Track introduction

This track invites research on how a process for internal and external ideas can be most effectively set up and managed. We seek to generate new insights into why internal and external people voluntarily generate new ideas, how companies can enhance this proactive behavior through network creation, rewards and leadership, how the quality of ideas can be improved before, during, and after they are submitted, and how internal and external idea management activities can be coordinated and integrated. We encourage conceptual and empirical contributions from a wide range of social science disciplines dealing with the following topics and challenges (the list is non-exhaustive):

–     As ideas are generated in a person's spare time, in addition to the day-to-day job, there is the risk of alienating idea originators or quickly burning out their creative potential when their ideas are not managed appropriately. Thus, how can one design a sustainable idea-promotion process in which employees and company outsiders repeatedly take initiative and generate multiple ideas over time? Can learning theory and issues of attention allocation be applied to this end?

–     In the fast-paced and often bureaucratic environment of large companies, the most novel ideas often do not realize implementation. Breakthrough ideas frequently do not align with the current business strategy and leaders find it difficult to evaluate the long-term returns of particular ideas. Thus, a question is how breakthrough ideas can be spotted and protected through an idea management program?

–     A challenge regarding the management of ideas is that many people fear to share half-baked ideas with people higher in the hierarchy. As a consequence, good thoughts remain in the closet. Unfortunately this also means that other people cannot improve, use, or build on these ideas. Hence, what needs to be done to create a risk-free environment where early and informal feedback is possible?

–     Another interesting issue to explore is how organizations can combine an internal idea generation program with an external approach, such as a crowdsourcing platform. Crowdsourcing can be a good way to get input from many people about pressing social issues. But to make use of all these ideas, organizations need to review them and overcome the danger of a "not-invented-here" syndrome amongst their employees.

–     To be more specific, an important question for firms managing online communities is: how do the different motivations of community members relate to a decision to contribute (participation, a measure distinguishing contributors from non-contributors) and the quantity, quality and novelty their contributions (performance), and how do rewards affect these relations?

–     Finally, we are interested in the role of intellectual property in the process of idea exchanges. In which settings are the existence of IP rights, such as patents or copyrights beneficial when trying to identify and attain new ideas, and when are they a hindrance for idea acquisition or even commercialization?

18th Americas Conference on Information Systems

Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012

Minitrack:  Trust in Information Systems

 

Description

A user's trust and distrust in information systems are important components in the interactive relationship between users and their systems. A user has to trust a technology before the technology is adopted and fully used. While there is a rich literature on interpersonal trust, trust in information systems has been under-researched and much of what we know about trust in IS contexts is derived from the interpersonal views promulgated through the organizational behavior research. Hence, the conceptualization of trust in information systems needs to be clarified and expanded to include not only the interpersonal view but also the intermediated views that arise from considerations of the source credibility paradigm from mass communications theory. In this way, the similarities and differences between interpersonal trust and trust in information systems will be better understood. Though concepts and theoretical frameworks from prior literature on interpersonal trust have investigated trust in information systems, the components of trust that are derived from combined source and media effects in the source effects paradigm can explain much of how users interact with and come to trust technology mediated sources in eCommerce, eBusiness and personal contexts. Designing more trustworthy technology requires well-informed research, and the expansion of our understanding of the concept of trust beyond the interpersonal context, for specific use in information systems. What we learn from applying new conceptualizations of the trust construct in information systems will also lead to better understanding of adoption and use of technology-mediated channels for business and personal purposes. From this, new contextual factors can be discerned which may have important moderating effects on key technology outcomes.

We welcome the submissions addressing all aspects of trust and distrust in information systems, credibility, deception, privacy violations, and the like. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers.

Call for Short Paper Submissions 

EGOS Sub-theme: Institutional Work and the Institutionalization of Inequality

Deadline: Please submit a short paper of not more than 3,000 words (incl. references and all other materials) by January 16, 2012 at the EGOS website: http://www.egos2012.net

 

Convenors:

 Thomas B. Lawrence, Simon Fraser University, Canada (tom_lawrence@sfu.ca)

John M. Amis, University of Memphis, USA (johnamis@memphis.edu)

Kamal A. Munir, University of Cambridge (km288@hermes.cam.ac.uk)

 

Over recent years, we have seen inequities grow in many of our societal institutions, prompting debates, demonstrations, and crises, in countries around the world regarding the state of nations' governance, health care, education, and economic systems. Our aim in this sub-theme is to examine such changes and explore the roles that institutions play in shaping systems of exclusion and inequality around the world. More specifically, our focus is on the relationship between institutions, inequality and institutional work (Lawrence, Suddaby & Leca, 2009). Institutional work describes "the purposive action of individuals and organizations aimed at creating, maintaining and disrupting institutions" (Lawrence & Suddaby, 2006: 215). In keeping with the Colloquium theme of "Design?!", we are interested in exploring the roles that individual and organizational actors play in the formation, ongoing operation, and potential transformation of institutions that work to include certain groups while excluding others, reinforce unequal access to power and decision-making mechanisms, and provide freedom and wealth to some parts of society while impoverishing and constraining others.

