AOM Annual Meeting – Montreal
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues
We would like to invite Strategy, Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and International Business scholars interested in Singapore to join us for this reception.
Singapore presents an interesting case for scholarly analyses. It has many institutional arrangements and regulatory frameworks common to the developed economies of the Western, but also has decidedly Oriental cultural norms. It straddles many dichotomies and seeming contradictions - a cosmopolitan city with conservative values; an Asian financial hub which maintains a vibrant and substantial manufacturing industry; and a government that deliberately sets out to grow and socially engineer entrepreneurship, innovation, and a creative industry.
This reception will provide connections and tools to further your research on case studies in Singapore. If you hope to interview business leaders in Singapore-based companies, visit infrastructural projects which are key to the development of Singapore's industries, or seek funding for research projects focusing on Singapore, this will be an opportunity to take your interest forward.
Please RSVP for the event so that we can get a headcount for the food. Do also feel free to circulate this invitation with your peers who have a similar interest in Singapore.
Best,
Jay Chok

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the following PDW at the 2010 AOM Conference:
Towards a project based view of strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship: Moving beyond project management III – Project-based Entrepreneurship (Sponsors: TIM, OMT, BPS), Saturday, August 7 2010 3:45PM - 5:45PM at Le Palais Des Congres in 510D
This PDW is designed to facilitate interaction among Academy members interested in project-based organizations. It is an excellent opportunity to focus on how projects increasingly pervade business dimensions from R&D and new product development, to the production of complex capital goods and implementation of organizational change, and occur in diverse industries like engineering, professional services and cultural industries. The PDW investigates the business of project-based organizations (PBOs), in the growing middle ground between market and firm.
Building on two past symposia/ PDWs (2008, 2009) we analyse PBOs as firms, units, or networks of firms set up to complete an assignment within a pre-set deadline. And we address the evolution from traditional operations-driven project management to the strategic role of projects in delivering innovation, organizational change and entrepreneurial opportunities – and the implications for research and teaching. The overall aim of the PDW is to identify promising research questions for the way ahead, e.g. the role of learning and capability building, entrepreneurship, or performance drivers at different levels, e.g. project venture, project team, organization, project network. Hence, two underlying questions to be discussed are: What theories are most suitable to investigate PBOs and how different theories can contribute? We believe that progress in management research often suffers from a lack of interaction between researchers from different theoretical camps that study the same phenomenon. The goal of the PDW is therefore to create a dialogue among members of the Academy over research opportunities in this area.
Organized by Lars Frederiksen (Imperial College London) and Florian Täube (European Business School) the PDW brings together distinguished scholars from Europe and the US. These include: Candace Jones (Boston College), Mark Lorenzen (Copenhagen Business School), Andreas Schwab (Iowa State), Paul Skilton (Arizona State), Jonas Söderlund (Linköping), Bradley Staats (North Carolina), Gino Cattani (NYU), Andrew Davies (Imperial College), Andrea Prencipe (U. G. d'Annunzio), Robert Huckman (Harvard) and Fredrik Tell (Linkoping).

Dr. Vinay B. Kothari, regents' professor emeritus (retired) in the College of Business at Stephen F. Austin State University, has published a book, entitled EXECUTIVE GREED (ISBN: 978-0-203-10401-3).The book is published by Palgrave MacMillan, the global academic imprint of St. Martin Press (New York) and MacMillan Publishers Ltd (United Kingdom.)
This book examines the contribution of corporate CEOs and their top lieutenants toward business success and failure. Based on his study of the three most recent economic crises –the S&L scandal, the dot-com bubble and the subprime mortgage disaster, Dr. Kothari pinpoints the reason for poor leadership performance: executive greed in pursuit of self enrichment. In order to maximize their own compensations quickly, corporate executives undertake reckless behavior, make risky decisions and, if necessary, act unlawfully.
According to Dr. Kothari, there is a strong management tendency to focus on immediate sales increases and cost cutting while ignoring the development of long term corporate core competencies and competitive market strengths.
Because rapid increases in corporate current profits, cash-flows and stock prices significantly influence executive salaries, bonuses and severance packages, the decision makers focus on short term results, and they deemphasize investments in R&D, plant and equipment maintenance and modernization, human resource training and development, service and product quality improvements, and other essential activities, which are important for the firm's long-term security and growth. Furthermore, cost cutting measures become the driving force, resulting in deteriorating work conditions and disastrous relationships with labor, customers, suppliers and distributors. Lobbying, bribery and deception take precedence over ethics and effective competitive practices.
In the book, Dr. Kothari underscores the destructive collaboration within the organization, across the industry, and between government and business. Selfish personal interests lead corporate directors, management consultants, public accountants, rating agencies, legislators and regulators to ignore their fiscal obligations and duties. They fail to provide adequate supervision and control, and knowingly or unknowingly, they contribute to business disasters.
The book highlights the reality that a business firm can fail because of its CEO but it cannot succeed without the productive and cooperative efforts across the firm and throughout its supply and distribution networks.
There are worldwide examples of executive greed and reckless conduct – not unlike the recent BP oil spill disaster, a result of cost cutting measures that show very little concern for social consequences.
When business failures occur, who pays the price? Employees, suppliers, distributors, customers and the community at large, of course! Not the decision-makers. Executives are rewarded for their management failure with huge severance packages, which financially secure them and their families for the years to come. .
The book offers many useful suggestions on management issues, including compensation.
Dr. Juan C. Barrerra at the Center for Business and Economics, Elmhurst College in Illinois describes the author's work as "... an academic masterpiece of our time- very insightful and thought provoking.... Executive Greed will definitely engage the reader to reflection on misguided management practices & the uncertain future that lies ahead."
Dr. Subhash C. Jain, Professor and Director of Center for International Business Education and Research, Universityof Connecticut, finds the book "... highly relevant, scholarly and well-written."
"An indispensable companion for any aspiring leader in today's globalized economy," according to Nicholas Grigoriou, Principal, Monash College Guangzhou Program, People's Republic of China.
Professor John Hamilton, Director of E-Business, James Cook University, Australia writes: "Executive Greed is an excellent and thought provoking read. It is a reality check, and a must read for CEO's, corporate leaders, managers and business school academics. It analyses.... The book's innovative and competitive customer-focused solutions are highly suitable for... the ongoing growth in shareholder value."
There are a number of other comments from many scholars from across the world describing the timeliness and scholarly analysis presented in the book by Dr. Kothari.

