Event Recording Access: Current AIB members will be able to access a recording of this event in the “AIB Video Archive” section of our login portal. New webinar recordings are typically posted within five business days of the original event date.
Event Overview: How do you write a high-impact paper? Is a high-impact article impactful from the moment it is submitted by the authors or do such papers become impactful as a result of the interaction with reviewers and editors? how do impactful papers evolve from original ideas to highly cited and impactful articles? To answer these questions, we discuss the anatomy and evolution of the 2023 JIBS Decade Award winning article titled “Global cities and multinational enterprise location strategy” by Anthony Goerzen, Christian Asmussen, and Bo Nielsen published in the Journal of International Business Studies in 2013. We trace the original idea and describe how the paper evolved in the review process.
The goal of this webinar is to demystify the process of writing a high-impact paper. The authors explain their original idea; the editor who handled their submission reflects on the review process; and the JIBS reviewing editor reflects on the generalizability of the takeaways provided by the authors and handling editor.
