When should doctoral students start attending and submitting papers to national conferences?
We encourage students to attend the Academy of Management meeting as many times as they can because this conference will be helpful to them to meet scholars and other doctoral students, learn about the academic profession, and prepare for future job searches, among many other learning opportunities. Doctoral students are strongly encouraged to submit their papers to national conferences such as the Academy of Management (deadline is in January) as early in the program as possible. For example, in the past, management students have collaborated with faculty members to submit first semester papers to conferences and have been successful in this pursuit. In these cases, students tended to choose topics that were aligned with a faculty member’s interest.
