The Doctoral Consortium will be held on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, one day prior to the beginning of the Annual Conference.

We invite doctoral students in Management and related areas to submit their proposals according to the deadline indicated below. The Coordinators of the event will be Wilson Toshiro Nakamura (Mackenzie), Antonio Zoratto Sanvicente (Insper) and Darcy Mitiko Mori Hanashiro (Mackenzie).

The Doctoral Consortium aims to provide to the participants:

• Observations and recommendations on the general structure and content of the proposals
• Guidelines regarding the publication of their research in journals of greater impact
• Interaction with others interested in the same areas
• Expansion of their networking, in particular with senior faculty of different schools and other doctoral students

Our purpose therefore is to contribute to doctoral students in Management and related areas who wish to be better prepared to enter the field of academic research, with special emphasis on issues related to Latin American organizations and markets. The Doctoral Consortium will take place on March 27, 2012 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). We will invite faculty with extensive experience and knowledge of the reality of academic research in Latin America to participate and help develop future scholars..
