The Tilburg Conference on Innovation: Recombining Innovation Research

June 15-17, 2012, Center for Innovation Research (CIR) Tilburg University, The Netherlands. Please submit a full paper to cir@uvt.nl by February 15, 2012.

Innovation is a highly complex process in which managers juggle technical, organizational, economic, social, and psychological aspects, each having distinct effects on innovation inputs, processes, and outcomes. All these aspects are contingent on time and space and affect the innovation process and outcomes at multiple levels. Due to this diversity of factors and contingencies the field of innovation research is populated by scholars from many disciplines studying a wide range of questions. While this richness is an asset, it can also result in fragmentation and losing "the big picture" about how innovation unfolds in and around organizations. Together, we will aim to build bridges between the various subfields, topics and disciplines, with quality of research being the predominant goal.

Following the highly successful conference held in 2010, the second international Conference of the Center for Innovation Research at Tilburg University will bring together exemplary scholars who study how innovation relates with the strategy, organization, learning and performance of corporate and other entities. We are open to a variety of theoretical perspectives and welcome papers that incorporate various levels that can affect innovation

– e.g. nations, sectors, networks, clusters, single organizations, business units, teams or individuals – as long as the papers recognize and contribute to the understanding of innovation as an organizational phenomenon. We are looking mainly for empirical papers, but strong, forward-looking theoretical contributions are also welcome. Please join us for two days of intensive discussion and dialogue in the lush atmosphere of "De Rosep" resort.

The conference will take place at the Rosep Resort that also offers ample possibility for accommodation. We encourage all conference participants to stay at the conference venue due to co-location benefits and scarcity of alternative hotels nearby. An added attraction of the conference is the opportunity to visit the southern Netherlands in spring and sample the best local beers Belgium and the Netherlands have to offer. For all conference information, see the conference website:

www.tilburguniversity.edu/research/institutes-and-research-groups/cir/conferences/june2012

Confirmed speakers/special guests include:

Dan Levinthal, Will Mitchell, Andrew van de Ven, Joe Lampel,

Hayagreeva Rao, Claudia Bird Schoonhoven

Submission process:

Please submit a full paper to cir@uvt.nl by February 15, 2012.

The authors of selected papers will be notified by March 30, 2012.

NINTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE

ATLANTA COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE CONFERENCE (ACAC)

May 15 to 17, 2012

http://robinson.gsu.edu/acac/

REMINDER FOR "CALL FOR PAPERS" – DEADLINE APPROACHING

MONDAY February 13th

- The DEADLINE for submissions is Monday February 13, 2012.

The aim of this annual conference is to improve our ability to answer these "big picture" questions and other related questions of corporate strategy, entrepreneurial strategy, and international strategy, by bringing together some of the world's top researchers on competitive advantage for three days each year in Atlanta.

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.

The conference organizers invite the submission of unpublished working papers that advance the state of knowledge about competitive advantage

addressing the "big picture" questions posed above. We are especially interested in increasing the number of submissions that address research questions about competitive advantage in the special contexts of

entrepreneurship and international business.

Conference registration fee will be WAIVED for up to two authors of accepted papers.

Up to two authors of accepted papers will also receive catered meals and deeply discounted hotel rates, but will be expected to pay for their own hotel,

airfare, & other travel expenses.

The Conference Registration Fee is $280 and covering conference expenses including meals, receptions and refreshment breaks from lunch Tuesday through lunch Thursday, as well as motor coach transportation

to and from Emory Univeristy on Tuesday evening.

Submitted papers will undergo a selection process, NOT a formal review process – so we will not provide reviews or other feedback on any submitted manuscript.

Submitting a paper represents a commitment that at least one of the authors will attend and participate in whatever session the paper gets scheduled for, whenever during the conference that session is scheduled. Authors who commit to attend and participate but then fail to do so, for any reason other than an immediate genuine emergency, may be excluded from participation in future ACAC meetings.

- In addition to regular paper-presentation sessions, authors may also choose to allow their submitted papers to be considered for two other alternative session formats:

1.) A small percentage of papers will be selected for high-profile visual presentation session, similar to a "SMS-style" poster session, (held at the time and place where refreshments are being served, in order to maximize audience size),

2.) A research-development workshop session (where authors will provide feedback to each other on their papers in small groups, under the guidance of experienced researchers serving as group facilitators). (This workshop may be expanded under a grant request currently pending at NSF. Please watch for further announcements on the ACAC website and via listserv prior to the submission deadline).

- Papers must be submitted via the ACAC 2012 submission system using the link below (please copy and paste one of the following links into your browser):

http://robinson.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_efdHmlPPpbdY06w

Hello,

South Asian Journal of Global Business Research (SAJGBR) is looking for papers for a Special Issue on Base of the Pyramid. Please see additional information below.

My apologies for any cross-postings.

Call for Papers- Special Issue of the South Asian Journal of Global Business Research

Fortune at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) Revisited

Full Paper deadline (8000 words) via Scholar One to SAJGBR: March 30, 2012.

After screening by the special issue editors, these papers will be double blind reviewed before being accepted for publication.

