European Academy of Management (EURAM)

2016 Doctoral Colloquium

May 29-31, 2016

Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), Paris, France

Are you a second or higher year doctoral student?

Would you like to become part of a highly motivated community of young researchers?

Do you want to engage with doctoral students from different parts of the world?

Do you want to meet the leading scholars in your field face-to-face?

Do you want to become the winner of the “EURAM 2016 Doctoral Colloquium Best Paper Award”?

Then we would like to invite you to the EURAM 2016 Doctoral Colloquium!

Enlarge

Enlarge your network and initiate dialogues with leading management scholars!

Experienced management scholars will share their knowledge in doing research and being a researcher. Learning from those scholars and asking them all the questions you’ve always wanted to ask is a great opportunity to become part of the management research community. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about the tacit knowledge underlying a PhD process and to get useful insights on how to complete a PhD in a successful way.

Entrust

Cooperate with each other!

The largest part of the colloquium is dedicated to the discussion of your papers in small groups – each supervised by an experienced senior researcher, many of them global thought leaders in their field. The aim is not that you shall give a “traditional” paper presentation, but to briefly outline your research and from that engage in intensive interactive sessions aiming at giving you advice and feedback for the particular questions you have. We will circulate the papers of each group member in advance to make sure that each one can read the papers of the others before meeting.

Engage

Identify your way of joining the EURAM community of researchers!

You will get useful hints on how to become part of the EURAM Community of researchers. We will invite you to become part of our growing community and tell you more about, for instance, the European Early Career Community (EECC) and the EURAM Strategic Interest Groups (SIGs). The SIGs are the “heart and soul” of EURAM and SIG representatives will join in – not only with their scientific expertise – but also with information on the scientific development of EURAM that may be of great value for conference newcomers.

Express

Express your talent and win the EURAM Paper Award for doctoral students!

Our scientific committee will select the winners of the EURAM 2016 Doctoral Colloquium Best Paper Award among all accepted submissions (1^st price is 1000 Euro; 2^nd price is 500 Euro; 3^rd price is 300 Euro). This is an excellent opportunity to advance in your academic career!

2.    A summary of your monograph dissertation.
3.    A summary of each and every paper done/planned in your compilation dissertation + a summary of your compilation      dissertation as a whole.

Regardless if you choose text-type 4a, 4b or 4c, your text must include the following elements and sections:

• Particular questions you are struggling with as of now, that you want a special focus upon at the Doctoral Colloquium.
• Short abstract (max. 300 words)
• Up to 3 keywords
• The following outline/headlines of your main text:
  • Introduction
  • Relevance of your dissertation; theoretically, empirically, practically
  • Theoretical framework
  • Methodological approach/es and method/s used
  • Empirical findings (if you write a research proposal, please present expected/intended empirical findings)
  • Discussion and conclusions (not applicable for text-type 4a)
  • Implications for future research and for practitioners
  • References
• Choose one topic area from the list below that best matches the positioning of your PhD dissertation (these topic areas are identical with the SIGs of EURAM, except for the last one ‘General Management’, which is no SIG in EURAM):

1. Business for Society
2. Corporate Governance
3. Entrepreneurship
4. Family Business Research
5. Gender, Race and Diversity in Organisations
6. Innovation
7. International Management
8. Managing Sports
9. Organizational Behaviour
10. Project Organising
11. Public and Non-Profit Management
12. Research Methods and Research Practice
13. Strategic Management
14. General Management (if you work in a discipline that is not covered by any of the EURAM SIGs above)

This choice of topic area/SIG is important for several reasons, but above all, for us being able to allocate you to the most relevant experts from each topic area/SIG respectively.

As the largest multidisciplinary university in Ile-de-France, the Université Paris-Est Créteil may be described as a bold yet successful enterprise: in little more than 40 years since its foundation in 1970, UPEC has managed to establish itself both as a regionally grounded institution and an internationally oriented university.

Only 20 minutes from the heart of Paris, UPEC stands out with its 120,000 square meter campus, its comprehensive programmes and state-of-the-art research. The university houses 31 research centers, and 15 components, for a student population of 30,000. The Business School, the Faculty of Economics, the Institute for Languages and the Law School, will welcome EURAM 2016, our sessions and plenary conferences.

Courses and trainings are specially tailored to meet international standards and cover an extensive range of disciplines, from technical degrees to doctorates (Ph.D). Besides, UPEC has signed more than 250 international agreements with universities and laboratories, and enjoys governmental as well as European support.

Due to its internationally focused policy, UPEC boasts a rich social diversity and welcomes 3,000 foreign students each year. UPEC's study offer also includes programmes entirely taught in English, as the University welcomes numerous teachers and researchers from abroad.

UPEC (its Management Research Centre, IRG and its Business School, IAE Gustave Eiffel) is partnering with the following prestigious French Business Schools to organise the EURAM 2016 Conference and the EURAM 2016 Doctoral Colloquium: Universités Paris-Dauphine, ESCP Europe, HEC Paris, ISTEC Paris, Paris 13/Sorbonne Paris Cité and Paris-Est Marne la Vallée (UPEM).
