Call for Papers: The deadline for the submission of short papers is January 16, 2011; Full papers 30 October 2011 special edition on urgent challenges of the digital revolution for industrial and organizational restructuring in the creative industries
Guest Editors:

Elke Schüßler, Free University of Berlin, Germany, elke.schuessler@fu-berlin.de
Our Special Issue addresses the urgent challenges of the digital revolution for industrial
and organizational restructuring in the creative industries. We include those in the
popular classifications such as DCMS1 (1998), namely advertising, architecture, art and
antiques, computer games, crafts, design, designer fashion, film and video, music,
performing arts, publishing, software, TV and radio2 (Cunningham, 2002). But we do not exclude other sectors that may derive value from creativity such as food and drink or certain leisure and tourism sectors.
Digital technologies fundamentally shake existing business models of creation, transaction, and distribution in these industries (disassembly), yet they also offer reassembly through new tools for creativity, new architectures for mass collaboration and user involvement, and the accelerated generation of new market categories. By analyzing the varying roles of digital technology in the creative industries, we hope to better understanding complex innovation and transformation processes on a number of levels – from organizational practices to industry structures – and in a number of spheres – economic, legal, and social – , spanning both national and transnational institutional arrangements.
We call for theoretical and empirical papers that may be qualitative or quantitative in
method. Themes are suggested but not limited to the following areas:
- How do old business models collapse in organizational terms? What can we learn
from detailed case studies? How are new business models discovered, devised and
implemented? What is the role of private and public actors in pursuing systemic
business model innovation strategies? How is the success of these strategies
assessed?
- How do existing firms rejuvenate through digital technologies and creative
industries?
- Which are the actor groups that benefit from digitalization and which lose? What
are the effects on the creation and distribution of value?
- What is the role of collective action processes as seen in social movements in
overcoming rigidities?
- To what extent are digital and material organization forms substitutes or
complementary? To what extent are boundaries permeable between the different
business models?
- How do organizational boundaries and managerial practices change with the
digitalization of products and processes?
- What is the relationship between digital processes and the openness of innovation?
Is creation democratized through digital technologies?
- Which are the impacts of digitalization on the world of creation? How does
creation evolve? Which would be the new forms of exhibitions, appropriation, and
collection of arts in a digital world?
- To what extent does digitalization transform the geography of creation?
Globalization? Co-creation by distant artists?
- How does digitalization compare to other forms of technological innovation in
creative industries?
If you are interested in contributing to this Special Issue, please note that the deadline
for submission of full papers is October 30, 2011. All submitted papers will go through
the normal review process and only those that meet the requirements of TFSC will be
accepted for publication. Manuscripts should be submitted online via Elsevier's online
submission system (see: http://www.ees.elsevier.com/tfs) indicating in the letter that

Rationales
Nanotechnology is a growing multidisciplinary field of interest for social scientists. Recognizing the tremendous scientific and economic potential of nanoscale science and technology, public authorities and firms are investing in the development of nanotechnologies. At the same time, nanotechnologies raise many societal, managerial and economic questions including how nanotechnology differs from prior technologies, the role of public policies in driving the development of nanotechnologies, the emergence of clusters and networking in nanotechnologies, and the wider implications of nanotechnology for social and economic development.
The aim of the winter school is to explore issues related to nanotechnologies so as to better understand possible trajectories of development of nanotechnologies in different areas: To what extent do nanotechnologies exemplify a new regime of development? To what extent social scientists may focus on nanotechnologies to renew scientific approaches in sociology, economics and management of innovation? To what extent can we transfer strategies and recommendations from biotechnology and information technologies to nanotechnologies?
The progress of research in innovation and emerging technologies relies upon the commitment and creativity of advanced PhD students, post doctoral fellows and junior scholars who explore new questions and advance both theoretical and empirical work. They play an essential role in the development our field.
The partners of the different projects put particular emphasis on supporting the academic development of younger scholars and their integration in the academic community(ies). The purpose of this workshop is to stimulate interactions amongst social scientists who are exploring nanotech related issues. It aims at reinforcing the dialogue within the community of scholars studying nanotechnologies from different perspectives.
In particular, the workshop seeks to:
Facilitate the academic socialisation of junior scholars by offering sessions and in-depth discussion about forefront research studying the evolution of nanotechnologies.
ffer support in improving junior scholars' publication capabilities as a means to strengthen their publication record and contribute to the advancement of the scientific community. The workshop is a forum of exchange and dialogue between senior and junior scholars on scholarly writing and reviewing.
for explorations of issues on the cutting edge of research in areas, such as interdisciplinary studies, and methodological issues.
Content
The Workshop is a five-day event (beginning on Monday and finishing on Friday afternoon) in a mountain location usually sunny at that period (Autrans http://www.autrans.com/en/summer/index.html). The programme is organised around five sets of new questions:
1. Management of nanotechnologies, Business models, managing converging technologies, etc.
2. New ethical questions around nanotechnologies and risk governance, from risk safety to public debates
3. Scientific and technological dynamics in nanotechnologies, institutional arrangement, individual logics, role of regulation, role of platforms, clusterisation and networks, etc.
4. Geography of nanotechnologies, governance of clusters and networks, institutional transformations
5. Economics of nanotechnologies: Lessons from previous high tech in the hype, respective roles of incumbents and start-ups, etc.
Expected participants
- 25 junior scholars in social sciences who are studying nanotechnologies: PhDs, post docs and junior faculties in social sciences (economics, sociology, political science and management).
- 10-12 senior scholars and facilitators who are enthusiastic to engage a dialogue with junior faculties.

