New publication by Palgrave MacMillan: Evolution of Innovation Management – Trends in an International Context
Innovation is a key driver for performance and growth in business. It provides a strong competitive advantage and is one of the best ways to speed up the rate of change and adaptation to the global environment. Concurrently, the topic of
innovation is also gaining increased visibility and interest among academic communities worldwide.
However, some of the challenges of innovating are remarkably consistent and recent times have shown the emergence of new ways for stimulating and
managing the innovation process, especially from an international perspective. Even if these processes are taking place in very different industries, there are many parallels in successfully managing them.
This volume explores these new routes and assesses their value both for markets and companies. More specifically, the book is organized around three themes:
• Innovation Strategies
• Innovation Management Tools
• International Perspectives
384 pages, ISBN 9780230368965, £70.00

At the heels of the recent financial crisis, nations and corporations seek policies and strategies that drive innovation, entrepreneurship and growth. Policy makers, business practitioners and academics attempt to uncover the strategies and best practices that can revitalize the economy.
Old strategies are revisited while new strategies are evaluated in an effort to restart the economy and leave the crisis behind. Startup firms are formed with the aim of introducing innovative solutions while established firms attempt to leverage their market access. In this pursuit for entrepreneurial drivers, nations and corporations seek to cooperate and coordinate their policies and strategies in order to recover and reengage in business development. Startup and restart strategies are needed to cope with these challenges and opportunities. How can corporations facilitate innovation and harness an entrepreneurial spirit?
How can startup firms in various parts of the world achieve leadership positions in international markets? How can startup firms organize their operations and establish supportive infrastructures of investors, business partners, suppliers and customers that enable them to enhance efficiency and performance? What common challenges do developing countries face in nurturing multinational corporations? What business practices support innovation and enhance firms' positions in international markets? What roles do interfirm cooperation and coordination serve in the economic development of corporations and nations? These important questions have captured the attention of strategy scholars and business practitioners interested in capitalizing on the opportunities that await countries and corporations beyond the economic recovery.
This special SMS conference in Tel Aviv, Israel, will bring together academics, practitioners, and consultants in an effort to contemplate how entrepreneurs, corporations and nations can leverage cooperation and coordination in order to revitalize their operations, initiate growth, and bring innovation to international markets. The conference theme "Startup and Restart Strategies" underscores both the challenges and opportunities that startup firms and corporations face when seeking to foster innovation, commercialization and global market reach following a period of economic setback. The conference seeks to explore ideas and deliver cutting-edge knowledge in areas of organization, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and international business that shed light on this phenomenon. The Tel Aviv special SMS conference calls for relevant conceptual and empirical contributions from various parts of the world that can facilitate conversation and scholarly debate, and inform academic thought and practice.
The conference combines four competitive tracks with plenary keynote sessions, a practice track, a doctoral consortium and academic development workshops that together promote the theme of startup and restart strategies. The competitive tracks align broadly with the domains of the Competitive Strategy, Corporate Strategy, Global Strategy, Knowledge and Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Strategy, and Cooperative Strategies interest groups of SMS.

Consistent with International Journal of Management Reviews' aims and policies, we seek high-impact reviews that not only summarize research progress, but also develop insightful and innovative suggestions for augmenting the impact of future research-whether in the form of a framework, process model, set of propositions, or the articulation of a research agenda. As such, we explicitly encourage papers that build on a review of the literature to develop a set of ideas and theoretical signposts that may inform and guide future research-thereby leading to less fragmentation in the field and a convergent research agenda.
In order to help articulate eventual submissions to the Special Issue, we invite any scholars interested to submit a preliminary, two-page proposal for preliminary feedback by the editorial team. To ensure timely feedback, such proposals should be submitted no later than June 20, 2013. Submitting a preliminary proposal is not necessary: however, doing so allows the Guest Editors to provide formative feedback at this stage and to support the manuscript's further developments.
The deadline for submitting full manuscripts for consideration is November 1, 2013.

April 19-21, 2013 Saint Louis University St. Louis, MO The theme for the 2013 conference is: Design Thinking for Opportunity Recognition
Primary sponsorship comes from the Kauffman Foundation with scholarship support from the Coleman Foundation and additional support from the Kern Engineering Entrepreneurship Network.
BACKGROUND
Since its start in 1987, Saint Louis University's Gateway Series for Entrepreneurship Research has promoted advances in scholarship on entrepreneurship and related disciplines. At the Gateway Conference, a general foundation is laid by the keynote speaker. The keynote address starts the meeting and provides a common frame of reference and point of departure. Work will then take place in small to medium sized groups exploring research and techniques applicable to the theme. The goal is to create an environment that maximizes opportunity for informal group discussion and provides connections and research opportunities for the participants. Other than the keynote speaker, no other Gateway participant needs to submit a paper to attend the conference.
2013 CONFERENCE THEME AND SPEAKER
The theme for the 2013 conference is: Design Thinking for Opportunity Recognition. The keynote will be in the form of a workshop on design thinking delivered by Heidi Neck of Babson College.
Opportunity recognition is at the core of the field of entrepreneurship. We have amassed an impressive body of research on the topic that has resulted in various schools of thought on how opportunities are identified and exploited. Despite this body of knowledge and our understanding of opportunity recognition, there has been little impact on the practice of identifying new opportunities.
The field of design may offer some insights and provide exciting new research directions in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship scholars are mostly born from the mother disciplines of strategy, economics, marketing, and organizational behavior; therefore, our understanding of design and its intersection with entrepreneurship is under researched and even misunderstood. Design is a process of divergence and convergence requiring skills in observation, synthesis, searching and generating alternatives, critical thinking, feedback, visual representation, creativity, problem-solving, and value creation. The practice of fundamental design principles can stimulate and accelerate opportunity recognition.
Heidi Neck will lead participants through a half-day simulation built on the principles of design thinking that can be incorporated into your own classrooms. By experiencing this design methodology for opportunity recognition during the first part of the conference, participants will be better prepared to articulate the most interesting research questions during the second half of the conference.
