• PhD candidates

• Future doctoral students

• DBA candidates

• Future DBA candidates

The consortium will be conducted in three languages: English, French, and Spanish.

• Constructive and structured feedback

• Theoretical and methodological guidance

• Publication strategy advice

• International academic positioning

• Strengthening managerial implications to ensure that research contributions are meaningful and beneficial for practitioners

A plenary session will also address how to write and submit to the Academy of Management, including guidance on submitting papers or Professional Development Workshops (PDWs), understanding the review process, positioning research for impact, publishing in outlets such as Academy of Management Perspectives (AMP), and bridging research and practice.

Applications must be submitted no later than March 20, 2026 :
