Perspectives on Human Capital and Assets: Building the Foundation for a Multi-Disciplinary, Multi-Level Theory
Edited by Meir Russ, published by Palgrave-Macmillan
Call for Book Chapter Proposals (Due May 15, 2013)
The effective employment and deployment of intellectual capital and human assets in organizations is widely recognized as a critical characteristic of successful economies and organizations. Their abilities to respond to changing environments, to "learn," and to be efficient and competitive all depend, to some extent, on the individuals in their boundaries. It is the management of those individuals, in a way that is consistent with the goals and policies of the entities, that creates value for the organization and results in the creation of human capital as an asset that will be the focus of this book. Many organizations and their executives realize that the critical source of competencies, capabilities and sustainable competitive advantage is not only having the most ingenious product or service, the most exceptional strategy, or the most state-of-the-art technology, but also having the ability to attract, retain, develop and manage its human assets. The study of human capital and assets originated in economics and was later advanced by accounting, human resource, behavioral perspectives, and management, among many others. Being a multilevel construct that is studied from multiple perspectives, it is not surprising that there is no agreement on the definitions or on a method to measure and to value human capital.
A number of developments are making human assets management and measurement increasingly salient to today's executives including changing characteristics of the labor force, the rapid pace of technological innovation, greater international competition, new experiments with organizational structures, and greater attention to customers' relationships. From an economic perspective, the focus on human assets might be even more important. The inability of the financial markets to monetize human (or for that matter any other intellectual) assets results in major market failure. More than 80% of developed countries' economies (as measured by the GDP) are intangibles. Still, the present accounting system in those countries recognizes the value of very few intangible assets (e.g. patents, trademarks, etc.) or only in special circumstances (e.g., goodwill at sale), requiring questionable accounting and/or development of new standards (e.g. FASB statement 142 in the US). Fortunately, the financial markets recognize this issue by providing close to zero returns to financial and tangible assets and searching urgently for new sources of income and/or opportunities for value monetization. The increasing pace of economic bubbles and the high level of unemployment and under-employment, especially of the younger generation is another indicator of a desperately needed solution for this market failure. Despite this urgent need, the effectiveness of these embryonic attempts to develop monetizing methods became questionable. As such, it became painfully clear that we are absent of a comprehensive, unifying theory and, more importantly, a reliable, transparent and widely accepted measurement system for the valuation of Human Capital and Assets (HC&A). Research needs to be done at the macro, mezzo and micro level (including multiple levels), from numerous perspectives and disciplines, focusing on different and diverse units of analysis (country, region, organization, groups and individuals).
The book will go beyond the current literature by providing a platform for a broad scope of theory building discussion regarding HC&A, and, more importantly, by encouraging a multidisciplinary fusion between diverse disciplines. Specifically, this call for proposals is soliciting chapter proposals from a multidisciplinary array of scholars that can contribute to one or more of the following theoretical perspectives/disciplines: Economic, Economic Development, Financial, Accounting, Systems-Networks, Behavioral, Human Resources and Social. Multi-level and multi-discipline theoretical breakthrough chapters are strongly encouraged. When appropriate, plurality of empirical methods from diverse disciplines that can enhance the building of a holistic theory of HC&A are strongly encouraged.

OPEN INNOVATION THROUGH STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
Refik Culpan, Editor, Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg, Middletown, PA 17057, USA
Email: rculpan@psu.edu Phone: 717 948 6166
INTRODUCTION
Since Henry Chesbrough coined the term "open innovation" and introduced it as imperative for creating and profiting from technology in 2006, there has been growing recognition of open innovation business models among academicians and business managers. Consequently, publications on the exploration, application, and assessment of open innovation have spurred in recent years. There is almost consensus among scholars and practitioners that open innovation provides firms an opportunity for knowledge building and expansion resulting in competitive advantages and above-average returns. One of the major means of achieving open innovation has been strategic alliances between firms, and between firms and research institutions. This edited book will contribute to our understanding of open innovation through interfirm partnerships by demonstrating its principal forms, dynamics, processes, cases, issues, and challenges in different industries in national and international contexts.
Purpose: Create an authoritative source of fine collection of manuscripts examining open innovation concepts and applications within the context of interfirm relationships.
Coverage: Scholarly conceptual and empirical studies as well as extensive illustrative cases.
Target Audience: The book is intended to appeal graduate and senior undergraduate level students in business administration and engineering management, as well as business executives.

