Technology and Innovation Management
(Program Chair: Fernando Suarez, TIM2009@bu.edu)
To submit, go to: http://submissions.aomonline.org/2009
Specific Domain: TIM encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change from a variety of perspectives, including strategic, managerial, behavioral, and operational issues. The problem domain includes the management of innovation, technology strategy, research and development, information technologies and the internet, technology-based entrepreneurship and process technologies. Participants in this broad academic endeavor come from a wide range of disciplines and draw on an extensive array of theoretical and research paradigms. We enter this complex problem domain in the spirit of dialogue, debate, and deepened understanding. Major topics include: studies of innovation processes; innovation diffusion and the development, implementation and use of new technologies; technology development trajectories; entry timing advantages; intellectual capital; competing in platform-mediated markets; organizational processes by which technically-oriented activities are integrated into organizations; product development strategies; technical project management; behaviors and characteristics of technical professionals; technological forecasting and policies; impact of information technologies and the internet; relationship between new technologies and organizational forms.
Special Instructions: The TIM division welcomes empirical or conceptual papers and symposia on topics dealing with any aspect of the management of technology or organizational innovation. Papers or symposia that relate to the domains of other divisions are encouraged; they may become candidates for cross-divisional sessions (shared interest tracks or joint symposia). Deadline for submissions is January 15th, 2009.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SUBMISSIONS COMPLY WITH THE GUIDELINES, SO AS TO AVOID DELAYS OR REJECTIONS.
Division Awards: TIM offers two competitive awards as part of the Academy submission process: The TIM Best Student Paper Award, and the TIM Division Best Paper Award. To be eligible for the best student paper award, the student must be senior author or sole author and this should be clearly indicated on the title page of the paper. Papers considered for the Best Student Paper Award can also be considered for the TIM Division Best Paper Award. In addition to these two awards, we offer several Best Reviewer Awards to a number of reviewers whose reviews are particularly deep, complete and insightful.

The Academy requires reviewers to sign up every year and thus we need you to register now even if you were a reviewer last year. To sign up as a reviewer, please visit:
http://review.aomonline.org
When you register, please don't forget to select TIM as a division to review (you can sign up for a maximum of three divisions).
Reviewers keep our intellectual community alive and vibrant... and reviewing for TIM does not entail much work, really (typically you are asked to review one or two papers). Also, reviewers: (a) have a chance to be receive one of TIM's "Best Reviewer" awards given at the plenary TIM business meeting during the Academy; (b) are more likely to be invited to be session chairs or discussants for sessions related to their interests.
Thanks in advance for reviewing for TIM and for helping us keep the momentum that has placed TIM among the leading divisions in the AOM!
Cheers,
Fernando F. Suarez, TIM Division Program Chair
