Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education Editor Vacancy
Nominations are being solicited for the editorship of Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education (DSJIE) for a four-year term of service to officially begin on January 1, 2012, renewable for another two years; however, Chetan Sankar's term as editor will extend until July 1, 2012. DSJIE is being increasingly recognized as a Category I journal by colleges of business and the new editor has the opportunity to take the journal to the next level. A description of the position and the responsibilities of the editor are presented below. Inquiries and nominations should be addressed to Rhonda Lummus, Chair of the Publications Committee, at rlummus@indiana.edu.
The basic responsibility of the Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education Editor is to produce, through Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, currently three but up to four quality issues of the Journal in January, April, July, and October of each year. These issues must appear on schedule. The exact manner in which the Editor's office operates will obviously vary according to the Editor; however, the major tasks required in the position can be summarized as follows:
1. Become well trained with the Editor and Production Coordinator functions of the Scholar One manuscript system.
2. Select and appoint Associate Editors with a two-year renewable term, along with Senior Associate Editors and members of the editorial review board.
3. Assign manuscripts to either Senior Associate Editor or Associate Editors so that they can determine whether it is appropriate for the Journal.
4. Monitor the articles that are in the system and work with the Associate Editors and reviewers so that timely reviews are obtained.
5. Flag overdue reviews and decide when and how to nudge the tardy Associate Editors and referees.
6. Evaluate reviews and make publication decision. The Editor may make the decision to accept, revise, or reject the article.
7. Invite revision of manuscripts that are promising, providing the authors with copies of the reviewers' comments and an overview of an appropriate revision strategy.
8. Make a publication decision on the paper and inform the author(s) of the Editor's decision.
9. Process all decisions according to standard practice, including copyrights, an electronic copy of the paper, bios, and contact information from the authors.
10. Assign accepted papers to particular issues and to a particular place within each issue. Coordinate journal production with Wiley-Blackwell Publishing.
11. Meet publication deadlines. Each issue should be assembled with enough time allotted to meet the publication schedule, as coordinated with Wiley-Blackwell Publishing.
12. Work with Wiley-Blackwell so that DSJIE is included in the Science Citation Index and make necessary policy changes so that it is recognized as a top-tier journal.
13. Maintain good relations with the public and the membership in particular, through two to three speaking engagements each year at various professional meetings.
14. Publish a "Special Issue" on an occasional basis. This will typically be done in response to a special interest of the membership.
15. Maintain a good working relationship with the Institute's Publications Committee.
16. Maintain the current website www.dsjie.org and innovate by incorporating Web2.0 technologies so that the authors, reviewers, and readers can interact and exchange views.
17. Maintain a good working relationship with the Institute's Board of Directors, reporting to them on a regular basis, requesting a budget, and responding to their suggestions and requests. It is required that the DSJIE Editor attend a portion of the DSI Board meeting held during the November DSI Annual Meeting.
The DSJIE Editor should have familiarity with the functional and methodological areas related to innovative education in the decision sciences. Equally important, the Editor must be willing to put aside personal preferences in favor of the interests represented by the membership of the Institute. The Editor must also be able to work under time constraints resulting from publication deadlines, author requests, and a steady flow of manuscripts (approximately 100 to 120 new manuscripts annually). Acceptance of the Editor's position should be accompanied by a willingness to devote a considerable amount of personal time to its duties over a four to six-year period.
The editor also coordinates the selection of the best published teaching briefs and empirical manuscripts for presentation at the annual conference. A cash award of $2,000 for the best empirical papers is available from Wiley-Blackwell publishers and an award of $500 for the best teaching briefs from Alpha Iota Delta. An annual stipend will be provided by the Institute in the amount of $5,000 directly for the use of enhancing the DSJIE website and/or other DSJIE related activities to the promotion of DSJIE.
An interested candidate for the Editorship position should provide the following information:
1. Current curriculum vita that includes information about education, academic and administrative positions, publications, honors and awards, professional affiliations and activities, and other relevant items.
2. Description of editorial experience with scholarly journals or other publications.
3. Statement of interest and availability to serve as Editor, including a description of anticipated academic and professional responsibilities for the next four years.
4. Statement of editorial philosophy, including directions the publication should take, and approach to working with Associate Editors and the Editorial Review Board.
5. Description of institutional commitment for the support of the editorial office for the next four years. The commitment of support should include release time for the Editor, adequate local secretarial/ graduate student support, sufficient funding for development of websites and Web2.0 technologies, telephone charges, and computing and other related expenses.
The policy of the Institute regarding the timing of the appointment of an Editor is as follows. The appointment of the new Editor by the Board of Directors shall be finalized at least three months before the new term of editorship is to begin, so as to allow the newly appointed Editor to work with the outgoing Editor for familiarization with the editorial procedures and processes and for the replacement of Editorial Review Board members and Associate Editors. To meet this objective, the due date for nomination/application for the position will be November 1, 2011. The new Editor would assume this position effective January 2012. The new editor and his/her staff will have to begin the transition process working with the current editor during the first half of 2012 to assume the editorial responsibilities.
Direct all inquiries and nominations to:
Rhonda Lummus, Kelley School, Indiana University - Bloomington, rlummus@indiana.edu. Chair, DSI Publications Committee

Long Range Planning - Special Issue and Research Conference
CALL FOR PAPERS
China Business and International Competitiveness: Economics, Politics, and Technology
Guest Editors:
Joseph Cheng
Professor of International Business

Director, The CIC Center for Advanced Study
in International Competitiveness

Consulting Editors:

Texas A&M University
Deadline for Abstract Submission: December 15, 2011
Conference Dates: June 18-19, 2012
Tentative Publication Date: March 15, 2013
Which nation currently has the fastest computer on earth? The largest growing middle-class for consumer products? The greatest potential to challenge the economic, political, and technological dominance of the West? And, the one country that the world needs to know more about in order to anticipate her global and regional impact?
The answers to the above questions are China, China, China, and China!
The purpose of this special issue and research conference is to provide a forum for strategic management scholars to present their latest research on China business from both the perspectives of the foreign multinational corporations (MNCs) and the indigenous firms based in China. We are particularly interested in papers that adopt an interdisciplinary approach in combining theoretical ideas and research methodologies from multiple academic disciplines (see Cheng, Henisz, Roth, & Swaminathan, 2009; Cheng, Guo, & Skousen, 2011; Okhuysen & Bonardi, 2011; Shenkar, 2004). Our goal is to publish papers that question conventional thinking (including established theories) and offer new perspectives that advance theory and practice on the strategic management of China business.
Topics
More specifically, we seek submissions that investigate the economic, political, and technological institutions in China and explore how these affect China as a place for foreign MNCs to invest, in light of the changing competitive landscape following the 2008 global financial crisis. For example, what competitive advantages would these firms obtain from setting up operations in China which they could not get elsewhere, particularly those advantages that they could leverage worldwide?
We are also interested in papers that examine the currently evolving economic, political, and technological infra-structures in China and assess their likely effects on the international strategies of Chinese firms and their competitiveness in the global marketplace. As well, we welcome papers that assess the social and environmental costs of China's economic competitiveness and their impact on the country's attractiveness for foreign investment.
Finally, we encourage submissions that look at the issues from the perspective of the international competitors of Chinese firms, particularly those residing in the other Asian countries (e.g., India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand), and investigate how these competitors protect their business interests in the region as well as globally.
Submission and Review Process
Authors interested in submitting to the special issue and research conference should send an abstract of 5-6 pages (double-spaced in 12 points font) to the guest editors at the addresses below summarizing the key ideas of their paper and its contributions.

Background
Innovation provides a strong competitive advantage and is one of the best ways to speed up the rate of change and adaptation to the global environment. According to a recent survey by McKinsey, 84 percent of executives say innovation is extremely or very important to their companies'
growth strategy. Concurrently, the innovation topic is also regaining more and more visibility and interest among the academic communities worldwide.
Though, some of the challenges of innovating are remarkably consistent, the recent period has seen the emergence of new ways for stimulating and managing the innovation process, especially in an international perspective.
Even if these processes are taking place in very different industries, there are many parallels in successfully managing them.
The purpose of this book is to inventory those new routes, to explore them in depth and to assess their value both for markets and companies. More specifically, the book would be organized around three themes:
* How to stimulate and nurture innovations
* How to commercialize innovations
* How to lead and manage the innovation process
With this edited book, hence, we want to give an overview of current trends in an international context. All submitted chapter proposals will be double-blind reviewed to ensure the highest quality.
Book Chapter Synopses with suggested topics
1. New ways of stimulating innovations
1. Frugal innovation coming from emergent countries who are redesigning
products to reduce costs not just by 10%, but by up to 90% and are sparse in the use of raw materials and their impact on the environment
2. Symbiotic innovations (Customer driven and Open innovations)
3. Ambidextrous innovations coming from companies which are able to
focus and manage both engineering and marketing teams equally
4. Embedded organic innovations which require firms to integrate
substantially into their surrounding communities in order to assure the assimilation of their exploitable knowledge. The embedding process can be implicit, explicit, organic or mechanic, explorative or exploitative depending on the nature and timing of the innovation process
5. Integration of and in international networks
6. Citizensourcing and Crowd Sourcing as new forms of end-user
integration in times of mass customization
7. Cross-industry innovation to foster lateral thinking and creativity
8. Global R&D Management in a globally connected environment
1. New approaches to the commercialization of innovations
1. The valorization of IP (as illustrated in the current legal
conflicts between the major players in the telecommunication and computer
industries)
2. Original pricing models for value based innovations
3. The role of social networks in the distribution of innovation
4. Original communication about and for innovations
5. Culture specific innovation management, especially in an
international context
6. Company internal marketing to convince employees and stakeholders of
new innovative products and services
2. New modes for leading and managing the innovation process
1. Integrated innovation (Managing technology and organization changes
simultaneously)
2. Developing innovations with knowledge management methods
3. Incorporating design and creativity in the innovation process and
their role for fostering the innovation process
4. Developing roadmaps for linking the exploitation of current
technologies and process with the generation of innovations
5. Professional Information Technology support for innovation processes
6. Motivation and integration of internal and external stakeholders
3. Perspectives and challenges for innovation managers
1. Job specifications and requirements in an international context
2. Identification and motivation of internal and external promoters,
i.e. key people pushing the innovation processes
3. Innovation Metrics and Key Performance Indicators (development and
management)
4. Internal organization and networking, especially new forms of
centralized and decentralized forms, modes of collaboration and teamwork
5. Education and training for globalized thinking
6. Advanced training and education for life-long learning

Third International Conference on Software Business
June 18-20, 2012, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts
http://www.icsob.org
Theme: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Software Business
Advancements in the software industry have had a substantial impact not only on productivity and on GDP growth globally, but also on our daily work and life. Software business refers to commercial activities in the software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and software services. Although the software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging domain for research. In particular, software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers.

Job Positions
--------------------------------------------------------
PhD Job Posting
Title: PhD Student
School: Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
Duties and Responsibilities: This is a research position which provides a monthly stipend, full tuition and summer support. The candidate will be required to provide research assistance, up to 20 hours per week during each of the academic semesters and 40 hours per week during the summer. These activities will be aligned with the research below, but will also involve some administrative activities.
Research Area: The focus of the research will be in the area of corporate entrepreneurship. We are studying why large firms have difficulty succeeding with business-model innovations. Sony changed the way people listen to music with their Walkman and Discman portable music players and Microsoft made a computer in every home a reality. But these same firms faltered when it came to business-model innovation. Sony failed to develop a successful MP3 player and allowed Apple to take over the market with the iPod and iTunes. Microsoft allowed Google to dominate the search-engine space, failing in multiple attempts to compete in the search market. This research project, funded by Corning, ExxonMobil, Innosight (an Innovation Strategy company founded by Clay Christensen), Johnson and Johnson and P&G and supported by the Industrial Research Institute is exploring through in-depth case qualitative studies as well as quantitative survey data, of why business-model innovation is so difficult.
Basic Qualifications: Bachelors' degree and evidence of management research activity. Experience with statistics including data base management, regression and factor analyses including familiarity with popular statistical software packages such as SPSS. Some experience in structural equation modeling would be considered valuable.
Required Applicant Documents: Official college transcripts from all colleges which include a conferment of a bachelor's degree, three letters of recommendation and GMAT no older than 5 years. Overall GMAT scores in verbal and quantitative should both be above the 80th percentile. An internet based TOEFL score above 95 is required for all international students. Please also include a statement of why you are interested in getting a PhD at Stevens. Some evidence of prior management research activity would be looked at favorably during the review process.
