Submission text (single author) * The single-authored submission text should be neither published nor submitted for publication in any form. Depending on the type of PhD dissertation you are writing and on how advanced you are in your doctoral journey, you should submit one of the following:

a) An expanded research proposal regardless of what kind of dissertation you are doing (mainly if you are not that advanced in your PhD yet).
b) A summary of your conventional monograph PhD dissertation.
c) A summary of each paper done/planned in your compilation PhD dissertation (i.e. three-four paper-PhD), and a summary of your compilation PhD dissertation as a whole.
d) A particular paper from your compilation PhD dissertation that you would like to get feedback on (with an introduction to the overall dissertation and how it connects with the rest of your dissertation).

Regardless of your choice (i.e. 1, 2, 3 or 4 as above) your submitted document must include the following elements and sections:

• What text-type you are submitting (either 3a, 3b, 3c or 3d see above)
• Bullet points list of particular questions/issues you are encountering and would like to get feedback/ advice at the Doctoral Colloquium*.* This is the key information we will be looking for in your submitted document. This information could include academic issues/questions, for instance, (a) refining your research focus, (b) choosing a theoretical angle or methodological perspective, (c) sharpening your contributions to knowledge and practice, (d) aligning your theoretical angle(s) with your methodology and interpretation of your data etc. In addition to these academic issues/questions, pastoral and career-related questions could be asked; for instance, (a) how to publish from your PhD, (b) how to translate your PhD research to influence policy e.g., contribute to policy consultations etc.
• A short abstract (max. 300 words)
• Up to 6 keywords

The following outline/headlines should guide your submission:

• Introduction (including importance of your topic; the disciplinary and empirical/practical context in which this study has evolved and identified a research problem; and associated research questions)
• Relevance of your dissertation: amplification of the above theoretically, empirically, practically, and in terms of policy implications (if any)

*Please note that Introduction and Relevance sections are highly important not only to put your research in the academic context of your chosen domain of management but also to highlight relevance of your research for practice and policy and how you as a responsible researcher has the potential to offer sustainable solutions through your PhD.

Your submission should include the following sections:

• Introduction: This section should include the importance of your topic; the disciplinary and empirical/practical context in which your study has evolved and identified a research problem; and the associated research questions).
• Relevance of your dissertation: This section should include the amplification of the above theoretically, empirically, practically, and in terms of policy implications (if any).
• *Please note that the Introduction and Relevance sections are highly important not only to put your research in the academic context of your chosen domain of management but also to highlight the relevance of your research for practice and policy and how you as a responsible researcher have the potential to offer sustainable solutions through your PhD.
• Theoretical framework/Key literature streams: This section should discuss the literature and theoretical perspectives you are building on (if you are taking an interdisciplinary approach; this is the space in which you can articulate how the premises of each literature/disciplinary stream influence your research questions).
• Methodological approach/es and method/s used:  This section should explain the methodological details of your dissertation. Please pay attention to the alignment between theoretical and methodological choices made; and the justification of the methodological approach/methods you chose within the broader context of your research problematisation.
