CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: BPS DISSERTATION CONSORTIUM

Academy of Management, Philadelphia, PA

Saturday, August 4, 2007, 8:00 am-5:00 pm

The BPS Dissertation Consortium will be offered as a pre-conference activity for doctoral students in strategy at the 2007 Academy meetings in Philadelphia. This new consortium, which complements the traditional BPS Doctoral Consortium, is intended for students who have defended their proposals and who will be on the job market during the 2007-2008 academic year (i.e., for jobs beginning Fall 2008).

The Dissertation Consortium provides an opportunity for students to present brief summaries of their dissertation research to a distinguished group of faculty and twenty-five peers, and to receive feedback from this group in an informal setting. The faculty panel for this year’s Consortium includes: Nick Argyres (Boston University), Keld Laursen (Copenhagen Business School), Anne Marie Knott (Washington University), Peggy Lee (ASU), Jackson Nickerson (Washington University), Jeff Reuer (University of North Carolina), Kevin Steensma (University of Washington), Giovanni Valentini (Bocconi). 

Priority for admission into the Dissertation Consortium will be given to students who have not previously attended the regular BPS Doctoral Consortium, but any doctoral student in BPS who expects to enter the job market and graduate during the 2007-2008 academic year (and who is not applying to this year’s Doctoral Consortium) may apply.

Interested doctoral candidates should apply via email to Anne Marie Knott at knott@wustl.edu by May 1, 2007.

The application should include:

• 1) a cover letter stating: a) that you are applying only to the BPS Dissertation Consortium (i.e. you are not also applying to the BPS Doctoral Consortium); b) a commitment to attend the BPS Dissertation Consortium if accepted; c) why the Dissertation Consortium is the best fit for you.
• 2) the most current version of either your dissertation proposal or a paper from your dissertation;
• 3) a current CV;
• 4) a nomination letter from your dissertation chair; the letter should verify that the candidate is expected to enter the job market and graduate during the 2007-2008 academic year.
