Publish or Perish: Academic Life in American Business Schools
Caucus
Academy of Management 2007 Annual Meeting, Philadelphia, PA
Monday, August 6, 2007, 2:30-3:50 p.m., Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 106A
Colleagues,
Alan N. Miller (University of Nevada, Las Vegas) and Mark de Rond (Cambridge University) have organized this Caucus to provide an opportunity for Academy members to reflect on, discuss, and debate the pressure to publish which has increased dramatically at many American and European business schools. Given the pervasiveness of the publish or perish ethos, we expect a lively and instructive discussion among the participants. The following questions will provide a platform for discussion: (1) Is it appropriate to pressure faculty to publish? (2) If there were no pressure to publish, would faculty publish less? (3) Does pressure to publish impede faculty from doing creative research? (4) Does pressure to publish impede faculty from using methodologies that do not conform to dominant research paradigms? (5) Does pressure to publish detract from teaching? (6) What are the consequences of the pressure to publish on faculty research productivity, job satisfaction, and job related stress? (7) How frequently, if at all, do faculty at business schools with strong publish or perish traditions feel pressure to compromise their ideals and/or integrity so as to publish manuscripts? (8) What role should publications in peer reviewed journals play in recruitment, tenure, and promotion of business school faculty?
If time permits in your schedule, please join us.

Technology, Innovation, and New Venturing
Tuesday, Aug 7 2007 2:30PM - 3:50PM at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:city></st1:place> Marriott in Room 303
Lynda Aiman-Smith, NCSU, invites you to discuss innovation and Incubators as Interpretive Spaces for Innovation, an empirical analysis discovering how incubators, as interpretive spaces, enable the speed and mastery of technology integration within new technology based ventures. Taking innovation to academic backyards, we will explore Organizational Vicarious Learning and International Patterns in University Start-ups to explore some of the potential unintended outcomes of well-intentioned programs to promote University linked new firms. Championship Behaviors and Innovation Success: An Empirical Investigation of University Spin-Offs exploring behaviors champions actually engage in and Technological Diversification, Cumulativeness and Venture Capital Exit: M&A versus IPO suggest that the degree of technological diversification will affect a venture capital firm in a young technology firm and merger or acquisition (M&A) as opposed to taking it public through an IPO.

PDW on International Collaboration AOM 2007
Saturday, 4th Aug 2007 8:00AM - 10:00AM at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Pennsylvania</st1:state></st1:place> Convention Center in Room 104A
Towards an International Community of Careers Scholars: Notes from the Field
International Career Community
Organizers Julia Richardson; York U., Darlene Alexander-Houle; U. of Phoenix; and Joy Schneer; Rider U. seeks to support the internationalization of careers research by encouraging a truly international community of careers scholars who span worldwide regions to share success and tribulations of work and research outside a home country. Presenters will include Wolfgang Mayrhofer; Wirtschafts U. Wien; Jon P. Briscoe; Northern Illinois U.; Douglas T. Hall; Boston U.; Yehuda Baruch; U. of East Anglia; Irene Hau-siu Chow; Chinese U. of Hong Kong; Jean-Luc Cerdin; ESSEC Business School; Miguel R. Olivas-Lujan , Clarion U.; and Silvia Inés Monserrat Lluna, Tandil Argentina.
This PDW shares the study of careers with a growing number of projects exploring career contexts outside the Western world and English-Speaking countries. One way to achieve this aim is for scholars to engage in international collaboration. Yet, such an initiative may present significant challenges such as finding potential research partners and overcoming logistical barriers. Another way is for scholars to conduct research projects outside their own home countries. Yet, this initiative also presents significant challenges such as understanding host country research protocols, linguistic barriers and managing responsibilities to respective stakeholders. Drawing on the experiences of established scholars who have engaged in international collaboration and/or conducted research outside their home countries, this PDW is divided into two parts. In the first part of the workshop, members of two international collaborative projects will present their experiences and insights. Two researchers who have engaged in cross-cultural projects will then offer an insight into their experiences, detailing practical and theoretical challenges.
The second part of the workshop will operate as an incubator by encouraging participants to map out their prospective opportunities for international collaboration. It will especially seek to connect participants wishing to start up their own international collaboration projects. Participants will also be encouraged to map out their own ideas for cross-cultural research.

