The Strategic Management Society is pleased to announce our 15th Annual Doctoral Workshop to be held Saturday, September 22, preceding the Strategic Management Society Conference in Paris. The Annual Doctoral Workshop will be held at the Paris Marriot Rive Gauche Hotel & Conference Center, which is the site of the SMS Conference.
As our pre-eminent PhD workshop, we are proud to continue to offer 25 scholarships to be awarded to workshop participants. These scholarships will be offered through competitive entry and review of student nominations, and will cover costs of the Annual Doctoral Workshop, as well as the SMS Annual Conference Registration Fee.
This workshop is intended for doctoral students at the early stage of their dissertation research. The workshop will be highly interactive and will include a variety of panels, practical sessions on developing dissertation proposals and launching academic careers, and a meet-the-editors session.
Applicants must have completed the initial comprehensive examination and coursework (or equivalent) of their doctoral program; preference will be given to those just commencing the formal work on their doctoral topic. Acceptance of a proposal at the Strategic Management Society Annual Conference is not required, but attendance at the conference is expected.
We are excited to share the following panels that have been organized for the participants of the Doctoral Workshop!
