Guidelines to follow for submission of pannel proposals

​

​

Panel sessions serve as discussion forums for issues of contemporary interest to IB scholars.

​

Panels are complete sessions organized as a single submission by the panel chair around a common theme.

​

Panels may have a variety of formats.

 

Examples include: roundtables with no formal papers, innovative presentations utilizing software or film, key note and discussion with senior scholar(s) not normally involved in EIBA, and professional development workshops.

​

Criteria

​

Panel sessions in which participants come from different universities and countries are encouraged. The acceptance of panels is subject to constraints in terms of the availability of rooms. The proposals will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers who will specifically take into consideration the following criteria:

​

Relevance: Is the topic of the proposed panel session related to the main themes in International Business and/or the main theme of the EIBA 2020 Conference?

​

Significance: Does the proposed panel offer value beyond the usual competitive or interactive paper sessions? Does it deal with issues that are interesting but underexplored? Does it propose something new in terms of conceptual or methodological approaches, or does it highlight an issue of considerable managerial or societal significance?

​

Coherence: Do the presentations for the proposed session address sufficiently related questions or issues, and do they contribute to a coherent panel?

​

Each panel lasts exactly 90 minutes.
