CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to announce the 2nd Journal of Management and Governance’s paper development workshop organized at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in Rome (Lazio, Italy).

This paper development workshop helps to develop ideas and working manuscripts with the aim of later submission to the Journal of Management and Governance (Q1, Impact factor 4.0, Citescore 9.6) or similar international academic journals.

The paper development workshop, which comprises developmental paper sessions and a doctoral stream, addresses key areas of management and governance.
