AoM Annual Meeting 2008: Professional Development Workshop
WHEN AND HOW CAN FIRMS MAKE MONEY FROM RESOURCES? REVISITING THE ORIGINS OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Central to the origins of competitive advantage is the question of how firms can acquire resources and capabilities at a cost inferior to their value-creating ability. This issue was raised just over 20 years ago by Jay Barney, who suggested that luck or superior foresight were necessary to profit from valuable resources and capabilities. Since then, although external linkages have become more important for understanding resource acquisition/access and accumulation/reconfiguration, our knowledge of how, when, and why firms might profit from such resources and capabilities has not developed as speedily.
Could we therefore say more about when and how firms can make money from resources and capabilities? Are luck and superior expectations the only mechanisms for profitably acquiring resources? Can firms strategize in factor markets? How do real firms behave in strategic factor markets? How do firms and entrepreneurs cope with or exploit expectational asymmetries? What settings and methods might be useful for testing and extending the theory? Can insights from research into entrepreneurial opportunity recognition, executive compensation and mobility, M&As, or other areas shed new light on these questions?
This two-part PDW thus seeks to revitalize interest in the origins of competitive advantage, while providing an opportunity for interested scholars to develop innovative new research projects in this area. The first interactive session will allow participants to meet and engage other scholars with interests in the area, while the second paper-development session will provide successful authors with high quality feedback on new research projects. (Confirmed panelists for the general session include Jay Barney, Rachel Croson, Allison Mackey, Joe Mahoney, and Rich Makadok. To register, please send an email to FactorMarketPDW@yahoo.com.)
We are now soliciting submissions for the afternoon paper development session. The session will provide a wonderful opportunity to receive high-quality developmental feedback, for authors doing work in some way related to if, how, and when firms can make money from resources. Theoretical, empirical, and/or methodological contributions are welcome, and we encourage submissions from multiple perspectives and/or theoretical traditions. Since we also seek to stimulate new research, we will be happy to receive either full work-in-progress papers, or well-developed paper proposals. Nevertheless, in order to guarantee high-quality feedback, we will only be able to accept a limited number of submissions, and as such, paper (or proposal) quality and creativity are important.
The submission deadline is July 1st 2008, and successful authors will be notified by mid-July. Submissions should be sent by email to FactorMarketPDW@yahoo.com. Full paper submissions should be about 25 double-spaced pages all-inclusive, while proposal submissions should have at least 3 single-spaced pages of text.
We look forward to your submissions and participation!

Reflecting the changing scope of the service management field, the International Journal of Service Industry Management (IJSIM), published by Emerald Group Publishing Limited, will be re-titled the Journal of Service Management (JOSM) effective from the beginning of the 2009 volume.
Publisher, Kate Snowden explains, "Following a consultation exercise with the journal's International Editorial Advisory Board and research undertaken by Emerald into the service management market, it was decided that re-launching the journal under a new title was necessary. This is a major step forward for the journal and one which myself and the editor feel will secure the journal's continuing growth in a competitive scholarly publications' market. Under its new name and revised editorial mission, the journal will move squarely into the broader field of service management and in so doing, will make itself open to new author communities and a wider range of research topics."
Journal Editor, Professor Bo Edvardsson adds, "As the economies across the world have become more service oriented, so has the importance of studying and understanding the challenges faced by managers and executives charged with running service organizations. Such challenges arise not only in the traditional service businesses of hospitality and retailing, but also in information, engineering, health care, consulting, governmental, not-for-profit, and services in manufacturing companies.
The mission of the Journal of Service Management is to add theoretically anchored, empirically validated research to the understanding of service and its effective management. The journal will publish articles that make important contributions and add value to the knowledge base of a science of service."
Any queries regarding the changes should be sent to Kate Snowden, Publisher at ksnowden@emeraldinsight.com
