Published papers or papers that were accepted for publication prior to the submission deadline will not be considered for the conference. We seek to accept a relatively small number of high-quality papers that target top tier academic journals. Submitted papers will go through a double blind review. Submissions will be evaluated based on their academic rigor, relevance, and contribution to the field of strategic management. Accepted proposals will be assigned to paper sessions or interactive sessions based on this evaluation.
The deadline for online submissions of paper proposals is June 15th, 2010.
Paper proposals, written in English, should clearly identify the research questions and methodology. If available, the main results, implications, and contributions should be discussed. Paper proposals are limited to 2 pages of text and 1 page of references. Use double spacing with 1-inch margins and a font size no smaller than 11 pt. The title of your paper must be included in the header and should exactly match the title provided in the online submission form. Please do not include any author identifying information.
To submit the paper proposal, upload your proposal in a Word or PDF file format to the Submissions Section of the ISC website at:
http://www.isc.org.il/ where guidelines will be provided. Presenting authors must be available to present their papers any time during the conference. There will be no changes in the program to accommodate specific time preferences. An author may be designated as the presenter of only one paper, but can be listed as a co-author of up to 3 papers.
Notices to authors will be sent in August, 2010, indicating whether the proposed paper has been accepted to a paper session or an interactive session.
ISC Best Paper Award
Select paper proposals which receive the highest assessment in the review process will be nominated as finalists for the ISC Best Paper Award and go through an additional blind-review process. The selected winner(s) of the ISC Best Paper Award will receive a plaque and a $1,000 cash prize sponsored by Rotem Strategy, an Israeli-based strategy consulting firm.
The winning paper will be announced in the concluding session of ISC.

Research Questions
--------------------------------------------------------
I am writing a book on 'Strategy in India'. Fortunately I have good access to top management of firms in India and I am going to CEOs/ Presidents/ Vice Presidents/ Managing Directors in next few days for their inputs. I am asking seven basic open-ended questions. Would you please give your critical inputs, looking at the faults/shortcomings in it? I plan to ask the same seven questions, for 10 sub-themes in strategy like innovation strategy, technology strategy, competitive strategy, global strategy etc from others in senior position. The idea is to get views from 3-5 senior people from industry and then put these views together in the beginning or end of each chapter.
The Five plus Two Questions
1. Is your company formulating and implementing strategies?
While answering kindly also look in terms of: Recent past (Post liberalization of 1991) and Present times, Is there any difference across sectors/industries? Is there any difference between Indian and foreign firms? Share any interesting examples of success or failure?
2. How is your company doing it?
I mean what kind of strategies you are making for example Corporate governance, Corporate social responsibility, Global strategy, Mergers and acquisitions, Green management and sustainability, Innovations, Entrepreneurship etc.
3. Why is your company making strategies?
I mean what are the reasons behind this, for example Survival, Growth, Managing Failures, Providing Direction, Strategic Positioning and Competitive advantage, Changing business environment, Globalization etc.
4. How formulating and implementing strategies' is making an impact on performance of your company?
5. What are/shall be the future plans of your company for strategy? While answering kindly also look in terms of: Not doing it and won't do in future, Not doing it but may do it in future, Doing it and will continue the same way, Doing it but will change the course of action, Doing it and will do more etc.
6. What are your key learning's in strategy till now?
7. What other firms/CEOs must not do while operating/entering into India?
8. Any other inputs you would like to share, which you feel, are not covered by the seven questions.
Looking forward to your kind inputs.
