    While attention to the social and environmental impacts of international business is not new, the past years have seen renewed interest due to pressing global problems such as climate change, poverty and HIV/Aids, in which firms are called upon to play a positive role, and thus contribute to more sustainable development. This applies most notably to multinational enterprises (MNEs), given their global influence and activities in which they are confronted with a range of issues, stakeholders and institutional contexts, in both home and host countries. For MNEs, this is part of a balancing act of what can be called corporate social responsibility (CSR), in which they consider their various responsibilities: economic, legal, ethical, environmental and social. In the European context, the term triple P, or People, Planet, Profit, has also been coined to likewise point to the need for managers to focus concurrently on the social, environmental and economic dimensions of corporate activity, in order to help shape the (sustainable) future of societies worldwide.

          It is sometimes suggested that MNEs’ CSR activities are becoming increasingly strategic, in the sense that they affect the core business of the firm and its growth, profitability and survival. In other words, CSR is moving from a public affairs to a core strategic activity. However, even if true, this is likely to be applicable only under certain conditions, depending on issue, stakeholder, country, industry and firm specific factors. The international dimension of these questions is extremely relevant, but has not yet been addressed systematically in international business research. Corporate social responsibility and sustainable development provide fertile areas in which both existing international business theories can be tested, and from which new insights into the dynamics of the interaction between MNEs and their national and international contexts can be induced. This includes for example, the exact workings of the interactions between Ownership or Firm-Specific Advantages, and Locational or Country-Specific Advantages, and whether or under what conditions CSR (components) may create competitive (dis)advantages at different locations.

    This special issue aims to publish papers on CSR and sustainable development that are embedded in international business literature, and aim to contribute to our field as indicated above. We welcome innovative papers, both conceptual and empirical, both qualitative and quantitative, on CSR topics in relation to, for example:

    • Degree and spread of internationalisation/regionalisation
    • Headquarter-subsidiary relationships and subsidiary roles
    • Competitive advantage, growth and development
    • Firm performance
    • Foreign direct investment
    • Convergence/divergence
    • Supply chain management, offshoring/outsourcing
    • Networks and alliances
    • Mergers and acquisitions
    • Marketing in consumer and business-to-business markets

    Call For papers

    Special Issue on: "Innovative University Programs in Technology Business
    Incubation"



    To compete in the new economy, a number of universities have been actively
    involved in designing and implementing innovative programs for promoting
    regional innovation and entrepreneurship. Over the past three decades, one
    salient approach has been the development of formal technology business
    incubation mechanisms. The goal of these university-based and university-
    sponsored organizational mechanisms is to serve as conduits facilitating
    the spillover of university knowledge through enterprise creation and
    commercialization of research results.

    Some of these technology business incubation mechanisms are developed and
    run by the universities themselves; others are offered in partnership with
    public and private organizations in the community. In all cases, their
    objective is to create more comprehensive and integrative incubation
    spaces in and around the university campuses aimed at providing seamless
    innovation milieus.

    This special issue will feature high quality research that explores
    various innovative models of these formal university incubation mechanisms
    in developed as well as emerging regions of the world. Preferred
    submissions will chronicle cases where an entrepreneurial university
    serves as the initiator and/or locus of regional innovation and
    entrepreneurship.

    Subject Coverage

    Potential topic areas suitable for review articles include but are not
    limited to:

    Business/technology incubators
    Science/research/technology parks
    Technology trampolines
    Technology/business accelerators
    Business/industry/venture centres
    Technology/research centres
    Venture funding institutes
    Technology transfer programmes/offices
    Other formal enterprise development/support mechanisms
    Notes for Intending Authors

    Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be
    currently under consideration for publication elsewhere

    All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for
    authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting
    papers are available on the Author Guidelines page

    Important Date

    Manuscript submission: 15 November, 2007

    Dear Colleagues,

    Please find below a call for papers for a special issue on value relations of the journal 'Organization' . A pdf of the call is available here: http://www.massey.ac.nz/~cprichar/CFPValueRelations.pdf

    Organization (The critical journal of organization, theory and society)

    Call for Papers-Special Issue on:

    Towards a Relational Understanding of Organization and Value: For Whom? For What? To What Effect?

    Guest Editors:

    Craig Prichard, Massey University, New Zealand
    Sarah Stookey, Central Connecticut State University, USA
    Stefano Harney, Queen Mary, University of London, UK

    Deadline for submissions: 2 March 2009

    This special issue is posed as a challenge to organizational scholars to (re)engage with the problem of how value relations constitute organizational processes and make organizations possible. Recently, concern with 'value' has been on the rise in various organization and management publications. For scholars, 'value' is a core conceptual and empirical puzzle but, when associated with 'management', value tends to be is either taken for granted or understood narrowly as a problem of how economic value is created, appropriated and distributed in organizations. Outside academic circles, however, questions of 'value' have received more contested attention.

