My apologies for cross-postings
Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC) 2012 Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland, June9-12, 2012, Submissions due February 8, 2012
Dear Colleagues,
Preparation for the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC) 2012 Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland is well under way. (http://www.busi.mun.ca/asac2012)
We invite scholars and doctoral students to submit empirical and theoretical papers or symposia to the Strategy Division, in English or French. The research should focus on Business Policy and Strategy and other related disciplines. It could employ a variety of methodologies from statistical, simulation, mathematical modeling to case studies, and using multiple level of analysis including the firm, industry and country.
Please find [below]the Strategy Division call for papers and the typing style guide for the ASAC 2012 conference, to be held on June 9-2, 2012. The deadline for submission is February 8th 2012. Please do forward this call for papers to your students and other interested colleagues. I look forward to the submission of your paper.
As Academic Reviewer for the Strategy Division, I would be honoured if you would agree to serve as a Reviewer for our division. Reviewers will examine one to two manuscripts between February 18th and March 15th, 2012. Within this relatively short time to review submissions, Reviewers must be able to analyze the quality of the manuscripts they receive and send reviews back by March 15th, 2012.
[Please see further information under Participants in this Newsletter.]
ASAC 2012 is hosted by the Faculty of Business Administration at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's and the conference will be held at the Delta Hotel and Convention Centre. The conference location, Newfoundland and Labrador, has a rich history of exploration. It is not surprising that Newfoundland (as the name implies (New Found Land)) was among the first places to be visited by European explorers over 500 years ago as well as by the Vikings near 1000AD. Our conference theme, Exploring the New World of Work, builds on our exploration heritage and is appropriate given the demographic, technological, ethical, cross-cultural and legal changes occurring in modern organizations. We invite you to join us in St. John's to dialogue, debate, and ponder the New World of Work, with your colleagues in a stimulating and congenial setting. We are certain that the natural beauty of the City, and its rich cultural heritage, will provide a vibrant backdrop for this conference.
We look forward to see you there! More information could be found on the conference website at http://www.busi.mun.ca/asac2012.

The 39th OBTC Teaching Conference for Management Educators
June 20-23, 2012 – Brock University https://obtc.org
Submission Date 15 December 2011
Conference Theme
Sustainability:
Sustaining Ourselves, Students, Community, and Global World
When we speak of sustainability, we often think of "green" or the environment these days, but truthfully, sustainability is all around us and impacts us daily at multiple levels, so much so that we often are not mindful of it when we act. If innovation fuels our fire, then sustainability ensures that fire continues to burn. How often do we engage in a new venture only to find that it is short-lived and its full potential is not achievable? In times of economic downturns and turbulence, we need to ask ourselves at what cost do we try to maintain our way of life? We as educators need to continuously ask ourselves how is it possible to sustain our passion for learning and teaching when a new idea can get old pretty quickly? How can we sustain our enthusiasm for teaching when we are bombarded with potential constraints or obstacles? Often the concept of sustainability goes unrecognized and untapped, due to our own oversight or lack of deep thinking. In this conference, we encourage participants to engage in an ongoing dialogue that has the potential to allow each of us to exchange new ideas, approaches, awareness, and practices to enhance our lives and our work.
A few of the possible areas we might explore are:
How can we sustain our passion for teaching, given external constraints and obstacles?
How can we sustain our enthusiasm for helping our students, given their changing needs and our changing demographics?
How can we sustain our educational pedagogue (e.g., active learning, experiential learning) when alternative educational models (e.g., distance learning) move away from traditional classroom learning?
As we find ourselves at different career stages, what do we need to do and who do we need to be as professionals to sustain us in our engagement?
How can we effectively sustain our learning relationships in communities, given our diversity?
What can we do to ensure our continued interaction of our local communities to enhance our students' learning, when their existence might be threatened?
How can we help students to sustain their passion for learning beyond our classroom?
