IACMR 2023 Conference, Hong Kong
MACRO-TRACK JUNIOR FACULTY CONSORTIUM
Call for Applications

Application Deadline: April 21, 2023

We are pleased to announce that the IACMR will hold a Macro-track (Strategy/OT/IB/ENT) Junior Faculty Consortium at the 2023 Hong Kong Conference. If you have started a macro-track junior faculty position in the last few years, this consortium is for you! The consortium provides an intimate forum for interacting with established scholars, enabling you to prosper in your academic career. More specifically, attending this consortium will help you:

1) Develop research projects for publication. Two seasoned scholars in your area will provide one-on-one feedback on your research project. You will also receive feedback from other colleagues during roundtable discussions.
2) Explore strategies for impact and growth as a business scholar and teacher. A distinguished panel of established scholars will share their insights with you in an interactive discussion.
3) Navigate the early academic career in diverse institutional settings. Leaders in our communities and research institutions will share their knowledge with you in an interactive discussion.
4) Build and develop potentially lifelong professional networks. The consortium provides opportunities for you to casually socialize with faculty mentors and peers.

This year’s faculty mentors offer diverse scholarly and geographic perspectives. Many have been editors for leading journals and won research and teaching awards. They include:

The consortium will be held on the last day of the conference, June 18. A tentative agenda of the consortium is provided below.
