Call for Abstracts due 8 Jan 2013 for
Sustainability, Ethics and Entrepreneurship (SEE) Conference, University of Denver, Denver, Colorado, April 10-11, 2013
Sponsors: Journal of Management Studies (JMS) and the Kauffman Foundation
Location: University of Denver, Denver, Colorado, USA
Conference Website: http://biz.colostate.edu/seeConference/Pages/call.aspx
Dates:
Professional Development Workshop: Wednesday-Thursday, April 10-11, 2013
SEE Conference: Thursday-Friday, April 11-12, 2013
NREL Tour: Thursday, April 11, 2013
Building on a vibrant cohort of scholars in ethics, entrepreneurship, and sustainability around the world, the SEE Conference features the leading research on these important and rapidly changing areas of study.
Sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE) draw on knowledge from diverse backgrounds. These include but are not limited to studies on sustainability, social entrepreneurship, business ethics, firm-community ties, and environment impacts, to name a few. The fact that ethics and sustainability are intertwined with the concept of entrepreneurship is no longer new. Indeed, ethical choices are critical any business activity and a key to success of startups, small firms, medium enterprises, and large, multinational corporations. Some even suggest that the focus on sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship triangulates every economic opportunity and social value.
The goal of the conference is to lead the advancement and accumulation of knowledge about SEE-related topics. The SEE Conference is a platform for leading scholars to share research, theories, practice, and public policy about SEE-related topics.
In addition to competitive paper presentations, the 2013 SEE Conference will also feature:
A) Keynote speakers who are thought leaders including Jay Barney
(Presidential Professor of Strategic Management at the University of Utah); Tom Lumpkin (The Chris J. Witting Chair in Entrepreneurship, the Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University); and Bruce Hutton (Dean Emeritus and Director of Ethics Integration, University of Denver).
B) The Journal of Management Studies' (JMS) Young Scholar Development
Workshop (April 10 to 11, 2013). Funding to partially defray travel and accommodation expenses to attendees is a result of gracious funding from the society for the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS) and JMS.
Authors are invited to submit abstracts (2 single-spaced pages not exceeding
1,250 words) that address a broad array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE). Those selected by a double-blind review process will be asked to present at either paper or
poster sessions during the 2013 conference April 11-12. For topic
information, visit our website:
http://biz.colostate.edu/seeConference/Pages/call.aspx
There is no registration fee; however, submitting an abstract signifies a commitment that at least one of the authors will participate in the conference. Submitting an abstract also represents a commitment that the featured ideas are original and come from unpublished working papers.
Finally, the conference is limited to 120 attendees; about 24 manuscripts; and 12 posters.
Thanks to the Kauffman Foundation and other contributions, the SEE Conference will provide meals and beverages to all participants. The SEE Conference will also pay the hotel and/or travel costs for selected Ph.D.
students and early-stage assistant professors. We will issue more detail on this on the SEE website.

January 8, 2013: Abstract Submission Deadline
(https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SEE2013/)
February 18, 2013: Acceptance Notification March 1, 2013: Program Published April 11-12, 2013: Conference in Denver, CO

SUBMITTING ABSTRACT(S)
The following suggestions are provided in response to frequent questions on how to improve the chances that an abstract will be accepted.
The conference reviewers are members of the SEE's Advisory Board and a group of ad-hoc reviewers. Every abstract is evaluated by 2-4 reviewers. While each reviewer makes independent judgments, there are some common threads that distinguish accepted from rejected abstracts:
• Abstracts that open up new research frontiers or offer new insights or
perspectives that enrich discussion and discourse.
• Abstracts that address unimpeachably important, timely, and relevant topics.
• Abstracts where SEE-related research has clear conceptual and/or practical
implications.
• It is helpful to state the current stage of data collection and when you
expect to complete the data collection and analysis.
• The reviewers consider the potential for completion of the work described
in the abstract.
• Reviewers assume that authors of accepted abstracts entered with good
faith and expect that the research will be competently completed before the conference.
• Do not include references, tables, and the like in the abstract. Also
your name or contact information should NOT appear anywhere in the document.

