CALL FOR PAPERS       

 JIBS Paper Development Workshop

The 2024 Journal of International Business Studies Paper Development Workshop (JIBS-PDW) will be held on 12 December 2024, as a pre-conference activity of the 2024 European International Business Academy (EIBA) conference, to be held at Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland, 12-14 December (https://eiba2024.eiba.org/ ). The conference theme is Rethinking IB Research for the Next 50 Years.

The JIBS-PDW is being organized by Vittoria Scalera (University of Amsterdam) and Becky Reuber (University of Toronto, JIBS Deputy Editor). The purpose of the JIBS-PDW is to provide scholars with developmental feedback on their current research projects in International Business. Authors will be paired with senior International Business scholars for discussions about their papers.

We invite original papers from doctoral students or faculty members who have not previously published in JIBS. We particularly encourage papers from scholars (1) who are located in universities in emerging economies or in universities that offer limited support for international business research, or (2) who are trained in disciplines less commonly associated with the field (e.g., human geography, political science, or economic history) but interested in conducting international business research.  While we hope that many of these papers will eventually be submitted to JIBS, the aim of the PDW is more generally to heighten the quality of IB research, and bring new scholars into the IB field.

To apply to the JIBS-PDW, you should submit a research paper to jibspdw.eiba24@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2024. Each applicant can submit only one paper, but you may submit the same paper for presentation at the EIBA 2024 Conference. (Please note that EIBA conference papers and panel proposals are due earlier, on Monday July 15.) Papers for the JIBS-PDW must be less than 10,000 words in length.  Your cover page should include all the author names, emails and affiliations.

You will be notified about the acceptance of your submission by 30 September, and you will need to confirm participation by 16 October, which is the early-bird registration deadline for the conference.  All participants must register for the EIBA 2024 conference before they confirm their attendance at the JIBS-PDW.

We're looking forward to seeing you at the JIBS-PDW!  Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about it.
