Contestants Needed for Shark Tank-A Paper Development Workshop for Academy of Management Discoveries
While in Boston for the AOM conference, participate in the highly regarded "AMD Shark Tank." Like the reality TV show, participants will "pitch" their paper ideas to a panel of leading management scholars, who will then, along with the audience, be asked to vote for the most promising papers. If you are interested in being "on the show," submit an extended abstract of your proposed paper (up to three double-spaced pages for the abstract). From the pool of submissions, the incoming AMD editor team will select finalists to serve as contestants. Each contestant will be given 4 to 5 minutes (no more than 3 power point slides) to summarize the study during the live session (i.e., make the pitch). Esteemed panelists will then be given a few minutes to give quick, constructive, and perhaps humorous feedback for each paper. The first part of the event will take about 1 hour. Following this part, AMD editors will provide an additional 30 minutes of feedback to the authors of the two papers scoring the most votes. Submit your extended abstracts by 19 July via https://form.jotform.com/AOMForms/amd-paper-workshop-at-aom.