HICSS-47 Call for papers for the minitrack on: "SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES IN COLLABORATION RESEARCH"
Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track of the Forty-Fifth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) Maui, HI - January 6 - 9, 2014
Note: May 15: OPTIONAL: Abstracts submitted to Minitrack Chairs for
guidance, indication of appropriate content and to receive instructions on submitting full paper; June 15: Full papers uploaded in the directory of the appropriate
minitrack.
Papers are invited for the minitrack on "Social & Psychological Perspectives in Collaboration Research" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
One of the major assets of any organization is its people. Understanding of the people and their social, psychological, cultural, and emotional environment helps organizations develop systems and processes that can lead to a productive workplace. Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which an understanding of people is the critical link that is needed in order to survive and thrive in today's competitive environment.
Technology supported collaboration and communication between individuals entails complex social and psychological situations. An understanding of social and psychological aspects of collaboration is essential to creating and sustaining productive work environments. The use of collaboration and communication systems and the consequences of such use are framed by the psychological and social factors concerning the users and their work environment. It is important to understand these factors to successfully facilitate the sustained implementation and use of these technologies.
Further, knowledge of the psycho-social aspects of technology-supported collaboration and communication also assists in detecting, avoiding, and effectively resolving the issues that may arise from using such technologies. Thus, it is essential to study the psycho-social issues surrounding the design and usage of these technologies.
Modern collaboration technologies, including but not limited to Social Media and Web 2.0, offer various ways to connect, collaborate, form communities, and share information and knowledge. As many organizations are figuring out productive ways to create value from collaborative networks, researchers have intensified efforts to understand and design ways in which communication technologies can support both work-related and pleasure related activities. Such research often involves or requires psychosocial perspectives.
Thus, this minitrack provides one of the key international platforms to host research papers and presentations that provide a social/psychological perspective on studying issues related to the dynamic interplay between people, their environment, and the collaboration technologies they use. Some examples of areas which can be a part of the minitrack include:
. Personality, behavioral, and social factors related to communication and collaboration in co-located and distributed groups . Social and psychological effects of using systems to support collaboration
. Attractions and affiliations in groups arising from use of social networks . Team/group psychology and use of communication technologies . Effects and consequences of personality on system design and use . Psycho-social factors influencing acceptance and implementation of collaboration technologies . Virtual leadership and leadership at a distance . Online aggression and violence . Motivating employees to adopt, create, use collaborative work practices . Correlations between organizational performance and attention to human capital . Influence of communication technologies on perceptions of self and others . Emotion and networking technologies . Social and interpersonal implications of communications over cyberspace . Internet dependencies and addictions . Online evaluations and assessments of social and psychological well being . Interpersonal treatment with the use of online technologies . Human Resource practices online (e.g. performance appraisal, hiring and firing, job analysis) . Altruism, conformity, and other social factors in online communications
However, the above examples do not provide a comprehensive overview. We invite any paper that contains original research highlighting the human component in collaboration and communication technologies. There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature.
Broad themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome):
. Social psychology (e.g. Motivation, Trust, Social learning, Self efficacy, Behavioral theories) . Organizational psychology (e.g. Self monitoring, Interpersonal treatment, OCBs, Globalization) . Cultural psychology . Personality . Leadership . Prejudice and discrimination . Attitudes and social intelligence . Violence and aggression . Attractions and affiliations in groups . Group psychology (e.g. Social loafing, . Mood and emotions . Diversity . Internet use and social/psychological well being . Sexual harassment . Performance appraisal

