    Join our PDW at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting 2024 in Chicago:

    Do you have an idea for a theory paper but aren't sure where to start, or a theory draft that's not moving forward? Do you worry about finding a high-impact journal that will publish your theory piece? Writing and publishing theoretical work can be challenging, and high-impact journals that publish theory pieces may seem scarce. If this resonates, this Professional Development Workshop (PDW), Demystifying Theory Development and Publication: How to Write a Theory Paper and Where to Submit It, is for you! This session, which will be held on Friday August 9, 2024 11:30AM – 1:00PM at the 2024 Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting in Chicago, will provide insights on developing and refining ideas for theoretical work, planning and writing the paper, navigating the review process, and publishing in various theory outlets. 

    In the first half of the session, editors Sherry Thatcher, Brian Boyd, and Lamar Pierce from Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, and Organization Science, respectively, will discuss a range of topics related to publishingthe role of  theory papers in their respective journals. During the second half, participants will engage in roundtable discussions with authors of theory papers recently published in a variety of top management journals.