Emerald is pleased to announce the publication of 'Technology and Organization: Essays in Honour of Joan Woodward', volume 29 of the series Research in the Sociology of Organizations. For full information please see below
Editors: Nelson Phillips, Graham Sewell, Dorothy Griffiths
ISBN 9781849507462
Format Hardback, 152mm x 229mm, 320pp
Publication Date 7th June 2010
Professor Joan Woodward, one of the founding figures of organization studies, died in 1971 at the age of 54 after a relatively brief but highly distinguished career as a management researcher and teacher, and just six years after the publication of her landmark book Industrial Organization. At the time of her death, Professor Woodward was the Chair in Industrial Sociology at Imperial College London, having been elected as only the second female professor at the College in 1970. She joined the Production Engineering and Management Section of Imperial in 1958 and the majority of her most important work was published during this period. Prior to this she spent a number of years at the South East Essex College of Technology where she conducted much of the empirical work that informed her significant contributions to the field.
Professor Woodward was instrumental in bringing technology to the fore in organizational sociology and her ten-year research program was one of the most influential projects ever carried out in the field of organization and management studies. Charles Perrow argues that Joan Woodward's work is "the most ambitious and stimulating comparative study using technology as an independent variable." The significant number of citations her work continues to receive across many disciplines is testament to its originality and importance.
This special volume of Research in the Sociology of Organizations critically re-engages with Joan Woodward's contributions to organizational scholarship, while carrying forward the spirit of her thinking on the complex interactions between the social and technical realms. It also takes stock of recent developments in the themes, issues, and theories that she introduced.

The School of Strategy and Entrepreneurship (formerly the General Management Group at the Australian Graduate School of Management) seeks to fill at least one senior faculty position in Strategic Management or Entrepreneurship. Candidates with an international orientation to their writing are also encouraged to apply. Although we prefer to fill the position at the Full Professor level we will also consider strong candidates at the Associate Professor level. Potential senior colleagues should possess a proven capacity to teach in world class MBA and educative education programs. Administrative experience is also desirable. We would be happy to make five-year appointments for faculty who may have already retired and would like to pursue in new challenge in Australia. Half-time appointments for candidates who want to spend part of the year in Sydney are also possible.
The Australian School of Business at UNSW was recently formed as a union of the AGSM and Faculty of Commerce and Economics at the University of New South Wales. The school, located in Sydney with an MBA program in Hong Kong, is the premier business school in Australia, and a leader in management research and graduate education throughout Asia and Oceania. We offer a range of graduate programs, including full-time and executive MBA's, a Master of Commerce, a doctoral program, and we are very active in executive education. Forbes Magazine recently rated us as the fifth best non-US business school in the world. Our full time MBA program is ranked within the world's top 40 business schools by the Financial Times. Similarly, our custom executive programs have been ranked No 1. in Australia by the Financial Times.
The School of Strategy and Entrepreneurship's faculty is internationally recognized for its research excellence. Over the last few years, we have published consistently in such leading journals as Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, Research Policy, Industrial and Corporate Change, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Harvard Business Review, and California Management Review. Faculty have also published prize winning books. Current members of the strategy group include: Martin Bliemel (PhD Simon Fraser University), Graham Dowling (Emeritus - PhD UNSW), Geoff Eagleson (Emeritus - PhD Sydney), Shayne Gary (PhD London), Anna Gunnthorsdottir (PhD Arizona), Elizabeth Maitland (PhD Melbourne), J Peter Murmann (PhD Columbia) (Head of School), Peter Moran (PhD Insead), Salih Ozdemir (PhD Chicago), George Shinkle (PhD Purdue University), Yue Wang (PhD Melbourne), and Phil Yetton (PhD Carnegie Mellon).
We have no dominant philosophical orientation and would consider candidates for the professor position(s) with strong training in strategy, entrepreneurship, economics, psychology, sociology, innovation studies and other related disciplines.
The remuneration package is globally competitive. Sydney is recognized as one of the most livable, beautiful, and vibrant cities on the planet. (For photos of the city and the region, go to http://professor-murmann.net/pictures/australia/ ). Sydney plays a major part in Australia's economy, accounting for over 25% of Australia's total economic activity. The city is Australia's undisputed financial centre, with 65% of Australia's finance industry located here, including the Reserve Bank, the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange. Of the nation's top 100 companies, 60% have headquarters in Sydney. Financial and business services accounts for 47.1% of the city's workforce. Multinationals with Asian-Pacific headquarters in Sydney include 3M, American Express, AMP, Boral Ltd, BT, Coca-Cola Amatil, Compuserve, HJ Heinz, IBM, Microsoft, Mastercard, Price Waterhouse Coopers, TNT Ltd and Unilever. Sydney was also recently named by the LA Times as the world's most innovative city with respect to culinary arts and those with a penchant for wine, opera, sailing and any of a host of other activities need look no further than their front door.
The position is open immediately and will remain open until filled. For more information, please visit our web site at http://www2.strategy.unsw.edu.au/
