Research in management revolves around firms & markets, operating at a
macro-meso level, but necessitates assumptions about the behavior of
individuals. The Behavioral Strategy workshop at AoM is a forum to
deliberate realistic, parsimonious & generalizable theories linking
micro-behavior to macro-outcomes in organizations & markets. Back for the
second year, it features an expanded panel of top scholars in the broad
research area of behavioral strategy.
Speakers will discuss what constitutes behavioral strategy, provide examples
of research & suggest future research opportunities. Participant will

Dear colleagues,
We hope that you can join us at the Academy for a professional development workshop on Understanding and Managing Ecosystems. Please see the details below.
Understanding and Managing Ecosystems (Sponsored by TIM, BPS, ENT)
Professional Development Workshop, 2011 AoM Annual Meeting (San Antonio, TX)
Saturday, Aug 13th, 2:00PM - 4:00PM
Location: San Antonio Convention Center in Room 216 A
Organizers:
Rahul Kapoor, University of Pennsylvania
Anne Parmigiani, University of Oregon
Discussants:
Ron Adner, Dartmouth College
Alfonso Gambardella, Bocconi University
Anita McGahan, University of Toronto
Will Mitchell, University of Toronto & Duke University
Harbir Singh, University of Pennsylvania
Workshop overview:
A firm's ability to create and capture value from its innovation is critically shaped by the web of interdependent activities and technologies that exist within an ecosystem. These ecosystems often span multiple industries and comprise of focal firms, their suppliers, customers and complementors. Thus, to truly understand the nature of firms' innovation efforts and performance implications, we need to look beyond internal resources and capabilities as well as dyadic inter-firm relationships to consider the broader set of interdependencies in the ecosystem.
Workshop format and registration:
Participants will have the opportunity to hear and learn from some of the leading scholars in strategy and innovation. We intend this to be a working session, helping authors develop their early-stage work, with a focus on sharpening their questions, framing and contributions. We are open to the different theoretical and methodological approaches.
Interested participants should register at https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg and submit a 3-5 page extended abstract to ecosystem@wharton.upenn.edu by July 19. Late submissions will not be considered and the slot will be released to individuals on the waitlist. To ensure high quality feedback and discussion, this workshop is limited to 40 participants.

HICSS-45 Call for papers for the minitrack on:
"CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS"
Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track of the Forty-Fifth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) Maui, HI - January 4 - 7, 2012
Papers are invited for the minitrack on "CREATIVITY IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
Innovation is a critical force in organizational performance and survival.
Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which creativity and innovation are needed in order to cope with situational and economic pressures and frequent changes.
Designers and Developers of organizational systems must therefore innovate almost continuously to keep the organization aligned with such changes.
Creativity is a critical pre-condition for innovation. Generating novel and creative ideas are the key to innovation and growth in every organization today. Providing employees, customers and partners with tools to think creatively has been proven to increase innovation in organizations. Research shows that organizations which have established skill-bases and tools for creativity outperform the competition in terms of revenue, rolling out new products, innovation and growth. Though organizations deploy groups for most creative processes, there has been little research in the area of group creativity. Most creative research is focused on individual factors affecting creativity. Many challenges that arise from pursuing creativity in teams remain unexplored.
This minitrack provides one of the key international platforms on which the following issues can be discussed:
1. Methods & techniques to improve creativity in co-located and
distributed groups
2. Design and Evaluation of Systems and technology for enhancing
creativity
3. Challenges and opportunities for creativity in teams
4. Theoretical foundations for creativity at individual, group and
organizational levels
5. Practical approaches to foster creativity at individual, group and
organizational levels
6. The creation and implementation of innovations in teams and
organizations
7. Factors affecting creativity in teams and organizations
8. Building team-based organizations
9. Multi-level issues of creativity in teams and organizations
10. Research linking individual creativity to group level creativity and
organizational level innovation
11. Multi-disciplinary approaches to creativity
12. Creative collaboration between business partners and customers (e.g.
co-creation of products and services)
Thus, papers are welcome that contain original ideas on how to improve creativity and innovation through all phases of problem-solving:
Understanding a problem, devising potential solutions, evaluating alternatives, making choices, making plans, taking action, and after-action review. We seek papers that suggest methodical, technical, theoretical, or practical improvements for realizing creative ideas in the workforce as innovations, for an organization cannot benefit from its creativity until its ideas are implemented.
There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature.
Themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome):

