Paper Development Workshop
April 1, 2019
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München
Munich School of Management
Germany

The editors of the Journal of Product Innovation Management (JPIM) invite applications for a paper development workshop (PDW) to be held on April 1, 2019 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich, Germany. The interactive workshop will be led by the JPIM Editors-in-Chief, Charles Noble and Jelena Spanjol. Application deadline is February 25, 2019. Decisions will be communicated by March 1, 2019.

Overall Aims

1. Provide prospective authors with an understanding of what JPIM seeks to publish (meaningful and rigorous scholarly work, focusing on consequential questions in the innovation domain).
2. Provide prospective authors with an understanding of issues that might lead to rejection (initial or later round) of a paper.
3. Encourage pre-submission interaction between JPIM editors and potential authors towards alignment of manuscripts with JPIM priorities.
4. Establish a forum for editors to work with prospective authors on manuscripts that are in progress (working papers).
5. Support networking between scholars in the domain of innovation management and sharing of ideas.

Application Procedure

• To allow for effective idea and paper development, the number of participants will be limited to maximally 15 authors. Participation in the PDW is by application only, and only one author per submitted paper will be able to participate.
• We especially encourage junior faculty / post docs and authors who have not yet published in JPIM to apply, although all applications are welcome.
• Inclusion evaluation will focus on potential benefit for the author as well as the potential of the research to make significant theoretical and meaningful contributions to the field of innovation management.
• The application should be sent to jpim_admin@bwl.lmu.de with the subject line indicating “JPIM PDW”. Please include the following (in one single PDF file):
  • o Cover letter indicating status of the paper (completed manuscript, additional data collection planned, etc.), research question, and intended contribution.
  • o Full working paper
  • o Curriculum Vitae (of author planning to attend workshop)