HICSS-47 Call for papers for the minitrack on: "CREATIVITY IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS" Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track of the Forty-Seventh Annual Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) Maui - January 6- 9, 2014
Note: May 15: OPTIONAL: Abstracts submitted to Minitrack Chairs for
guidance, indication of appropriate content and to receive instructions on submitting full paper; June 15: Full papers uploaded in the directory of the appropriate
minitrack.
Papers are invited for the minitrack on "CREATIVITY IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
Innovation is a critical force in organizational performance and survival. Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which creativity and innovation are needed in order to cope with situational and economic pressures and frequent changes. Designers and Developers of organizational systems must therefore innovate almost continuously to keep the organization aligned with such changes. Creativity is a critical pre-condition for innovation. Generating novel and creative ideas are the key to innovation and growth in every organization today. Providing employees, customers and partners with tools to think creatively has been proven to increase innovation in organizations. Research shows that organizations which have established skill-bases and tools for creativity outperform the competition in terms of revenue, rolling out new products, innovation and growth. Though organizations deploy groups for most creative processes, there has been little research in the area of group creativity. Most creative research is focused on individual factors affecting creativity. Many challenges that arise from pursuing creativity in teams remain unexplored.
This minitrack provides one of the key international platforms on which the following issues can be discussed:
1. Methods & techniques to improve creativity in co-located and distributed groups
2. Design and Evaluation of Systems and technology for enhancing creativity
3. Challenges and opportunities for creativity in teams
4. Theoretical foundations for creativity at individual, group and organizational levels
5. Practical approaches to foster creativity at individual, group and organizational levels
6. The creation and implementation of innovations in teams and organizations
7. Factors affecting creativity in teams and organizations
8. Building team-based organizations
9. Multi-level issues of creativity in teams and organizations
10. Research linking individual creativity to group level creativity and organizational level innovation
11. Multi-disciplinary approaches to creativity
12. Creative collaboration between business partners and customers (e.g. co-creation of products and services)
Thus, papers are welcome that contain original ideas on how to improve creativity and innovation through all phases of problem-solving: Understanding a problem, devising potential solutions, evaluating alternatives, making choices, making plans, taking action, and after-action review. We seek papers that suggest methodical, technical, theoretical, or practical improvements for realizing creative ideas in the workforce as innovations, for an organization cannot benefit from its creativity until its ideas are implemented.
There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature.
Themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome):
Creativity techniques and approaches
Creativity methods & techniques to improve creativity in co-located and distributed groups
Measuring the effectiveness of creativity techniques and approaches
Creativity in patterns of collaboration (divergence, convergence, organization, evaluation, and consensus building)

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

Aard Groen en Steve Walsh, professors of Innovative Entrepreneurship (Groen) and Renewal of Industry (Walsh) at the University of Twente, guest-edited the March 2013 issue of Creativity and Innovation Management Special on Emerging Technology Management. 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.

Call for Papers-Special Issue of South Asian Journal of Global Business Research
Entrepreneurship Inside (and Outside) the Classroom: A South Asian Perspective
Entrepreneurship education is a powerful phenomenon in academic institutions and research outlets around the world (Fayolle, 2010; Neck & Greene, 2011; West, Gatewood, & Shaver, 2009). This interest has recently spilled over to South Asia[i], which is one of the world's most dynamic, fastest-growing and populous regions in the world (Bloom, 2012; Ghani, 2010; Khilji, 2012; World Bank, 2010). As a result, many new approaches are being implemented in South Asia to educate students about and engage them in entrepreneurship (Frederick, 2007; Muhammad, Akbar, &Dalziel, 2011). This special issue serves to inform the field of 'entrepreneurship education' by exploring it from institutional, structural, and individual perspectives within the South Asian context. We define entrepreneurship education as any knowledge-based activity designed to provide a learning or practical opportunity for students to engage with entrepreneurial behavior. Broadly speaking, the purpose of this special issue is to focus on entrepreneurship education in South Asia and inform entrepreneurship education practice, policy and research globally. More specifically, the purpose of this special issue is to highlight the practice of and strategies behind entrepreneurship education in South Asian universities, and the effectiveness of those practices and strategies.
Current, Western methods of teaching entrepreneurship are considered dated and not always economically or technologically feasible in the South Asian context (e.g., Neck & Greene, 2011). We thus solicit research that generates a comprehensive understanding of the domain of entrepreneurship education within the South Asia context by extending key debates and beginning new debates with provocative questions.
This special issue will benefit the field by addressing the following types of research questions. Theoretical and empirical (qualitative and quantitative, longitudinal, etc.) submissions, essays, interviews, and other contributions covering these or related research questions are welcome:
· What is the new paradigm of entrepreneurship education? How does it apply to South Asia?
· What economic and cultural factors influence the development and implementation of entrepreneurship education programs in South Asian universities?
· How can we effectively teach entrepreneurship, which focuses on the heroic figure, in collectivist South Asian economies?
· What perspectives (i.e., ethics, sustainability) should be integrated for developing a holistic approach to entrepreneurship education (in South Asia and globally)?
· Should entrepreneurship education programs lead the way in integrating issues concerning social and environmental stewardship into curriculum?
· Can passion for entrepreneurship be taught using a holistic pedagogy that integrates intellectual learning with physical and emotional/spiritual learning?
· What non-business disciplines should entrepreneurship educators collaborate with to produce practical and value-added educational experiences for students and future entrepreneurs?
· What are the transformative ways entrepreneur practitioners can be integrated into the classroom?
· How do we identify an entrepreneurship programs' impact, to understand the optimal composition of the program components to promote entrepreneurship in South Asia?
· Can we (if yes, how) develop entrepreneurship education programs that are transferable to indigenous entrepreneurial ecosystems across South Asia and other regions of the world?
Deadlines:
Full Paper deadline (8000 words) via Scholar One to SAJGBR: April 22, 2013. These papers will be double blind reviewed before being accepted for publication.

