Dear Colleagues:
If you are attending the AIB Milan conference, you may find the following panel session on OPEN INNOVATION of interest. The panel features a presentation by a senior executive from a pioneering company in the open innovation domain, innocentive.com, in addition to scholarly perspectives.
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
12:05 – 13:20 p.m.
Room N.2-5
Session 1.3.14 – Panel
Innovation and Globalization: Looking Outward and Looking Inward Chair: Vinod K. Jain, University of Maryland
Open Innovation, originally applied to solving R&D problems, corporate venturing, and new business development, has since been applied to many different fields. Companies have been disaggregating their R&D activities and distributing innovation processes to offshore sites, strategic partners, and global networks. And, scholars are now beginning to understand the scope and applications of Open Innovation. This innovative panel will explore issues related to "open innovation" from both scholarly and practitioner perspectives and highlight the need to integrate Open Innovation into the mainstream scholarly thinking and research in business and management.
Panelists:

2008 INFORMS/Organization Science Dissertation Proposal Competition:
Call for Submissions
Submission Deadline: July 28, 2008
We invite you to submit your dissertation proposal to the INFORMS/Organization Science Dissertation Proposal Competition. Now in its 16th year, this competition is one of the most prestigious available to doctoral students studying organizations. Finalists will present their dissertation proposals in a workshop on Saturday, October 11, 2008 at the Fall INFORMS Conference held in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Washington</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">DC</st1:state></st1:place>. During the workshop finalists will receive detailed feedback from a panel of respected organizational scholars who act as final judges for the competition. The all-day workshop also provides a good opportunity to interact with a small group of future colleagues. At the workshop, the judges will award a first and second prize. The First Prize winner receives a free trip to the Organization Science Winter Conference (registration, lodging, and $500 toward airfare and expenses). Second prize is a $250 honorarium.
To be eligible, students must have defended their dissertation proposal between August 1, 2007 and August 1, 2008, but have not yet defended their dissertation. We encourage all eligible doctoral students who are studying topics related to organization science to apply.

The dissertation proposals will be judged based on soundness of theory, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field of organization science. In keeping with the mission of the INFORMS College on Organization Science, boldness and innovation will be important criteria in the judging process.
The competition is being coordinated this year by Kyle Lewis from the <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Texas</st1:placename> at <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Austin</st1:place></st1:city>.

The School of Strategy and Entrepreneurship (formerly the General Management Group at the Australian Graduate School of Management) seeks to fill a one senior faculty position or junior level position in Strategic Management or Entrepreneurship. Candidates with an international orientation to their research are also encouraged to apply. Although we prefer to fill the position at the Full Professor level we will also
consider strong candidates at more junior levels. Potential senior colleagues should possess a proven capacity to publish their research consistently in tier-1 refereed journals, to provide leadership for junior faculty and doctoral students in strategy and entrepreneurship, and to teach students in a leading business school. Junior scholars are expected to have the potential to develop a quality research program and have the
desire to play on a global stage. Junior position applicants are expected to have recently completed their PhD or to be in the position to complete that degree by the time they take up the position.
The <st1:placename w:st="on">Australian</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of Business at UNSW was recently formed as a union of the AGSM and Faculty of Commerce and Economics at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">New South Wales</st1:placename></st1:place>. The school, located in <st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city> with an MBA program in Hong Kong, is the premier business school in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>, and a leader in management research and graduate education throughout Asia and <st1:place w:st="on">Oceania</st1:place>. We offer a range of graduate programs, including full-time and executive MBA's, a Master of Commerce, a doctoral program, and we are quite 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 50 business schools by the Financial Times and our EMBA is ranked 23rd in the world, which includes a research ranking of 28.
The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Strategy</st1:placename></st1:place> 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 <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>, 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: Timothy Devinney (PhD Chicago), Graham Dowling (PhD UNSW), Geoff Eagleson (PhD Sydney), Shayne Gary (PhD London), Anna Gunnthorsdottir (PhD <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place>), Elizabeth Maitland (PhD Melbourne), J Peter Murmann (PhD Columbia) (Head of School), Peter Moran (PhD Insead), Salih Ozdemir (PhD Chicago), Yue Wang (PhD Melbourne), and Phil Yetton (PhD CMU).
We have no dominant philosophical orientation and would consider candidates for any position (junior or senior) with strong training in strategy, entrepreneurship, economics, psychology, sociology, innovation studies and other related disciplines. Candidates with a less direct 'management' orientation with a desire to move into management applications of basic disciplinary approaches will also be considered.
The remuneration package is globally competitive and teaching loads are very attractive for supporting research productivity. Teaching loads generally offer the opportunity to spend half the year in undisturbed research activities, with the potential of a sabbatical break after only three years of employment. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city></st1:place> 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/). <st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city> plays a major part in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>'s economy, accounting for over 25% of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s total economic activity. The city is <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>'s undisputed financial centre, with 65% of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region></st1:place>'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 <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city></st1:place>. Financial and business services accounts for 47.1% of the city's workforce.
Multinationals with Asian-Pacific headquarters in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city></st1:place> include 3M, American Express, AMP, Boral Ltd, BT, Coca-Cola Amatil, Compuserve, HJ Heinz, IBM, Microsoft, Mastercard, Price Waterhouse Coopers, TNT Ltd and Unilever. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city></st1:place> 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 positions are open immediately and will remain open until filled. For more information, please visit our web site at http://www2.strategy.unsw.edu.au/
Interested senior applicants should send their CV and the names of three
referees or completed letters of reference (electronically). Interested junior candidates should also include a representative working paper.
Please send all materials to the attention of Professor Timothy Devinney at recruiting@strategy-and-entrepreneurship.net.
Members of the faculty will be at the AIB, AOM and SMS conferences and please feel free to discuss this with us directly.
