| 09:15–10:30 | Welcome and Professor Helene Tenzer (LMU Munich School of Management): Crafting a research identity and publishing from the PhD
This session aims to provide PhD students in different stages of their dissertation projects with ideas how to craft their distinctive research identity, how to build a coherent research portfolio, and how to convert their dissertations into successful publications in prestigious journals. We will discuss how to frame a topic, how to select suitable target journals, how to find co-authors and academic mentors, and how to navigate the review process. Considering the challenging nature of the PhD phase, we will also talk about techniques for maintaining one’s motivation and work-life balance.
Helene Tenzer is Associate Professor of International Management at LMU Munich School of Management. Her research focuses on language diversity in multinational organizations, multinational and virtual teams, global leadership, international human resource management and organizational behaviour. She has published on these topics in outlets such as the Journal of International Business Studies, Academy of Management Learning and Education, Leadership Quarterly and Journal of World Business. In addition, she has founded a research network on language in management with currently over 100 international members.Register for this talk - External guests only |

The objective of this workshop is for you to reflect on experiences in designing and conducting research that engagesbpractitioners, links theory and practice, and impacts society and organisations. We will consider multiple forms of impact and discuss optimising impact, which also requires clear communication strategies in the (social) media, as well as knowledge dissemination to bridge gaps between theory and practice. The workshop will focus on engaging and engaging with a range of audiences and the effective dissemination of your research through social media.

Professor Stefanie Reissner (University of Essex): Qualitative interviewing and knowledge claims
In this keynote, Stefanie Reissner will argue for greater awareness of the onto- epistemological paradigm in which a research project is situated. Using qualitative interviewing as an illustrative example, she will outline how the researchers’ assumptions about social reality and the generation of knowledge shape research practices, knowledge claims and decisions where to publish. The keynote will conclude with a plea to delegates to engage more deeply with their onto-epistemological paradigm and to use commensurate research practices in their work.
Stefanie Reissner is Professor of Work and Organization Studies at the University of Essex. Her research interests are identity, narrative / storytelling, and interpretive work / sensemaking as well as research methodology, reflexivity, and learning. Stefanie has received external research funding from the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Academy / Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy of Management and her work has been published in high quality management and organization journals and two monographs. Stefanie is an experienced doctoral supervisor and examiner and has contributed to doctoral training at her institution, nationally through the Northern Advanced Research Training InitiativeRegister for Prof. Stefanie Reissner talk - External guests only |
Panel discussion: Challenges and opportunities of quantitative approaches with panellists are Professor Cowling, Dr Jeremy Zwiegelaar, Dr Husni Kharouf and Dr Robin Robin
The session will focus on using quantitative data in publication. The speakers will consider two common mistakes that people make when analysing quantitative data and developing papers for journal submission. People with more modest analytical skills do not do enough analysis and leave themselves open to questions about selection bias, unrepresentative data, developing hypotheses after the fact to fit the results, and not using techniques that are robust enough. At the other extreme, people with high level analytical skills often bury themselves in sophisticated models and a battery of robustness checks and often lose sight of the research question that they were supposed to be investigating and fail to bring the key findings to life. Both will make it hard for referees and editors to 'like' your paper and see its value. In this presentation we consider what the 'happy medium' is and how good and focused quantitative analysis can add insight and generate exciting new findings that are appealing to journal editors and reviewers. We will supplement these considerations with a specific focus on using multivariate data analysis and subsequently shaping the discussion section of quantitative papers. |
