- Annual Meeting
--------------------------------------------------------
This an announcement of two exciting preconference events. Please read the notice carefully (and do not reply to this email but use the instructions in the message to reserve your place).
The IMD Division is sponsoring two pre-conference activities.
The first of these is an ARCHITECTURAL TOUR of the city of Chicago. Chicago is known for its unique contribution to architecture, from the nature of its skyscrapers to the unique architecture of its different neighborhoods. The tour will run from approximately 1PM to 4:30 PM on 6 August (departing from one of the conference hotels). The tour will be led by Diane Dillon who is a leading expert on the history of Chicago architecture. The tour (which will be by bus) will encompass the loop, the Near Northside, the Lakeside and museum districts and many of the neighborhoods of the Southside (e.g., Bronzville and Prairie Avenue). For an idea of what you will see just visit http://webapps.cityofchicago.org/LandmarksWeb/maps.do.
We can take up to 50 individuals.
The second pre-conference event is a visit to McDonald's HAMBURGER UNIVERSITY in Oak Brook. Hamburger University is the training ground for McDonald's franchisees and executives and is world famous for its approach to training. The trip will include a visit to the facilities as well as presentations by trainers and the team at Hamburger University. The visit will be on 7 August and depart at approximately 7:30 AM (again from one of the conference hotels) and return at approximately 2PM (departing HU at about 1PM). McDonald's is graciously providing lunch as part of the visit. You can get information about HU at http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/careers/hamburger_university.html.
We can take up to 40 individuals.
The cost of the architectural tour events is $40 for academic staff, with a limited number of spaces at 1/2 price reserved for PhD students (currently we are holding 10 places). Family members, friends and significant others are welcome to join this event (at the full price).
The cost of the Hamburger University visit is $50 for academic staff with a limited number of 1/2 price spaces available for PhD students (currently we are holding 10 places). Currently this event is open only to those attending the conference (no family, friends or others).
If you are interested in either event you can register by sending an email with your details (Full name, affiliation and mobile phone number) to IMDEvents@gmail.com [PLEASE DO NOT JUST sent email to Tim!!!!!]. With the following:
1. Indicate in the subject which event you are wishing to attend (send a separate email for each event as this is the screen).
2. Please also indicate if you are a PhD student (you will need to verify this in some way - link to a website, attendance at a doctoral consortium event). The first 10 PhD students will be given spaces at the discounted rate. All others will be waitlisted unless they wish to guarantee a place by paying the full price.
Closer to the date I will inform all the registered attendees of the specific logistics. It is possible that if the events are fully booked we can also reduce the prices accordingly (which are mainly the cost of transport). We will also accept payment in Euros and RMB at outrageous exchange rates!

Dear AOM Members,
We call your attention to our PDW session, "Sustaining Innovation in a Global
System", on Saturday, August 8th, from 12:10 to 2:40 pm at Hyatt Regency
Chicago in Addams.
We bring together scholars from diverse disciplines and perspectives to focus on
topics relevant to sustaining innovation in a rapidly integrating global system
where national systems of innovation are individually insufficient to address
global challenges such as competition, climate change, pollution, and economic
crises.
The PDW panelists’ presentations will incorporate Q&A and dialogue with
participants.
Topics will be related to the following critical inter-linked areas: (1)
Characterizing a global system and providing perspectives on ‘sustaining
innovation’; (2) mechanisms of globalization of innovation including
institutions (public and private), firm strategies, organizational forms; and
(3) the impact of globalizing innovation on firms, nations, and regions.
The panel includes David Audretsch who has pioneered research on
entrepreneurship and regional innovation. His latest book is Entrepreneurship,
Innovation and Economic Growth. Jeff Furman has published papers on academic
science and the pharmaceutical industry, public and private spillovers, location
and strategy and national innovative capacity. Gary Herrigel’s research focuses
on the changing boundaries of firms and the arrangements that govern them in
Europe (especially Germany), the United States and Japan. His latest book is
Manufacturing Possibilities: Creative Action and the Recomposition of Industrial
Practice in the U.S., Germany and Japan. Gerry McDermott research focuses on
problems of institutional and organizational learning in the formation of
meso-level, public-private governance institutions in emerging market and
post-socialist economies, and includes a book Embedded Politics: Industrial
Networks and Institutional Change in Postcommunism. Gita Surie’s research
focuses on cross border innovation, technology transfer, distributed
entrepreneurship and development and alliances between entrepreneurial and
multinational firms, and includes a book, Knowledge, Organizational Evolution
and Market Creation: The Globalization of Indian Firms from Steel to Software.
Pre-registration is not required but recommended. You are encouraged to submit
abstracts prior to attending the workshop.

International Journal of Innovation Management (IJIM)
Special Issue on Open Innovation and the Integration of Suppliers
Call for Papers
Guest Editor
Dr. Alexander Brem, School of Business and Economics, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and VEND consulting GmbH, Nuremberg
Background
Open innovation describes an innovation paradigm shift from a closed to an open innovation model (Chesbrough, 2003). With this idea, the term open innovation became one of the most common used buzzwords of recent years, with a plethora of research. To date, many companies are already using these principles in practice as well, especially when it comes to the integration of customers. However, the concept has been criticized for being too prescriptive and for offering little new to innovation research or practice (Trott and Hartmann, 2009). For instance, the lead-user concept (von Hippel 1988, 2005) became one of the most important trends in innovation management in the last ten years, but is open innovation any more than the lead-user concept (see IJIM Special Issue on User Innovation, 2008, 12(3))?
Hardly anybody outside a company knows its products and processes better than its suppliers (Bessant, 2003; Petersen et al., 2003; von Hippel, 1995). Research confirms that intensive integration of suppliers in the value creation process positively influences the success of the company, particularly in highly competitive industries (Wingert, 1997). This is a result of the progressing reduction in the depth of value creation of manufacturers and the increasing transfer of know-how towards the suppliers. In multilevel business-to-business relationships, the suppliers often have the best or the only access and comprehensive knowledge about the end users (Groher, 2003). A practical example for supplier integration is the use of guest engineers (Maylor, 2001). Therefore, suppliers determine the scope of possible innovations, which most companies do not actively use yet. The main risk for suppliers is the danger of releasing or using confidential expertise gleaned from other sources. Reciprocal trust is critical for this to work (Groher, 2003). Instruments such as the continuous improvement model or collaborative engineering already involve the suppliers, but mostly on an operative level only. Hence, suppliers are an important source for open innovation.
In this context, theoretical and conceptual papers on supplier integration and challenges on the firm level are welcome. Empirical studies that feature examples and results of supplier integration are encouraged, as well as papers on success factors and risks. Comparative studies that examine similarities and differences between different sectors and countries are also welcome.

Theoretical aspects
- Open and closed innovation frameworks