    On the one hand, a broad neo-liberal movement has swept the western economies, bringing an increased financialization of social and political life. This new liberalism includes shareholder activism, the development of the personal finance industry, new financial tools and modes of assessment for organizations, and State-sponsored marketization and consumerization of most social and political issues. All this has extended the centrality of the consumer and the individual as the primary locus of responsibility over health, happiness, and wellbeing. How to 'add value' to one's life, to one's relationships, to one's enterprise, and to one's nation, has become standardized vernacular.

    On the other hand, the new liberalism has not gone unopposed. Counter movements have sprung up under the banners of 'fair trade', 'anti-globalization' and more recently 'global warming' or 'climate change'. Under such banners, multiple groups and constituencies including farmers, small business people, and consumers have confronted world leaders, corporations, and supra-national bureaucrats. Alongside direct action, such movements are also contributing to a debate on 'value', raising popular consciousness about the social, political, economic, and environmental genealogies of food, clothing, shelter, technologies, and energy use. In some cases, they have forced states, firms, and individuals to reconsider narrow definitions that simply identify value in terms of prices, things, and monetary units. For instance, they propose redefining value to incorporate political, social, and ecological relationships between people and between people and their environments. Some of this work challenges institutionalized 'governance' structures that organize the distribution of economic surplus in the family, the firm, and the economy.

    While these contested concerns over 'value' seem to be pointing at a need to move away from absolute or even relativist theories of value and towards more relational understandings, management scholars' response to relational definitions has been at best mixed. For many the liberal definition of value goes unquestioned. The global sourcing of profits, the intensive factory regimes in cheap labor locations, and disparities of wealth between those at various points in the global value chains are understood, for example, as global strategic choices based on competitive resources and capabilities, or as workplace cultural dynamics, or (when things don't go as planned) as issues of organizational trust and commitment. Meanwhile, despite obvious connections between notions of value and concerns of critical organizational scholars with issues such as exploitation and justice, theoretical and empirical analyses around 'value' have been largely left to mainstream scholars.

    This special issue is a response to such imbalance. It aims to advance discussion, thinking and particularly conceptualizations and writing that both revisits existing critical approaches to value in organization studies, and extends these in new and engaging directions. In this vein submitted papers might revitalize a political economy of organizations, offer creative new approaches to the analysis of organizational value relations or offer critiques of mainstream forms of value analysis. Expected contributions include, among many other possibilities:

    - New and existing approaches to understanding labor as this relates to the production, appropriation, and distribution of value in organizational processes. For example, papers might critically address the problematics of immaterial, affective, or emotional labor.

    - New and existing forms of 'value', 'rent' and 'class' analysis as this relates to management and organizational processes. For example, papers might critically address from a value or class perspective the tensions and struggles between family and work relations (the so-called 'work-life balance' issue).

    - Works that explore the transfer and distribution of value as part of the cultural, political, and symbolic dynamics of organizations. For example, papers might focus on the articulation and organization of gender, race, ethnic, disable-bodied relations and identities.

    - Works that critically analyze mainstream organizational knowledge and practice concerned with 'value management', 'value creation', and other conventional
    notions in this literature. For example, papers might critically refocus the problematics of value chains or commodity chains encompassing multiple locations and multiple forms of organizing.

    -Works that develop new categories or forms of value analysis promoting equitable and stable forms of wealth distribution in organizations, industries, and economies.

    Submission: Papers must be submitted electronically by 2 March 2009 (but not before 2 February 2009) to Sagetrack at http://org.sagepub.com/ Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guidelines published in Organization and on the journal's website:

    Exploration and Exploitation in Early-Stage Ventures and SMEs

    For publication in: Technology, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Competitive Strategy, Volume 14 (2014), Emerald

     

    Submission Deadline: October 1, 2013

    Volume Editors:

    Uriel Stettner, Tel Aviv University

    Barak S. Aharonson, Tel Aviv University

     

    Despite a growing body of research on exploration and exploitation in the management literature, scholars have tended to study this phenomenon from a narrow perspective mostly within larger, well-established organizations. (Gupta, Smith, & Shalley, 2006; Jansen, Simsek, & Cao, 2012; Lavie, Stettner, & Tushman, 2010). Exploration and exploitation are conflicting organizational activities that compete for firms' scarce resources and entail distinctive sets of skills and capabilities. When engaging in exploration and exploitation, organizations trade off short-term productivity for long-term innovation as well as stability for adaptability (Lewin, Long, & Carroll, 1999; March, 1991). Although both exploration and exploitation are essential for survival and prosperity, limited resource availability compels firms to prefer one type of activity over the other. Nevertheless, achieving a balance between exploration and exploitation is essential for firm survival and economic performance (March, 1991).

