The Organization Theory (OT) Winter Workshop is aimed at organization and management researchers who wish to write high quality and impactful theoretical papers for journal publication. The workshop will offer detailed coaching and hands-on feedback sessions on participants’ papers as well as plenary sessions by members of the Organization Theory editorial team on key aspects of developing and writing theory (e.g., developing a theory contribution, construct clarity, genres of theory writing).

This will be the second edition of our annual workshop which will bring together organization and management scholars, the editors of Organization Theory, and senior academics with experience in writing theory papers as additional facilitators and mentors.

The submission system for the OT Winter Workshop will open on the 15th of October. We encourage both senior researchers as well as researchers in earlier stages of their careers to submit conceptual papers to be considered for this workshop. We are open to theoretical perspectives from outside the ‘mainstream’ and are keen to support the development of papers that are currently not under review. Please note that empirical papers (those with theorizing based on quantitative or qualitative data) will NOT be accepted.

This workshop will be face-to-face and will take place at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam and is hosted by the Department of Management and Organization (unless the pandemic regulations will not allow this). We will not be able to offer a hybrid format.

The best papers from the workshop will be considered for publication in Organization Theory through a fast-track review process.

The keynote speaker for the workshop will be Professor Lisa Herzog from the University of Groningen.
