When business schools evaluate a junior professor for tenure, the school typically seeks letters from several prominent individuals in the junior scholar’s area of research. This half-day workshop is intended to help assistant professors and late stage doctoral candidates understand and prepare for the tenure letter process. The first half of the workshop will feature presentations by prominent senior faculty who have written tenure letters. They will describe the letter writing process, explain how they evaluate a tenure case, and provide advice for junior scholars. The second half of the workshop will feature small roundtable discussions where junior scholars will describe their intended research program and receive feedback and advice from the senior scholars. This workshop is hosted by the Competitive Strategy Interest Group, and it is open to all conference attendees. Pre-registration is required.

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

Upon acceptance, applicants must submit their top 4 preferences in terms of panelists that the applicant would like to be matched with for the roundtable discussions.
