Abstract

Purpose: This paper aims to adopt the pitching research template of Professor Robert Faff for a proposed research project on financial statement comparability and takeover efficiency.

Design/methodology/approach: This paper starts with a brief background on using the pitch research template of Professor Robert Faff pitching methodology for core elements of the research project. Then, the authors’ personal reflections on the pitch exercise are discussed.

Findings: It is found that the template is helpful in articulating and refining the research ideas among co-authors. It is an excellent way to communicate the research ideas to the panel of editors.

Originality/value: The pitching template is an effective tool for mid-career researchers to position their research ideas in the literature.
