WORKSHOPS
JIBS & JIBP PDW (CFP) The 2021 joint Paper Development Workshop (PDW) of the Journal of International Business Studies and theJournal of International Business Policy will be held on Wednesday April 14, 2021 online, but organized by the University of Greenwich. The workshop takes place before the 2021 AIB-UKI Chapter Conference (see https://www.aib-uki.org/conference.html ). The purpose of the PDW is to provide scholars with developmental feedback on their international business research. There will also be a couple of plenary sessions on publishing and then authors will be paired with senior International Business scholars from the JIBS of JIBP Editorial Board for small group about their paper. We invite original papers from new authors who have not previously published in their targeted journal, JIBS or JIBP. We particularly encourage submissions from scholars who are at universities that offer limited research support, or who are trained in disciplines less commonly associated with the field (e.g. geography, political science or history) but are interested in targeting international business journals. Prospective participants should submit their paper by email, by Monday, March 1 (to jibspdw.aibuki@gmail.com ). An applicant may submit only one paper, but may submit the same paper for presentation at the conference. The cover page should include your name, email address and affiliation. Papers must conform to the style guidelines for conference paper submissions, listed on the conference website. All participants must register for the conference before they confirm workshop attendance. Participants will be notified about the acceptance of their submissions by Friday, March 5. They will be required to register for the conference and confirm their participation by Friday March 19. If they wish a more up-to-date version of their paper to be discussed at the workshop, they will be able to submit one up until Thursday, April 1.

Professor Mario Kafouros, Senior Editor of IBR, will provide an overview of common problems and weaknesses that can be found in each section of a paper (introduction, theory, hypotheses etc.) and suggest ways to overcome such limitations. The purpose of the seminar is therefore to help scholars improve the quality of their articles and in turn the chance of publishing their work in IBR. The session will be interactive. The participants in the seminar will be able to ask questions and discuss different aspects of their work with the editor(s). There is no need to submit papers in advance. We welcome participants who are trained in disciplines such as international business, management and economics but also in disciplines less commonly associated with the field (e.g., geography, political science and sociology). This workshop's information is also available as a pdf. NOTE: To attend this session, you must be registered for the AIB UK&I 2021 conference.

This workshop will share and build on the experience of an Erasmus+ project (VCL4IB) on use of video cases for IB teaching, developed based on the original methodology of Brands Whisper’g® which is an ongoing e-book for Marketing, where chapters are covered with help of video cases scripted by lecturers and narrated by company executives. According to a recent VCL4IB survey, 17% of lectures used video cases for lecturing in 2018 (De Beule et al., 2019). In the post-COVID-19 period, the share of video case users more than doubled by July 2020 and increased to 42% (Polls conducted at AIB 2020 Online among our panel participants). Yet, lecturers further indicated difficulties in finding them and not knowing how to use them. This workshop summarizes the experience of lecturers’ adaptation and innovation through the development of MNC Whispering series for IB and presents the results of using the pilot video cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. The workshop on video cases aims to help lecturers in shifting to online and hybrid teaching and get better results in the new digital education ecosystem as well as motivating lecturers to produce their own video cases. The workshop will have four sections:
