Call for papers:
Leveraging Users as Innovators: Managing the Creative Potential of Individual Consumers
Submission 1st February 2014
Guest Editors
Marcel Bogers, University of Southern Denmark
Ian P. McCarthy, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Leyland Pitt, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Users have long been identified as important external sources of corporate innovation (von Hippel, 1976; Lettl, 2007; Gales and Mansour-Cole, 1995). Research has focused on both intermediate users (e.g., user firms or B2B) and final consumer users (e.g., end users/communities or B2C) as sources of innovative products and services (Bogers et al., 2010). This special issue focuses on how firms can leverage the different types of (groups of) individual consumers who undertake user innovation to produce new products and services (Berthon et al., 2007).
Recent research has highlighted the innovation potential of individual consumers who, in the UK, spend more time and money on innovation than all UK consumer product firms combined (von Hippel et al., 2012). Also, with the growing interest in open innovation (Chesbrough, 2003; Chesbrough et al., 2006), an increasing number of mechanisms, such as crowdsourcing (Poetz and Schreier, 2012) and social media (Kietzmann et al., 2011), exist to harness this potential. Such trends have major implications for innovation management education (Horwitch and Stohr, 2012) and thus offer numerous opportunities for interesting scholarly inquiry (see: West and Bogers, forthcoming). Consequently, this special issue's topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following:
- How can firms identify, evaluate, acquire and exploit the innovation-related knowledge produced by individual consumers? What processes should organizations employ to effectively learn from user innovators? How does user innovation by individuals impact the modes of learning, knowledge management and innovation in organizations?
- How do organizations promote and control user innovation? How do organizations measure the costs and benefits of learning and innovation outcomes and how can they design their organization and business models to profit from the creative potential of users, while also mitigating possible drawbacks and costs?
- To what extent and how are the boundaries of the firm affected when firms integrate users in their innovation process? What kinds of new organizational forms are arising to facilitate user innovation and how do these challenge our extant understanding of how to organize innovation activities? What are the implications for incumbent firms, when users start up their own business?
- How do we characterize different products and services to understand their impact on user innovation opportunities and challenges and their impact on the associated learning and knowledge management issues for organizations?
- How do the characteristics of different types of innovation (e.g., product, service, process, organization, marketing, etc.), as well as different types of user innovators (e.g., creative consumers, lead users, laggards, hackers, pirates, user designers, phreakers and jail breakers), influence how innovation takes place? How do these characteristics influence the learning and knowledge management opportunities/challenges faced by organizations? Such characteristics include the motivations of user innovators, the types of innovation activity they undertake (e.g., legal vs. illegal, incremental vs. radical) and how they innovate (e.g., individual vs. in communities).
- How does context (e.g., different industry types and different country cultures) affect the process of user innovation and the opportunities for organizations?
- Prior research on user innovation has paid a lot of attention to the commercial role of for-profit firms and the benefits for them. It has also largely focused on the actions of consumers involved with certain types of products (e.g., sports products, fashion apparel and consumers electronics). Consequently, we know less about user innovation activity in setting such as social innovation, green innovation, services and not for profit settings.
- Intellectual property (IP) is central to many forms of innovation. How does IP promote or inhibit user innovation? How does IP benefit or disadvantage those involved in user innovation?
Submission guidelines and important dates:
Papers should contain original research contributions that demonstrate the rigor emphasized in the editorial statement of the Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M). We welcome contributions from various disciplines, including engineering, science and management, and different types of papers, including empirical and conceptual.

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
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.
The anticipated table of contents is listed below:

INTRODUCTION:
e-Government evolution has been based on the implementation of ambitious public programmes, that reflect Government strategic planning and the respective political frameworks. E-Government programmes concern extensive funding for telecommunication networks, software applications, information systems, training, change management, interoperability frameworks etc.
Several complex projects are generated by these programmes, which involve multiple disciplines and stakeholders. In this context, project management is necessary to secure project success.
Today, project management standards and theory provide with useful instructions and tools all major industries –i.e. construction, engineering, software, healthcare- and classify projects respectively, suggesting that e- Government projects could structure a district project category. Indeed, most e-Government projects require special knowledge and disciplines; they are large scale and cross-organization or even supranational, while at the same time many are innovative and politically ambitious. Moreover, e- Government project success demands social adoption beyond projectʼs successful implementation.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
This issue aims to present recent theories and practices regarding management of e-Government projects. More specifically, it aims to answer the following questions:
- Do e-Government projects concern a district novel industry
and in this context they have to be managed differently ?
- Do project management standards (i.e., PMBOK, ICB etc.) and
methods (i.e. PRINCE) are efficient for managing an e-Government project or they must be extended accordingly?
- How public organizations measure e-Government progress and
success? Are existing indexes and models effective for e-Government assessment?
- Which are the best practices derived from various
international practices regarding e-Government project management? (various case studies could be presented)
- How differently public organizations deal with e-Government
project management? More specifically, which aspects and attributes of a project a large organization does prioritize (i.e., the OECD, the European Commission, the UN) in comparison to a small organization (i.e. a Municipality)?
RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited
to) the following:
- Recent trends in e-Government project management
- Project Management Standards with regard to e-Government
- Manage success and failures in e-Government projects
- Measuring e-Government projectsʼ progress
- Theoretical frameworks for e-Government project control,
maintenance and extension
- Managing people in e-Government projects
- E-Government projects as user labs
- Cases in e-Government project management
- E-Government project complexity
- Requirements engineering for e-Government projects

