Method Workshop 04: Configurational Approach Using Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) Location: MB704 Chair: Prof Shubhabrata Basu, Indian Institute of Management Indore, India;  The configurational approach refers to an integrative analytical technique, involving mechanisms that simultaneously and jointly considers strategy, organizational and environmental characteristics (Wiklund and Shepherd, 2005). The configurational approach is useful when:
(i) The antecedent factors are not clearly discernible due, in parts, to close linkages, mutual dependencies and interconnected processes amongst the factors (Meyer et. al, 1993) and
(ii) The same antecedent factors may lead to conflicting outcomes or more confoundingly when equifinality results from a combination of different organizational configurations (Meyer, et. al).
Of the several available tools, the set theoretical deduction based Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method provides several distinctive advantages. First, QCA provides inferences on facts that we don’t know from those that we do know (Thomann and Maggetti, 2020), by establishing external and internal validities and a mode of reasoning... |
Method Workshop 05: Literature Reviews in the Age of Information Overload Location: MB706 Chair: Dr Noemi Sinkovics, University of Glasgow & University of Vaasa, United Kingdom; Prerequisites of publishing include the identification of relevant and interesting research questions, the adequate delineation and framing of research problems, and the quality of the research design and execution. The ability to identify and analyse relevant literature underpins each stage of the research process. However, the exponential growth of publications within and outside of business and management studies can be overwhelming. Researchers need effective and efficient tools to identify, analyse, and synthesize relevant literature. This workshop offers an introduction to tools and techniques that can help researchers make sense of large bodies of literature and design search strategies that lead to manageable samples. With the proliferation of literature reviews in academic journals, the expectation of what qualifies as a meaningful literature review is constantly changing. The workshop will walk participants through some guidelines to help them keep up with the changing... |

SUST-SIG 01: AIB Sustainability SIG Pre-Conference Workshop Location: MB161B Would you like to explore research and teaching ideas on sustainability and IB? Are you looking for co-authors for a new project? Do you have an idea for a paper but not sure how to take it forward? If the answer to any these questions is “yes”, then this workshop is for you.
Following our successful knowledge sharing roundtable online discussions, this workshop is intended to create a friendly and open space for like-minded colleagues to interact and network with each other by sharing their research ideas, questions, challenges, and/or findings.
The workshop embraces open research that is organised around ‘work packages’. During this workshop, you will work within small teams on a work package and develop a tangible output. The format of the output can range from a publication project, a SI call for papers, an application to a funding call (e.g., the AIB Research Funding Grants program), to the creation of a focused symposium.

Professional Workshop 02: How to Develop an Article for Publication in IB Focuing on Theoretical Contributions Location: MB704 Chair: Prof Gary Knight, Willamette University, United States of America; The Workshop on ‘How to Develop Articles for Publication in International Business’ (90 mins) will address academic research in international business, leading to publication in top journals. The workshop will address identifying research topics, the role of theory and theory development, creating the research paper, and publishing in journals. Publishable research should aim to develop new knowledge, with a focus on making substantive contributions to the field. Research should be framed within relevant, extant theory, and simultaneously aim to advance existing theory or otherwise develop new theory. The workshop will be taught by Professor Gary Knight, who has substantial experience conducting research and publishing in top journals, in international business. |
Professional Workshop 03: Reviewing for Leading IB Journals Location: MB706 Chair: Prof Pawan Budhwar, Aston University, United Kingdom; Peer review is an integral part of publishing in leading journals. It plays a critical role in offering scholars with constructive and developmental feedback to improve their work and eventually publish. It is also a great service to our academic community and a professional developmental activity. Peer reviewing entails diligent work, subject matter expertise in the field and a serious professional commitment. This workshop aims to help develop doctoral students and junior faculty to become effective and efficient reviewers by understanding what, why and do’s and don’ts of reviewing for leading IB journals. The focus of the meeting will be to share information in an interactive mode via examples regarding the review process, good and weak review, and reviews from the perspective of an author, editor and reviewer. Participating in this workshop will also help prospective authors to refine their own submissions to leading IB journals. |

Participants will each work on a personal development plan which they can take away and use as part of their career development. The session is led by an experienced coach and mentor in HE, and will use tools which have been successful in the past in directing ECRs and more junior academics to think about what sort of academic role is best for them and what institution fits with their values.
