2015 TIM Division Scholarly Program: Call for Submissions
Specific Domain: The Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) Division encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change from a variety of traditions including, for instance, behavioral, cognitive, sociological and economic perspectives. The problem domain includes the management of innovation, technology strategy, research and development, information technology, technology-based entrepreneurship, process technologies, and the commercialization of scientific research. Since 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 endeavor to enter this complex domain in the spirit of dialogue, debate, and deepened understanding. Our goal is to have papers and symposia that are as diverse, creative and engaging as our membership. Major topics include areas such as: technology life cycles; technology entrepreneurship; new market emergence; incumbent innovation challenges; strategies for managing intellectual property; multi-sided platforms and ecosystems; open innovation; user innovation; innovation networks; technology alliances and acquisitions; product development strategies; managing technical professionals; technological forecasting; innovation diffusion; impact of information technologies and the internet; relationship between new technologies and organizational forms.
Special Instructions: The theme of this year's meeting is "Opening Governance." The term governance (see, http://aom.org/annualmeeting/theme/) refers to leadership systems, managerial control protocols, property rights, decision rights, and other practices that give organizations their authority and mandates for action. Opening governance involves revisiting these practices especially in light of big data, crowdsourcing, and other emerging digital technologies that expand the information and expertise available to organizational leaders. We welcome papers and symposia submissions that are related to the conference theme, as well as topics listed above. Since TIM crosses multiple disciplines, papers or symposia that relate to the domains of other divisions are also encouraged; they may become candidates for cross-divisional sessions. Deadline for Submissions is January 13, 2015 at 5:00 PM ET (NY Time). If you submit a paper, we also expect you to please sign up to review! To sign up as a TIM reviewer, go to http://aom.org/annualmeeting/review/. Remember you have to renew your reviewer registration every year.
Division Awards: TIM offers a number of awards:
· TIM Division Best Paper Award. Award for the paper with the most significant contribution to TIM in the refereed scholarly program (may be co-authored and may be empirical or conceptual).
· TIM Best Student Paper Award. Award for the best student paper in the refereed scholarly program. 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.
· Best Reviewer Awards. Award for reviewers who go above and beyond in providing reviews that are particularly complete, insightful, and helpful.
· Distinguished Scholar Award. Award for a scholar that has been central to the intellectual development of TIM.
