CALL DEADLINE EXTENSION ATLANTA COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE CONFERENCE MAY 18 – 20, 2010
The organizers of the 2010 ACAC have had multiple requests for an extension in the submission deadline for this year's ACAC due to the winter storms in the eastern US. Many had their Universities closed for several days last week or have faced transportation problems that had a similar impact. To accommodate these requests we have decided to keep the SSRN site open for paper submissions through the end of the week. We realize that those who lost most of a week of work time may be overwhelmed with other backed-up tasks; however, because of the need to review papers and inform authors in a timely manner, we will only be able to extend the deadline through the 20th.
We want to encourage all authors who have not already done so to submit manuscripts on any of the topics listed in the Call.
The Call for Papers is reprinted below.

The "big picture" strategy questions...
- Where do competitive & distinctive advantages come from, and how are they sustained?
- Why do some companies & new ventures consistently outperform their competitors?
- Why do some businesses succeed in the same industry environments where others fail?
- And what, if anything, can managers and entrepreneurs actually do about it?
The aim of this annual conference series is to improve our ability to answer these "big picture"
questions and other related questions by engaging some of the world's top researchers on competitive advantage in Atlanta for three days a year.
We expect to:
- Share cutting-edge research, ideas, and theories.
- Foster collaborative research efforts.
- Build a worldwide association and network of
researchers who are dedicated to advancing the
state of knowledge about competitive advantage.

ALL authors of accepted papers. All authors of

- Submitted papers will undergo a selection
process, NOT a formal review process -- so

authors may also choose to allow their submitted
papers to be considered for two other alternative
session formats: a poster-presentation session

(where authors to provide feedback to each other
on their papers, under the guidance of an
experienced facilitator).

STRATEGIC HUMAN CAPITAL
Call for Papers: SMS Rome Conference
Conference dates: September 12 - 15, 2010
Submission Deadline: February 25, 2010
See Rome.StrategicManagement.net
The deadline is approaching to submit your proposals for the new Strategic Management Society (SMS) interest group, Strategic Human Capital (SHC), inaugural program in Rome. We welcome research broadly addressing the role of human capital in explaining firm performance. Scholarship that is interdisciplinary and/or considers human capital at multiple levels of analysis is especially welcomed. Some sample key questions include:
* What causes firm heterogeneity in valuable human capital?
* What mechanisms link human capital to firm outcomes?
* How does human capital contribute to competitive advantage?
* How do firms manage value appropriation by "stars"?
* How do labor markets differ from other strategic factor markets?
* How does human capital interact with social or intellectual capital?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the submission process for the SMS conference, we encourage you to visit the submission website (http://rome.strategicmanagement.net/submissions/guidelines.php). Some important points about submission guidelines are that proposals:
* Should not exceed a total of 7 pages – 5 pages for the body which can include charts, graphs, diagrams, etc. and up to 2 pages of references. These may be single spaced. It is a hallmark that SMS presentations are on the cutting edge. Therefore, we invite proposals rather than completed papers.
* Must be accompanied by a 125 word abstract for inclusion in the Program.
* Only electronic submissions will be accepted.
* Maximum of two (2) proposals, either as an author or a co-author.
* Must clearly indicate a conference track that best fits for your work (We are Track L).
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us. Find out more:
1. Get involved with SHC at: http://emory.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_74A0k7AMLrP6Eni&SVID=Prod

Research Question and Case Study
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
We are conducting a literature review and meta-analysis of the antecedents and consequences of absorptive capacity at the firm level of analysis. We are interested in all conceptualizations and operationalizations of the absorptive capacity construct. If you have such a study, in press, in manuscript form, in progress, or in some form in which correlations among variables are available, we would be very grateful to hear about it. Of course, your work would also be included or cited in our eventual paper. Thanks in advance for letting us know.
Best regards.
