Abstract:
The 21st century poses major challenges to protect and enhance the quality of life, economic wealth and social stability. It is deemed that advances in emergent-technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, information & communication technologies and green engineering offer opportunities to address acute challenges in areas such as health, energy, environment, agriculture, transport, security and Education. While the enablers of emerging technologies have mainly been studied from technological innovations viewpoint, it is not clear what role non- technical factors play in the efficient management of emerging technologies. In this regard, this track seeks to explore and advance understanding of the relationships between organizational, management and technological innovation in the context of emerging technologies.
We are interested in both conceptual and empirical studies as well as the application of a variety of theoretical perspectives, yet with the emphasis on non-technical drivers that shape the development of emergent technologies. Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this track are:
- The relationship between technological, organizational and management innovation;
- New organizational structures, processes and business models in emerging technologies;
- Absorptive and transformative capacity to manage emergent technologies;
- Entrepreneurial and managerial agency in the context of emergent technologies;
- Impact of emergent technologies on established industrial networks;
- Impact of social networks on emerging technologies;
- Impact of social media on emerging technologies;
- Knowledge and learning issues in the management of emerging technologies;
- Institutional factors that shape technology policy.
Keywords: emerging technologies, management, innovation

California Management Review
Editor: Prof. David Vogel, CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue
Achieving Strategic Agility in Hypercompetitive Environments
Guest Editors:
Prof. Yaakov Weber, Chair, Strategy and Entrepreneurship Department, School of Business Administration, College of Management, Israel
Dr. Shlomo Yedidia, School of Business Administration, College of Management, Israel
The competitive landscape has been shifting in recent years more than ever. Globalization, rapid technological changes, codification of knowledge, the Internet, talent and employee mobility, increased rates of knowledge transfer, imitation, changes in customer tastes, the obsolescence of products and business models – have all caused a turbulent environment and accelerated changes and disruptions. These trends are expected to continue in the future, producing ever more rapid and unpredictable changes. Current concepts such as sustained competitive advantage, resource-based view, and strategic planning have been deemed vague, tautological, and inadequate for companies to cope with the rate and complexity of environmental and market changes (e.g., Kraaijenbrink, Spender and Groen, 2010; Lado, Boyd, Wright and Kroll, 2006).
In a chaotic environment in which markets emerge, collide, split, evolve, and die one of the primary determinants of a firm's success is strategic agility, the ability to remain flexible in facing new developments, to continuously adjust the company's strategic direction, and to develop innovative ways to create value. There is a tension between formal processes of strategic planning that require strategic commitments for a course of action and opportunistic strategic agility. Strategic planning has been criticized for preparing plans for tomorrow based on yesterday's actions, concepts, and tools. Although strategic planning can help in specific situations, it usually creates an inertia that prevents fast adaptation when circumstances change or market discontinuities occur. Strategic agility requires inventing new business models and new categories rather than rearranging old products and categories. To cope with growing strategic discontinuities and disruptions, scholars have suggested the creation of strategically agile companies, including new ways for managing business transformation and renewal, developing dynamic capabilities, creating imitation abilities, maintain a high level of organizational flexibility, developing learning and knowledge transfer skills, using adaptive corporate culture, optimizing human resource scalability, and more (e.g., Doz and Kosonen, 2010; Dyer and Ericksen, 2005; Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000; Shenkar, 2010a; Weber, Tarba, and Reichel, 2011; Wilson and Doz, 2011).
The goal of this special issue is to stimulate authors to redefine the spectrum of means and processes available to create and use strategic agility. The issue challenges authors to provide the frameworks that managers can use to integrate, develop, and reconfigure competences and resources required to deal with hypercompetitive markets. Given markets discontinuities and the rapidly increasing pace of change, companies need new and agile paradigms.
We invite papers that focus on strategic agility in both the national and international arenas. We encourage contributions that address but are not limited to the following topics:
§ What are the origins, components, and outcomes of strategic agility?
§ What are the roles of early warning systems, communication, learning, scanning, knowledge transfer, training, managerial rotation, and rewarding in the development of strategically agile companies?
§ What is the relationship between strategic agility on one hand and organizational flexibility, modular organizational forms, conflicts and confrontations, dynamic capabilities (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000), imitation (Shenkar, 2010b), cultural characteristics (Weber, Tarba, and Reichel, 2011), human resource management (Shafer, Dyer, Kilty, Amos, and Ericksen, 2001) and other existing and emerging concepts?
§ What insights can perspectives from strategy, economics, organizational behavior, international management, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines provide into the nature, antecedents, processes, and effects of strategic agility?
§ Do strategic sensitivity and resource fluidity (Doz and Kosonen, 2008; 2010) create only a temporary advantage or can they improve performance in both short and the long term?
§ What is the role of strategic agility in mergers and acquisitions, given their high failure rate? For example, what is the importance of strategic agility components at the pre-merger planning stage (e.g., due diligence, scanning, and screening), the negotiation stage (Weber, Belkin, and Tarba, 2011), and during post-merger integration? What is the effect of various practices (communication, training) within the context of different national cultures (Weber, Rachman-Moore, and Tarba, 2011), and of integration approaches such as symbiosis (Weber, Tarba, and Rozen Bachar, 2011) and hybrid integration (Schweizer, 2005) on strategic agility?
§ What are the profiles of strategically agile multinational corporations?
§ Do changes in partners' resources and capabilities cause loss of flexibility to joint ventures, resulting in a high rate of failure? When and how should new modular organization forms be applied in the creation of strategic alliances?
§ When should management embrace intuitive, improvisational, and action-oriented forms of decision making for the sake of effectiveness?
Please bear in mind that CMR publishes primarily original articles that are research based and address issues of current concern to managers.
