Apologies for cross-postings... On behalf of Kirsty Spence, Chair OBTS NEA Selection Committee...
Dear Colleagues,
Please see information below about the 2011 OBTS New Educator Award nomination process and criteria for selection. Nominations are officially open for the 2011 New Educator Award. Please carefully consider the criteria for this special award and nominate someone you know who fits the "letter and spirit" of what the NEA is all about!
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of the OBTS New Educator Award is to recognize a person who has shown early promise to make a difference in the field of management education. They are the new voices who promise to bring new ways of thinking about and practicing management education.
Criteria for Selection: To be eligible, nominees are to be at an early stage of their teaching careers. This includes a recent Ph.D. (within the past 5 years) who takes a full time, tenure track position following completion of their degree, or a Ph.D. who spends several years in a non-academic position, has very limited or no adjunct teaching experience during that time, and then (within the past 5 years) takes a full time, tenure track position. The New Educator Award recognizes an early-career person who is an exceptional classroom instructor and educational innovator and who has shown cutting-edge promise and creativity in his or her teaching, conference presentations, or publishing in the area of management education.
Requirements: Official nomination of individual by oneself or others is required. Once formally nominated, the initial application is to document commitment and contributions to teaching and learning. Materials should include:
1. a personal statement of teaching philosophy (2-5 pages);
2. an up-to-date CV;
3. several course syllabi that reflect teaching philosophy in action;
4. sample feedback materials (peer reviews, student evaluations, or other documentation) on teaching commitment and effectiveness; and,
5. a writing sample, such as an article or chapter on aspects of pedagogy, is desirable but optional, as is involvement in other professional or service activities that focus on teaching.
Deadlines associated with the NEA: Nominations are being sent to Kirsty Spence (kspence@brocku.ca), Chair of the NEA Selection Committee by Thursday, January 20, 2011, The nominee's application package is due (also to Kirsty Spence, kspence@brocku.ca) by Friday, February 18, 2011. The deadlines are set up such that the winner may have ample time to prepare to attend OBTC 2011 at Marquette University in Milwaukee. As Chair, Kirsty will be glad to discuss with anyone a potential nominee or answer any questions you may have about this award.
Reviewers on the Selection Committee for the OBTS New Educator Award seek to receive from the nominee a focused, succinct presentation of self-as-educator. Reviewers do not seek volumes of material; rather, the file should speak to the candidate's merits and teaching strengths in a focused manner. Finalists may be requested to submit a more complete teaching portfolio as needed.
The Society: The OBTS Teaching Society for Management Educators is the oldest international professional organization dedicated to teaching and learning excellence in the organizational and management sciences. Society members are faculty at universities and colleges throughout the world, as well as business educators and management consultants. Through our annual teaching conference, regional professional development activities, strategic alliances, and publications (including the peer-reviewed Journal of Management Education), OBTS continuously strives to be a premiere provider of critical resources that impact the quality and future of management education.

I suspect that if you're receiving this email, you already have a doctorate, or are at least in the process of earning one. You probably don't want another. I don't blame you. But perhaps you know of others who might be interested in obtaining a doctorate. If so, would you mind alerting them (particularly if they are competent) to the opportunity to earn their doctorate at the University of Oxford's Said Business School? Within our Strategy, Entrepreneurship, and International (SEIB) group, we've built up a strong group of researchers interested in a broad array of topics. You can find out more about the SEIB group here:
http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/research/seib/Pages/default.aspx
We're anxious to take on additional doctoral students. We provide them very individualized supervision and they have access to the various resources, wonders, and oddities of Oxford, including being a member of a college (think Harry Potter):
http://www.ox.ac.uk/
Within the Said Business School, we also have several world-class research centres with which the doctoral students may be affiliated, some of which provide scholarships and other support:

The International Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM) holds its Second Conference "Brokering Knowledge" in Valencia (Spain) from March 20st (Tuesday) to March 22nd (Thursday), 2012. Twelve editors of leading journals will participate in this 2nd Conference. It is organized by the Universitat de València and the Universidad Católica de Valencia. The following editors-in-chief have confirmed their presence and participation:
David Audretsch (Small Business Economics),
Robert Blackburn (International Small Business Journal),
Ghauri Pervez (International Business Review),
Theresa Welbourne (Human Resource Management),
John Peters (Management Decision),
Slawek Magala (Journal of Organizational Change Management),
Rick D. Hackett (Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences),
Bruce Tracey (Cornell Hospitality Quarterly),
Adrian Ziderman (International Journal of Manpower),
Gary Akehurst (Service Industries Journal),
Rodney Turner (International Journal of Project Management),
Vlad Vaiman (European Journal of International Management).
