AAOM/APJM Paper Development Workshop

at

School of Management, Lanzhou University

Lanzhou, China

December 16, 2017

Asia Academy of Management (AAOM) and Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) will conduct a paper development workshop (PDW) on December 16, 2017 at the School of Management, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China.  

The workshop will be led by a panel of senior editors of APJM and other leading scholars.

The purpose of the PDW is to provide feedback to junior scholars and doctoral students on their research projects that are in advanced stage of development.  Consistent with the mission of the Asia Academy of Management, our objective is to encourage scholars to do quality research on issues that are of relevance to Asia.  While we certainly hope that the authors will develop their work and submit to APJM, there is no obligation to do so.

We encourage authors to submit their original work under two categories - full length papers and idea papers.  Full length papers should not be more than 10,000 words in length, while paper ideas should not be more than 2500 words in length.  You can submit the papers that you have previously submitted to APJM or other journals to get development feedback.  The space is limited to 20 papers. 

Please submit your paper to msmeeting@lzu.edu.cn. The deadline for submission is October 31^st, 2017.  We will make the final decisions and inform the authors by Nov 30^th, 2017.

Please note that AAOM members will receive priority to attend the PDW.  The annual membership fee is HK$700 (About US$ 90) for academics and HK$500 (about US$ 65) for students.  You get free electronic subscription to APJM with annual membership. Please feel free to write to Ajai Gaur (ajai@business.rutgers.edu) if you have any questions, or visit the AAOM website (http://aaom.asia).
