The purpose of this PDW is to provide scholars with developmental feedback on their current research ideas and papers in the field of stakeholder-related research and offer a stimulating discussion on new research areas in stakeholder strategy. Reflecting the 2022 SMS Conference theme of “Innovative Strategies for an Open World,” the panelists will discuss innovations in stakeholder theory, broadly construed, to inspire new research on tackling grand challenges, social and environmental action, and effective stakeholder strategies across different contexts.

The PDW will feature an initial panel that is open to all SMS attendees and small-group paper feedback sessions open only to accepted participants. While the paper feedback sessions are also open to all attendees interested in applying, preference will be given to doctoral students, early- and mid-career academics, as after several virtual conferences we want to encourage in-person connections between newer and more established scholars.

Applications will be required for the later portion of this workshop. To be considered for this workshop applicants should submit the following materials as a single PDF through the workshop website.

Application requirements: 

- CV and paper overview (maximum 5 pages)
