About AMLE

Academy of Management Learning & Education (AMLE) is rated as 4* in the UK CABS 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.

Catering

Refreshments and lunch will be provided. The Department of Organisation, Work and Leadership (OWL) at Queen’s Business School generously sponsored catering and dinner for a limited number of participants. 

Registration

There is no registration fee, but participants are responsible for arranging their own travel and accommodation. Registration, submission of full paper, and commitment to attend are required for all participants wishing to attend both parts of the PDW.

Submission deadline: 1 July 2025

Requirements

Full papers (rather than abstracts) that fit the aim and scope of AMLE are considered for this PDW. Submissions should comply with AMLE style guidelines. Prior FTEs 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 main parts. Part 1 comprises a general introduction to AMLE. The main focus is on writing manuscripts that advance our theoretical understanding of MLE phenomena for the research article and essay sections of the journal. This first part of the workshop is open to all interested participants. Part 2 is focused on supporting and advising researchers, with current work-in-progress, on how to develop and refine their papers with submission to AMLE in mind. Those wishing to participate in part two should note the requirements listed above.

Submission

Clearly mark the subject line as: PDW Submission at Queen’s Business School. Your submission must have a cover page that includes: the author name(s) and affiliation(s); three to four keywords; and an email address for the lead author. An abstract of up to 200 words should be provided on the first page of the paper. Please note:

  • Agree to your paper being discussed in a small group with other participants, as arranged by the workshop facilitators, and be willing and able to provide a short (5-minute maximum) overview of your paper to others in the discussion group.
  • Commit to attending the whole workshop if your submission is accepted.

You can still attend and participate if you do not have work to discuss in Part 2. Note, however, that preference will be given to authors that submit papers. Email amle@aom.org  to confirm. As with paper submissions, let us know by 1 July 2025 if you wish to register without submitting work for Part 2.