 

We are interested in institutional work that leads, or has led, to the formation, operation, transformation, or destruction of institutions associated with a broad range of social inequalities, including, but not limited to: differential access to health care, education, housing, food, economic resources, power structures, or areas of recreation; degradation of living conditions, the environment, social structures, or relationships; and direct or indirect exploitation of groups on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic status, disability, or sexuality.

 

Submissions are encouraged across a wide range of levels of analysis: world-systems, regional or national societies, organizational fields or populations, organizations or subunits within organizations, and individuals or groups. We are especially encouraging of work than spans multiple levels of analysis, and that adopts a longitudinal view of institutions, either historically or in real time. Further, we are interested in work that seeks engagement with a wide range of theoretical and empirical approaches, including but not limited to institutional logics, practices and/or routines, feminism, critical theory, actor network theory, sensemaking, semiotics, network analyses, discourse analyses, and action research approaches. We equally welcome case studies, comparative research projects, ethnographies, survey-based work, large statistical analyses, and conceptual pieces.

28^th EGOS Colloquium, July 5-7, 2012

Aalto University and Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki, Finland

Sub-theme: Risks of Organizing and Organizing of Risks

 

Organizers:

Steve Maguire (Director, Marcel Desautels Institute for Integrated Management & Associate Professor of Strategy and Organization, Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University): steve.maguire@mcgill.ca

Nelson Phillips (Chair in Strategy & Organizational Behaviour, Imperial College London Business School): n.phillips@imperial.ac.uk

Dror Etzion (Assistant Professor of Strategy & Organization, Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University): dror.etzion@mcgill.ca

Are organizations, through their choices of technologies, products and processes, risky by design? How can organizations and institutions be designed to effectively assess, manage and govern risks? Papers in this stream will address these and related questions by focusing on the complex relationship between risk and organizing.

 

Risk and its management are increasingly prominent features of organizations and their environments. Outside the organization, risk discourse frames a long heterogeneous list of societal concerns in which organizations are implicated, including global pandemics; terrorism; food shortages; financial instability; chemical contamination; and climate change among others. Theorizing of risks by scientists not only fuels this process but has also given rise to a well developed discipline, "risk analysis", that has applied this body of knowledge to a remarkable diversity of social contexts. Consequently, a notable "turn to risk" (Mythen, 2008) is evident in sociology, economics, anthropology and political science as scholars seek to understand our contemporary "risk society" (Beck, 1992). Understanding the cultures (Douglas & Wildavsky, 1982; Douglas, 1992) and systems of governmentality (Foucault, 1991) through which organizations operate requires scholarly engagement with risk.

 

With the emergence of our "risk society", organizations are not only seen as producers of risks borne by other actors, but they have also become bearers of regulatory, legal, and reputational risks as governments and other stakeholders increasingly target them in their efforts to manage the risks inherent in organizing. Indeed, inside the organization, the discourse of risk and its management has become a source of principles for organizing and managing in general, with important implications for how organizations are represented, managed and governed, as well as for how they respond to actors in their environment (Power, 2007). This has led to novel species of risk (e.g. operational, reputational); the rise of programmes such as Enterprise Risk Management; and new organizational roles such as the Chief Risk Officer. No longer the sole purview of those working in finance and insurance, issues of risk and its management increasingly inform managerial decision making in all sectors of the economy. In fact, "ideas about risk and risk management have come to play a key role in the very idea of organizing and organization itself" (Scheytt, Soin, Sahlin-Andersson & Power, 2006: 1336).

 

Despite these developments, risk remains "an important but under-investigated feature of organizations in Late Modernity" (Gephardt, Van Maanen & Oberlechner, 2009: 141). Papers in this stream will address this gap, exploring and illuminating the multiple connections between organizing and risk. We are interested in papers that examine any aspect of risk in and around organizations. As issues of risk often cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries, we welcome papers that draw on multiple perspectives, including organization theory, strategy, accounting, economics, and marketing.

