, plausibility and the distinctive nature of AMD papers
- Surfacing phenomenon: Phenomenology and scale development research in AMD
- How to publish experimental research in AMD
- Using big data and data exploration as a basis for theoretical insight
- Is there a role for induction in AMD
Roundtable Paper Development Sessions
- Up to 4 papers presented, discussed and developed at each table
- Each table discussion led by a current or founding AMD Associate Editor
- Tables open to both paper authors and non-author participants
- Discussions will focus on framing, methodological rigor, empirical follow-up, interpretation, and specifying directions for down-the-road theorizing

REGISTRATION and Application to the Workshops
Link to register and/or upload your extended abstract.
- As space is limited, preference will be given first to those whose papers are being discussed in the roundtables. Additional spots will be allocated on the basis of first come, first served.
- Those who wish to have their paper reviewed and discussed should submit an extended abstract (between 5 and 10 pages of text) of their papers or paper ideas by October 24 Abstracts will be accepted on a competitive basis.
- The abstract should provide a synopsis of the research question, its relevance and significance, a statement relating to the limited ability of extant concepts and/or theory to provide a coherent response to that question, the empirical approach, and the implications of the findings for down-the-road theorizing.
- Those who wish to participate in the workshop without submitting a paper for review and discussion need only register. (Select “No” on the form)
Please contact Peter Bamberger (peterb@post.tau.ac.il) with questions and inquiries.