Challenges in health care management - Are we ready for what comes next?
Abstracts due 31 May 2013
The economy we live in is constantly changing. Technology fuels challenging developments like digitalization, the internet of things, smart objects or cloud computing. No less significant are changes derived from the mindset of people interacting with those technologies. Producers, customers and users face rising complexity in technologies and handle steadily increasing amounts of information. At the same time, societies understand the need for a greener way of life and the importance of aligning their actions with strategies of sustainability. In the face of demographical change, the challenge is to create and provide products and services that address the needs of the aging population.
In this vibrant economic framework, changes tremendously influence man's most valuable asset: health. The health care sector is affected by the trends of technology push and shift of needs, but also affects the economic systems of regions and countries in return. The digitalization of society reduces information asymmetries between patients and medical experts. Patient empowerment challenges the patient-physician relationship. However, it is also a chance to integrate patients in decision-making or product development. As health care technologies become smarter and easier to use, the point of care shifts from hospitals to homes. With aging populations, the demand for health care services and its costs increase continuously. The societal trend towards "acting green" impacts medical supplies, medical products and even hospitals. All players need to enhance their sustainable use of resources. In the conflict of scarce resources and increasing demand, efficiency seems to be a decisive lever t o meet the challenges. Stakeholders like governmental or regulatory bodies, providers, suppliers and patients have to align their strategies and actions to achieve the common goal of efficiency.
The following book draws a vital picture of current challenges in health care management. Essays from different stakeholder perspectives summarize pressing hot topics and analyze their future potential in order to derive managerial implications.
General societal and systematic aspects:
• Adoption and diffusion of innovations in the health care system
• Acceptance and use of technology in health care
• Business models in different health care systems
• Trends in health care marketing
• Ecological issues in health care
• Economic trends in health care
Specific societal and systematic aspects:
• Low-cost innovations in health care
• E-health and telemedicine: experiences, opportunities & limitations
• Approaches to increase efficiency in health care provision (e.g., competition in health insurance, managed care)
• Approaches to improve the quality of care (e.g., physician incentive schemes, pay-for-performance)
Patient perspective:
• Consumer choice in health care (e.g., information requirements, social media aspects)
• Patient perception and valuation of health care quality
• Shared decision-making and patient integration
Provider perspective (e.g., hospital):
• Hospital competition: strategies and impact on health care provision
• Knowledge transfer in medical teams
• Stakeholder integration in decision-making for new technologies
• Green hospitals
• Managing occupational health
Supplier perspective (e.g., MedTech company):

Succeeding in Emerging and Developing Markets: Understanding How Institutions Impact Firms and Managers Faculty Development Workshop June 11-14, 2013 At the George Washington University, Washington, DC
Offered by: The George Washington University Center for International Business Education & Research (GW-CIBER)
The Workshop
Join us for a workshop designed to equip international business educators with an in-depth understanding of how institutions shape the strategies of firms and managers in developing and emerging countries. In these markets, international institutions play a prominent role, and local institutions are often informal, in transition, or non-existent. Explore how weak institutions create particular challenges, such as corruption, political risk, regulatory obstacles, social divisions, and civil strife – and the ways firms and managers can cope with these issues. Examine how non-governmental organizations (NGOs), social entrepreneurs, diaspora communities, and multilateral organizations strive to strengthen institutions in these markets and how these new institutional forms affect firms and managers. Past topics have included: what are institutions and why are the important for development; interactive case discussions: "Mobile Oil in Indonesia," "The Untouchable Watercarrier," and "BRAC and Arrong Brands"; using the World Bank's "Doing Business In" indicators in the classroom; financial capital challenges in developing countries; coping with corrupt business environments.
Teaching & Research Resource Materials
Articles; Cases; Syllabi; In-class exercises; Videos; Internet exercises; PowerPoint Slides