HICSS-45 Call for papers for the minitrack on:
"SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES AND THEORIES IN COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH"
Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track of the Forty-Fifth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) Maui, HI - January 4 - 7, 2012
Papers are invited for the minitrack on "Social & Psychological Perspectives and Theories in Collaboration and Communication Technology Research" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
One of the major assets of any organization is its people. Understanding of the people and their social, psychological, cultural, and emotional environment helps organizations develop systems and processes that can lead to a productive workplace. Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which an understanding of people is the critical link that is needed in order to survive and thrive in today's competitive environment.
Technology supported collaboration and communication between individuals entails complex social and psychological situations. An understanding of social and psychological aspects of collaboration is essential to creating and sustaining productive work environments. The use of collaboration and communication systems and the consequences of such use are framed by the psychological and social factors concerning the users and their work environment. It is important to understand these factors to successfully facilitate the sustained implementation and use of these technologies.
Further, knowledge of the psycho-social aspects of technology-supported collaboration and communication also assists in detecting, avoiding, and effectively resolving the issues that may arise from using such technologies. Thus, it is essential to study the psycho-social issues surrounding the design and usage of these technologies.
Modern collaboration technologies, including but not limited to Social Media and Web 2.0, offer various ways to connect, collaborate, form communities, and share information and knowledge. As many organizations are figuring out productive ways to create value from collaborative networks, researchers have intensified efforts to understand and design ways in which communication technologies can support both work-related and pleasure related activities. Such research often involves or requires psychosocial perspectives.
Thus, this minitrack provides one of the key international platforms to host research papers and presentations that provide a social/psychological perspective on studying issues related to the dynamic interplay between people, their environment, and the collaboration technologies they use. Some examples of areas which can be a part of the minitrack include:
. Personality, behavioral, and social factors related to communication
and collaboration in co-located and distributed groups
. Social and psychological effects of using systems to support
collaboration
. Attractions and affiliations in groups arising from use of social
networks
. Team/group psychology and use of communication technologies
. Effects and consequences of personality on system design and use
. Psycho-social factors influencing acceptance and implementation of
collaboration technologies
. Virtual leadership and leadership at a distance
. Online aggression and violence
. Motivating employees to adopt, create, use collaborative work
practices
. Correlations between organizational performance and attention to
human capital
. Influence of communication technologies on perceptions of self and
others
. Emotion and networking technologies
. Social and interpersonal implications of communications over
cyberspace
. Internet dependencies and addictions
. Online evaluations and assessments of social and psychological well
being
. Interpersonal treatment with the use of online technologies
. Human Resource practices online (e.g. performance appraisal, hiring
and firing, job analysis)
. Altruism, conformity, and other social factors in online
communications
However, the above examples do not provide a comprehensive overview. We invite any paper that contains original research highlighting the human component in collaboration and communication technologies. There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature.
Broad themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome):
. Social psychology (e.g. Motivation, Trust, Social learning, Self
efficacy, Behavioral theories)
. Organizational psychology (e.g. Self monitoring, Interpersonal
treatment, OCBs, Globalization)
. Cultural psychology
. Personality
. Leadership
. Prejudice and discrimination
. Attitudes and social intelligence
. Violence and aggression
. Attractions and affiliations in groups
. Group psychology (e.g. Social loafing,
. Mood and emotions
. Diversity
. Internet use and social/psychological well being
. Sexual harassment
. Performance appraisal