The overall theme of the Conference will be broken down into subtopics, with a total of twelve sessions, one for each journal. In this way, the various areas can be adapted to the different streams of research and editorial policies of each journal and editor participating at the Conference.
The journal editor corresponding to each area will open the session with an outline of Trend in the future in his/her journal. Authors will then go on to present the papers chosen for each session.
One of the results of the Conference is to select papers that, depending on the specialty of the journal and the quality of the papers, will constitute special issues of each of the journals.
Each of the twelve Sessions-Tracks (and consequently the special issues) would have three coordinators (that would be the guest editors of the special issue). Once the Conference has concluded, the guest editors (as well as the editor-in-chief of the journal) for each session will decide which papers are to be recommended for inclusion in the special issues/section of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality of submissions, the best papers will be published in the special issues of these SSCI journals.
This will make this and subsequent Conferences organized by the Editor Network of the International Network of Business and Management Journals
(INBAM) quite unique.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The "big picture" strategy questions...
Where do competitive & distinctive advantages come from, and how are they sustained?
Why do some companies consistently outperform their competitors?
Why do some businesses succeed in the same industry environments where others fail?
And what, if anything, can managers and entrepreneurs actually do about it?
What are the unique challenges of building and sustaining competitive advantage in
special contexts like new ventures and international business?
The aim of this annual conference is to improve our ability to answer these "big picture"
questions and other related questions of corporate strategy, entrepreneurial strategy, and international strategy, by bringing together some of the world's top researchers on competitive advantage for three days each year in Atlanta.
We expect to:
Share cutting-edge research, ideas, and theories;
Foster collaborative research efforts;
Build a worldwide association and network of researchers who are dedicated to
advancing the state of knowledge about competitive advantage.
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCESS
The conference organizers invite the submission of unpublished working papers that advance the state of knowledge about competitive advantage addressing the "big picture" questions posed above.
We are especially interested in increasing the number of submissions that address research questions about competitive advantage in the special contexts of entrepreneurship and international business.
Conference registration fee will be WAIVED for ALL authors of accepted papers.
All authors of accepted papers will also receive catered meals and deeply discounted
hotel rates ($129 per night at the conference hotel - internet service included-while
room supply lasts), but will be expected to pay for their own hotel, airfare, & other
travel expenses.
Submitted papers will undergo a selection process, NOT a formal review process -- so
we will not provide reviews or other feedback on any submitted manuscript.
Submitting a paper represents a commitment that at least one of the authors will attend and participate in whatever session the paper gets scheduled for, whenever during the conference that session is scheduled. Authors who commit to attend and participate but then fail to do so, for any reason other than an immediate genuine emergency, may be excluded from participation in future ACAC meetings.
In addition to regular paper-presentation sessions, authors may also choose to allow their submitted papers to be considered for two other alternative session formats:
1.) A small percentage of papers will be selected for high-profile visual presentation session, similar to a "SMS-style" poster session, (held at the time and place where refreshments are being served, in order to maximize audience size);
or
2.) A research-development workshop session (where authors will provide feedback to each other on their papers in small groups, under the guidance of experienced researchers serving as group facilitators).
Papers must be submitted via the ACAC 2011 submission system using the
link below (please copy and paste the link into your browser):
https://emory.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_aVrIBrM3RkffO16
Submitters will be asked to first provide the manuscript information and author
information. The submission system will then provide step-by-step instructions on how
to proceed with the final submission of the manuscript.
Papers must be submitted either in Microsoft Word or in PDF format.
The DEADLINE for submissions is Monday, February 14, 2011.
Additional information about the Atlanta Competitive Advantage Conference is available on-line
at: http://robinson.gsu.edu/acac/index.html
For any questions or comments about the conference or its policies, or technical problems
about the submission system please e-mail ACAC@gsu.edu and place 'ACAC 2011' in the
subject line.

Martha S. Feldman feldmanm@uci.edu

Call for papers
The increasingly uncertain and fast-changing environments in which today's organisations operate call for a shift of attention from organisations - and organisational practices or routines - as fixed entities to the distributed (Hutchins 1995) and situated (Suchman 1987, Lave 1988) dynamics by which they emerge and are constructed. Capturing how organisations learn to strike a balance between stability/coherence and change/flexibility, however, is non-trivial. It requires abandoning static views of organisation to reveal the micro-dynamics of organising, including the processes through which organisational routines and capabilities emerge and evolve.
If the first step towards a dynamic characterisation of routines entails focusing on the interaction between structure and agency (Feldman, 2000; Feldman and Pentland, 2003), a next step involves acknowledging the key role that artefacts, objects, tools and technologies play in the creation and recreation of routines and in the process(es) of organizing (Pentland and Feldman 2008, D'Adderio 2008). Artefacts can play a part in the assembling, disassembling and reassembling of practices and routines both in everyday organizational life (Nicolini, Gherardi and Yanow, 2003; Rafaeli and Pratt, 2006) and during times of disruption (Lanzara, 1983; Quinn and Worline, 2008). As "inscriptions" embodying specific configurations or patterns of actions (Barley 1986, Callon 1986, Akrich 1992, Latour 1992) and interpretations (Pinch and Bijker 1984) they may participate in the deconstruction and reconstruction of routines as they fold and unfold.
Thus, as we scholars take routines apart conceptually, and reassemble them from the ground up, we can learn from the distributed range of artefacts and objects that are typically involved in the course of enacting a routine, including, but not limited to, tools, forms, meters, rules and procedures, computer systems, classifications, spatial arrangements (Nelson and Winter, 1982; Cohen et al, 1996; Bowker and Star, 1999; Orlikowski, 2000; Schulz, 2008; Leonardi and Barley, 2008). Focusing on how configurations of artefacts and people come together and are stabilised in recurrent but continuously challenged patterns of interaction can provide valuable insights into how organisational routines are assembled and into the dynamics of stability and change.
In our quest to explore the interplay between routines and artefacts we encourage new perspectives drawing on diverse scholarly fields including – but not limited to - Organization Science, Science and Technology Studies, Innovation Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Information Systems and Anthropology. Interdisciplinary approaches can promote a more advanced understanding of the role of artefacts in routines emergence and evolution, change and adaptation, transfer and replication. We invite theoretical and theoretically-informed empirical papers and methodological contributions that advance our understanding of the relationship between routines/practices and objects/artefacts. We are particularly interested in papers based on case studies or empirically grounded theorizing, although we also welcome more conceptual-philosophical treatments, with a possible – although not exclusive – focus on the following topics:
· How are artefacts implicated in the production and reproduction of practices/routines?
· What are the processes by which artefacts influence routines and practices dynamics including their emergence and persistence, transfer and replication?
· How do artefacts stabilize practices/routines and support routinization? How do artefacts disrupt routinization?
· What is the role that artefacts play in the evolution of practices/routines? And vice-versa, how do artefacts change as a consequence of being involved in the performance of routines?
· What is the relationship between artefacts and human agency in the production of practices/routines? What kind of agency do artefacts exhibit?
· Which are the different ways in which we can characterise and classify artefacts? How can different ways of theorising artefacts influence our understanding of their nature and role?
· What methodological approaches can be used to improve our understanding of the nature and role of artefacts in practices/routines?
Please submit a short paper of no more than 3,000 words by January 16, 2011 via the EGOS Website at: http://www.egosnet.org/
We look forward to seeing you in Gothenburg.

Dear Colleagues,
Preparation for the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC) 2011 Conference in Montreal, Quebec is well under way. We invite scholars and doctoral students to submit empirical and theoretical papers or symposia to the Strategy Division, in English or French. The research should focus on Business Policy and Strategy and other related disciplines. It could employ a variety of methodologies from statistical, simulation, mathematical modelling to case studies, and using multiple level of analysis including the firm, industry and country.
