Upon the nomination from the Department of Management and Marketing, Dr. Haitao Yu, Assistant Professor in Management, had recently joined the intensive four-day Wharton Global Faculty Development Program. This immersive program was thoughtfully crafted to deepen participants’ understanding of the research and publication process. Participants chosen from business schools around the globe had the privilege to learn directly from distinguished scholars like Prof. Martine Haas, Prof. Rahul Kapoor, Prof. Matthew Bidwell, and Prof. Lori Rosenkopf on managing the journey from initial idea generation to navigating peer review and eventual publication in top journals, such as Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, and Journal of International Business Studies.
Dr. Yu valued their candid sharing of the paper development process, the importance of engaging constructively with reviewers, and how papers often undergo radical transformations, sometimes shifting across journal outlets. Beyond the academic insights, this program also offered a unique opportunity to connect with fellow scholars from around the world.
