The Research Development Workshop is a newly launched conference event at CSAMSE 2025, designed to advance research in the frontier fields of management science, bringing together leading scholars to explore cutting-edge developments in theory and practice. This workshop pairs each presenter with a carefully selected senior discussant. Through in-depth discussions and open Q&A, the workshop fosters a collaborative atmosphere and provides participants with valuable feedback, expanded professional networks, new ideas, and potential collaboration opportunities.

In alignment with this year's conference theme, the workshop will focus on presentations at the intersection of AI and Management Science. The presentation papers of the pilot program this year will be by invitation only. In the future, the presenting papers, along with the related research projects, will be selected through open submission.

Format:

This year’s Research Development Workshop will feature THREE presenters, with each allocated approximately one hour for presentation and discussion. The detailed schedule is as follows:

l Presentation (30 minutes): Each presenter will have 30 minutes to present their paper.

l Discussant Feedback (15 minutes): The discussant will provide feedback for 15 minutes, after which the presenter will respond to the discussant's comments.

l Open Q&A (15 minutes):  An additional 15 minutes will be reserved for the audience to engage in discussion with both the presenter and the discussant.

Instructions for Presenter and Discussant:

For presenters, we kindly ask you to present a high-quality scientific research paper, which should be either a paper under review or a working paper with a completed draft. The organizing committee will match each presenter with an appropriate senior discussant by early June 2025. Presenters are required to send their papers to their assigned discussant at least one month before the workshop begins.

For discussants, we kindly request that you thoroughly review the assigned paper in advance and prepare feedback in the form of a few slides to be presented during the 15-minute feedback session.
