About the Event
Many researchers are interested in publishing in managerial journals because these, rather than academic journals, are read by practitioners. But many are frustrated by the process of getting into practitioner journals such as California Management Review, Harvard Business Review, and MIT Sloan Management Review. In particular, many do not understand, first, how to design studies with output of interest to managers, second, how to write for a managerial journal, and third, how to get accepted. For example, there is a common belief, only partly true, that Harvard Business Review publishes only articles that it has solicited from authors whom the editors know. At the same time, as researchers in business schools, it is incumbent on at least some of us to communicate directly with those who work in the field that we study.
This workshop helped participants learn how to design research studies that are likely to be of interest to managerial journals, write managerial papers, and negotiate the publishing process.
