Session Submission Type: Roundtable Proposal
These papers about organizational communication are not just Good, they are B.E.S.T. -- Brief, Entertaining Scholarly Talks. In this format, each participant will give a 4-5 minute, high-energy, technology-enhanced presentation designed to excite the audience about the research. After the presentations, B.E.S.T. presenters will divide into three breakout groups and meet with audience members to more deeply engage issues raised by that subset of presenters. Respondents will guide the breakout discussion, keep the presentations rolling, and provide private feedback to authors on their papers.
Waveland Press will honor the “Best of the B.E.S.T.” with a special award.
