Participate in the first annual “AMD Shark Tank.” Like the reality TV show, scholars will “pitch” their paper ideas to a panel of leading management scholars who will then, along with the audience, be asked to vote for the most promising papers. Candidates will pre-submit paragraph-long abstracts of their papers. From this pool, the AMD editors will select 12 finalists to serve as contestants. Each contestant will be given 3 minutes (and no more than 3 power point slides) to summarize their study (i.e., make their pitch). Panelists will then be given 2-3 minutes to vote and give quick feedback. The first part of the event, open to all, will take about 2 hours. Following this open part of the session, AMD editors will provide an additional hour of closed-door, one-on-one feedback to the authors of two presented papers. All are welcome to participate in both parts of this session. Panelists include: Paul Adler, Teresa Amabile, Tima Bansal, John Hollenbeck, Chet Miller, Nancy Rothbard. |
