Call for Submissions
The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore’s flagship journal IIMB Management Review (IMR) and the Office of the Fellow Programme in Management are organising the tenth IMR Doctoral Conference (IMRDC 2019) on January 4 and 5, 2019, at IIM Bangalore.
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 and Information Systems, Economics and Social Sciences, Entrepreneurship, Finance and Accounting, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources Management, Production and Operations Management, Public Policy, and Strategy.
The submissions will be reviewed by a Faculty Committee, from which a set of papers will be selected for presentation. Presenters of accepted papers will be provided accommodation and domestic economy airfare. 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.
