This is a workshop offered every year and is mandatory for all PhD students in Strategic Management. First-year students audit the workshop; after their first year, students must enrol in the workshop for credit (and, as such, complete all the assignments). The specific objectives of the workshop are: 1) Keep you apace with Strategy-related frontier research, by discussing the studies presented by the speakers in the Strategy Seminar Series. 2. Address issues of professional development and the "art and craft" of doing research, by listening to presentations by faculty in the Strategic Management PhD program. Each faculty will talk about a different theme, including challenges in data collection, planning and scheduling, the transition from graduate student to faculty member, and presentation skills. 3) Offer PhD students the opportunity to present their own work in progress to each other and to selected faculty.In addition to these "formal" goals, our meetings are an opportunity to check on the students' overall progress, discuss any issues related to the doctoral program, and exchange useful information in a friendly and safe space.