Paper Submission
· Original papers, written in English or French, should be submitted electronically to the Strategy Division. All submissions should be made in Microsoft Word format only. Other formats (such as PDF) will not be accepted. Since submissions will be reviewed in a double blind manner, please ensure that your work is anonymized such that the identity and institutional affiliation of the author(s) are not evident. All contributions will be peer reviewed, and selected papers will be included in the Proceedings.
· Papers must conform to the ASAC Typing Style Guide (http://asac2011.uqam.ca/ASAC%202011%20%20TYPING%20STYLE%20GUIDE.pdf) and must not exceed fifteen (15) single-spaced pages (use Times New Roman 11), including all author information, the title of the paper, maximum 50-word abstract, all footnotes and endnotes, all tables, figures, and appendices but excluding references. On a separate page, indicate the authors' names, affiliations, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses and to whom all communications should be directed [Students should also indicate their status and the school in which they are enrolled.]
· All contributions must be submitted via the conference webpage (www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asac2011) no later than February 1st, 2011. Late contributions or contributions made directly to divisional executive members will not be accepted.
Symposia and Workshops
Members interested in organizing a symposium or workshop should prepare a detailed description of its overall purpose and the specific role of each participant and submit it via the conference website (www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asac2011) no later than February 1st, 2011. The same quality requirements and blind review procedures apply as for paper submissions.
ASAC Conference Policies
1. The submitted paper – in whole or in part - has not been published or presented elsewhere or be under consideration for presentation at another conference.
2. Once the paper has been submitted, no changes to authorship are permitted.
3. Authors may submit papers in two ways: (a) for consideration for presentation and for inclusion in the conference proceedings (default submission); and (b) for presentation only with a request that the paper not be included in the proceedings. The latter must be noted with the submission. To be considered for a Best Paper Award, papers must be submitted for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. To be considered for a Best Student Paper Award, papers must be authored solely by students, and their status must be indicated on the first page of the paper. Authors may not withdraw their papers from inclusion in the conference proceedings after May 1st.
4. At least one author will register for the conference by May 1st. In the absence of this registration, the paper will be removed from the divisional program, the proceedings (if applicable), and consideration for any divisional awards.
5. At least one author of a submitted paper will present their paper, should it be accepted. "Substitute" presenters who are not co-authors of the originally submitted papers are not permitted.
6. Authors may not submit the same paper or substantially the same paper to more than one division.
7. Individuals may be associated with a maximum of three submissions (whether they are case studies, papers, or symposium proposals). This rule is intended to: (a) reduce the frequencies of scheduling conflicts in the program; and (b) encourage participation from a broader cross section of the membership.
8. Symposium proposals can be jointly submitted to up to three divisions. However, the names of the divisions must be noted in the symposium proposal. This permits the divisional officers to co-ordinate their program development efforts if, indeed, a symposium proposal is accepted.
Call for Reviewers
As Academic Reviewer for the Strategy Division, I would be honoured if you would agree to serve as a Reviewer for our division. Reviewers will examine one to two manuscripts between February 1st and March 1st, 2011. Within this relatively short time to review submissions, Reviewers must be able to analyze the quality of the manuscripts they receive and send reviews back by March 1st 2011.
Would you please take a few minutes to complete the enclosed Invitation Form? I hope that you will be able to help the Strategy Division of ASAC in this important role. You can also send me an email indicating your willingness to serve as a Reviewer. Thank you very much in advance.
The ASAC 2011 Conference is hosted by the School of Business Administration (ESG) at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) in downtown Montreal. The conference will be held on the ESG-UQAM campus. The conference date coincides with the Montreal Jazz Festival and with the Canada Day long weekend.

Henry Chesbrough, Haas School of Management - UC Berkeley & ESADE Wim Vanhaverbeke, Hasselt University, Vlerick Management School & ESADE
From January 24 to 25, 2011 at Esade Business School in Barcelona
We welcome you to what promises to be a most intensive, exciting intellectual experience. We
have both written extensively on the topic of Open Innovation (which we will define carefully during the Course), but we believe that the best work in this area is yet to come! We have selected some readings and chapters to guide you in preparing for our two day Course. You will get much more out of the Course if you make the time to put more into it. We have also incorporated reasonably long breaks and lunches, so we hope that you'll have time to get to know us and each other. While the Open Innovation research community is growing, it remains at an early stage of development. Your passion, commitment, energy and ideas are vitally needed. Once again, welcome!
