Paper and Career Development Workshops 1. EditoriaL DEsk Reviews (ELDERs) Paper Development Workshop
Date and time: 4th April 2024, 4.30pm to 6.00pm The aim of ELDERs Development Workshop This paper development workshop is mainly targeted at junior authors and early career researchers. In addition to receiving developmental feedback, authors will also be provided with the opportunity to have a live conversation with selected senior editors and reviewers about their paper draft. In contrast to journal-specific paper development workshops (PDWs) where authors submit their papers to a particular target outlet, the purpose here is to engage with senior editors and reviewers from a broader range of the international business journal “tribes” and lifting the lid off the “black box” of editorship and associated reviewer perspectives. Submission deadline: Authors submit their paper draft by Thursday, 5 March 2024 using the ConfTool submission system (https://www.conftool.org/aibuki2024, select the “ELDERs” track). The conference organisers will handle the initial paper screening process. Although authors can indicate their preferred journals, the conference organisers will make a first assessment whether the manuscript falls within the remit of the journal and/or has potential to be developed in the direction of a particular journal. Selected manuscripts will be assigned to a journal editor and a reviewer. How it works: From the editors perspective: The journal editor will look at the assigned manuscript as they normally would when a paper arrives their editorial mailbox. For the purposes of this workshop, the editor will provide authors with EditoriaL DEsk Review feedback, thus indicating whether they would send the paper out for review or not. They will briefly indicate the context and rationale for this decision, and what the authors may wish to consider before submitting the paper. From the reviewer's perspective: The selected manuscript will also be assigned to a discussant who is asked to provide more in-depth developmental feedback from a reviewer’s perspective. This feedback will be provided verbally in the ELDERs workshop with both the Editor and reviewer, representing a particular journal, being present. Which journals and senior editorial leads are represented at the ELDERs workshop?

2. AIB Sustainability SIG Pre-conference Workshop on
“Partnering to Deliver Sustainability Work Packages” Date and time: 4th April 2024, 13.30pm to 16.30pm Organisers: Shasha Zhao, University of Surrey Maria Ilieva, University of Leeds Hinrich Voss, University of Bristol John Dilyard, St. Francis College, USA Rudolf Sinkovics, University of Glasgow Would you like to explore research and teaching ideas on sustainability and IB? Are you looking for co-authors for a new project? Do you have an idea for a paper but not sure how to take it forward? If the answer to any these questions is “yes”, then this workshop is for you. Following our successful knowledge sharing roundtable online discussions, this workshop is intended to create a friendly and open space for like-minded colleagues to interact and network with each other by sharing their research ideas, questions, challenges, and/or findings. The workshop embraces open research that is organised around ‘work packages’. During this workshop, you will work within small teams on a work package and develop a tangible output. The format of the output can range from a publication project, a SI call for papers, an application to a funding call (e.g., the AIB Research Funding Grants program), to the creation of a focused symposium. The format of the output is decided by each group. The development of the output is facilitated by the structure of the workshop. Teams will receive feedback from the SIG on an interim output before they present. The work packages: The packages are loosely organised around four themes below:
