Dear Colleagues,
Motivated by Chesbrough's call for a more open approach to innovation, scholars increasingly have investigated how organizations look outside their boundaries in order either to gain insight for their innovations. However, thus far solutions have been contained to the "usual suspects" for
collaboration – through joint ventures, alliances, and licensing arrangements. Primarily, these avenues of collaboration have ignored the core of what it means to be "open": not knowing who will provide the input for the next radical innovation.
The advent of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) has led to a break with the 'same-place, same-time' restrictions on groups; whereas organizations traditionally have relied heavily on small, co-located teams in order to generate innovations, currently, we see large groups of individuals beginning to collaborate on the Internet with the explicit goal of leveraging their potential for innovation-related tasks. These groups either join or develop a community and exploit their crowd wisdom in order to solve R&D challenges – a phenomenon known as "crowdsourcing". In some crowdsourcing communities, individuals' contributions are neither marginal nor restricted to the project, but actually have inherent value. Therefore, a primary research interest is how organizations can strengthen their innovative capabilities through realizing the full potential of large online communities.
We believe that this research area should benefit from the phenomenon it studies. To this end, we would like to apply crowd wisdom to this area of research!* We invite scholars and practitioner colleagues to participate in our symposium "Crowdsourcing Innovation" at the AOM 2009 Annual Meeting in Chicago*. We welcome papers on related topics, which may or may not address the following research questions:
(a) How motivations to contribute to an innovative task are influenced by
(i) the design choices of an online community, such as level of interaction between individuals and sense of community created,
(ii) reputation and
reward systems, and
(iii) the assignment of property rights.
(b) Which group processes are active in large groups above and beyond those that are active in small groups? Which characteristics influence the performance of large online groups above and beyond those that are of influence in small groups?
(c) What motivates individuals to sacrifice their potential intellectual property and reputation amplification for the chance of financial rewards? Furthermore, what mechanisms of accountability operate to ensure solution quality and also fair use?
(d) What are the processes within innovation communities that drive their performance and success?
(e) What are individuals' motivations for joining, for contributing to, and for remaining active in these communities?
(f) What can these communities do? What *can't* they do (i.e., what are the limits to their potential?)?
(g) What is the role of community among these solution groups?
(h) Should open innovation be open to all potential contributors? Or, should organizations gate-keep innovation groups' membership?
(i) How does the contextual situation and the project characteristics (e.g. collaborative, competitive, or co-opetitive task design) influence the performance of online innovative groups? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each task design for solution quality?
(j) Collectives v. Groups v. Teams v. Communities: which is the best level of formality? Or, which degree of structure is most applicable to which context?
(k) What is the potential for crowdsourcing as a business model? That is, can this approach to innovation be employed otherwise to the organization's advantage?
We hope that you will join us for this event, and we look forward to connecting with you this summer in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:city>!

Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Business & Society on
"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability"
Marc Orlitzky, Penn State University
Donald Siegel, University at Albany, State University of New York
David Waldman, Arizona State University
Multinational firms are under pressure from multiple stakeholders to be socially and environmentally responsible. According to the Stern report issued by the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.K.</st1:place></st1:country-region> government, The Economist, and the philosopher Joseph DesJardins, ecological sustainability could become the central social responsibility challenge for business. Thus, managers must be able to determine how their organizations can become more ecologically sustainable, socially responsible, and economically competitive.
This trend also raises profound research questions, crossing numerous fields in business administration and several social science disciplines. From a theoretical standpoint, it is interesting to note that researchers have attempted to model the antecedents and consequences of "responsible" behavior at the individual, organizational, industry, national, and societal
levels. However, the theoretical literatures on this phenomenon are parallel and independent, which hinders our ability to understand the managerial and policy implications of corporate social responsibility and sustainability.
Two key research questions are: (1) how can social and environmental responsibility be implemented more effectively through integrated market and non-market strategies? and (2) how can the various business sub-disciplines (e.g., human resource management, management information systems, organizational behavior, marketing, and accounting) contribute to our
understanding of the determinants of superior financial, social, and environmental performance?
Our objective in this special issue is to synthesize these parallel literatures and topical areas, in an effort to examine prudent, integrated management of financial, social, and environmental pressures. Unfortunately, key issues regarding frameworks, measurement, and empirical
methods of social responsibility and sustainability have not yet been resolved because existing research has been too fragmented or focused at one particular level of analysis. For example, much research has been pursued at the firm level dealing with such issues as the relationship between corporate social performance and firm financial performance. However, less
research has involved theories and variables at the individual level (e.g., factors pertaining to individual decision-makers), or how such variables might relate to organizational-level phenomena (e.g., corporate social performance or sustainability).
This special issue will promote the concept of theoretical meta-triangulation, as expressed in previous articles on theory building in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management Review</st1:placename></st1:place>. Contributions from strategic management, organizational behavior, human resource management, organizational theory, economics, political science, sociology, moral philosophy, and other
disciplines are encouraged.
Some research questions that might be addressed in this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following: . What does it mean for an organization to be socially responsible and
environmentally sustainable in the international arena? What is the social responsibility of global business? How can large, multinational companies become more sustainable? How do definitions of corporate responsibility and sustainability differ across countries?
. What adjustments in corporate structure, governance, reporting relationships, or incentives might facilitate the integration of financial, social, and environmental domains of business activities?
. Why might socially and environmentally responsible companies perform better or worse financially than organizations that show little concern for their social and ecological environments? What are the moderating and mediating factors that affect these relationships?
. Can socially responsible organizations actually change societies? How might organizational commitments to ecological sustainability change societies or individual attitudes?
. How can theories of social identity, (ethical) decision making, and pro-social/positive organizational behavior contribute to more comprehensive causal models in this area?
. How are corporate social responsibility and sustainability related to leadership qualities and other characteristics of top executives, or systems pertaining to them (such as executive pay structures)?
. What is the best way to measure and evaluate social and environmental performance?
. What are the relationships between corporate social responsibility, environmental sustainability, firm reputation, and organizational culture/identity?
. How can theories of sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and integrative social contracts inform each other for mutual theoretical benefit-in domestic and international arenas?
. What are the human resource management implications of corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability?
. Is consumer demand for corporate social responsibility driven by the same factors as consumer demand for corporate environmental sustainability? What does this demand imply for organizations' strategic positioning?
Submission Instructions
Submisssions to the Special Issue should be sent electronically to Professor
Marc Orlitzky at moo3@psu.edu, Professor Donald Siegel at
DSiegel@uamail.albany.edu, and Professor David Waldman at waldman@asu.edu
before June 1st, 2009. The format of the papers must follow Business and Society guidelines.
We also propose to hold a Special Issue Workshop, where each paper that is presented will be reviewed and discussed by one of the special issue editors. While all submitted papers will go through the regular double-blind journal review process, we believe that a face-to-face encounter at such a workshop will result in better papers. Participation in the workshop will not be a necessary condition for acceptance into the Special Issue, but we will strongly encourage all potential authors to attend the workshop. In this regard, we have secured funding for the
workshop, enough to cover housing and meals for invited authors (one per paper). The final set of papers would then be selected from those resubmitted after the workshop.
Deadlines/Timetable
The tentative timetable for the special issue is:
June 1, 2009 Paper submitted electronically to co-editors
July 30th, 2009 Authors notified if their paper is chosen for special issue workshop
Late September 2009 Special Issue Workshop (with assigned discussants) to be held at the University at Albany, SUNY
January 1, 2010 Revised papers due (incorporating discussant and external reviewer comments)
April 2010 Authors notified if paper selected for special issue
May 2010 Delivery of full set of papers and guest editors' introductory paper

Submission due date: January 15, 2009
Motivation
Industries can no longer be taken for granted. As sectors disintegrate and re-integrate, converge and transform, the question of how exactly economic activities are structured, and what determines the nature of firms' and sectors' boundaries evolution becomes more relevant than ever. Firms are increasingly trying to shape the nature of their environment and the ways in which labour is divided in the sector; they try to shape the "rules and roles" through which labour (and knowledge) is divided – i.e. their 'industry architectures'. Some argue that the ability – and need – to manipulate industry architectures derives from the emergence of new bodies of scientific and technological knowledge which affect the competitive dynamics of the entire economy. New sectors have emerged on the basis of new disciplines (e.g. biotechnologies) as well as on the basis of the integration of old ones (e.g. mechatronics). Traditional sectors are affected by new disciplines in ways which challenge incumbents' positions and favor the entry of new actors (e.g. telecommunications). Others stress the 'political' role played by established organizations. For example, incumbents may influence which technological paths are pursued: leveraging on their role as industrial leaders, through strategic moves such as mergers and acquisitions, focused investments, lobbying for the adoption of specific standards, etc. Thus, as firms try to re-organize their industry environment, one major issue emerges: firms must create and simultaneously integrate knowledge to create advantage as well as coordinate sets of complex interdependencies that cut across firms' boundaries.
Research questions
In terms of our existing theoretical apparatus, research has offered key building blocks that provide answers to partial questions to understand the evolution of industry architectures. Researchers from the New Institutional/Transaction Cost economics, for instance, have explained how firms may choose their boundaries. Scholars of technological change have considered how organizations and technologies co-evolve over time. Yet, only recently have we started understanding what shapes the nature of the sectors that we study, and in what are the forces that explain why and how sectors swing between integration and disintegration. Likewise, the link between the boundaries of organizations and the knowledge bases in the sector has been shown to be important in the strategy literature, and it is clear that the boundaries of knowledge and the boundaries of organization are not fully mapped onto each other. However, our understanding of how knowledge becomes integrated in a complex web of relationships in a sector is still in its early stages: we have yet to propose the micro-mechanisms that explain how the structures that integrate knowledge emerge, and how they affect the industries' prospects, or how they change over time. This special issue intends to extend and consolidate this growing area of interest. We are interested in contributions which look at the micro-level processes of knowledge integration and coordination, through changes in the division of labor and power. Questions of interest include, but are not limited to:
Are sectors characterized by one or multiple 'industry architectures', i.e. ways to divide labour between firms and coordinate the knowledge production? How do such architectures emerge, stabilize, and change?
How do sectors get reorganized in order accommodate the diffusion of new bodies of scientific and technological knowledge?
How do the dynamics of knowledge integration relate to the challenges of sectoral change? Other than science and technologies, what role is played by the distribution of power, intra- and inter-organizational conflict in shaping the evolution of sectors?
How do firms get organized to integrate knowledge? How do they identify what to integrate? What are the different options available to them?
What does knowledge integration actually mean? Is there any empirically observable or theoretically relevant distinction between the concepts of knowledge integration and recombination?
Whether at the level of the sector or the firm (or both), who determines and drives the processes through which knowledge becomes integrated? How, when and why do these change?
We want to encourage the submission of empirical papers, whether qualitative or quantitative, exploratory or confirmatory. However, conceptual, theoretical, or modeling papers (with reference to the specific phenomena identified above) will also be considered.
Deadlines and Submission Instructions
The deadline for submission of papers is January 15, 2009. Please submit your papers online on the European Management Review website and ensure that you follow the Submission Guidelines available at http://emr.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex
Review Process and Special Issue Conference
Papers will be reviewed following the regular European Management Review double-blind review process. It takes an average of four weeks to obtain the first round of reviews.

Objective of the Book
The handbook will assist organizational researchers and practitioners in understanding and using online data collection appropriately by providing the necessary methodological knowledge related to online research and by presenting information about the empirical quality and the availability and location of specific online instruments with proven validity and reliability. The collection of instruments provided in the handbook will help researchers assess, locate, and use electronic measurements in organizational management and leadership, including human research development.
Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of academics, researchers, consultants, and managers interested in advancing the theoretical understanding and the practical application of using electronic instruments addressing organizational attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
The first section of the book will be dedicated to methodological issues related to online data collection (validity, reliability, sampling, and ethics).
The second section of the book consist of a series of 20-25 chapters which will address specific online organizational instruments, one instrument per chapter, with each chapter presenting (a) the theoretical background supporting the instrument, (b) its validity, (c) its reliability, (d) a brief summary of existing results, and (e) the web location of each instrument and a contact. As a definition, electronic measurement is considered a system that allows collection of data from subjects by a computer or other type of electronic devices. Online measurements are electronic measurements in which data are collected via the internet.
The third section of the book will consist of a chapter which will address final considerations about online measurements in organizational research.

Collaborative Search and Communities of Interest:
Trends in Knowledge Sharing and Assessment
A book edited by Prof. Pascal Francq
Université Libre de Bruxelles, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Belgium</st1:place></st1:country-region>
Introduction
With the generalization of document-oriented systems and the success of the World Wide Web, the amount of information available through electronic documents has exploded. Making people collaborate inside communities of practice is one solution to tackle this problem. These communities regroup people having the same interests and/or facing the same kind of problems. Once grouped together, users can share relevant documents and pertinent advices. In so doing, we consider that they exchange knowledge about their practices. The increasing number of social software helping online surfers to share interesting digital resources (so-called "Web 2.0" applications) shows that this idea is applied on the Internet. However, forming these communities of interests is not an intuitive task, since most of the time these communities regroup people across boundaries (geographical, hierarchical, cultural, etc). In this book, we intend to offer a multi-disciplinary view of this topic.
Objective of the Book
This book will aim to provide a broad overview of the way with which people collaborate to manage large amounts of information. Besides relevant theoretical frameworks to understand how communities of interests work and share knowledge, the book will also provide algorithms, models and tools useful to solve the related problems (profiling these interests, grouping users into communities of interests, information and document filtering, etc.).
Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information and knowledge management in various disciplines, e.g. computer science, information technology, information and communication sciences, and sociology. Moreover, the book will provide insights for (virtual) organizations searching for solutions to enhance their knowledge sharing.
Recommended topics include (but not limited to):
Understanding communities of interests:
· Conceptual frameworks.
· Social capital in communities of interests.
· Social networking.
· The birth, the life, and the death of communities
Knowledge inside communities:
· Collective intelligence.
· Knowledge sharing.
· Knowledge organization.
Communities-oriented models and algorithms:
· Design of users' interests models.
· Automatic communities' detection.
· Reputation and quality evaluation.
Interest-based information filtering:
· Collaborative filtering, social search and collaborative search.
· Exploiting user-generated metadata.
Tools and platforms for communities-oriented environments:
· Research and development tools.
· On-line collaborations platforms.
· Collaborative decisions-taking processes.
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February 15, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) will hold its fourth biennial conference in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Shanghai</st1:place></st1:city> on June 16-20, 2010. The conference theme is "Innovation and Change in Chinese Organizations."
Ever since the launch of the economic reform in the late 1970s, change has been a normal state of affairs in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region> and in Chinese organizations. The changes that have been occurring in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region> dazzled the world with astonishing speed and scale, which continue to this very day. As <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region> moves beyond its initial economic success, Chinese organizations are no longer satisfied with
being the cheap imitator of reputable brands and innovative products. Recently, both the government and the Chinese business community explicitly set forth innovation as one of the most important national and organizational strategies that will transform Chinese organizations into competitive and responsible participants in the global marketplace. This signals a shift of developmental focus for both the government and the organizations to prioritize innovation as the true driver for sustainable growth and change.
As the world's largest academic community for Chinese management research, we welcome such a shift in direction and believe that this opens a new chapter for Chinese and non-Chinese organizations that operate in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region> and/or interact with Chinese organizations. In order to further our understanding of innovation as the key to the next stage of success for Chinese organizations and those working with them and, subsequently, to build a knowledge base for such strategic shifts, we chose "Innovation and Change in Chinese Organizations" as the theme for the upcoming 2010 IACMR biennial conference.
We welcome a variety of important and interesting research questions on the theme of innovation and change, including:
* What transformational and evolutionary changes have occurred or are occurring in China and Chinese organizations and what are their positive and/or negative effects on the economic, social, and psychological lives of organizational members?
* Innovation in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">China</st1:country-region></st1:place> can be top down (e.g., the mandate from the Chinese government) or bottom up (e.g., family entrepreneurship) or a confluence of both. Which direction seems to be more prevalent and efficacious, and how is innovation initiated, carried out, and sustained in Chinese organizations?
* In the midst of change and innovation, how do Chinese organizations, groups, and individuals deal with tensions between change and stability, and between innovation and continuity? What role do integrity, fairness and moral leadership play?
* How to combine qualitative and quantitative research designs on topics that have not been thoroughly investigated in Chinese management? How to integrate Western and Chinese perspectives?
Submissions could also include other topics related to organization and management in the Chinese context (including mainland <st1:country-region w:st="on">China</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Taiwan</st1:country-region>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Hong Kong</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Singapore</st1:country-region></st1:place>, etc.) or Chinese organizations operating globally. We welcome papers and symposia in the disciplinary areas of Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, Strategy, Organization Theory, as well
as International and Cross-Cultural Management.
Submissions will be electronic to the submission website at www.iacmr.org, which will open on August 15, 2009. All papers must be received by October 18, 2009, and all Professional Development Workshop and Caucus proposals by November 15, 2009. Notification of acceptances or rejections will be made by February 15, 2010. For any questions about submissions to the conference, please contact the Program Chair Chao C. Chen at
cchen.iacmr@business.rutgers.edu.

Biographical notes: Francois Therin is an Associate Professor at Euromed Marseille Ecole de Management. His research and teaching are focused on Technology and Innovation Management in High-tech and High-growth ventures. He is the founding editor of the International Journal of
Technoentrepreneurship.
This introduction is written when a lot of us are back from the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> annual conference. As with the previous years, a professional development workshop was held during the conference. It gathered 30 participants from all over the world, to listen and discuss to on-going research in the field of technoentrepreneurship. The quality and diversity of the communications shows that the topic is growing more than ever. Noticeably, this year, we saw a lot of participants from Asia and <st1:place w:st="on">South-East Asia</st1:place>. It does not come as a surprise as this region, along with <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>, is the place where the terms 'technoentrepreneurship' or 'technopreneurship' are used a lot, and mostly to name activities around the development of high-tech clusters of start-ups by public entities.
Thus, it appears that, as it was the case 30 years ago, the development of technoentrepreneurial activities still goes with a strong impetus from local or national governing bodies. Of course, this remark is not secluded to high-growth countries. Similar activities occur in traditional 'western' economies. So, it implies that for a while, research in the field of technoentrepreneurship will integrate the political environment as a strong variable in the equation of growth and performance. As we all know, this is nevertheless not sufficient. Governments cannot create performance, they can only try to create the conditions in which start-ups will be successful and will eventually become big players in the new industries. Although other factors are obviously at play, and particularly the way start-ups work together with other start-ups and with large companies and public and private research bodies. The quest for growth and performance is a never-ending topic of research for us, and working on it in the context of high-tech ventures is more exciting than ever, particularly at a time where slowing economies are looking for new avenues of growth and where new environmental changes have certainly created a call for innovative products and services.
After this brief introduction, you won't be surprised to read that, without any specific intervention or goal in mind, all the papers in this issue deal with the concepts of network, clusters or innovation systems. The first paper, written by Malin Brännback, Alan Carsrud, Norris Krueger, and Jennie Elfving, challenges the triple-helix model (governments, universities and industry) and calls for a better and clearer integration of 256 F. Therinentrepreneurs and innovators in the equation. In the context of the situation in Sweden, Sari Roininen casts a light in the second paper on network effects in the case of complex high-tech ventures and shows that the more complex the venture is, the more important networking is. In the third paper, Francesco Schiavone reexamines the context of clusters and their structural forms to make a clear distinction between the flat clusters and the pyramidal ones and discuss why one or the other may emerge in a particular context.
In the last paper, Martin Bliemel and Elicia <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maine</st1:place></st1:state> are discussing one particular aspect of network: the network embeddedness and its study along with the characteristics of the high-tech start-up and its environment. They advocate for a better integration of the contingencies in the research agenda in order to have a better usage of the concept, both for companies and for policy makers.
I hope that you will enjoy reading this issue as much as I enjoyed preparing it. As always, if you have any paper to submit, please do it! IJTE accepts traditional contributions but it is also open to case studies, interviews of managers, book reviews or any other form of dissemination and discussion on technoentrepreneurship!

We would like to bring to your attention our new book, Standards-Battles in Open Source Software: The Case of Firefox, written by Huibert de Vries, Henk de Vries and Ilan Oshri (Palgrave, 2008).
In many ways, the rise of the open source web browser Firefox contradicts common wisdom and expectations. An industry with network effects, as is the case in the web browser industry, should follow the rationale of "the strong grows stronger, and the weak becomes weaker". This means that in the long run, a single dominant technology will prevail that prevents competing technologies from obtaining a foothold in the market. We can therefore explain the victory of Internet Explorer (IE) over Netscape mainly because IE was bundled with the Windows operating system; however, we still need to understand the rise of Firefox in a 'winner-take-all
market. Could the characteristics of Firefox, an open source software web browser, explain this unexpected success?
This book brings together insights from open source software, open standards, and standards-setting, and illustrates the dynamics of standards-settings by examining two standards battles: Internet Explorer versus Netscape, and Internet Explorer versus Firefox.
Enjoy the read.
Kind regards,
Ilan Oshri and Henk de Vries
