Call for Applications: 2010 AOM TIM Junior Faculty Consortium
The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of Management is pleased to invite applications for the 2010 TIM Junior Faculty Consortium to be held at the Academy of Management meeting in Montreal
(Canada) on Friday, August 6th and Saturday, August 7th, 2010.
If you hold an assistant professor rank (or its equivalent) and teach or research in the TIM domain, this professional development workshop is for you. The workshop will make available the knowledge that you need to prosper in both the local and global academic environment. The workshop focuses on strategies for impact as a scholar and teacher, as well as on building a career in diverse professional settings.
This year's consortium will allow participants to learn how to publish in top journals, meet the editors of prestigious journals in the field, and receive feedback on their working papers from their peers and senior faculty. The consortium will feature outstanding senior faculty members with a proven record of research and teaching. The consortium will provide participants with the opportunity for reflection and renewal, for networking with friends and colleagues, and for meeting new peers and senior colleagues with shared interests. Applicants must have at least one full year of experience as an assistant professor in a post-Ph.D. academic institution and no more than three years experience by August 2010.
To apply, please email your vita to Anu Wadhwa at anu.wadhwa@epfl.ch. When you apply please indicate the month and year you started your first assistant professor position. We will take applications on a rolling basis until May 15, 2010. We encourage you to apply early.
Accepted applicants will be required to submit a working paper for the Paper Feedback Session by June 30, 2010.

This is the first announcement of two online Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) workshops using SmartPLS for faculty, practitioners, and students during June 2010. Before May 16th (early registration), the cost for faculty and/or practitioners is $250 USD (using the discount code 'early'). The cost for full-time students (before May 16) is $175 (USD) (using the discount code 'earlystudent' while registering for the workshop). The globally-available, synchronous, online workshops are scheduled for June 11-12 @ Noon-4PM EDT (GMT-5) and on June 18-19 @ 6PM - 10PM EST (GMT-5). This 'at-night' workshop is intended for the convenience of Pacific Rim countries.
There is more information about workshop content, instructor, and procedures for registering at the registration sites:

- https://www.regonline.com/smartpls-june-18-19-2010 (please copy and paste the url, do not click on it)
Please note that a portion of the revenues from these workshops go to the respective University's software development team to keep the cost and availability of SmartPLS free for academic use.
In cooperation with: (1) the University of Hamburg; (2) Radboud University and PLS-School; and (3) faculty at Georgia State University, we are offering globally-available, synchronous, live, interactive, video- and audio-supported online workshops for structural equation modeling (SEM) partial least squares (PLS) path modeling using SmartPLS. These online workshops are conducted using the award-winning eLearning platform Elluminate Live ! The purpose of the online workshops are to inform participants of the uses and applications of PLS path modeling using SmartPLS and to provide live, "hands-on" demonstrations of the basic and intermediate techniques of using SmartPLS.
The workshops consist of two integrated sessions on two consecutive days. All that is required to participate is a fast, reliable Internet connection (not dial-up) and a set of inexpensive headphones with a microphone. There is no cost for participants to use the Elluminate Live ! platform. Participants receive: (1) the SmartPLS software; (2) all training materials, data sets, and slides from the training sessions; (3) abundant literature regarding PLS path modeling; and (4) access to high-fidelity recordings of all of the presented live material after the workshop is completed (on Internet-provided recordings available free of charge for three months following the workshop). These workshop recordings are for individual participant use only, and include all video, audio and "hands-on" demonstrations and exercises.
In addition to an introduction to PLS path modeling using SmartPLS, the following topics (in addition to others) are included:
CB-SEM vs. PLS-SEM
SmartPLS Visual Interface
Scale Development
Bootstrapping vs. Jackknifing
Blindfolding
PLS Algorithm
Theory Testing vs. Prediction
Assessment of PLS Path modeling estimates (measurement model and structural model)
Reflective vs. Formative
Interpreting SmartPLS Output
Overall Goodness-of-Fit
Effect Size
Reflective vs. Formative indicators
Second-order Factor Models
Mediating Factors
Assessing the effect
Moderating Factors
Product indicator approach
Group differences approach
Three-Way Interactions
Determining strength of moderating effect
Two-stage approach
Non-linear Effects
Heterogeneity, Segmentation and FIMIX-PLS
The workshop agenda approximates the following schedule. There are seven separate learning modules in each workshop, five of which conclude with a "hands-on" exercise using SmartPLS with existing data sets (provided).
DAY 1
- Introduction to PLS, Latent Constructs, SEM and SmartPLS
- Basic path modeling with SmartPLS
Basic path modeling exercise - TAM model data - Evaluating PLS path models
Model evaluation exercise - UTAUT model data
DAY 2
- PLS algorithm, bootstrapping, jackknifing and blindfolding

Call for Papers
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues,
(Apologies for cross posting!)
As you may already be aware, the inaugural issue of Impact: Journal of Applied Research in Workplace E-learning has now been published online at http://journal.elnet.com.au/impact/, and is available for viewing for free upon registration on the site. The journal is now accepting manuscript submissions for its second issue (Vol. 2, No. 1), which will be a regular issue, and its third issue (Vol. 2, No. 2), which will be a special issue on the topic of evaluation and transfer of workplace e-learning. Both of these issues are scheduled for publication later this year.
Impact is an online publication of the E-learning Network of Australasia (ElNet at http://www.elnet.com.au), a not-for-profit organisation and Australia's only national e-learning association. The journal has been established to address the paucity of research publication avenues that provide a particular emphasis on e-learning in organisational, corporate and workplace settings, and which seek to bridge academic and business communities. Focusing on stimulating and generating dialogue, as well as promoting the development and sharing of evidence-based best practice, the journal publishes both refereed and non-refereed contributions from authors worldwide relating to the design, implementation, evaluation and management of workplace e-learning across a range of sectors and industries.
The Editorial Policies section of the Web site (accessible at http://journal.elnet.com.au/index.php?journal=impact&page=about&op=editorialPolicies) houses information on the journal's focus and scope, including topics of interest and types of articles accepted. For specific style guidelines and advice on preparing a manuscript for submission, please consult the Submissions section of the site (http://journal.elnet.com.au/index.php?journal=impact&page=about&op=submission).
Enquiries and expressions of interest can be directed to impactjournal@elnet.com.au.
Kind regards,
Mark J.W. Lee
