Proposal Submission Due Date: August 10, 2013 PAPER SUBMISSION DUE DATE: October 31, 2013
SPECIAL ISSUE ON e-Government Efficiency and Return-of-Investment International Journal of Public Administration in the Digital Age (IJPADA)
Guest Editor: Leonidas G. Anthopoulos
Technological Education Institute of Thessaly, Greece
INTRODUCTION:
e-Government evolution has been based on ambitious strategies and on extensive funding on complex programmes in order to achieve in contextual
objectives: simplified access to public services; openness; accountability; transparency; citizen engagement. In U.S.A. only, Federal Government has invested an annual amount of $70 billion on ICT during the last decade.
However, the outcomes from these investments are questioned. For instance, in Europe the objective of the 20 common public services that has been identified in 1999 under the e-Europe strategies, has not yet been achieved by all member States. On the other hand, citizen expectations have not been met and e-Government adoption is low at an average international level.
Various investigations (i.e., by the American Customer Satisfaction Index
(ACSI)) show a steady but low improvement regarding citizen expectations, which cannot be easily justified by the invested capitals.
Enterprises evaluate the efficiency of an investment with various methods, such as Net Present Value, Return of Investment etc. Although Governments do not invest with similar perspectives to the private sector, scholars argue about the earned value from e-Government investments, while it is important to evaluate Government efficiency and e-Government outcomesʼ achievement compared to the invested capitals.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
This issue aims to collect and present recent findings with regard to e- Government progress and to explain whether a return-of-investment (ROI) method or other similar methods are appropriate to be applied on e- Government spending evaluation. More specifically, it aims to answer the following questions:
- How much Governments are being or have been invested on e-Government
in different countries or regions?
- How differently international organizations (i.e., United Nations,
OECD, World Bank, European Commission etc.) measure e-Government efficiency?
- How can e-Government success be measured with regard to public
spending?
- What measures/indexes are appropriate to measure Government
efficiencyʼs change with regard to e-Government?
- Has e-Government spending resulted in a better Government?
These questions become more important to be answered due to the recent fiscal recession, which influences political decisions regarding public investments.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited
to) the following:
- Accountability, openness, transparency and public service progress
with regard to e-Government investments.
- Measuring e-Government efficiency, success and adoption
- Case Studies regarding e-Government investments
- E-Government program management
- Government investment evaluation methods
- e-Government earned value measurement methods
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a proposal regarding the topic they plan to develop on or before August 10, 2013. Full papers for this special theme issue on e-Government Efficiency and Return-of-Investment must be submitted on or before October 31, 2013. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNALʼS GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf.
All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis.
Papers must follow APA style for reference citations.

Special Issue: South Asian Journal of Global Business Research (SAJGBR)
Abstracts (3 pages) should be submitted by July 15, 2013
Entrepreneurship is a powerful economic and social phenomenon exploding around the world, although its impact in emerging economies is still being investigated. 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 by exploring the entrepreneurial process from institutional, structural, and individual perspectives within the South Asian context. Broadly speaking, the purpose of this special issue is to focus on entrepreneurship in South Asia and inform entrepreneurship practice, policy and research globally. More specifically, the purposes of this special issue are to highlight the practice of and strategies behind entrepreneurship in South Asian countries, and the effectiveness of those practices and strategies.
Current, Western methods and beliefs of entrepreneurship are considered dated and not always economically or technologically feasible in the South Asian context. We thus solicit research that generates a comprehensive understanding of the domain of entrepreneurship 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 are the new paradigms of entrepreneurship? How does it apply to South Asia?
· What economic and cultural factors influence entrepreneurship in South Asian cultures?
· How can we effectively teach and practice entrepreneurship, which focuses on the heroic figure, in collectivist South Asian economies?
· How should emerging economies balance state and private capital in supporting entrepreneurial activity?
· What perspectives (i.e., ethics, sustainability) should be integrated for developing a holistic approach to entrepreneurship education (in South Asia and globally)?
· How can entrepreneurship reduce poverty in emerging economies?
· What are the transformative ways entrepreneurs can be integrated into the classroom?
· How do we identify an entrepreneurship program's impact, to understand the optimal composition of the program components to promote entrepreneurship in South Asia?
· Can we (if yes, how) develop entrepreneurship models that are transferable to indigenous entrepreneurial ecosystems across South Asia and other regions of the world?
· What is the impact of institutional deficiencies (i.e., government corruption) on entrepreneurship in emerging economies?
Deadlines:
Abstracts (3 pages) should be submitted by July 15, 2013 to any one of the following guest editors. Abstracts will be reviewed by the editorial team, and selected authors would be invited to write a full paper.
Full Paper deadline (8000 words) via Scholar One to SAJGBR: October 15, 2013.
These papers will be double blind reviewed before being accepted for publication.
Anticipated Publication Date: January, 2015

