Doctoral Consortium
The day before the main event, PhD students are invited to an in-person seminar for instruction by top platform scholars as well as a top editor at Management Science. Learn the best research approaches as well as the means to get published in the top journals.
Students interested in attending the doctoral consortium should submit an abstract or paper to the PhD track on easychair.
PhD Scholar & Firm Research Matching Market
To create meaningful impact, a mini-conference will bridge platform research and practice. This year, for the first time, we will host a matching market between firms and leading academics. Select firms will present platform challenges they are willing to sponsor. Academics interested in conducting original platform research with host firms can seek to apply their skills to real problems, help firms advance platform execution, and publish results. Only scholars that have had papers accepted at this or any prior year’s BU Platform Summit are eligible (short papers and posters count). The matching market will be hosted as a private dinner with cocktails prior to the main event.
