Workshop Description

The objective of this workshop is to offer an interactive session that provides insights that engage scholars throughout SMS who are (or may be) interested in publishing rigorous and impactful strategy process research. We will have two sequential panels, each with a Q&A session with the participants.

The first panel consists of top journals´ editors who will discuss how to successfully publish process research. In the second panel, the author(s) of a recently published strategy process paper will walk through their journey from submission to acceptance. Then the editor will share his or her perspective on the process from ‘the other side,’ as well as reflect on how this paper is distinctive or similar to others they know based on their considerable editorial and publishing experience.

The workshop will feature the publication journey of the paper: Kanitz, R., Huy, Q. N., Backmann, J., & Hoegl, M. 2021. No Change Is an Island: How Interferences Between Change Initiatives Evoke Inconsistencies That Undermine Implementation. Academy of Management Journal,  Rouven Kanitz has accepted our invitation to share the story from the author´s perspective and Eero Vaara from the editor´s point of view.