The International IPSERA workshop on Customer attractiveness, supplier satisfaction and customer value
"Workshop on customer attractiveness, supplier satisfaction and customer value, 25th/26th of November
Since years it has been commented upon the little progress science and practice have made in the last years trying to improve the success of new product development projects. In the context of open innovation an increasing challenge is the successful early supplier integration in new product development processes and innovation. Recently, the idea has been put forward that an important antecedent to supplier contribution to innovation would be customer attractiveness. If the supplier does not consider the buyer as one of his preferred customers he may be reluctant in dedicating the best resources to any kind of collaborative venture, thus constraining such efforts.
Could achieving preferred customer status be a pre-condition for early supplier integration in new product development? And if so, how can a firm become an attractive customer and ensure supplier satisfaction?
The interactive workshop on 25th/26th of November, 2010, at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands, will bring together scholars researching in this emerging field in order to discuss ideas, papers and research plans. The workshop also provides an opportunity for participants to learn about and prepare their contributions for a special issue on the topic some of the organizers are guest editing. More information can be found at www.utwente.nl/mb/attractiveness .
Format
The workshop includes a mixture of academic paper presentations and a practitioner keynote, providing an opportunity to progress the participants' papers as well as to discuss research plans.
Call for papers
Academics and PhD researchers should submit and present a paper of 5-15 pages, which can be conceptual or empirical. Research plans can also be discussed. A one page abstract should be submitted till October, 1st, the final paper till November,1st. All papers will be reviewed by the scientific committee. Abstracts / papers are to be
submitted through the site www.utwente.nl/mb/attractiveness.
Themes
• Understanding and increasing customer attractiveness, e.g. factors influencing perceived customer
attractiveness and theories helping to explain the phenomenon. How to become a preferred customer?
• Profiting from being a preferred customer, e.g. testing the influence of customer attractiveness on logistics, quality and innovation performance. Could achieving preferred customer status be a pre-condition for early supplier integration in new product development?
• Understanding supplier satisfaction and its antecedents and consequences, including relationship discontinuation. Some of the workshop organisers are guest editing a special issue on the topic with
Industrial Marketing Management to be published in 2011/2012. The workshop provides an opportunity for participants to learn about and prepare their contributions for the special issue.
Workshop fees
75 € for IPSERA members, 100 € for nonmembers,
50 € for PhD researchers

Professor of Technology Management, University of Twente"
A particular problem rising to prominence in the context of open innovation processes is the issue of unsatisfactory supplier contribution to innovation. Recently, researchers have forwarded the idea that failing supplier contribution could occur because of a lack of customer attractiveness. If the buying company is not one of the preferred customers of the vendor, the latter may feel inclined not to dedicate its best resources to this partner, e.g. not sending the single available resident engineer, dedicate testing time, award research priority etc.

CONTENT
As an original strategic management perspective, coopetition has hitherto been
underexploited in analysing contemporary firm strategies and behaviours and, more generally, managerial practices and processes. This innovative book provides both theoretical insights and empirical evidence on coopetition.
Coopetition shows great interpretive and normative potential and is likely to be an increasingly important tool. This book is one of the first key contributions in shaping and systematizing a novel coopetition agenda in the field of strategy. The book argues that coopetition is neither an extension of competition theory, nor an extension of cooperative theory. It is in fact a specific and distinctive research object, which calls for dedicated theoretical investigation to develop questions for theory, method, and managerial practice.
This book provides both practitioners and academic scholars with a milestone that brings together an active community of researchers expressly mobilized around the creative in-depth scrutiny of coopetition. It will greatly appeal to researchers, scholars, and graduate students of management, business strategy competitive dynamics, and international business, as well as practitioners such as managers and consultants.
This book provides a diverse set of perspectives on the topic. It is very useful reading for anyone interested in understanding coopetition in multiple contexts.? ? Devi R. Gnyawali, Virginia Tech, US

