CALL FOR PROPOSALS The Academy of Management's "Second Conference" Dear Colleagues: I am writing today to ask for your help. The Academy's Board of Governors recently decided that in addition to our annual summer meeting, we would like to hold a second, smaller, and very different type of conference. We would like to hold it beyond our usual conference borders and to do it no later than 2013. With members from more than 100 countries and with an annual meeting that now draws over 10,000 people, we want to give ourselves a chance to meet in a smaller venue and to meet somewhere besides the United States and Canada (places that for a variety of reasons, are best equipped to handle an annual meeting of our size). We are also eager to experiment with a format that might differ dramatically from what we do each August. This is where you come in. We need your good ideas! Think about what kind of new conference format would really energize us and serve us well. Please do not feel constrained by our past practices. Let your mind race with possibilities. Indeed, no one wants to replicate our annual meeting on a smaller scale and in a different part of the world. We want to tap your creativity, expertise, experience, and energy to help us create something special. We will move forward in a two-step fashion. The first step is to develop a very short proposal that simply outlines what you have in mind. Give broad form to your ideas in five pages or less. The formal call for proposals will give you specific guidelines but in general, let the journalist's six questions be your guide. Tell us what you have in mind and why your new conference will be so impactful. Briefly address when and where you think we should meet and of course, tell us who you think would most benefit from participating. Finally, begin to give some thought to what it will take to make it happen (the "How?" question). A committee will read through the proposals and select a few to develop in greater detail. That subsequent development process will constitute the second step. I hope that you are as excited as I am about this opportunity. Please send your ideas to Jimmy Le at our headquarters in New York by June 30, 2010: jle@pace.edu. Thanks a million! Sincerely,
Jim Walsh

Dear Colleagues
The Centre for International Business and Strategy in Emerging Markets at Brunel Business School, UK is organising an international conference to probe the phenomenon of the Internationalisation of Innovation into Emerging Markets. To this end, we call for papers that address issues relating to this subject. We will take a broad view of the internationalisation of innovation acknowledging that this has taken a number of different forms and gained in strength since the mid 1990s.
This is our second call for proposals. Please send us an extended abstract of maximum 2000 words that outlines the main argument of the paper, its significance for firm management or technology policy and the methods used to demonstrate the arguments. Please send your abstracts to cibsem@brunel.ac.uk <mailto:cibsem@brunel.ac.uk?subject=abstract> by 15 May 2010 with 'abstract' in the subject line. We have extended the deadline in recognition of the dsiruption to work schedules caused by the volcano-ash problem.
Please visit the web link below to read more about the scope of the conference, a list of suggestive topics for abstracts and a downloadable call for papers.

Internationalisation of Innovation into Emerging Markets
MBA Suite, Brunel Business School, 12-13 July 2010 14-15 July 2010
This international conference will take a broad view of the internationalisation of innovation acknowledging that this has taken a number of different forms and gained in strength since the mid 1990s.
International R&D activities of multinationals have attracted the most attention as not only have they increased in volume, but have also spread to newer regions of the world, such as developing countries of Asia and former East European countries such as Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Another form of international sourcing of knowledge that has also gained in importance is via international collaborations, alliances and being embedded in international networks of scientists. The emergence of new sectors of technology trade (e.g. media, software and biotechnology) with substantial inputs into the activities of other downstream sectors has also shown the possibilities and potentialities of 'arms-length' technology trade as a source of external knowledge. Such transactions now involve a significant part of business R&D in the
OECD countries and this proportion has continued to grow in the 1990s, often much faster than the growth of R&D investments.
We hope to probe this phenomenon further in a two day conference. To this end, we call for proposals for papers that address issues relating to the internationalisation of innovation into emerging markets. Please send us an extended abstract of maximum 2000 words that outlines the main argument of the paper, its significance for firm management or technology policy and the methods used to demonstrate the arguments.
Topics addressed in the abstract can include questions on the internationalisation of innovative activity such as:
Does the successful use of international sources of knowledge from emerging markets and regions require a fundamentally different organisation of the R&D and innovation process?
What are the sources of cross-industry differences? Are vertically integrated industries more prone to one form of international sourcing from emerging markets than another?
How do OECD firms manage their international R&D projects in emerging regions given the large differences in institutional set-up?
Is the technology development undertaken in R&D labs in India and China very different from that undertaken in European and US R&D labs? Is there rivalry amongst the different locations for international R&D?
What are the benefits of one mode of international sourcing over another in the emerging market context?
What is the value of international sourcing when compared to internal R&D efforts?
IPR concerns and subsidies for R&D have long dominated the policy agenda for fostering innovation – does internationalisation of innovation to emerging regions force a re-think of these instruments?
Have national variations in intellectual property rights and their monitoring affected the form of internationalisation of R&D?
Does the internationalisation of technology hold potential for the global development of low-carbon technologies at low costs and prices?

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.
