The Entrepreneurship and Strategy Interest Group, with support from the co-editors of SMJ and SEJ, is pleased to offer a workshop on “Developing Your Research Identity” for junior faculty at the 2018 Strategic Management Society Conference in Paris, France.
The objective of the workshop is to help junior faculty build a distinctive research identity. As junior faculty move towards tenure, it is important for them to look beyond individual papers and start to shape a substantive yet coherent research agenda. Questions such as how to build a stream of papers in an area, which set of journals to target, how to craft related papers, and how to identify and communicate their identity become increasingly pertinent.
The workshop will begin with presentations by senior scholars. They will share their insights, personal experiences, observations, and general guidelines on building research identities. This will be followed by a general discussion, after which junior faculty will have the opportunity to develop their own individual ‘Research Identity Plans’. In the second half of the workshop (after lunch), junior faculty will share their plans with senior discussants as well as other junior faculty through round table discussions, and receive one-on-one feedback.
