Join us on the campus of San Jose State University in the heart of Silicon Valley for our 26th IBAM conference. Lodging will be provided on the SJSU campus at $230 for all three nights, likely much less expensive than local hotels. We will also publish a list of local hotels that have been recommended to us as the conference approaches.

Full Paper

A completed paper that is being considered for publication.  It might be a work in progress, work for which you are still collecting developmental feedback.  It might also be a “bottom drawer” paper you are trying to revive. All full papers will be automatically considered for best paper awards. 

Student Papers

A subcategory of “Full Papers” is a student paper. One author (ideally the first author) must be a student and must attend. Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral learners are welcome. “Best Student Paper” award(s) will be selected from this category. Sponsoring faculty members should encourage institutional or private support of students whose papers are accepted. Submissions should include a statement that the student will attend the conference.

1. All submissions must be entirely original and may not be under concurrent consideration or accepted for presentation elsewhere. You may submit up to two papers and/or proposals in any or all of the divisions.  This includes papers and proposals that are co-authored.

2. Submissions should be double-spaced with one-inch margins, typed in a 12-point font, and follow APA format. All submissions should reflect appropriate academic research form and include three keywords, as well as a 75-word abstract. Indicate the IBAM division to which you are making the submission. IBAM divisions are as follows:

   • Division 1:  Human Resource Management

   • Division 2:  Organizational Behavior

   • Division 3:  Strategic and Global Management

   • Division 4:  Management Education and Pedagogy

   • Division 5:  Student Papers

3. Guidelines by submission type:

   1. Full Papers  should not exceed 30 pages (total – including references). 

   2. Symposia & Workshop Proposals  should submit a three to five-page proposal outlining details of the symposia or workshop presentation, along with a statement that all presenters intend to register for the conference.

   3. Idea Incubator Sessions should have a draft paper including literature review, hypotheses or research questions, and some discussion of methodology

4. Paper Submission Deadline:  May 17, 2019. Submit your paper, proposal, or summary by uploading it into the IBAM Conference submissions page at ScholasticaHQ and following the instructions for submissions located at that site. Submission acceptance decisions will be made by June 30, 2019

5. Author Information:  Do not include author information. Author information will be recorded on the submission page at the Scholastica site. The uploaded document should be free of any identifying author indications and the document “Properties” data should be cleared as well. All submissions are double blind-reviewed. Preparation of your title page should include:

   1. The title of your submission

   2. The submission type: Full Paper, Symposia, Workshop, or Idea Incubator. Student papers should also indicate “Student” on the title page

   3. The division to which you are submitting (Divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or Special Topics)

6. Submission Process: Follow the link to the IBAM submission page at ScholasticaHQ.  Note that there is a $20.00 fee per submission. At the beginning of your abstract, you should note the type of submission (paper, symposia, or incubator). If we do not see that designation, we will assume it is a full paper and referee it accordingly.

7. Register: All accepted program participants must register and attend the conference. Early registration fees ($340.00 or $265.00) must be paid by June 30, 2019, and cannot be returned after this date for any reason. Your conference registration fee covers annual IBAM membership, all meals (except Friday night), snacks and gratuities. Your registration fee does not cover the cost of lodging (residential housing or hotel) or transportation to and from the conference. Register early as fees increase to $390.00 for practitioners and faculty ($315 for students) after June 30, 2019.

8. Transportation and Lodging: Lodging will be available on the SJSU campus as previously noted for $230 for all three nights.  Register​ for SJSU housing here.  There are also hotels near the university from $300-$400 per night.  Here is a list of hotels nearby.  San Jose is served by the San Fransisco Airport (SFO) and the San Jose Airport (SJC).  Here are two options for driving directions if you are flying into San Francisco: Option 1 and Option 2. If you are flying into San Jose airport, here are driving directions. There is a public transportation option to the campus.  There is also a public rail system that connects SJSU with surrounding communities such as Mountain View.

9. Campus Map and Parking: The conference will be held in the Boccardo Business Classrooms at the School of Global Innovation and Leadership, Lucas College and Graduate School of Business. Check-in and Registration will be in BBC #105.
