IMD will host a Paper Development Workshop (PDW) in collaboration with the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, as part of the AMJ Editors’ Retreat. The workshop will be co-hosted by IMD’s Murat Tarakci, Professor of Innovation Strategy, Tim Quigley, Professor of Strategic Leadership and Governance, and Quinetta Roberson, Professor of Management and Psychology at Michigan State University.
The goal of the workshop is to develop ideas and working manuscripts with the aim of later submission for review at AMJ. Consistent with the mission of AMJ, submissions on all management-relevant topics, at all levels of analysis and using all empirical methods, are invited for the workshop.
Application process and submission requirements
Pre-registration and extended abstract submission required. Submissions of no more than 10 pages are required upon registration, not after. Due to a limited number of slots available, applying for the workshop via the registration link does not guarantee participation. You will be notified soon after the submission deadline if your submission has been accepted for this event. As AMJ has increased its number of international workshops, local applicants and those in neighboring locations are preferred to attend.
Register for the workshop here. The submission deadline is 22 April 2026.
