Siqueira, Duquesne University Ronaldo C. Parente, Florida International University Richard Priem, Texas Christian University & LUISS Guido Carli University 1. Purpose of the Special Issue Globalization, companies' increasing emphasis on innovation, and the fast- paced introduction of new technologies have encouraged companies to search for technologies anywhere in the world (Doz, Santos, & Williamson, 2001), develop technologies in emerging economies (Immelt, Govindarajan, & Trimble, 2009), and manage innovation ecosystems internationally (Adner, 2012). Venturing beyond the sequential notion of value chains (Porter, 1985), some companies have developed collaborative arrangements involving economic transactions and institutional arrangements between suppliers, complementors, and users (Normann & Ramirez, 1993; Stabell & Fjeldstad, 1998). Such "innovation ecosystems" can be understood as networks of interconnected organizations that incorporate both production- and use- side participants who create value through innovation (Autio & Thomas, forthcoming). In an increasingly interconnected world, some firms are able to create more value than any single firm could alone by coordinating innovation ecosystems that cross industry boundaries and national borders. Demand-side approaches to value creation represent a new, bourgeoning area in the fields of technology innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management (Priem, Li, & Carr, 2012). For instance, an earlier symposium at the 2009 meeting of the Academy of Management addressed the topic of "Demand-Side Approaches to Strategy and Innovation: Moving beyond a Resource-Only Focus" and showcased the work in this area by scholars from different countries. More recently, a symposium at the 2012 meeting of the Academy of Management discussed the topic of "Strategy in Ecosystems," bringing together presenters who have made major contributions to this growing area, such as Ron Adner, Carliss Baldwin, Marco Iansiti, Michael Jacobides, Kathleen Eisenhardt, and Yves Doz. Demand-side studies have begun investigating key questions such as: how consumer demand may influence innovation decisions (Fontana & Guerzoni, 2008; Sawhney, Verona & Prandelli, 2005; Tripsas, 2008), and how consumer- focused strategies influence value creation and appropriation (Adner & Snow, 2010; Gruber, MacMillan, & Thompson, 2008; Ye, Priem, & Alshwer, 2012). Among these approaches, the perspective of "consumer benefits experienced" (Priem, 2007) examines demand-side strategies that firms can employ to create value. Consumers are arbiters of value by endorsing or rejecting the value of innovations (Priem, 2007). International business researchers have started to examine: how multinational organizations access knowledge distributed across consumer groups and different countries in developing innovations (Wilson & Doz, 2011); how collaboration with upstream suppliers, complementors, and downstream consumers facilitates value creation through innovation in an interconnected world (Autio & Thomas, forthcoming); and the effect of innovation on internationalization (e.g., Zeng & Williamson, 2007). Nonetheless, demand-side approaches in international business remain in their infancy (Gulati, Puranam, & Tushman, 2012), and research from this new perspective is needed for a more complete understanding of how the interaction of organizations within innovation ecosystems influences internationalization. Such research can enrich the international business field. 2. Examples of research themes and questions for the Special Issue Some illustrative (but not exclusive) demand-side research questions that would be appropriate for this special issue include: • How do multinational organizations develop demand-side advantages with ordinary resources? • What conditions facilitate the transfer of user-innovation knowledge in multinational organizations? • How do multinational organizations drive cross-border innovation ecosystems? • What conditions influence the internationalization of innovation ecosystems? • How does the internationalization of innovation ecosystems influence the development of new technologies? • How do global nonprofit organizations and social enterprises support innovation ecosystems with cross-border collaborations? • To what extent does collaboration within an innovation ecosystem enhance the internationalization prospects of emerging market multinationals? • How might demand-side approaches help extend the knowledge-based and resource-based views of multinational organizations? • To what extent could institutional theory help explain the management of innovation ecosystems across borders? • How might traditional international business theoretical frameworks such as the Uppsala internationalization model benefit from demand-based approaches? 3. Submission Instructions The deadline for submission of manuscripts is November 20, 2013. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with Journal of International Management's Style Guide for Authors:

Many see emerging technologies as a solution vector for the global challenges of the twenty-first century. Today's emerging technologies include: computational sciences; nanotechnology; micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS); bio-fuels; mobile technologies and a host of others. Yet an adequate understanding of their commercial, policy, environmental, ethical and societal implications lags far behind the development of their science and technology. The authors in this issue discuss the challenges presented by the commercial considerations of emerging technologies. If emerging technologies are critical to solving the largest problems facing the world, then better techniques are needed: for their management, to create policy and educate professionals to commercialize and govern them. This special issue presents the work of a number of researchers that helps to fill this gap. Some initial solutions such as radically improving current techniques and generating new ones are presented, and each author provides future research pathways. The issue contains also a practitioners' insight on learning to manage emerging technologies claiming that Successful emerging technology-based solutions must: 1) solve an immediate need that could not be solved in any other way, or 2) produce products with exceptional new value, many times at a greatly reduced cost, or 3) respond uniquely to a new regulation, or 4) require an influential lead user in combination with a stable emerging technology.

Please see below for detailed information. April 19-21, 2013 Saint Louis University St. Louis, MO 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. AGENDA Friday, April 19 6:00pm-8:00pm Welcome Reception at Bannister House Saturday, April 20 8:30am Check-In and Breakfast 9:00am Keynote and Simulation Part I 2:00pm Lunch 1:00pm Simulation Part II 3:00pm Design Thinking and Group Discussions 5:30pm End Sunday, April 21 8:00am Breakfast 8:30am Continue Group Discussion 11:00am Groups Present 12:00pm Lunch 1:30pm End FOR MORE INFORMATION:

(Visiting appointments will also be considered.) The Department of Management consists of 16 full-time faculty members with an impressive range of research and teaching expertise in micro- and macro- areas of management. We encourage intellectual discussions that cut across traditional research areas. We expect our faculty to actively engage in high quality research that is publishable in top outlets, and we support these efforts.

The candidate should have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in research and teaching in OB. The position will be in Blacksburg, which is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Appalachian Trail. Blacksburg's beauty and temperate climate is attractive to many. Blacksburg also has high quality primary and secondary schools (K-12) as well as a relatively low cost of living.

cmbarnes@vt.edu -------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleagues: We are conducting a meta-analysis relating to the high performance work system-business performance relationship. We would greatly appreciate your help in locating unpublished manuscripts, working papers, conference papers, dissertations, and papers in press to include in our analysis. We are searching for any unpublished work that empirically examines the relationship between high performance work systems (HPWSs)/HR systems and plant-level or firm-level financial or operational organizational performance. More specifically, any unpublished work would be relevant if it:: (1) measures the use of a HPWS or HR system or examines the impact of an additive or multiplicative index of high performance work practices (HPWPs)/HR practices AND (2) measures either financial or operational performance at either the plant-/establishment-/facility-level or firm-/organizational-level AND (3) reports effect size estimates between the above measures/variables. Please send any unpublished manuscripts (including descriptives, correlation matrix, reliability coefficients, details of measures of independent and dependent variables, and sample characteristics) that you think could possibly meet the above criteria to
tanja.rabl@uni-bayreuth.de preferably before April 2nd. Your work will be a valuable contribution to our meta-analysis and will be cited in our paper. Many thanks in advance for your assistance. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