 

Specifically, we invite contributions that explore themes such as:

 

Risk and Organizational Environments: Industries, Institutions and Stakeholders

·                                 Institutional design for societal risk management

·                                 The role of risk in institutional change

·                                 The role of risk in technological and industrial evolution

·                                 Risk and involuntary stakeholders

·                                 Risk regulation and its consequences for organizations

·                                 Risk discourse and its consequences for organizations

 

Risk and Organizations: Organizing and Managing Risk

·         Organizational design for risk management, including risk metrics

·         Organizational processes of risk assessment and management

·         Risk and organizational sense-making; risk and decision-making

·         Risk, uncertainty and theories of organization-environment relations

·         Risk and stakeholder theory

·         Risk and theories of organizations and the natural environment

·         Risk and innovation; risk and technological design

 

Risk and Individuals: Enacting Risk

·                                 Risk and power relations

·                                 Risk and trust

·                                 Risk and identity

Job Positions

--------------------------------------------------------

 

Three Postdoc positions for research on "Sustainable Innovation"

The Rotterdam School of Management (RSM), Erasmus University, invites applications for three postdoc positions within a two year sustainability research project "Sustainable innovation: How to translate sustainability strategies into successful innovation?" The project team is comprised of Professor Jan van den Ende (project leader), Professor Gail

Whiteman, Dr. Daan Stam and Dr. Serge Rijsdijk.

 

In this project we investigate which innovation processes are appropriate to develop innovations that are successful from a commercial and sustainability perspective.Innovation processes include both firm-internal processes and collaboration with external stakeholders and knowledge networks. The overall research project is divided into three interdependent postdoc projects of 21 months each.

 

Sub project 1: Case Studies on the Innovation Processes of Sustainable New Product

Development

In this project, the research objective is to gather detailed, exploratory case study data across companies on the following general research questions: What organizational (and inter-firm) processes trigger, enable and create barriers for sustainable and commercially viable new product innovation? How does the goal of sustainability affect inter-firm relationships regarding innovation processes at the industry and national (macro) level? The postdoc will investigate 4-6 cases drawn from our collaborating corporate partners, including cases which are perceived to be 'successful' and 'nonsuccessful'

by company insiders. This position has the following deliverables: case study

write up for each company, co-authorship of 1-2 academic papers, 1-2 teaching cases.

 

Applicants should have (or must be near to completion of) a Ph.D. in Business

Administration or the Social Sciences. Candidates also need to have demonstrated a potential for excellence in qualitative research and the case study method. For this project, contact person is Professor Gail Whiteman, ECORYS NEI Professor of

Sustainability and Climate Change (gwhiteman@rsm.nl). Preferred start date of this project is January 1, 2012.

 

Sub project 2: Front end process: Idea generation for sustainable innovation

This subproject focuses on the use of idea generation, selection, and development processes for innovation towards sustainability purposes. The major problem in sustainable innovation is that the sustainable nature of ideas may (but not necessarily does) hurt commercial viability of the ideas. The general question in this research is therefore: How can companies generate, improve and select ideas that are sustainable AND commercially viable?

 

Potentially important issues to investigate are the effects of individual differences, environmental cues, and their interaction on sustainable idea

generation, selection, and development. This program will adopt experimental methods to investigate these issues. One of the goals of this research is to publish one or more papers in A-level academic journals.

 

Applicants should have (or must be near to completion of) a Ph.D. in Business

Administration or the Social Sciences. Candidates also need to have demonstrated a potential for excellence in (experimental) research. For this project, contact person is Daan Stam, Assistant professor of Innovation Management (dstam@rsm.nl). Preferred start date of this project is April 1, 2012.

 

Sub project 3: Development process: Managerial guidance and knowledge

management in sustainable innovation

This project focuses on knowledge acquisition processes for sustainable innovation and the influence of alternative means of guidance thereon. The research questions that this project aims to address are: What are the effects of different types of managerial guidance on knowledge management processes within sustainable innovation projects?

 

How do these effects depend on the extent to which a firm is knowledgeable on

sustainable innovation? How do knowledge management processes affect commercial and sustainability performance? One of the goals of this research is to publish one or more papers in A-level academic journals and practitioner oriented journals of a similar standing.

 

Applicants should have (or must be near to completion of) a Ph.D. in Business

Administration, Industrial (Design) Engineering or the Social Sciences. Candidates also need to have demonstrated a potential for excellence in (experimental and/or survey) research. For this project, the contact person is Serge Rijsdijk, Assistant professor of Innovation Management (srijsdijk@rsm.nl or +31 10 408 2541). Preferred start date of this project is April 1, 2012.

 

Base salaries for postdocs are in the range of €46250 - €55000 per annum depending on qualifications with attractive benefits such as a contribution to moving costs, attractive health care premiums, reimbursement of home Internet connection, and commuting allowance. Substantial tax benefits apply to non-Dutch citizens, conditional on permission granted by the Dutch Tax Office.