NEW PH.D. PROGRAM IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business
Rice University
The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University is proud to announce the launch of its Ph.D. program in Strategic Management, with admittance to the program starting in the Fall of 2011. We are actively recruiting highly qualified applicants. The Ph.D. program in strategic management complements previously launched programs in Marketing and Finance. A Ph.D. program in Accounting is also being launched in the fall of 2011.
What is our goal?
The main goal of our doctoral program is to train students to do high-quality research in the field and to prepare them for careers as professors of strategic management at top academic research institutions. The academic job market for Ph.D.s in strategic management has been strong, the pay is good and the work is rewarding.
Who are the faculty?
- A strong faculty group with a great record of publishing in premier strategic management journals
The Strategy and Environment (SE) Group in the Jones School consists of a very strong group of active researchers in the field of strategic management. The SE faculty currently include four Full Professors (Bill Glick, Bob Hoskisson, Gerry Sanders, Duane Windsor), five Associate Professors (Prashant Kale, Balaji Koka, Haiyang Li, Doug Schuler, Anthea Yan Zhang), and one Assistant Professor (Margaret Cording). This group has a strong record of publishing in premier strategic management journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, and Journal of International Business Studies. See http://business.rice.edu/Strategy_Environment.aspx for more information (click on the Faculty or Management Brochure tabs to get more information on the faculty).
- Faculty have extensive experience in working with doctoral students
Virtually all of the SE faculty have served and worked with doctoral students in a range of capacities. For instance, faculty members have guided doctoral programs at Texas A&M University, University of Oklahoma, and Arizona State University as well as served as external committee members for PhD students at such institutions as Rice University, the University of Texas, University of Colorado, University of Missouri, Ivey Business School, among others. The faculty group also has rather extensive experience coauthoring papers with doctoral students at a number of institutions.
How unique is this program?
- Our Ph.D. program is strongly research oriented. Students are provided opportunities to be fully engaged in research projects from the beginning of their program. The structure of our program is focused not only on formal seminars but also the craft of scholarship through apprentice style–working relationships, including required first and second year papers.
- While the SE group has the breadth to train Ph.D. students in all areas of strategic management, we especially focus on corporate strategy and governance, executive leadership, alliance and merger strategies, entrepreneurship, emerging markets, and corporate social responsibility.
How to Apply? Any Financial Support?
- We will begin accepting applications for Fall 2011 admissions; the online application will become available in September 2010. The application deadline is January 14th 2011 for admission to the program in the Fall of 2011. For detailed information about application, please visit the following website: http://business.rice.edu/PhD.aspx.
- All applicants to the strategy area will need to submit their score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) exam.
- If admitted to the program, you will be fully funded while in the program! Your tuition will be waived, and you'll receive a generous stipend, for at least four years.
- Feel free to contact the strategy Ph.D. coordinator, Professor Robert E. Hoskisson at robert.hoskisson@rice.edu for any remaining questions.

The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises at Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management is home to one of the world's leading research centers, focused on advancing scholarship in the field of entrepreneurship. We are now looking to further strengthen our research and invite applications from Ph.D. candidates, for FALL 2011 admission.
The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises is one of only a handful of academic departments exclusively devoted to entrepreneurship, and also one of the few departments in the U.S. to offer a doctoral degree in entrepreneurship. Accepted applicants to the program will have the opportunity to study under the supervision of a cohort of accomplished entrepreneurship faculty – a group of scholars that includes Tom Lumpkin, Johan Wiklund, Minet Schindehutte, Mike Haynie, Alex McKelvie, and George Burman. Based on an annual survey of research productivity in the field of entrepreneurship published by TCU, this team was responsible for Syracuse University being ranked #2 in the world for published research in entrepreneurship (2009).
The aim of our doctoral program is to provide candidates with a deep knowledge of the field of entrepreneurship, and the technical skills necessary to design and execute rigorous studies of the quality to be published in the leading entrepreneurship journals. We expect accepted candidates to complete their study within four years of admission to the program, and pursue careers at Ph.D. granting academic institutions. During your time as a doctoral candidate at EEE you can expect:
- Waiver of all tuition fees during the four years of the program
- A competitive annual stipend to cover your living expenses
- A research education tailored for a future entrepreneurship scholar
- The opportunity to do research together with the internationally renowned scholars of the department
- Competent and dedicated guidance from those scholars
- Experience as a university teacher in our nationally ranked entrepreneurship undergraduate program
A doctoral degree in entrepreneurship from Syracuse University offers you a whole host of opportunities for the future, either in academic positions around the world, or in other positions where your research skill is demanded. The job market for entrepreneurship scholars is strong and in recent years more positions have been available than candidates pursuing jobs. Thus, it is not surprising that the position of a university professor is frequently ranked as one of the most desirable jobs in the world.
Application deadline is February 15th for admission in the following Fall semester (August 15th). All relevant information, including the application package is online at http://whitman.syr.edu/PhD/. Please contact Dr. Johan Wiklund, director of the doctoral program in entrepreneurship, at jwiklund@syr.edu for any further information.
