Accepted full papers will be given the opportunity to:

• Compete for best paper

Developmental Paper Track

Many scholars attend SWAM each year to showcase their research early in its development. They do so to find suitable collaborators and coauthors, get valuable feedback from their peers, and gain insights into their research questions. Developmental papers can be any style or track suitable for SWAM, as described above, and may include papers from abstract-only to nearly complete. Frequently, authors submit the "front end" of their paper, prior to completing data collection, in order to get feedback on appropriate methods and sources of data.

• Developmental papers require at least one person listed in the submission to register for the conference and attend the session.
• Developmental papers are included in the conference program, but are not double-blind reviewed and are not eligible for paper awards or inclusion in the proceedings.
• Please identify if you are submitting an FBD Poster Session on the title page of your

Panels, Symposia, and Workshops

Each year, the SWAM Board actively seeks out high-impact panels, symposia, and workshops for attendees, including the doctoral consortium, deans panel, journal editors panel, and others. To enhance the value SWAM is able to deliver to members, panels, symposia, and workshops are selected from submissions by the Program Chair in coordination with Officers of the SWAM Board.

• Panels, symposia, and workshops require all persons listed in the submission to register for the conference and attend the session. If all presenters are not registered by March 03, 2023, the session will be dropped.
• Panels, symposia, and workshops are included in the conference program, but are not double-blind reviewed and are not eligible for paper awards or inclusion in the proceedings.
• For clarification on whether your topic would work best as a panel, symposium, or workshop, you can discuss your submission directly with the Program Chair (sweet@tamusa.edu) prior to submission to EasyChair.

 

Panel: A panel discussion involves a group of experts providing insights on a topic of interest to SWAM members (i.e., management faculty). Attendees should leave a panel with a deeper understanding of a complex challenge or issue. A panel discussion should include three-to-five experts and a moderator, and conclude with a question-and-answer session. Example panels include the Deans Panel and the Journal Editors Panel.

 

Symposium: A symposium involves a collective of like-minded scholars coming together to build knowledge around a topic of interest to SWAM members. The coordinator of a symposium should utilize a Socratic (or similar) method of eliciting active discourse to advance thought around the topic. In many cases, symposia are built around nascent research streams and emergent ideas. Example symposia include Management Research in the Military and Increasing Management Faculty Diversity.

 

Workshop: A workshop involves a group of experts training the attendees on a topic of interest to SWAM members, which would generally be aimed at improving skill in teaching or research. Attendees should leave a workshop with new knowledge and skills that they can take back to their roles as faculty and/or higher-education administrators. Example workshops include Using R-studio to Conduct Structural Equation Modeling and Building Quantitative Reasoning Skills in Undergraduate Management Students.
