Philippine Academy of Management

Twelve participants attended the PAoM doctoral seminar on writing a scholarly paper held at the Asian Institute of Management last July 31.  Facilitated by Dr. Ben Teehankee (chair of professional development) and assisted by Dr. Ginny Santiago (chair for research and publications), the seminar covered strategies for organizing information supporting a paper to achieve both relevance and rigour. 

Participants from De La Salle University's Doctor of Business Administration Program and Ateneo de Manila's PhD in Leadership Studies and PhD in Psychology learned more efficient methods for sourcing articles from the top journals as well as from relevant local journals,  preparing annotations of these articles with the aid of technology tools (Foxit Reader, GoogleDocs, EBSCO database, Wikipedia and Scholar Google), and identifying important research gaps (i.e., theoretical, substantive, empirical and contextual) which call for scholarly contributions from doctoral students.

Participants included the following:  From DLSU: Evelio G. Echavez, Rommel R. Serrano, Pedro P. Benedicto Jr., Enrique Antonio B. Reyes, Ricardo G. Cruz, Jr., and Jenny S. Eizaguirre.   From Ateneo: Sr. Marivic A. Galamay, Juanita R. Gueco, Jocelyn M. Nolasco, Raul P. Rodriguez, Noel M. Cortez, and Maria Victoria T. Cortez.

Dr. Santiago invited  the participants to submit articles for the forthcoming maiden issue of the Journal of the Philippine Academy of Management.  A follow-up writing workshop will be organized by PAoM a few months in the future to provide further support for the aspiring doctorates. 

Participants try their hand at using Foxit Reader to annotate PDF journal articles.