    This volume of Technology, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Competitive Strategy is devoted to research aimed at understanding the implications of Exploration and Exploitation activities in early-stage ventures and small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs). We seek papers that explore how such organizations engage the general paradox of having to balance their exploration and exploitation activities. This paradox may intensify in such firms as they generally lack an abundance of resources and capabilities (Ahuja, Lampert, & Tandon, 2008; Voss, Sirdeshmukh, & Voss, 2008) driving them away from balancing these activities and towards either exploration or exploitation. Potential research topics might include but are not limited to research that offer insights into the performance implications of balancing exploration and exploitation; balancing mechanism; strategies of early-stage ventures for building firm-level resources and competencies (Human resources, financial capital, etc.); creating dynamic capabilities; and implications to organizational creativity and innovativeness (e.g., Adner & Levinthal, 2008; Greve, 2007; Hess & Rothaermel, 2011; Jansen, Van Den Bosch, & Volberda, 2006; OReilly & Tushman, 2008; Russo & Vurro, 2010; Tzabbar, Aharonson, Amburgey, & Al-Laham, 2008).

    ·         We welcome contributions that tackle these and related issues from a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives. Contributions to this TIE-CS volume may take a range of forms, may focus on different levels of analysis, and may employ both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

    ·         Submission Guidelines

    ·         Submissions are due no later than October 1st, 2013. All papers submitted must represent original research not previously published elsewhere.

    ·         Depending on the scope that you wish to present, the chapter should be approximately 30 to 40 double spaced pages including any illustrations, figures, tables and graphs (for the format of the citations please refer to the Harvard Reference system).

    ·         All submissions will be subject to in-depth review, and editorial decisions and revision requests will be communicated to authors about four weeks after full chapter manuscript is received.

    ·         Publication of volume: about four months after final, revised chapters have been received by the volume editors; expected in July 2014.

     

    For questions regarding the content of this TIE-CS volume, the editorial process, or to submit a paper, please contact: Uriel Stettner (urielste@tau.ac.il) or Barak Aharonson (aharonson@tau.ac.il)

    Born-Global: Internationalization Strategies and Processes of New Ventures

    For publication in: Technology, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Competitive Strategy, Volume 15 (2015)

     

    Volume editors

    Barak S. Aharonson, Uriel Stettner, Terry L. Amburgey

     

    Traditionally, international business was mainly the domain of large, well-resource endowed multinational enterprises (MNEs). This was largely due to the fact their entrepreneurial counterparts have far fewer financial, human, and tangible resources, and suffer from liability of newness. Recently, entrepreneurial firms with distinctive characteristics have emerged that address resources and legitimation issues, which are at the core of their survival. Born global firms are organizations that at or near the founding of the firm are active in the international arena by design rather than by emergence (Fan and Phan, 2007; Hashai, 2011; Lopez, Kundu, and Ciravegna, 2008; Zhou, Wu, and Luo, 2007). Such firms are much smaller than their MNEs counterparts, yet they are able to establish an international presence and revenue streams rapidly (Autio, Sapienza, and Almeida, 2000; Knight and Cavusgil, 2004; McDougall and Oviatt, 2000).

     

    This volume of Technology, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Competitive Strategy is devoted to research aimed at understanding the environment in, both the home and host countries that facilitates the emergence of Born-Global organizations, the entrepreneurial actions and inclinations of these firms' founders that lead them to enter the international arena at an early stage. We seek papers that explore how such organizations are able to overcome the liability of newness and lack of resources and engage in international activities.  Research topics might include but are not limited to studies that offer insights into the relative performance implications of Born-Global firms, Born-Global strategies, factors that lead to greater success of Born-Global firms, and the learning process of building dynamic international capabilities of such firms.

     

    We welcome contributions that tackle these and related issues from a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives. Contributions to this TIE-CS volume may take a range of forms, may focus on different levels of analysis, and may employ both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

      

    Submission Guidelines

     

    All papers submitted must represent original research not previously published elsewhere. Depending on the scope that you wish to present, the chapter should be approximately 30-40 double-spaced pages including any illustrations, figures, tables and graphs. References to other publications must be in APA 6th Edition reference style.

