A Teaching Workshop on Sources of Content for Courses and Classroom Use
Background and Objectives
We have witnessed three major challenges in the choice of content and sources of materials in teaching TIM and related courses over the past decade. First, the price of traditional materials has skyrocketed, and many students are finding it difficult to afford materials insisted upon by instructors. Second, especially in the case of courses in TIM, the material gets obsolete relatively quickly, making it necessary to use ancillary materials to make the courses current and relevant. Finally, a new set of sources have emerged recently that may ameliorate these difficulties. Nonetheless, there has been no serious discussion of these alternative sources.
In this session, we initiate a conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of different sources of content for their use for class room material. The primary outcome of the workshop for participants is an awareness of various sources for content, some potentially new to them, and the relative utility of these sources for class room use, as well as some understanding of the challenges in using them and ways of dealing with the challenges.
This PDW brings together a number of individuals who have both developed respective sources and used them in the class room. The idea is to expose the audience to content developers, and their experiences, and in general develop an appreciation of some new sources of content for their class room use.
Overview of the PDW
The proposed workshop will feature several sources of content: 1) Web 2.0 technologies, including wiki's,, 2) Management Encyclopedias and other on-line archival materials, 3) Patent databases , 4) Video-based cases; 5) Offices of technology Transfer and their project portfolios and 6) Traditional text books.
The session will consist of:
1. Introduction – V.K. Narayanan
2. Alternate sources of content:
a. Web 2.0 sources. Chris Tucci will introduce the use of wiki sites and other interactive web based resources.
b. Encyclopedia and archival materials. Gina O'Connor will present the use of the Encyclopedia of Management series, specifically the volume on Technology, Innovation and Management, as a source of summary information that introduces a wide variety of TIM related topics. Additionally, web-based archival materials will be described, including lists of top technological discoveries that can be used in the classroom as data for topics such as opportunity recognition, elaboration, real options, and project management under high uncertainty.
c. Technology Transfer Offices-Gina O'Connor will also describe the use of the patent portfolio at universities, along with associated tech transfer staff, as key resources for the classroom.
d. Patent Data Bases -Deepak Somaya will present the use of various resources from the USPTO site, and how to incorporate them into case discussion (e.g. are there any barriers to imitation, what is the direction of the firm's innovation, how innovative are they, who is likely to enter their space as competitors, etc.). Also, data sources on patent litigation will be presented. An actual case example will be used to explore these resources and illustrate their value.
e. Videos and Video-Based Cases – John Ettlie will illustrate the challenges in suing this material with the help of cases he has developed.
f. Traditional Material- V.K. Narayanan will deal with textbooks, and provide a comparison of the frequently used text books in TIM.
3. Discussion of Strengths and Weaknesses (Inviting participation from the audience)
4. Summing up – V.K. Narayanan
Plan of the PDW
This PDW is planned for 2 hours. Each presenter will take approximately 10-15 minutes to present their assigned source(s), leaving enough time for the audience to discuss the presentations and contribute their experiences. The discussions will be recorded and a white paper developed after the workshop for distribution to the interested attendees and anyone else interested in the session.
The expected audience is 15-20 participants.
A computer system with basic PowerPoint presentation set up is necessary for the presentation.

Are you an Academy of Management Member and Management Scholar who is curious about the role that blogs can play in your professional world?
Have you wondered how to find relevant blogs, create an efficient blog-reading practice, comment effectively on other people's blogs, write for a group blog, or maybe even start your own blog?
Join us at the Academy of Management for a workshop on Blogging for Management Scholars: Why & How to Read Blogs, Write for Blogs, and Create your Own Blog, being held Friday, Aug 7 2009.
This workshop follows a modular format, broken into three phases that will teach members how to use blogs at three levels of increasing engagement, from reading to writing to publishing ones own blog. And, the workshop includes a group blogging opportunity that will run during and after the Academy meetings.
- Phase 1 (8 am – noon) introduces the medium and the active community of management scholar blogs for those who want to read and comment on blogs effectively.
- Phase 2 (1 pm to 3 pm) teaches participants how to find their niche, to adjust their writing paradigm, and to contribute to existing blogs as writers.
- Phase 3 ( 3 pm - 6 pm) will have a smaller, limited enrollment. Phase 3 will teach the basics of creating your own blog.
The workshop combines informational presentations, a panel discussion by eight management scholar-bloggers, roundtable conversations, and hands-on exercises, as well as the open invitation to blog at www.InsightsToActions.com.
Pre-work (available online at www.InsightsToActions.com) will establish a basic level of understanding, and a post-session group-blogging experiment open to the Academy will let participants apply what they learn. Participants will clarify their blog-related scholarly opportunities, their blog community, their topical niche and their authorial voice. Participants will leave this workshop (1) aware of the opportunities that blogs offer management scholars, (2) able to identify, understand and use the major features of a blog, (3) understanding the array of blogs being published by management scholar colleagues, and (4) able to participate at their desired level of engagement.
Pre-registration is requested, at https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg. Colleagues interested in participating in the limited-enrollment Phase 3 of the Workshop should contact CV Harquail directly, at cvharquail@AuthenticOrganizations.com. The deadline to register online is July 10, 2009.