<st1:placename w:st="on">Suffolk</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype>, <st1:placename w:st="on">Sawyer</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Business</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Boston</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Massachusetts</st1:state>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region></st1:place> June 25 - 27 2008
This conference focuses on how multi-organizational partnerships, alliances or networks serve as vehicles for innovation and change. What are the strategies, structures and processes by which multiple parties collaborate to co-create new products, services or organizational practices? How can collaborative partners align their strategies, structures and practices to foster productive innovation? What are the change processes as well as the creative processes that are either planned or emergent during the processes of collaboration and how do they impact the outcomes of collaborative innovation? How do 20 different stakeholders (e.g. innovation suppliers, change agents, client or user organizations, occupational or user communities, and governmental or non-profit interest groups and organizations) influence the strategies, structures, and processes of collaborative innovation and change?
About MOPAN
The Multi-Organizational Partnerships, Alliances, and Networks (MOPAN) aim is to advance the understanding of the nature of multi-organizational partnerships, alliances and networks by providing an international platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences and methodologies. The conference is concerned with multi-organizational relationships within and across all sectors, including, for example, service delivery partnerships, social issue partnerships, community collaborations, strategic alliances, joint ventures, co-operative strategy, industry networks, public private partnerships, supply chain relationships and so on. We recognize that these multi-organizational forms are researched within a variety of disciplines and from a wide range of theoretical bases and we actively seek cross-fertilization from diverse contributions. Ultimately, the aim of this conference series is to develop insights that may be useful to those who endeavor to make multi-organizational partnerships and alliances work in practice. The conference series has also been designed to develop and maintain a network of researchers and practitioners interested in rigorous research in this area.

ICAN CONFERENCE 2007
<st1:place w:st="on">Mission</st1:place> Control: Power, Knowledge and Collaboration in Project Practice.
<st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city> - <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>: November 29th and 30th, 2007
Please find below details of a forthcoming conference entitled "Mission Control: Power, Knowledge and Collaboration in Project Practice", which will take place on 29-30th November 2007 at the University of Technology, Sydney, hosted by the ICAN research centre.
The conference will address the central issue of power and control within the practice of managing projects and will consider implications for the possibility of knowledge transfer, collaboration and innovation in project environments. More broadly, we welcome research on projects and project management which draw upon the growing literature on projects and project environments across management disciplines and incorporates understandings of previously neglected aspects of project work, including culture, innovation and creativity, politics, professionalism, ethics and fairness in project environments. We will especially welcome papers which examine diverse forms of project control, including both direct controls through the enforcement of project management methodologies, standard operating procedures, contractual relations and key performance indicators, and indirectly through training and organizational development, professional ethics, knowledge, and culture management.
Keynote presentations will be delivered by Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, author of "Megaprojects and Risk: An Anatomy of Ambition" (Cambridge University Press, 2003), "Making Social Science Matter" (Cambridge University Press, 2001), and "Rationality and Power: Democracy in Practice" (The University of Chicago Press, 1998), and Peter Andrew of international design consultancy DEGW.
A full call for papers can be found at
http://www.ican.uts.edu.au/conferences/ICAN07.html, and the deadline for extended abstracts is 1st September 2007.

The new issues of Design Research Quarterly is about to appear.
This issue features an important article by Linda Drew titled "Designing the Interface Between Research, Learning and Teaching."
DRQ is both a quarterly peer-reviewed journal and a membership bulletin distributed to members of the Design Research Society.
The editor -- Dr. Peter Storkerson -- is developing an exciting new series of articles for which we now seek submissions.
Call for Papers:
Design Research Quarterly announces a new series of articles: Case Studies in Research: Knowledge and Inquiry 'we want to hold a discussion on how research steers theory'
Call for Papers:
Designers use the term 'design' to cover a wide range of activities and types of problems, and we have many differing, often incommensurable and opposing models of design and its theoretical and methodological bases. As a result, we also have a history of lively debates over specific theories. These debates have not been able to resolve differences.
Many regions of design are not well defined, and in such situations, researchers can find that apparently straightforward problems can lead to fundamental questions about the nature of design, what kinds of philosophical and theoretical positions that can frame the research and ground the methods, and their implications with regard to knowledge: what kinds of knowledge are possible within the frames needed to do the research.
In short, we want to hold a discussion on how research steers theory. Our idea is to look at research and theories in design not primarily as related to subfields per se, but to see theories as products of research problems themselves: the topics studied and the questions being researched.
Rather than look at abstract problems of research and theory, we want to present actual problems as case studies.
In this way, we can clarify design by mapping its terrain of activities and problem types with their fundamental theoretical and methodological requirements.
Over the next two years, DRQ will collect and publish articles on these topics and replies to those articles, using its regular publication schedule to build a discussion. If you have an interest or idea for an article or other submission, please contact the editor, Peter Storkerson.
Topics:
We seek papers that explore issues including:
- ontological and epistemological implications or require- ments of a research problem
- status of knowledge, its bases and levels of certainty
- conflicts between the knowledge that is possible in a given situation and the research goals.
-how research fits into fundamental paradigms: scien- tific, humanist, phenomenological, pragmatic, etc., and how those approaches compare in their strengths and weaknesses
- working across the boundaries of humanism and science:
the extent to which a research problem requires use of more than one basic philosophical frame and how different frames can be reconciled
Specifications: 3,ooo to 6,000 words; APA guidelines
Design Research Quarterly is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Design Research Society.
For information or submissions: Peter Storkerson email: peter@drsq.org
Best regards,
Ken Friedman

