Following a fantastic conference last year, the School of Business and Law has opened up ticket sales for our 3rd Business Doctoral and Emerging Scholars Conference in 2018.

Held on 29 and 30 November, the conference provides an opportunity for participating doctoral students and early career researchers (ECR) to discuss and share their research ideas and approaches with other doctoral students, researchers and leading academics within the broad field of business.

We have also secured impressive keynote speakers for the conference, who have extensive experience publishing in high level journals and are leading experts in their research fields.

Alongside our keynote speakers, this year the conference features a workshop on WarpPLS, “Meet the Editor” session and the Academic Panel Discussion.

Submissions

The conference accepts submissions from doctoral students in different stages of their dissertation process, and early career or emerging researchers. We welcome submissions from the field of Business.

All manuscripts must be original and have not been submitted for a consideration for a publication with other journal or conference. Accepted manuscripts are subject to a peer review process.

The conference invites a short paper (maximum of 6 single spaced pages with 12 point font including references and appendices).Full details of the corresponding author, including, full name, email address, affiliation should also be included in the submission.

The Best Paper Award is presented to the author(s) of a paper presented at the conference that is judged by an awards committee as having the highest overall quality in advancing the fundamental understanding of the field of knowledge. The winner of the Best Paper Award will receive $1,000. The awards committee will also select a runner up and will award $500.