Call for Papers
Advances in Strategic Management, Volume 32 (2015) Business Models and Organizations
Volume Editors: Charles Baden-Fuller, Vincent Mangematin
Deadline: May 15, 2014 (Expressions of interest and fast track papers October 15th, 2013)
Business models form a central element in understanding the world of business better and making a better business world, for they have both cognitive and economic dimensionality (Baden-Fuller and Morgan, 2010). Yet, despite the ubiquity of the use of the term we know very little about how business models can be classified, how new business models emerge that cope with new situations and new technologies, how the term business model is mobilized in organizations both cognitivelyand performatively. In addition, we still do not fully understand how we have to adapt and change our ideas of business models when confronting social and public sector enterprises.
· How does the business model fit into strategy thinking? The relationship between the concept of the business model and traditional strategy issues such as the resource based view, competitive advantage and value chains has been a major topic of discussion, without resolution, since Zott and Amit (2008). But the discussion needs extending and deepening. The business model concept stretches our notions of what is important and how things work, because it encompasses monetization mechanisms (Teece, 2010) and sensing customer needs (McGrath and MacMillan, 2000) – two issues traditionally under-explored in strategy discussions. This means that there is still much work to be done linking the idea of the business model to strategy concepts.
· How does the business model act as a cognitive and performative instrument? Business models assist managers in thinking about the world (Porac, Thomas and Baden-Fuller, 1989), and they can act as recipes (Sabatier, Rousselle and Mangematin, 2010), and they can assist firms in their actions (Dogonova and Eyquem Renault, 2009). We also know that existing business models can also act as straightjackets – hindering action (Gavetti and Tripas, 2000); but better undersanding of the mechanisms is needed, as well as the boundary conditions for when they promote and when they hinder actions.
· How do business models co-evolve with technologies? Changes in technology influence business model design; and in turn business models influence technology development. Advances in the internet and ICT has made possible the multisided platform that connects many communities of users and suppliers in quite novel ways together with novel methods of monetization. But we need to know more about the technology trends and how these interactions work. Current discussions of business ecosystems give partial answers (Adner and Kapoor, 2010), and open up potential for more contributions.
· What is special about social business models? Socio-economic hybrid organizations that combine market and social welfare logics are of great importance: they typically pursue a social mission but rely on commercial activities to generate revenue and sustain their operations (Battilana and Dorado, 2010). Many questions arise conceptually and empirically about these business models and whether their organizations can develop and grow without drifting away from their social mission?
The above list is really a start to indicate the potential scope of the potential contributions. We invite papers from leading established scholars and from emerging scholars that tackle some dimension of this puzzle that push our knowledge forward – conceptually or empirically.
SUBMISSION TIMELINE
Submissions are due by May 15, 2014. All submissions must represent original research not previously published elsewhere. Submissions will be subject to in-depth review. Authors that have already a well honed idea or completed piece on the business model agenda are invited to submit their outline or paper by October 15th 2013, to get an early response. We anticipate that at least a third of the special issue will be reserved for such early submissions. We also anticipate there will be a conference for authors to present their revised (provisionally accepted) papers at a conference in January 2015 (exact date/location TBD). The targeted publication date is July 2015.

PDW is to discuss new theoretical approaches to studying recent empirical developments in the realm of entrepreneurial finance Saturday, Aug 10 2013 11:15AM - 2:15PM at WDW Swan Resort in Swan 1
Sponsored by the BPS and TIM divisions
Organizers: Riitta Katila, Stanford University, Benjamin L. Hallen, London Business School, Emily Cox-Pahnke, University of Washington
Participants: Raphael Amit, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; Gary Dushnitsky, London Business School; Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School; Michael Hitt, Texas A&M; Toby Stuart, University of California, Berkeley; Christoph Zott, IESE Business School
The purpose of this PDW is to discuss new theoretical approaches to studying recent empirical developments in the realm of entrepreneurial finance. Although prior research has highlighted how vital venture investors are to startup success, a variety of new forms of venture investing have arisen in recent years. These new organizations, and in some case organizational forms, are worthy of study by management and strategy scholars because of their contribution to fostering innovation and economic development. For example scholars have recently begun to study super angels, micro-VC funds and so-called crowd funding. Each of these new types of funding require different types of strategies by entrepreneurs seeking them out, and at the same time are likely to have different impacts on the firms that receive them. At the same time, we are also seeing evolution within more traditional forms of venture capital and corporate venture capital. In this PDW we will discuss the current state of entrepreneurial finance and the exciting variety of new avenues for fruitful inquiry in this realm. The PDW will begin with a panel discussion of senior scholars followed by breakout sessions to discuss current research interests by other interested scholars