Bottom (base) of the Pyramid concept has a long history. The term was first coined by the US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a radio address in 1932.

However the concept was popularized in the business literature by C.K. Prahalad much more recently. Since then, study of BoP has captured attention of practitioners and scholars alike (Gollakota, Gupta, and Bork, 2010, Karamchandani, Kubzansky and Lalwani, 2011; Olsen and Boxenbaum, 2009); and four approaches have emerged for strategizing about the BoP.

Fortune Finding: Prahalad and Hamel (1990) underlined the scale of the world population not included in the global markets, and the potential of fortune-finding by catering to the common needs of this poorest population, by providing low-cost products and extending distribution reach.

Fortune Creating: London and Hart (2011) postulate that the next generation of BoP business strategies require a shift to "fortune creating" with the four billion consumers, producers, and entrepreneurs who make up the poorest population of the world, so that viable and scale ventures may be designed.

Fortune Sharing: Some social entrepreneurship scholars based in the industrialized markets contend the need for the corporations to approach the BoP with a corporate social responsibility mindset, and commit to sharing their wealth with the BoP, rather than seeking to create wealth off or through the BoP (Berkman, 2010; Davidson, 2009).

Fortune Stealing: Some social activists based in the emerging markets maintain that the multinational corporations have been all too enthusiastic to take off with the technological fortune that belongs to the communities in which the poor people have lived for generations, without giving any credit or compensation (for example, see Shiva, 2011).

Besides understanding and contrasting these approaches, there is also a need to re-examine the concept of the Base of the Pyramid. While in economic terms, the world's low-income communities may be at the Base of the Pyramid, in human terms, many low-income communities are known for their hospitality and helping spirit and thus perhaps could be at the Top of the Pyramid (Gupta, 2011; Leisinger, 2007; Rashid and Rahman, 2009). In the informal economy of these communities, the concrete local social context of the humans may matter more than the abstract global economic context of the corporations. Thus, as we democratize and decentralize the discourse by giving voice to the "BoP" communities that have been disconnected from the mainstream global markets, there may be a need to reframe our language.

We propose the concept of Extensional Technological Growth (ETG) as a heuristic for strategies involving the disconnected communities. We observe that a flip side of the weak linkages of the low-income communities with the global markets has been the preservation of the uniqueness of the technological base of the people in these communities (Gupta, 2008). This people's technological base is generally locally efficient, relying on the complementarity of the locally available and distributed resources (Cooke, 2006). In several nations, efforts are beginning to be made to connect alternative and diverse technological bases across multiple community groups and construct innovative, scalable, and disproportionately proficient technological base (Gupta, 2011). These efforts have a potential to generate extensional technological growth (ETG), connecting beyond the mainstream boundaries and channels for augmenting technological capabilities.

Issues related to disconnected communities are particularly relevant for emerging economies of South Asia[1], where 25% of the population currently lives under poverty levels. As South Asia is estimated to provide 30-32% of the increment to the world population into 2050 (World Bank, 2011), as per the traditional understanding of BoP, there is going to be even a greater expansion of the BoP in the region (Khilji, 2011). For the special issue of the South Asian Journal of Global Business Research, we invite papers situated in or inspired by the South Asian context, and that explore theoretical and empirical aspects of topics such as:

1) Could there be alternative approaches to BoP as popularized by Prahalad? What would the theoretical and practical underpinnings of these approaches?

2) Is economic wealth really the right perspective to define the base in the BoP? What other perspectives could be used?

3) How do we engage these disconnected and forgotten communities and what can we learn from them? What approaches, strategies and practices are emerging from these communities that would further our understanding of leadership, management, innovation etc.?

4) Can social learning and critical theory (and other theories) be used to explain possible strengths of the BoP?

5) How to improve the ETG ecosystem- nonprofits forming alliances with business vs. nonprofits as mediators between business and people groups;

6) How to develop the ETG market – seeding and base-building for marketing to the BoP vs. manufacturing for low cost in the BoP vs. pursing ETG with the BoP;

7) How to leverage the ETG for global markets – green leap of small footprint innovations designed for the BoP vs. buyback of green solutions designed using ETG know-how for the global markets;

8) How to account for the ETG -- corporate social charity given to the BoP (cost-center) vs. sustainable distributed gain sharing with those contributing to ETG (profit center);

9) How to fund the ETG business ventures – philanthro-captialists offering patient capital to the central actors vs. microcredit federations offering fast circulation capital to decentralized actors;

10) Two sides of the ETG entrepreneurship – promoting consumption through marketing initiatives vs. promoting investment through multiplex linkages in the low-income communities

11) How to design the ETG ventures – for economies of scale through connectivity with the global economic context vs. for economies of choice through sensitivity to the local social context.

We are hoping to use a new lens on the BoP in order to allow us to be more creative and think differently, hence we encourage submissions beyond these questions, as long as these contribute to advancing research, policy and practice related to BoP and ETG. We welcome submission from all business or related disciplines, and are open to multi-disciplinary approaches.

Deadline:

Full Paper deadline (8000 words) via Scholar One to SAJGBR: March 30, 2012. After screening by the special issue editors, these papers will be double blind reviewed before being accepted for publication.
