Dear
DRUID21 organizing committee
My
name is Ernest Miguelez, co-author of the paper
referenced below, accepted for presentation at DRUID21
(ID: 6121).
It
was my co-author, Dr. Coda-Zabetta (in cc) who submitted
in the first place. He has another paper accepted (ID:6035).
Unfortunately, none of his co-authors will be able to be
present at DRUID, so I offer myself to present our
common paper, so he can present the other (and we follow
the rule of one attendee-one paper). Now, I have a
couple of issues that I hope we could solve:
1)
My secretary is still on holidays, and not back until
early September. French rules do not allow me to pay the
fees and then be reimbursed. It is the University which
has to pay directly. So the first question is: if I pay
in early September, is our paper going to be removed or
moved to poster session? In fact, I have already 1
co-author registered (Dr. Coda-Zabetta).
2)
Due to family issues, I am unable to spend many days in
a row outside home. Therefore, as our paper is scheduled
for the 20th, I won't be able to act as discussant on
the 18th. I would therefore like to request if my
discussion could be scheduled on the same day 20 or so.
I understand this is a strong request, but I hope you
can help me with this. I didn't plan to attend the
conference this year, so if you can be somewhat flexible
with this, it would be extremely helpful.
Looking
forward to your answer, and hope to see you all in
Copenhagen!

Dear Ernest Miguelez ,
Paper ID: 6126 , Paper title: " Foreign Managers and the
Direction of FDIs: Firm-Based Evidence "
We have now reached a decision regarding the submissions
to be presented during the upcoming DRUID21. The
decision has been made according to the criteria stated
in the call for papers, i.e. novelty, academic quality
and the proposed paper's relation to industrial dynamics
in general and to the themes of the conference in
particular. All papers have been reviewed anonymously by
at least three reviewers working independently of each
other. As stated during the submission process we regret
that no review or comments will be offered to the author
or authors to supplement the decision.
We are pleased to inform you that your paper: " Foreign
Managers and the Direction of FDIs: Firm-Based Evidence
" has been accepted for oral presentation.
Your paper is scheduled for presentation on Wednesday,
October 20 and you have been assigned as session
discussant Monday, October 18. Please avoid making
travel arrangements that might prevent you from

conference website when available by October 1 as some
changes are bound to occur. Information regarding
session formats and roles as presenter and as discussant
will be provided under "Program" in the blue banner at

Each participant can only present one paper. If you have
more than one paper accepted, a co-author must register

you prefer to present, and we will remove the other(s)
from the program.

GUIDELINES FOR PAPER PRESENTERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Each participant will only be allowed to present one
paper during the conference. Coauthored papers may be
presented by any of the participating coauthors.
The basic format of all PAPER SESSIONS (plenary as well
as parallel) is as follows.
Each session normally include three papers and lasts
about one and a half hours.
The standard time schedule looks like this:
First paper presentation by the author = 15 minutes
Second paper presentation by the author = 15 minutes
Third paper presentation by the author = 15 minutes
First discussant of all three papers = 12 minutes
Second discussant of all three papers = 12 minutes
General discussion and replies from the authors =
approximately 20 minutes.
Computer projectors will be available for PowerPoint
presentations. Please bring your presentation on a USB
memory device.
With a conference of this size, we ask you to remember
some basic rules when making your presentation. In order
that everyone has sufficient time to speak it is
important that you exercise discipline, particularly
time management. These notes are intended to inform you
of how each session will be organized.
- Please arrive at the appropriate room five minutes
before the session is due to start. All rooms are
equipped with black out facilities and a projector.
Please that you must arrive with your presentation on a
USB memory device and load it yourself onto the machine
provided in the room BEFORE the start of the session. It
might be a good idea to do so well in advance. Solicit
advice at the info desk or through student assistants if
experiencing trouble.
- Introduce yourself to the other presenters and the
chair. Give the chair your biographical details for use
in introducing you. Ideally, to assist the chair these
should be in writing.
- Present your paper in judicious language. Disclose any
financial or other interest you might have in the
subject matter of the papers. Acknowledge contributions
of co-authors. Structure your presentation so that you
have time for your findings and their possible
implications (when relevant). Avoid or explain uncommon
abbreviations or terms.
- The chair will tell you at the beginning of the
session how long your presentation can last. This will
inevitably vary between sessions depending on the number
of papers to be presented. In a one and a half hour
session with three papers, you should aim to speak for
no more than 15 minutes leaving time for your
discussants and for the floor.
- We have asked session chairs to be very strict in
terms of time management so that each presenter has an
equal amount of time.
- During your presentation the session chair will pass
you three cards indicating that your time allocation is
coming to an end. - Five minutes presentation time
remaining. - Two minutes presentation time remaining. -
If you are shown the RED card this means your time is
over. Finish your sentence and STOP your presentation.
Chairs have been asked to be polite but firm in
allocating time.
