SUBMISSION DEADLINES

Program Chair: Dianne Welsh, University of North Carolina-Greensboro, dhwelsh@uncg.edu

Deadline for Submissions is January 15, 2013 at 5:00 PM EST.

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.  The theme of this year's meeting is "Capitalism in Question."   We welcome papers and symposia submissions to the TIM Division that are related to the conference theme that include market competition, wage employment, limited government, and "a better world", as well as topics listed below in the TIM division's domain statement for the Academy of Management's annual meeting in Orlando, FL (August 2013).  Our goal is to have papers and symposia that are as diverse, creative and engaging 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, process technologies, and the commercialization of scientific research. 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. 

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 present Best Reviewer Awards to a number of reviewers whose reviews are particularly deep, complete, and insightful.

PDW Chair: Mary Tripsas, Boston College, tripsas@bc.edu

Deadline for Submissions is January 15, 2013 at 5:00 PM EST.

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 Orlando, Florida in August 2013. PDW sessions will be held Friday and Saturday (August 9-10).

PDW sessions are attractive venues for exploring cutting edge issues since they can take a variety of formats (workshops, tutorials, debates, roundtable discussions, town hall meetings) 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, "Capitalism in Question," 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 Academy (we welcome proposals that identify other Divisions and Interest Groups as co-sponsors; more than one co-sponsor can be suggested).  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: http://submissions.aomonline.org/2013/.

The TIM Division is pleased to invite submissions for the 2013 TIM Best Dissertation Award.

We will accept submissions based on doctoral dissertations completed during calendar years 2011 and 2012.

We take a broad perspective on technology and innovation including aspects of the emergence, diffusion, adoption, commercialization, evolution and consequences of technologies and innovations.

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, finalists are 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 2013 Annual Academy of Management Meeting in Orlando.

Finalists will be invited to present their work at a dedicated session during the conference, when the winner will be announced. The session will afford high visibility to the finalists' dissertations.
