Paper submission will be exclusively online.<\/p>

Paper submission is free of charge. However, if the paper is accepted for presentation at SemeAd, one of the authors must register as a participant.<\/p>

The papers must be unpublished.<\/p>

Works in progress are accepted, as long as they have already been presented at conferences other than SemeAd and have not been submitted to and\/or published in scientific journals.<\/p>

Papers may be submitted in one of four (4) categories and in academic article format: (1) theoretical<\/b>, papers focused on the review, discussion, and development of theories on a particular topic; (2) theoretical-empirical<\/b>, papers anchored in a theoretical problem (a gap or contradiction in the theory) that conduct empirical research using inductive (propositions) or deductive (hypotheses) logic, applying qualitative or quantitative methods; (3) applied articles<\/b>, papers that employ theoretical models to reveal knowledge about organizations or groups of organizations (sectors or networks) or develop and\/or test managerial models for organizations; and (4) teaching cases<\/b>, works with educational objectives focused on situations or organizational problems, developed as classroom activities.<\/p>

Papers may be submitted in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.<\/p>

Papers must not contain any identification or indication of authorship in the “properties” field or in the body of the paper.<\/p>

Papers must be submitted in PDF format.<\/p>

Each paper may have a maximum of five (5) authors.<\/p>

Each author may submit up to three (3) papers among the categories of theoretical articles, applied articles, and teaching cases, and one (1) thesis project for the Doctoral Consortium activity.<\/p>

Authors must register on the SemeAd system. For registration, authors must have the CPF number of each Brazilian author at hand. For foreign authors, there is a specific procedure.<\/p>

Changes to author data (inclusion, exclusion, and changes in authorship order) may only be made until the submission deadline.<\/p>

The author responsible for the submission must indicate the co-authorship of the other authors. After the submission process is finalized, co-authors will receive an email to confirm their co-authorship. Authors who do not confirm their co-authorship in the system will not be listed in the event proceedings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
