Dear Colleagues,
please find below a CfP for the Inaugural Issue of the
"International Journal of Opportunity, Growth and Value Creation (IJOGVC)"
Focus topic of this issue is: "OPPORTUNITY"
- including, but not limited to issues related to the Identification -
Recognition - Creation - Selection - Exploitation of Opportunities
Paper Submission Deadline: 1 March 2008

The IJOGVC proposes and fosters discussion on the organisational
processes surrounding the concepts of opportunity, growth and value
creation. Because the exploitation of opportunities, the subsequent
growth of organisations around these opportunities and the value
created by both processes are so vital to the creation and
redistribution of societal wealth, the development and the
dissemination of more systematic knowledge are required.
Whilst some preliminary and traditional efforts in this direction have
been taken, IJOGVC is open to new, creative and innovative research
approaches, designs and methods. In an attempt to bridge the gap
between research and practice, it emphasises the implications of this
new knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and
business educators.
Objectives
The objective of IJOGVC is to provide an international forum in the
field of management with the particular focus on the phenomena of
opportunity, growth and value creation by publishing quality research
articles. It also aims to promote and to coordinate developments in
these fields of management. As these areas have both industrial and
societal implications, IJOGVC encourages the broadening and deepening
of thought in these fields.
Furthermore, IJOGVC has been established to be an effective channel of
communication between researchers, managers, and policy makers as well
others concerned with the complex and dynamic role of opportunity,
growth and value creation in society. The international dimension is
emphasised in acknowledgement of the growing globalisation of business
and management and in order to overcome cultural and national barriers.
Readership
IJOGVC provides a vehicle to help academics, professionals,
researchers and policy makers, working in the field of
entrepreneurship, strategy, management and business education, to
create and to disseminate quality knowledge. The journal also provides
a forum to allow interested parties to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJOGVC publishes original papers, conceptual papers, empirical papers,
review papers, case studies, relevant reports, book reviews, notes,
commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in
Opportunity, Growth and Value Creation and related topics will be
