A common mantra of business academics is “publish or perish.” Indeed, at many business schools promotion and tenure decisions are based heavily on one’s ability to publish (regularly) in academic business journals. The intent of this course/seminar is to have all interested academics (particularly Ph.D. students and new assistant professors) consider issues relating to the publishing of relevant and rigorous scholarly research in business journals. Topics that are normally addressed/discussed in this seminar include: What makes for impactful research? What is interesting research? Significant research? Crafting a scholarly manuscript Reasons manuscripts are rejected Traversing the journal review process Managing a research project from conceptualization through publication

Sonstige Hinweise (additional information):
The seminar will be held by Professor Dwayne D. Gremler, Ph.D., from Bowling Green State University, USA. It will take place as a block course over four days from Monday, March 11, 2024 to Thursday, March 14, 2024. General Structure: A list of academic articles (about 15 “required” readings, 25 “strongly” recommend readings, and about 75 other “optional” readings that focus on the academic publication process) will be provided to participants and will serve as the basis for discussion of the topics covered in the sessions. (Articles are taken from such journals as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Marketing, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Retailing, American Economist, and Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science.) The readings are divided into 6 “topics” (i.e., sessions), although they are not all equal in length. While many of the examples provided are in marketing contexts, most scholars from related disciplines who desire to publish social science work in business journals would likely find the seminar useful. Eight books on writing are also recommended but probably will not be discussed. Four research projects will be used as examples to illustrate the issues scholars can face in managing such projects, with emphasis on the initial conceptualization, submission to a journal, the review process, and (ideally) publication in a premier journal (in three of these examples, the Journal of Marketing). Each attendee will also be expected to identify and bring to the seminar two (published) articles (one “good” article and one “poor” one) from their home discipline to use as a basis for discussion (time permitting). As an added bonus, participants are to bring an “extended abstract” (10-15 pages) of one of their manuscripts to the seminar to have it reviewed by another seminar participant (time permitting).