The EuroMed Academy of Business announces the 6th Annual Conference - September 23rd-24th, 2013
The EuroMed Research Business Institute solicits proposals for hosting specific tracks at the 6th Annual Conference of the EuroMed Academy of Business. Please note that all papers and abstracts accepted will be published in the Book of Proceedings (with an ISBN number) which is included in ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index - an integrated index within Web of Science. This prestigious distinction is given only to the most significant, in terms of academic excellence, conferences-conventions worldwide.
Prospective track chairs should submit a short description of subjects that will be included in their track. The proposed track should not be too general, but also not overly specialized, thus being able to attract a wide audience of people sharing similar interests. Proposals from industry are also encouraged and welcomed.
All track proposals will be reviewed by the Conference Organizing Committee with respect to the above criteria. The committee reserves the right to: (1) accept the proposal as it is, (2) recommend merging of similar proposals with a considerable overlap, or (3) reject the proposal.
Upon acceptance of a proposal, the track chairs will be notified of the timetable and related responsibilities. The deadline for track proposal submission is 21st of December, 2013. The acceptance of track proposals will be announced on the 2th of January 2013.
We expect all Track Chairs to start the review process at the beginning of April and submit decision letter late April 2013. The specific dates will be given later.
Upon receiving all reviews, the track chairs are responsible to send them timely to the Director of Scientific Committee together with their recommendation on whether the paper should be accepted or rejected.
Track chairs will get a specific schedule for accomplishment of the review process. They will be responsible, among other things, for:
· Preparation of list of reviewers.
· distributing papers/abstracts to reviewers with guidelines and evaluation forms (these will be provided by the EuroMed Academy of Business)
· make sure that the review forms are returned back to them on time
· following the reviews, the track chairs are required to provide for each paper/abstract their own accept/reject recommendation
· submitting all recommendations by late April, 2013
All proposals should be submitted electronically (in Microsoft Word format) to Dr. Evangelos Tsoukatos tsoukat@staff.teicrete.gr and tsoukat1@otenet.gr

Job Positions and Research Proposals

Dear list members,
Apologies for cross-posting. I am looking for suggestions on research (published or unpublished) that examines the micro-foundations of interorganizational learning/knowledge transfer. In particular, I am interested in works that explore how individuals contribute to and are involved in interorganizational learning. I am also interested in identifying research that examines cross-level effects – either how characteristics of interorganizational ties influence the micro side of interorganizational learning or how bottom-up processes of individuals and their interactions affect interorganizational learning. I will summarize responses for the list. Thank you in advance.
Best,
Corey

The Department of Management in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas seeks applications from interested candidates to fill a clinical assistant professor position in strategic management, organizational behavior, or human resource management. Applicants with a background in entrepreneurship, data analysis/statistics, or international business are also encouraged to apply. This is a non-tenure track position that is focused primarily on teaching and service activities, but research contributions in refereed journals are also expected, as candidates will be required to maintain their academically-qualified status under the AACSB guidelines. While a Ph.D. degree in the relevant discipline is necessary, candidates who are ABD and completing the requirements for their doctoral degree will be considered for this position.
This clinical professor position has a four-course teaching requirement each semester. The expected start date for the position is August 2013, the appointment is renewable, and salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.
Interested candidates should send a detailed CV, three letters of reference, evidence of teaching excellence and a copy of a recent research paper. Doctoral students who expect to complete their Ph. D. by August 2013 should send a brief description of their dissertation and the expected timeline for completion. Completion of the doctoral degree is expected prior to employment for the position offered. The University of Arkansas is committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive campus in which to work, study, teach and serve. Therefore, we are especially interested in applications from qualified candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our college and programs. Applications received by January 31, 2013 will receive full consideration.
You may e-mail your packet of information to: mgmtsearch2013@walton.uark.edu.
