EXTENDED DEADLINE: Long Range Planning - Special Issue
Entry Timing Strategies: A Call for Integrative Studies
EXTENDED DEADLINE: 31 January 2012 – please see below for details.
Special Issue Editors:
Andrea Fosfuri (Universidad Carlos III, Madrid, Spain)
Gianvito Lanzolla (Cass Business School, London, UK)
Fernando Suarez (Boston University, Boston, USA)
We are pleased to inform that our call for papers has received a very good response so far. The special issue is taking shape and already looks very promising, with confirmed contributions by Marvin Lieberman & Dave Montgomery, Will Mitchell, and Costas Markides.
Several authors have contacted us to ask for a deadline extension - initially set for 15 December 2011. Given the level of interest, we have decided to postpone the deadline to 31 January 2012. Please contact any of the editors (contact info below) for questions or information.
The study of entry timing strategies, and the related stream that focuses on first mover advantages, constitutes an established literature in strategic management research.
This literature typically considers the performance implications of entry rank order, time elapsed from first entry, or time elapsed among entry cohorts (e.g. Bohlmann, Golder and Mitra, 2002; Agarwal, Sarkar and Echambadi, 2002; Lieberman and Montgomery 1988), and analyzes the conditions under which firms are more likely to gain competitive advantages when they enter as market pioneers vis-à-vis followers (e.g. Lieberman and Montgomery, 1998; Gans and Stern, 2003; Klepper, 2002).
Scholars have used several theoretical approaches to tackle these issues. An important group of research studies, fuelled largely by researchers in the resource-based view of the firm and in industrial economics, has investigated the effect of firms' resources and capabilities on competitive advantages based on order of entry into markets. Basic "isolating mechanisms" – mechanisms through which market entry timing based advantages can be protected from imitative competition – have been identified and classified (Rumelt, 1987; Day and Freeman 1990; Golder and Tellis 1993; Kerin, Varadarajan and Peterson 1992; Lieberman and Montgomery 1988).
Technology strategy scholars have linked market entry timing to the technological characteristics of the product being introduced to the market (e.g. .g. Christensen, 1997; Tushman & Anderson, 1986; Henderson & Clack, 1990) and the stage in the technology-driven industry life cycle (e.g. Abernathy and Utterback, 1978; Henderson and Clark, 1990; Teece, 1986; Tegarden, Hatfield and Echols, 1999; Suarez and Lanzolla, 2007).
Scholars with roots in economics and sociology have associated firm entry timing strategy to the characteristics of the institutions and of the institutional context that surrounds firms at the time of entry (Geroski, 1995; Carroll, Bigelow, Seidel and Tsai, 1996). These scholars have linked market entry strategies to the degree of market efficiency/transparency (Gans and Stern, 2010), the regime of intellectual property rights (Teece, 1986), the development of technology markets (Arora, Fosfuri and Gambardella, 2001), as well as institutional pressures and bandwagon effects (Haveman, 1993; Abrahamson and Rosenkopf, 1993).
These different literature streams have contributed interesting insights on effective market entry timing strategies. Yet, we still miss a complete and coherent theory of entry timing which can provide clear guidelines on what entry timing strategies maximize the likelihood of success in a given situation. Lieberman and Montgomery (1998) argue that the inability to provide consistent guidelines on market entry timing strategies has to do not only with shortcomings in researchers' empirical methods – which are often acknowledged in the existing literature (see, for example, WanderWerf and Mahon, 1997) – but also with serious limitations in the existing theory (see also Suarez and Lanzolla, 2007: 378)
We believe that advancing our understanding of market entry timing strategies requires integrating the different disciplinary perspectives that have been advanced to date into a coherent theoretical body that can be empirically tested. For this special issue, we invite papers that build on more than one research stream to produce a fresh, more integrated theory. We welcome both pure theory manuscripts and empirical manuscripts with a significant theoretical contribution. We expect submissions to represent a wide variety of industries, technologies, and institutional contexts.
Examples of questions that we would like to see addressed include:
· Are the isolating mechanisms equally effective in different institutional contexts?
· Is there a relationship between technology life cycle, institutional context and market entry timing performance?
· Are there resources and capabilities more valuable in different institutional and technological contexts?
· How do different institutional contexts affect markets for technology and firms' entry timing decisions?
Submission deadline: 15 December 2011. EXTENDED deadline: 31 JANUARY 2012. In consideration to the level of interest for the special issue and the relatively tight original deadline, we have decided to extend the deadline for submissions. Please contact the editors as soon as possible if you plan to submit a paper by the new deadline (2012/01/31) or if you have any questions regarding your submission.
Please submit to www.elsevier.com/locate/lrp and select "SI: Entry Timing" when uploading your manuscript.
Authors of short listed papers will be invited to a developmental workshop to be held in Madrid (Spain) in the Spring 2012. Accommodations and meals will be provided by the organizers.

Warm regards,
Bernardo Ferdman, D&ITC PDW Chair, 2012 Conference
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION THEME COMMITTE (D&ITC)
The Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee (newly formed in 2010) is charged with helping to ensure that the Academy fully supports and leverages the scholarly contributions of its diverse members and contributes to their professional development. Our mission is to provide learning and outreach opportunities across the Academy of Management that foster a more diverse and inclusive community in which all members are involved in, and contribute to, the growth and success of the organization. The Committee's work is guided by the following core values and principles: 1) Diversity is all of the multiple lines of difference that characterize our current and future membership; 2) Inclusion means that all members have the opportunity to be represented, to have their voices heard and valued, and to have influence on AOM; 3) Inclusion requires identifying and removing barriers to all members' full participation in the activities and decision-making of AOM; 4) The growth and success of AOM are dependent upon having a globally diverse perspective and broadening the scope and impact of our field; and 5) AOM will be strengthened and improved to the degree that we incorporate the knowledge and perspectives of its diverse membership and constituents.
The Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) are a platform for colleagues to share knowledge and expertise and support each other's professional growth, and so provide a perfect opportunity to develop innovative and creative workshops that will benefit Academy members and further the mission of the Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee. The conference theme for 2012, The Informal Economy, reminds us that what happens in organizations extends well beyond what is formally described in organizational charts or documents. Similarly, the Academy of Management most likely has its own informal economy, one which surely has important implications for diversity and inclusion. For the D&ITC programming at the conference, we would like not only to contribute to the conference theme, but also to address the Committee's mission and to provide opportunities-through interactive workshops and/or other suitable events-to facilitate efforts to develop a more inclusive Academy. We thus encourage any PDW proposal that addresses D&ITC's central mission, in ways that support and bring life to our values and principles. We particularly welcome proposals of sessions that will attract participant interest and will be suitable for co-sponsorship with multiple divisions. In their proposals, submitters should make sure to address how they will disseminate information about their session and encourage attendance, participation, and engagement.
Some examples of the types of sessions we welcome are PDWs that:
· Seek ways to understand the current levels of inclusion and/or ways to enhance inclusion in the Academy.
· Enhance member knowledge and skills pertaining to diversity and inclusion, in their multi-faceted forms and manifestations.
· Help Academy leaders serve the diversity of member needs and backgrounds and foster more inclusion across multiple lines of diversity.
· Provide opportunities for positive and developmental interactions among members of diverse backgrounds, in ways that can lead to enhanced inclusion.
· Assist in the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and perceptions of the Academy's diverse membership.