How can we ensure that we can sustain our global connectedness and collaboration when potential human conflicts increase uncertainties?
How can we sustain quality of our educational programs or institutions given potential budget reductions during our economic downturns?
These are only a few thoughts to stimulate sessions, but feel free to be creative and thoughtful about ways in which we can be open to areas yet unexplored by this conference or our field.
In alignment with the culture of the OBTC, we aspire to create a sense of ongoing community and caring as we share our best with each other, not only at the conference, but throughout the year as we stay in touch and depend on each other for support, advice, and friendship.
Conference Site
Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada and the Faculties of Applied Health Sciences and Business are pleased to host the 2012 Organizational Behavior Teaching Conference (OBTC) June, 2012. We recognize the importance of superior conference facilities for OBTS members and are committed to providing quality accommodations, food services, and event logistics for all OBTC delegates. In addition, we are excited to showcase Brock's programs and facilities to a national and international audience of management educators.
Brock University is well equipped, ready, and eager to host OBTC in June 2012. With over 17,000 full-time students and nearly 600 faculty, we're small enough to be intimate, big enough to be world-class and in demand among international students. In addition, Brock University is known for its commitment to teaching and learning from both sides of the brain! Our campus and conference facilities are numerous, enabling all conference activities and accommodations to be located on site. In addition, Brock University is located in the Niagara Region, which is a premier tourism destination in Canada with an abundance of exciting attractions to ensure an enjoyable visit. The region has established a long history of meeting tourist and conference delegates' needs. Our university is 1.5 hours from the Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario and one hour (and a border crossing) away from the Buffalo International Airport. We're easy to get to and worth the travel for the 2012 OBTC.
For OBTC 2012, our intention is to develop a quality conference for all delegates and to share with them Niagara's cultural, environmental, recreational, and social gems including Niagara Falls and of course, our numerous award winning wineries! We will also endeavor to protect the natural environment during the hosting of OBTC 2012. Brock is located in a park-like setting atop the Niagara Escarpment and is the only Canadian university that is part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. As such, we will take every effort to ensure the natural environment is safeguarded for sustained use by the next generation. Every attempt to "green" OBTC 2012 and minimize waste and material use (i.e., use either reusable or biodegradable materials) will be implemented. Put OBTC at Brock University in your calendar for June 20-23, 2012!
Conference Submissions
Conference submissions (up to 5 pages, .doc or .docx format) should be uploaded to the central submission website (https://obtc.org) by the December 15, 2011, priority deadline. Acceptance notifications will be sent by February 15, 2012.

Track Introduction
The term business model is often defined in the way how money is made (Christensen 2000; Gilbert 2001), how it is competed (Charitou/Markides 2003) and how the elements of 'who', 'what', 'when', 'why', 'where', 'how' and 'how much' are involved in providing customers and end users with products and services (Mitchel/Coles 2004). The building blocks here according to Osterwalder (2007) are customer segments, value proposition, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships and cost structure.
The proposed track is focused on (but not restricted to) the following research questions:
What are the main drivers of business model innovations?
What determines successful pioneer and follower strategies with business model innovations?
What is the role of knowledge management (especially learning and unlearning) in the capability to identify the need to business model innovation?
How can a transformation of the existing business model be organized to lead companies to success?
What are firm specific success factors for either creating or adopting innovative business models successfully?
How can business model innovations be categorized and which types can be found in practice?
How can managerial misconceptions and malpractices be possibly replaced?
How practical insights generated by the exercise of solving organisational and managerial problems could be conceptualised and epistemologically validated as constituents of theories-in-use?
To what extent arise business model innovations from emerging market?
How do open innovation, innovation culture and not-invented-here-syndrome in the context of business model innovation?
How does the involvement of stakeholders influence the process of creating business model transformation and innovation?
What describes the process of business model transformation?
Conceptual contributions, literature reviews, case studies, comparative and empirical analyses are encouraged, in form of either full research papers or research-in-progress.
