Discussion: View Thread

Dear colleagues, 

We want to draw your attention to the following PDW at the upcoming EGOS Colloquium in Edinburgh: 

 

Conveners & Facilitators:

Ella Miron-Spektor (INSEAD, France)

Camille Pradies (EDHEC Business School, France)

Jonathan Schad (Cass Business School, City, University of London, UK)

Tobias Hahn (ESADE Business School, Spain)

Miguel Pina e Cunha (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal)

We invite scholars to submit their work to this writing workshop on paradox theory. Despite the growth of the field, conducting paradox research and writing paradox theory is challenging. We aim at discussing these challenges as well as the promises of researching organizational tensions and writing and publishing paradox papers.  The focus will be on small group interaction. Accepted papers will receive feedback from experts, and be thoroughly discussed in round tables sessions.

We seek papers with innovative contributions as well as new theoretical and methodological approaches that leverage and/or further our understanding of paradox theory. We are open to conceptual and empirical work at different levels of analysis and using various methodologies. PhD students and early career scholars are particularly encouraged to submit. We will give preference to papers that are not presented in the main conference program.

We will accept a maximum of 24 participants. We will contact applicants to let them know whether or not they are accepted for the workshop by mid-April 2019.

Application

The full call for applications can be found here. All submission must be made via the EGOS website. Please submit a single document that includes the following information:

• A short letter of application containing full details of name, address (postal address, phone and email), affiliation (date of PhD completion for early career scholars), a statement of why the applicant considers it valuable to attend this PDW as well as target journal(s);
• Working paper with maximum 10 double-spaced pages, including references, figures, or tables
• Please note that this year you need to have an accepted paper in a sub-theme of the main Colloquium to apply to a PDW. If you do not have an accepted paper in a sub-theme your application to the PDW cannot be processed.
