Announcements
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues
Stephan Liozu and I are very pleased to announce that the book "Innovation in Pricing" has just been published.
The text examines innovation in pricing from four complementary perspectives. Innovation in Pricing Strategy illustrates how companies implement innovative pricing strategies, such as customer value-based pricing. Innovation in Pricing Tactics deals with innovative tools to measure and increase customer willingness to pay and to communicate value to B2B and B2C customers. Innovation in Organizing the Pricing Function looks at state-of-the art approaches to embed the pricing function in the organization. Psychological Aspects of Pricing illustrates how companies can influence customer perceptions of value and price in their question to implement innovation in pricing.
'Finally, a book that gives dozens of examples of innovative pricing. Even one idea that grabs your attention can create a fortune.'

CALL FOR CHAPTERS
Proposal Submission: 15th October 2012
Full Chapter Submission: 31th January 2013 Government e-Strategic Planning and Management: Practices, patterns and roadmaps A Book Edited by Dr. Leonidas G. Anthopoulos1, and Dr. Christopher G. Reddick2 ,
1TEI of Larissa Greece, Greece, 2University of Texas at San Antonio, USA To be published by Springer Science and Business Media
Introduction
Various Government e-Strategies have been developed since the late 90s in an attempt to describe the vision for administrative and for societal change, the objectives and the priorities with regard to the development of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) at national and at supranational levels. Terms such as the European “Information Society”, the U.S. “Information Highways” and the Korean and Chinese “Informatization” try to describe social transformation that occurs due to the ICT, and to determine means with which Governments will capitalize the ICT to deal with national or regional challenges, to improve social life and to support economic growth. Moreover, e-Strategies define guidelines that control public investments on the ICT. In these strategic documents Governments identify the strategic development supervisors, the objectives, the Critical Success Factors (CSFs), the evaluation frameworks, and the estimated outcomes. Different countries recognize different challenges, prioritize different objectives and determine alternative paths to achieve in their e- strategic targets.
E-Strategic planning has been a dynamic process since all e-Strategies have closed even more than a single life-cycle. These strategic updates are usually not justified efficiently by Governments. E-strategic planning, management and review are complex processes that have to consider and account on various determinants, which belong to either the external or the internal environment of the application area. As a result, it is extremely difficult to an external observer who has not participated in these processes and who does not live in the particular geographic region to understand these parameters and to recognize how they impact the strategic life cycle and how the strategic objectives are being updated.
Objectives
This book focuses on the analysis of various e-strategies and of their updates with means of strategic management. It aims to illustrate the alternative e-strategic approaches that are followed around the world -with the capitalization of recent trends in strategic management theory- and addresses the gaps that appear between e-strategic updates. Invited authors have to use strategic management theory and tools in order to analyze and describe the e-strategic evolution in their cases. More often than not, authors can evaluate e-strategic management approaches and present multi- criteria decision making systems for e-strategic transformation.
Recommended Topics and Themes
In the context of e-strategic management the proposed book intends to include, but is not limited to, chapters in the following broad topics and
themes:
1. Case studies and user experiences regarding e-strategic development
at national and supranational level.
2. Government 2.0 and e-strategic development in countries and
territories with different levels of e‐government capability and maturity.
3. The context of strategic management (theories, frameworks,
methodologies, tools, recent and future trends and other supporting aspects of strategic management) with regard to the ICT, Strategic (systems) thinking in the public sector.
4. Transparent, open government, connected government and recent trends
regarding e-strategic formulation.
5. Portfolio management, public sector governance, government
performance, investment management.
6. Economic value and impact of open and of connected government as a
result of recent e-strategic transformation.
7. Government interoperability, Government e-service innovation and
management, Enterprise Architecture for e-strategic management.
8. Government transformation and modernization, public sector reforms.
9. Open data initiative, linked data for e-strategic management (i.e.,
the dashboards).
10. Policies, regulations and mandates for driving government ICT
programs.
11. Public private partnerships for e-strategic planning, management and
development.
12. Segmentsʼ presentation and association with the e-strategy (i.e.,
public services, healthcare, defense, education, disaster management, manufacturing, transportation and services etc.).
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before October, 15, 2012, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by October 31, 2012 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by January 15, 2013. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.

Apologies for cross posting
Dear all
Please find below the draft of a research symposium abstract. I am looking for people who may be able to teach us and contribute to methodological research on the topic of mixed methods within a grounded theory framework at the AoM 2013 meeting.
Please email with your ideas and comments: iwl@rouenbs.fr
Originally, GT methods (GTM) were broadly proposed to attempt closing "the gap between theory and empirical research" (Glaser and Strauss, 1967: vii), to "develop canons more suited to the discovery of theory" rather than to the testing of existing theories and finally, to "ground theory in social research itself for generating it from the data" (Ibid.: viii).
In their seminal 1967 publication, Glaser and Strauss made it clear that they intended GTM to be used with both qualitative and quantitative data, and a full chapter was dedicated to the theoretical elaboration of quantitative data. This tends to show that both Glaser and Strauss considered that a GT research may include both qualitative and/or quantitative data. In 2008, Glaser elaborated further on the uses of quantitative GTM. Quantitative methods involving quantitative data may thus be used for exploratory purposes in a GTM study.
However, GTM has become the dominant qualitative methodology since the late 1980s in many disciplines (Vryant and Charmaz, 2007) and, to this day, it appears to have been mostly used with qualitative data in management studies.
We argue that applying the GT framework in its full scope, intended purpose and meaning, would help theories of greater abstraction and scope to emerge in the field of management. Using the legacy of Lazarsfeld (who insisted on combining qualitative and quantitative analysis) as Glaser did, opens the way to alternative approaches for quantitative researchers. These approaches reach beyond the traditional positivist hypotheses-testing stance.
In order to start enriching this methodologically new field that is emerging in grounded theorists circles, we are interested in bringing together works that use mixed qualitative and quantitative methods (Morse, 2003) with qualitative and quantitative data in an exploratory, theory building stance.