Call for Session Proposals
Theme: Collaborative Innovation and Change
15th International Conference on Multi-Organizational Partnerships, Alliances and <st1:placename w:st="on">Networks</st1:placename>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Suffolk</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype>, Sawyer Business School, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Boston</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Massachusetts</st1:state>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region></st1:place>
June 25 - 27 2008
This conference focuses on how multi-organizational partnerships, alliances or networks serve as vehicles for innovation and change. What are the strategies, structures and processes by which multiple parties collaborate to co-create new products, services or organizational practices? How can collaborative partners align their strategies, structures and practices to foster productive innovation? What are the change processes as well as the creative processes that are either planned or emergent during the processes of collaboration and how do they impact the outcomes of collaborative innovation? How do different stakeholders (e.g. innovation suppliers, change agents, client or user organizations, occupational or user communities, and governmental or non-profit interest groups and organizations) influence the strategies, structures, and processes of collaborative innovation and change?
About MOPAN
The Multi-Organizational Partnerships, Alliances, and Networks (MOPAN) aim is to advance the understanding of the nature of multi-organizational partnerships, alliances and networks by providing an international platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences and methodologies. The conference is concerned with multi-organizational relationships within and across all sectors, including, for example, service delivery partnerships, social issue partnerships, community collaborations, strategic alliances, joint ventures, co-operative strategy, industry networks, public private partnerships, supply chain relationships and so on. We recognize that these multi-organizational forms are researched within a variety of disciplines and from a wide range of theoretical bases and we actively seek cross-fertilization from diverse contributions. Ultimately, the aim of this conference series is to develop insights that may be useful to those who endeavor to make multi-organizational partnerships and alliances work in practice. The conference series has also been designed to develop and maintain a network of researchers and practitioners interested in rigorous research in this area.
Themed sessions (track submission)
We invite you to propose a complete parallel session around a theme. Your proposal of 300-500 words should include:
- A session title indicating the theme.
- A description of the theme, including the rationale for its inclusion in the conference and fit with the overall conference theme;
- The format for the session, including details of the processes envisaged for facilitating discussion;
- Full details of those contributing to the session, including the nature of contributions.
Themed sessions might include symposia, panels or workshops. They do not necessarily need to include papers or presentations.
Please submit your proposal for a themed track electronically as a Microsoft Word document to mopan08@suffolk.edu. The deadline for proposed track submissions is September 30, 2007.

Special issue on multinationals in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>
Trade journals and the business press are rife with stories about business opportunities and challenges in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>. Surprisingly, despite the manifest importance of the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>, the region has been largely overlooked by scholarly journals. To date, the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place> is still a terra incognita and our stock of knowledge on business and management practices in the region remains mired in anecdotal evidence. Such neglect is quite astonishing given the enormous importance of the region to a large number of multinationals (MNCs).
Over the last few years, the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place> has been undergoing profound and uneven institutional and strategic transformations with ramifications for MNCs, that often necessitate different strategies to deal with the complex competitive dynamics in these markets. This forum will provide insights into the challenges facing MNCs in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place> and develop concepts, models and tools to guide MNCs strategies in the region. Given the scope of JWB, the Special Issue invites manuscripts that focus on the broad areas of firm strategies and competitive dynamics in this region. Topics may include but are not limited to the following issues:
_ What are the most effective modes of entry into Middle Eastern markets?
_ How doMNCs select and manage their partners in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>?
_ What are the sources of competitive advantage for MNCs operating in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>? How do MNCs achieve, sustain and enhance these advantages?
_ How are MNCs coping with the diverse and complex institutional environment of the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>?
_ In what ways are MNCs acting as institutional change agents in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>?
_ Do MNCs use conventional models and methods to enter and operate in Middle Eastern markets, or do they adopt new approaches? What are these approaches?
_ How do MNCs engage powerful external stakeholders, such as religious and ideological groups, political institutions, powerful political actors and civil society organizations? How are MNCs engaging with social, ideological and political conflicts in the region?
_ How do MNCs overcome the liability of foreignness and problems associated with their country of origin given the negative image of some western countries in the region?
