About AMLE

Academy of Management Learning & Education (AMLE) belongs to the portfolio of journals by the Academy of Management along with AMJ, AMP, AMP, Annals and AMD. AMLE is rated as 4* in the UK AJG list and A* in the Australian Business Deans’ Council list of journals.

AMLE publishes theory-driven studies on management learning, management education, or the business of business schools. For empirical papers, this means that where the research sample is composed of learners, they are higher education students in business school(s) or school(s) of management, or they are managers learning in executive contexts. Where the sample is composed of faculty, then they are situated within a business school(s) or school(s) of management.

Requirements

Short papers (approximately 3,000 words) that fit the aim and scope of AMLE are considered for this PDW. Prior editorials can serve as guideposts to clarify AMLE’s focus and content areas (Lindebaum, 2024; Hibbert, in Rockmann et al., 2021; Hibbert et al., 2023; Vince and Hibbert, 2018; Caza et al., 2024).

Workshop Structure

This workshop has two parts:

• Part 1 (Day 1) comprises a general introduction to AMLE. The presentation will focus on writing manuscripts that advance our theoretical understanding about management learning and education (MLE) phenomena for the Research and Reviews and the Essay sections of the journal. This first part of the workshop is open to all interested participants, including those who do not submit a short paper.
• Part 2 (Day 2) is focused on supporting and advising researchers, with current work-in-progress, how to develop and refine their papers with submission to AMLE in mind. Those wishing to participate in part two must submit short papers as mentioned above.

Submission

Send the submission in Word or PDF format to amle@aom.org. Submissions should comply with AMLE style guidelines. Clearly mark the subject line as: PDW Submission at IIM Bangalore. Your submission must have a cover page that includes: the author name(s) and affiliation(s); three-four keywords; your short paper (~3,000 words); and an email address for the lead author.
