Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) Call For Papers,
Submission Deadline 14 Jan 2010
(Program Chair: Paul Olk, tim.aom@du.edu)
The Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) Division encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change from a variety of perspectives, including strategic, managerial, behavioral, and operational issues. This year's conference theme of "Dare to Care: Passion and Compassion in Management Practice and Research" calls attention to an important dimension of technology and innovation management. The passion of innovators in championing new products or in creating an invention, the involvement of users in creating material for Web 2.0 businesses (e.g., YouTube; Facebook), the commitment of customers to select technology-based products (e.g., Smartphones; videogames), as well as the innovations designed to help others (e.g., an all-terrain wheelchair) are but a few examples of how passion and caring influence technology and innovation management. You are encouraged to send in papers and symposia to the TIM division which are related to the conference theme as well as those listed below in the TIM division's domain statement for the Academy of Management's annual meeting in Montréal (August 2010). Our goal is to have papers and symposia that are as diverse, creative, and interesting as our membership.
Specific Domain: TIM encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change from a variety of perspectives, including strategic, managerial, behavioral, and operational issues. The problem domain includes the management of innovation, technology strategy, research and development, information technologies and the internet, technology-based entrepreneurship and process technologies. Participants in this broad academic endeavor come from a wide range of disciplines and draw on an extensive array of theoretical and research paradigms. We enter this complex problem domain in the spirit of dialogue, debate, and deepened understanding. Major topics include: studies of innovation processes; innovation diffusion and the development, implementation and use of new technologies; technology development trajectories; entry timing advantages; intellectual capital; competing in platform-mediated markets; organizational processes by which technically-oriented activities are integrated into organizations; product development strategies; technical project management; behaviors and characteristics of technical professionals; technological forecasting and policies; impact of information technologies and the internet; relationship between new technologies and organizational forms.
Special Instructions: The TIM division welcomes empirical or conceptual papers and symposia on topics dealing with any aspect of the management of technology or organizational innovation. Papers or symposia that relate to the domains of other divisions are encouraged; they may become candidates for cross-divisional sessions. Deadline for Submissions is January 14, 2010.
Division Awards: TIM offers two competitive awards as part of the Academy submission process: The TIM Best Student Paper Award, and the TIM Division Best Paper Award. To be eligible for the best student paper award, the student must be senior author or sole author and this should be clearly indicated on the title page of the paper. Papers considered for the Best Student Paper Award can also be considered for the TIM Division Best Paper Award. In addition to these two awards, we offer several Best Reviewer Awards to a number of reviewers whose reviews are particularly deep, complete, and insightful.

The Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) Division encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change from a variety of perspectives, including strategic, managerial, behavioral, and operational issues. To explore these many issues, the division seeks innovative proposals for its pre-conference Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) at the Academy of Management's annual meeting in Montréal (August 2010). PDW sessions will be held Friday and Saturday (August 6-7).
PDW sessions are attractive venues for exploring cutting edge issues since they can take a variety of formats (workshops, tutorials, debates, roundtable discussions) and can address topics that may not fit in the regular program. Central to each session should be the goal of engaging participants in a high level of interaction.
We seek proposals that are related to the conference theme, Dare to Care: Passion and Compassion in Management Practice and Research, or explore emerging trends in research and practice of Technology and Innovation Management. Acceptance of proposals will be based on (a) relevance to the interests of the Division's membership; (b) creativity; (c) potential to foster integration with the rest of the AOM (we welcome proposals that identify other Divisions and Interest Groups as co-sponsors). Our goal is to have a slate of PDWs that is as diverse, creative, and interesting as our membership.
We encourage you to submit a proposal by using the PDW form available at the AOM submission site. The submission deadline is January 14, 2010. If you have any questions or would like to discuss an idea for a PDW before the deadline, feel free to please contact Arvids Ziedonis at azied@umich.edu.