Call for Submissions to the 2013 AOM Professional Development Workshop (PDW) titled "Trust between Individuals and Organizations"
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 9 2013 12:00PM - 3:00PM at WDW Yacht and Beach Club Resort in Cape Cod D (Lake Buena Vista, Florida)
Organizer: Oliver Schilke; U. of California, Los Angeles;
Facilitator: Reinhard Bachmann; U. of Surrey;
Facilitator: Sharon Belenzon; Duke U.;
Facilitator: Steven C Currall; U. of California, Davis;
Facilitator: Chris P. Long; Georgetown U.;
Facilitator: Roger C Mayer; North Carolina State U.;
Facilitator: Bill McEvily; U. of Toronto;
Facilitator: Keith Murnighan; Northwestern U.;
Facilitator: Michele Williams; Cornell U.;
Facilitator: Lynne G Zucker; U. of California, Los Angeles
Please be invited to submit discussion questions (segment 1) and/or work-in-progress papers on trust (segment 2)!
(1) The first segment starts with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars present their views on the hotly debated issue of whether organizations are "able" to trust. The goal of the panel discussion is to make explicit divergent assumptions, and to develop a richer repertoire of arguments for and against organizations as social actors with trusting abilities. Subsequently, the workshop breaks into groups that will discuss questions previously submitted by workshop participants. A requirement for registration for the PDW is to submit at least one discussion question in advance pertaining to current issues in the study of trust between individuals and organizations (see below for details on how to submit). Questions may relate (but are not limited)
to: • Dynamic evolution of trust over time • Relationships between interpersonal and interorganizational trust • Trade-offs between methods of trust research • Difficulties in the measurement of trust • Detrimental consequences of (interpersonal or interorganizational) trust • Substitutes for trust • Underexplored sources of trust • Context-specificity of trust • Distinct types of trust • Interactions between trust and distrust • Avenues to trust repair
(2) After a short break, the second segment of the program consists of a paper development workshop, in which the facilitators provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress trust research previously submitted by workshop participants. These papers should ideally be close to submission to a scholarly management journal and must not exceed 40 double-spaced pages.
Registration requirements: For segment 1 (discussion): Submit at least one discussion question by email to trustpdw@gmail.com no later than August 2, 2013. For segment 2 (paper development):
Submit your working paper by email to trustpdw@gmail.com no later than July 19, 2013. You will then receive a code that will allow you to register for the PDW. Remember that you can register for segment 1, segment 2, or both.

Technology continues to transform the way in which organizations manage their human capital and deliver human resource functionality. Because of the increasing interest by researchers on role of technology on human capital management (cf. Dineen & Noe, 2009; Stone & Dulebohn, 2013), and because of an increasing interest in the strategic potential of electronic human resources management (eHRM) (cf. Lepak & Snell, 1998; Strohmeier, 2007; Marler & Fisher, 2013), it is important for the field to pause and take stake of our current knowledge on eHRM. Thus, the goal of this PDW is to bring together both eHRM experts and those with an interest in conducting eHRM research and to engage in discussions about the current state of research and the types of research questions necessitated by the continued advances in technology. The PDW will focus on topics such as e-Recruiting, e-Selection, e-learning/training, HR Administration, International Issues and eHRM, diversity and multiculturalism, social media, and privacy. The PDW will last two hours and is designed to be interactive. Following a brief introduction, participants will break into groups where they can discuss these topics, developing research on each of the above topics. Following these brief discussions each table will briefly discuss the key research needs moving forward. We will then have a brief conversation wrapping up the PDW.

Good morning!
Apologies for cross-posting
Do you know students who want to create their own future?
Their future starts with an idea. Whatever that idea is, we have an opportunity to help them turn it into a reality. USASBE Launch! (http://www.usasbelaunch.com/) is a competition for any undergraduate student that focuses on developing impactful ideas, then testing assumptions in the field and wrapping a validated business model around that idea. If your students have an idea, or an idea for an idea, we have a systematic way to develop that idea into a viable and innovative business model, which is a dynamic representation of how a company creates, delivers and captures value.
Our process will help them increase the chance of launching a sustainable business venture; no matter if they're an artist, a scientist, a dreamer, a doer, a square or a circle, a suit or a mutant . . . this process will bring their idea to life. We will provide a variety of workshops and bootcamps for students to learn about the different tools and methodologies to start and grow a new venture. The competition will reward those students who can develop and execute a business model at the highest level with cash, services, and opportunities for high quality mentoring relationships. We have created and are continuing to create partnerships with a tremendous group of companies to provide access to a variety of critical resources.
Your students can create their own future, and we can help. Students should start thinking of ideas today. Later in April (or early May), we will put together a few virtual bootcamps/workshops to introduce students to the toolkit we recommend they use, but the future is theirs to build and they can do it however they see fit. The end result needs to be action and measurable results - sales, LOIs, etc. The earlier they start, the better their success!
Thank you for helping spread the word of this great opportunity. If you have any questions or ideas, please let me know.
