For the 27th consecutive year, a Doctoral Tutorial for International Business students will be organized in conjunction with the Annual Conference of the European International Business Academy (EIBA). The 2013 Doctoral Tutorial will take place at the University of Bremen, Germany on 12 December 2013, prior to the start of EIBA's Annual Conference, 12-14 December 2013. (All students participating in the Doctoral Tutorial must also attend the EIBA Conference – this is a mandatory requirement.)
The first objective of the Tutorial is to provide an opportunity to doctoral students in International Business to discuss their research plans and their work in progress with a distinguished international faculty. The second purpose is to get them acquainted with the international EIBA-network of experts and colleagues working in the field of International Business. The core faculty for the Tutorial is composed of leading scholars in the field of International Business. (The names of this year's faculty will be announced shortly.)
The students who are selected to participate in the Tutorial will be requested to present a short paper about their thesis proposal. Participating students are required to also attend the EIBA Annual Conference, immediately following the Tutorial. There is a special registration fee for students. An award will be presented to the student with the most promising thesis proposal. You can see the complete list of previous winners HERE.
We are particularly keen to encourage applications from doctoral students who, although not yet being close to having completed their theses, have already developed a clear idea of the data they will use (or are in the process of collecting them), and of their intended research design. That is, we welcome especially applications from doctoral candidates who are mid-way through their thesis.
We also encourage applicants from schools that do not as yet have established IB faculty research groups.
Since the number of participants is strictly limited, if you are interested in this event, you are urged to send :
by September 2, 2013
-
a three-page abstract of the doctoral research currently being undertaken (Times Roman 12 font, single line spacing, 3-page limit including any figures or tables, excluding references)
-
your CV in which you are kindly requested to mention:
- the number of months (years) you have been working on your doctoral thesis
- the name of your main thesis advisor
Applicants should divide their 3-page abstracts into the following sections in roughly the proportions shown as a guideline:
(1) the central research question addressed (to include a brief statement of the topic, and of the issue or problem that motivates the research) [10%];
(2) theory and literature review [20%];
(3) research design, data and methodology (to include hypotheses in the case of quantitative methods, and the methods of measurement and the generative questions that will guide grounded theory building in the case of those using qualitative methods) [30%];
(4) expected results and summary of the evidence of the study thus far (to include if applicable an outline of any preliminary findings) [20%];
(5) expected contribution and its significance to scholarship in the IB field [10%]; and
(6) conclusions, and remaining concerns or problems to be overcome [10%].
The deadline (September 2, 2013) is over. Therefore it is no longer possible to submit.
| GUIDELINES FOR THE FINAL PAPERS & PRESENTATIONS |
Guidelines to participants of the doctoral tutorial for the preparation of their paper and presentation.
Papers should be a maximum of 10 pages (10 point Times New Roman, 1.5 line spacing) (excluding bibliography). PowerPoint presentations for the Doctoral tutorial itself should consist of a maximum of 10 slides. We strongly advise students to divide their 10 pages and 10 slides into 6 mandatory sections as follows: (1) the central research question addressed (to include a brief statement of the topic, and of the issue or problem that motivates the research) [1 page or 1 slide]; (2) theory and literature review [2 pages or 2 slides]; (3) research design, qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods (rationale, data collection and analysis techniques) [3 pages or 3 slides]; (4) expected results and summary of the evidence of the study thus far (to include an outline of any preliminary findings if applicable) [2 pages or 2 slides]; (5) expected contribution and its significance to IB scholarship [1 page or 1 slide]; and (6) conclusions, and remaining concerns or problems to be overcome (to include any areas in which help would still be useful, and any questions for the faculty panel) [1 page or 1 slide].
Participation in the 2013 EIBA / EIASM Doctoral Tutorial is open only to those students whose papers have been selected and accepted for presentation at the Tutorial this year (i.e., this is a closed session, by invitation only), and who have agreed to attend the entire 39th EIBA Annual Conference at the University of Bremen in Germany.

| THE 2nd EIBA DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM |
The numbers of participants at both the 2013 John H. Dunning Doctoral Tutorial and the 2013 COST-EIBA Doctoral Think Tank are strictly limited, as both events involve a considerable amount of faculty time, and the current one-day format does not allow for more students to participate.
Applicants who are not selected for either of the two events will be invited instead to participate in the 2013 EIBA Doctoral Symposium, which will take place during the afternoon of Thursday 12 December – immediately before the start of the EIBA conference. The 2013 EIBA Doctoral Symposium will be chaired by Jeremy Clegg (University of Leeds) and Elizabeth (Yi) Wang (University of Leeds).
The Symposium will consist of several parallel 1½ hour sessions, attended by 2-3 faculty members. Three students will be allocated to each session and each will be asked to give a short presentation of their research work, after which they will receive feedback from the panellists. Participating students are expected to register for and attend the EIBA 2013 conference (i.e., this is a special conference event for registered PhD student delegates).
All applications that are not accepted for either the 2013 John H. Dunning Doctoral Tutorial or the 2013 COST-EIBA Doctoral Think Tank will automatically be considered for the 2013 EIBA Doctoral Symposium. The submission deadline for abstracts is September 2nd 2013.
For further details or inquiries, please contact the co-chairs: Jeremy Clegg (L.J.Clegg@lubs.leeds.ac.uk) and Elizabeth (Yi) Wang (Y.E.Wang@lubs.leeds.ac.uk). To ensure a prompt reply, please include both co-chairs on your e-mails.
