Call for Submissions
The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore’s flagship journal IIMB Management Review (IMR) and the Office of the Doctoral Programme are organising the twelfth IMR Doctoral Conference (IMRDC 2021) on 4th, 5th and 6th February, 2021. This edition of IMRDC will be a virtual conference, adapting the features of the physical conference into an interactive, online mode.
Our objective is to encourage doctoral research and facilitate collaborative work among researchers from different institutions. We aim to provide a forum where insightful feedback from senior researchers and academicians can help improve the quality and rigour of student research. The IMR Doctoral Conference is a benchmark event in India's doctoral community, commended by participants for the thorough and constructive feedback provided through its “one exclusive discussant per paper” format.
We invite full paper submissions from doctoral students in Management, across all areas including Decision Sciences, Economics and Social Sciences, Entrepreneurship, Finance and Accounting, Information Systems, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources Management, Production and Operations Management, Public Policy, and Strategy.
The submissions will be reviewed by a Faculty Review Committee in multiple rounds, from which a set of papers will be finally selected for presentation and reviewed by the discussants. We aim to select at least one paper from each area, for final presentation. Papers selected for the conference will be considered for publication in IIMB Management Review, subject to author approval and after completion of the journal’s standard review process.
A Best Paper Award will be given for the best paper among those selected for presentation, based on the decision of the Conference Chairs, Discussants and Faculty Review Committee.
