Opis

Becoming an Organizational Scholar covers reflective, personal stories of prolific, top scholars under the age of 45, with academic success gained across 17 different European and North and South American countries at 31 higher education institutions. The editors present the idea of a unique or authentic scholar, successfully 'navigating the academic odyssey'. Reflecting upon their career journeys through introspection and narrative chapters, the contributors clarify the definition and description of academia, its activities, roles and different aspects related to academic work. They express their opinions on academic success factors and common career development obstacles while offering possible coping mechanisms on how to address them. Though the content is primarily targeted for the rising cohort of doctoral candidates and early career researchers, this publication also targets the institutional gatekeepers, the universities and business schools worldwide, as well as professional associations in the field of organization and management.