Call for TIM Best Dissertation Award
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract Submission Deadline: January 31, 2010
The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of Management is pleased to invite submissions for the 2010 TIM Best Dissertation Award. We will accept submissions based on doctoral dissertations completed during calendar years 2008 and 2009. We take a broad perspective on technology and innovation including aspects of the emergence, diffusion, adoption, commercialization, evolution and consequences of technologies and innovations. The TIM Division's domain statement can be found at http://www.aomtim.org/.
As per the domain statement, we welcome dissertations from different disciplinary perspectives including management (strategy, organization theory, organizational behavior etc.) as well as economics, technology studies, sociology, etc. We are also happy to consider a broad range of methodologies.
The award process involves two stages. In the first stage, each applicant submits a 5-page dissertation abstract (see details below) along with supporting references and figures. A committee of experienced scholars then selects the finalists. In the second stage, each finalist is invited to submit a 30-page manuscript based upon their dissertation. The committee reviews these manuscripts, provides feedback, and selects the best dissertation which will be announced at the 2010 Annual Academy of Management Meeting in Montreal. In addition, finalists will be invited to present their work at a dedicated session during the conference and will receive a notebook computer as a prize. The session will afford high visibility to the finalists' dissertations.
Submission Requirements:
Submit one copy of the first-stage award submission electronically to both Daniel Snow and Hans Gemuenden with the subject "TIM Dissertation Award Submission" by January 31, 2010. Contact information is below.
Your submission should include two files: (1) a cover page and (2) your dissertation abstract (which includes text summary, references, and supporting materials). Please use your last name in naming the files as Lastnamefile1.doc and Lastname-file2.doc. Please submit this as a .doc file (not as a .pdf) so that we can edit to remove any identifying information for the review process. File names will be changed after receipt to provide anonymity.
In the first file, the cover page should include the following information:
1. Dissertation title
2. Author's name
3. Dissertation completion date
4. Author's degree-granting school
5. Author's dissertation committee with the principal advisor(s) and other roles and their affiliations clearly identified
6. Author's current affiliation information (affiliation(s), job title(s), corresponding address, telephone, fax, and email)
7. Up to five keywords that describe the main theme(s) of the dissertation
This should be the only page to include identifying author, school, and committee information.
In the second file, the dissertation abstract must follow these requirements:
1. Five page limit for the text summarizing the dissertation's contents
2. One inch margins
3. Times New Roman or equivalent font – no smaller than 12 point
4. Double-spaced text
5. The text should have page numbers starting with "1"
6. The dissertation title should be on page "1" and may be single spaced
You may include up to five pages of references that may be single-spaced. These do not count towards the page limit for the text of the dissertation abstract.
You may include up to five pages of supporting materials (tables, figures, appendices, etc.) beyond the text summary and the references.
Do not submit a complete dissertation. Finalists will be asked to submit a manuscript of up to 30 pages subsequently.
Be sure to remove any material in the abstract or references that may identify you as author, for example a series of working papers you have authored or reference to the dissertation itself.
Submissions should be made in .doc format.
The award is meant for Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral theses. If you have any question about eligibility, please contact the Dissertation Award Co-Chairs well in advance of the deadline for abstract submission.
Please note that late submissions or submissions that do not follow these requirements will not be considered, as the integrity of the reviewing process depends on consistency across submissions. If you have questions concerning these requirements, please contact one of the co-chairs.

2010 AOM TIM Call for Reviewers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Academy is calling for reviewers for its 2010 Annual Meeting Program, August 6-10, in Montreal, Canada.
If you are interested in being a part of the review process, we highly encourage you to sign up as a volunteer reviewer for the divisions or interest groups in which you are a member, planning to submit to, or are interested in. Divisions and Interest Groups will also be following up with those of you who have reviewed in the past. Please note that even if you have reviewed in the past, you still need to sign up again for the 2010 Annual Meeting.
You can sign up to review for up to three divisions and/or interest groups. You may be asked to review up to three submissions (papers and symposia) per division or interest group that is selected. So the maximum total number of review assignments that you could potentially receive from the divisions and interest groups that you select is nine.
As an added feature this year, you can also sign up to review for the All-Academy Theme (AAT) Program consisting of symposia that focus on the the 2010 Program Theme, "Dare to Care: Passion and Compassion in Management Practice and Research". The AAT Program Chair, Joshua Margolis, will make the review assignments based on matching keywords that relate to the theme. Being a reviewer for the AAT program is in addition to your review participation with the Academy divisions and interest groups.
The review period for the 2010 Annual Meeting is from January 14, 2010 (Submission Deadline) to February 12, 2010 (Review Deadline). However, you might be asked to review early submissions that come in before the submission deadline. Please check your work schedule to make sure that you will be able to review during this period.
Being a reviewer will add more visibility to you and your institution and give you an opportunity to be more involved in the Academy's program. We hope that you strongly consider reviewing for at least one division or interest group.
To sign up, please visit the reviewer sign up website and click the "Sign Up Now" button in order to create a profile and choose your areas of expertise (i.e. keywords) for the divisions or interest groups for which you want to review. The signup process is fast and easy and should not take longer than 5 minutes.
Thank you in advance for your participation. Without your "Passion and Compassion" as reviewers, there would not be an Annual Meeting Program.