     

    All copyedited submissions will be subject to in-depth review, and editorial decisions and revision requests will be communicated to authors.

    CALL for PAPERS
    Organizational Sustainability
    Special Issue of Current Topics in Management (a scholarly annual journal)

    Editors
    John H. Grant, Colorado State University (grantjh@aol.com),
    Sanda Kaufman, Cleveland State University (s.kaufman@csuohio.edu)
    Afzal Rahim, Center for Advanced Studies in Management (1990icam@gmail.com)

    In this special issue of Current Topics in Management, we want to consider organizational sustainability in its broadest sense. We seek articles that address all aspects and current challenges to organizational leadership and management processes deriving from the need to sustain in time organizations at various scales, including networks of private and public sector organizations operating around the globe. We are also seeking case studies, research notes, and book reviews.
    The sustainability of organizations has both internal and external dimensions, dynamics, and concerns related to the social-ecological systems within which they operate and on which they depend. They include effects of globalization, population trends, climate change, natural resources, technology, workforce education, regulatory environments, and international conflicts that impact the ability of organizations to attain objectives over extended time periods. Researchers and international organizations around the world have begun to explore organizational consequences of these challenges as well as novel ways to meet them.
    CTM’s special issue seeks articles that address all aspects of organizational sustainability, including, but not limited to:
    • The contributions and impact of international organizations (e.g., the United Nations) and global initiatives to organizational management;
    • Best sustainable practices and pitfalls of various managerial approaches with respect to the social and ecological environments and to resource bases;
    • Performance measures for assessing and monitoring sustainable managerial practices;
    • Managerial political and ethical considerations related to sustainability and to environmental justice concerns;
    • Theoretical concepts, principles and tools (e.g., market failures, the commons and other social dilemmas, the precautionary principle, robust decision making, scenario building) and their applicability to sustainable managerial practices.
    Submission process: Articles must be prepared according to the Style Guide of the American Psychological Association and should be in the range of 25-35 pages and should be submitted as attached files in Word to Sanda Kaufman by June 15, 2015. The case studies and research notes should be in the range of 10-15 pages and book reviews in the range of 3-5 pages.

    Dear Moderator would it be possible to transmit the following message?  Thank you

     

    Dear BPSers,

     

    Please see below call for papers for The Journal of Strategic Contracting and Negotiation, a new journal in collaboration between Sage Publications and the International Association for Contract and Commercial Management. 

     

    Become part of a growing and vibrant community and help our new born journal grow to be big and strong.

     

    Tyrone S. Pitsis

    Usha Haley

    David Van Slyke

     

     

    Submit your research to

    Journal of Strategic Contracting and Negotiation

     

    The Journal of Strategic Contracting and Negotiation, the official journal of the International Association for Contract and Commercial Management (IACCM), is an outlet for cutting edge research and theory about practices that challenge the status quo in strategic contracting and negotiations, and the commercial implementation of business strategy or policy.

     

    A significant gap exists between the knowledge and experiences gathered through scholarly research and theory on strategy, contracting and negotiation, and the everyday practices of leaders, managers and employees who engage in processes and practices of contracting and negotiating as part of their everyday working life. JSCAN actively bridges this scholar-practice divide, which we believe will make it an invaluable resource for our audience of scholars, executives, managers, and employees.

     

    At JSCAN we are looking for papers that address the core aims and objectives of our journal:

    ·         Papers that speak to the complexity of relational contracting

    ·         Papers that focus on the relational qualities of contracting

    ·         Papers that offer insights into contracting in private, public, and third sectors.

    ·         Papers that provide insights into performance based contracts

    ·         Papers that advance our understanding of contracting under complexity and ambiguity

    ·         Papers that explore the practices of negotiation as an ongoing process (not just something that happened until a contract is signed)

    ·         Papers that advance theory but also speak directly to practice

     

    Benefits of publishing in JSCAN include:

    ·         JSCAN is the official journal of the IACCM which has a membership of over 30,000 people across 158 countries

    ·         8,000 IACCM members have direct online access to JSCAN which means your research will reach business, government and non-government organizations globally

    ·         All JSCAN articles are published with an accompanying one page Executive Summary created by experts within IACCM, which means your research will be easily digestible and accessible to members

    ·         JSCAN is a SAGE journal, which means you are publishing with the world's largest independent academic publisher, and one of the top 5 leading global publishing houses overall

    ·         You can create video summaries of your research which can be viewed through the SAGE and IACCM websites

     

    We also welcome submissions for special issues, so if you have an idea for a special issue please contact Tyrone S. Pitsis tyrone.pitsis@newcastle.ac.uk.
