Intended Learning Outcomes and Competencies

A common mantra of business academics is “publish or perish.”  Indeed, at many business schools promotion and tenure decisions are based heavily on one’s ability to publish (regularly) in academic business journals.  The intent of this course/seminar is to have all interested academics (particularly Ph.D. students and new assistant professors) consider issues relating to the publishing of relevant and rigorous scholarly research in business journals.
