Like the reality TV show, contestants will “pitch” their paper ideas to a panel of leading management scholars who then, along with the audience, will be asked to vote for the most promising paper. Each contestant will be given 6 to 7 minutes (no more than 5 power point slides) to summarize the study during the live session (i.e., make the pitch). After each pitch, the panelists will ask questions and offer commentary, with all the edginess (and good humor) that one might expect in a session that has “Shark Tank” in the title! After all pitches have been made, members of the audience will vote for the most promising research using Google Forms (using the QR code on the handout given to attendees at the session). The top scorer will be offered more extensive feedback after the event.