Do you have a great paper that seems to be going nowhere? A paper that has been rejected from a journal or two, is under R&R, or almost ready for submission but there is a conceptual and/or empirical issue that you would appreciate getting advice from a senior faculty member? Do you have a great empirical result but a theoretical contribution that does not seem to be sufficient for an A-level journal? Are you having trouble deciding how to develop your paper because you received contradicting reviews? Are there any outlets you did not consider? Is there a potential theoretical contribution that you have missed? Or is it time to put the article in the back of your file drawer and stop throwing good time after bad?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, this PDW is for you!
Several senior, highly experienced scholars will help you make this decision, and give you some direction.
This Professional Development Workshop is addressed to junior scholars who seek to further improve their research. Specifically, it seeks to help scholars who are struggling with the development of a paper and need to decide whether and how to continue and invest time in the paper or bite the bullet and let it go.

Please excuse the cross postings.
We are writing to seek your assistance in a research project relating to dynamic capabilities research.
Over the past year we have been using machine-based text analysis software to examine 107 published papers on the topic (up to and including 2011).
Our work goes beyond a number of recent citation-based papers and looks at the nature of the text, the meaning of the concepts utilized and their relationships. At this point we are interested in supplementing this machine-based work with a short survey of those scholars working in the field. The goal is not just to see the degree to which the viewpoint of scholars aligns with that discovered by text analysis but also the degree to which there is consistency or heterogeneity in the field as to the key aspects of dynamic capabilities.
The link below directs you to the survey. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. This is a very general call to management scholars, particularly PhD students and others who are working in the field but may not have published their work (as we have already completed this survey with those whose papers we have analyzed).
We should also note that the point of the survey is to provide two different perspectives on an interpretation of the literature and hence there is no right or wrong way to answer the survey. You can access the survey at the link below. You are also free to pass this onto graduate students and others working in the field.

We thank you in advance for your participation and should you want more detail on the survey and the paper please feel free to contact us. We will be presenting this work a number of conferences this year, including SMS in Atlanta.
Yours Sincerely,
Timothy Devinney, Grahame Dowling & Ralf Wilden

Call for Applicants: Doctoral Student Workshop 11th West Coast Research Symposium on Technology Entrepreneurship
A one-day Doctoral Student Workshop will be presented in conjunction with the 11th West Coast Research Symposium on Technology Entrepreneurship. The workshop is sponsored by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
Event: Doctoral Student Workshop on Technology Entrepreneurship
Location: Foster School of Business, University of Washington
Date: Weds. September 4, 2013 (Research Symposium follows on September 5th and 6th)
We invite doctoral students to submit applications to attend this workshop. Sessions will focus on technology entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on contemporary work in the field. Faculty mentors include Kathy Eisenhardt (Stanford), Suresh Kotha (University of Washington), Alan Meyer (University of Oregon), Nandini Rajagopalan (USC), and others.
The workshop offers an intellectually stimulating experience, maps the theoretical domain of technology entrepreneurship, and builds community. Workshop participants will have opportunities to present their own research interests, to interact with each other, and to get acquainted with faculty members. To apply, see the website: http://faculty.bschool.washington.edu/skotha/wcrs/doctorialconsortium.html
The doctoral student workshop offers two separate tracks. Track 1 is designed for doctoral students who have not yet defended a dissertation proposal and who may still be in the process of selecting a dissertation topic. This track will devote attention to the selection of a dissertation topic, research design, and sources of data. Track 2 is intended for students who have defended dissertation proposals (or who are close to doing so). This track will devote attention to completing the dissertation, publishing the dissertation, and early career considerations. The two tracks will join together for selected workshop sessions/panels and for all meals.
All students chosen for the workshop will be invited to attend the two-day Research Symposium that follows on September 5th and 6th. The symposium will showcase cutting-edge work by technology entrepreneurship researchers from the West Coast and around the world. Details on the research symposium are available at the WCRS website: http://theWCRS.org. Each student attendee will be provided with a $250 travel stipend, as well as all meals and three nights lodging (double occupancy). Applicants focusing on the nexus of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship will be given preference.
The 2013 conference will be hosted by the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, at the University of Washington, Seattle. This is a great opportunity for doctoral students to learn from leading scholars and contemporary work in the field. We hope to see you in Seattle!
