The Estonian Doctoral School is pleased to host a two-day Idea Development Workshop (IDW) for doctoral students, early-career researchers, and supervisors interested in publishing in Academy of Management Perspectives (AMP). The workshop is designed to help participants generate and refine strong research ideas that can form the basis of high-quality manuscripts suitable for submission to AMP.

Led By

Bonnie Hayden Cheng and Stacey Fitzsimmons, AMP Associate Editors

Purpose

This workshop provides insight into the publishing process at AMP, guidance from journal editors, and personalized feedback on participants’ research ideas. By combining editorial perspectives with hands-on development sessions, the IDW supports early-stage scholars in transforming promising ideas into publishable contributions.

Agenda Overview

Day 1 – December 8, 2025

The first day focuses on understanding what makes a successful AMP submission. Editors will discuss the journal’s expectations, common reasons for rejection, and practical strategies for strengthening manuscripts. The day includes presentations, Q&A sessions, and a detailed overview of how to structure a paper for AMP. Networking opportunities and a group dinner (optional) are also planned.

Day 2 – December 9, 2025

The second day features in-depth roundtable discussions. Participants will present a 200–250-word abstract of their paper idea and receive tailored feedback from an assigned AMP associate editor. Breakout sessions will run throughout the day, with participation limited to ensure high-quality individual guidance.