From a tactical role, design had shifted to a strategic role in the value creation targeted by the firms. From a downstream step in the development process, design is more and more a driver in product and service innovation. However, we know little of how design actually channels towards tangible results and how this design-driven innovation might be managed effectively especially compared to technology-driven and market pull-innovation. The PDW aims at being interactive and we plan rich discussions on the following three topics: (1) Design-driven vs. technological-based and market-pull innovations. Design in service innovation? (2) The role of design firms/agencies in the development process? (3) Teaching design in the business schools

Join us for the PDW: "Exploring Openness of Innovation: A Methodological Discourse" at this year's Academy of Management Meeting
Saturday, Aug 8 2009, 2:50PM - 4:20PM, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Addams
sponsored by TIM & BPS Division
While in recent years innovation worldwide has became one of the most popular buzzwords among academics, business people, consultants and politicians alike, the current financial and economic crisis might help us to find our way back to the roots and to the essence of innovation. Therefore, we call for a deeper exploration of what 'openness of innovation' means in times characterized by managing the unexpected. This proposal for a TIM Professional Development Workshop emphasizes the challenges of researching openness of innovation. We intend to start a methodological discourse among scholars who have a different focus of researching openness, who are trained in different disciplines, and who are at different stages of their academic career. We believe that such a heterogeneous setting of scholars will allow for deep insights into the field. In particular, it is the aim of the proposed workshop to be provocative and to go beyond the well-known textbook knowledge of what it means to explore openness of innovation. To do so, we will ask the participants to share with the audience their knowledge and very personal experience and insights from a methodological perspective, which they have gained while researching openness of innovation This PDW will be developmental for its participants as we hope that the workshop experience and discussion will highlight the importance of exploring openness of innovation, and illustrate the possibilities for methodological approaches towards this fascinating phenomenon. The more specific takeaways of the workshops are: Exploring openness of innovation and gaining methodological insights how this phenomenon can be studied from different, nevertheless still integrative, perspectives.
Excited? Pre-registration is encouraged, but you are also kindly invited to contact Anne-Katrin Neyer (anne-katrin.neyer@wiso.uni-erlangen.de if you are interested in participating.

The Tilburg Conference on Innovation:
Innovation at the Intersection of Strategy, Organization and Learning
JUNE 10-12, 2010
Center for Innovation Research (CIR)
Tilburg University
The Netherlands
Successful innovation is fundamentally about the discovery, use and commercialization of new products, processes and services. Organizations engage in innovation in order to enhance their performance; those that fail to innovate run the risk of losing out to those that do. But innovation as such does not guarantee competitive success, as the degree to which firms are able to benefit from their innovative efforts varies widely. This conference aims to explore the drivers and consequences of this heterogeneity.
Innovation strategy involves a number of decisions regarding the nature and type of innovations to engage in, as well as the speed, openness, and flexibility with which the organizations respond to challenges.
Additionally, organizations experience a tension between routine and innovation, which implies that they need to balance the resources dedicated to explorative and to exploitative projects. In many respects, issues related to innovation strategy are inseparable from those related to the organization of innovation activities.
To begin with, organizations face issues regarding the governance of innovation activities: whether to develop know-how in-house, in collaboration with other organizations, or to outsource it. Additionally, how organizations manage their portfolio of innovation activities and organize the innovation process is critical for success. The timeliness and successful commercialization of innovations are especially important. In this sense, insight into organizational learning processes in innovative projects and organizations is also crucial to understanding their innovative performance.
Hence, the central theme of this conference will deal with innovation at the intersection of strategy, organization and learning. The Tilburg Conference on Innovation, hosted by the Center for Innovation Research at Tilburg University, is a forum in which scholars from intersecting research streams will come together to debate current research and gain insights into future trends. This will be a small conference with a maximum of 45 papers so that participants have the opportunity to receive quality feedback. Our aim is to include participants from all over the world and to give equal opportunity to younger as well as established scholars, with quality of research being the predominant goal.
We invite both theoretical and empirical papers that predominantly, though not exclusively, reflect some of the following issues:
* What organizational capabilities are needed to deploy and govern
innovative activities effectively, especially in fast-changing environments and across great distances?
* How does organizational structure affect the learning inputs and
outcomes involved in innovation?
* In what ways do networks of organizations contribute to the
development of innovations?
* How do institutional forces affect the innovative performance of
organizations?
Any other contributions pertaining to innovation strategy, organization of innovation and organizational learning for innovation are also welcome.
There is no registration fee, and presenting authors will have their accommodation covered during their stay. An added attraction of the conference is the opportunity to visit the southern Netherlands in spring and sample the best local beers Belgium and the Netherlands have to offer.
Submission process: Please submit a full paper to cir@uvt.nl by February 15, 2010. The authors of selected papers will be notified by March 15, 2010.
