AIB Chapter Seminar: Writing Introductions and Discussions for Scholarly Publication

Overview: Strong introductions and discussions are essential to effective scholarly writing. Yet scholars do not always recognize their importance or pay less attention to them than they merit, thus jeopardizing article publication and visibility in high-impact journals. In this seminar, exclusively offered to AIB members, distinguished international business scholar Anoop Madhok will discuss how to write an effective introduction and discussion section.

In order to get maximum value from this seminar, all participants are encouraged to read the introduction of the following article, which will be discussed in greater detail during the program: Competition for competence and interpartner learning within international strategic alliances.
