    New Teaching Tools Website

     

    Some of you may be familiar with Mason Carpenter's old strategy teaching toolkit. I have initiated a new site that includes everything from that site plus quite a few additional exercises and videos. Please check it out at:

    www.CarpenterStrategyToolbox.com

     

    You can filter by type of tool (exercise, video, etc.) using the tabs at the top or you can filter by topic (technology, 5 forces, RBV, global, alliances, etc.) using the categories on the right side. You should find something useful in no time at all.

     

    Here are links to a few exercises and resources that you might find especially useful (to give you a quick feel):

    ·                     Global Alliance Game (focus is on the search for complementarities and hazards in negotiating to take advantage of them).

    ·                     Case: Google's $12.5B acquisition of Motorola. This includes news articles and there is even a spreadsheet available that values different scenarios (e.g., patent portfolio effectiveness, vertical integration, Google partner reactions).

    ·                     MicroDesign Tech Transfer Negotiation explores the challenges and costs of coordinating across business units (debrief focuses on organizational design and incentives to promote coordination).

    ·                     Technology Strategy tool page. This is a listing of the resources that are tagged for technology strategy content.

     

    Please help make the site more useful:

    ·                     Comment on tools you have used (adding tips, etc.)

    SPECIAL TOPIC FORUM

     

    COMMUNICATION, COGNITION, AND INSTITUTIONS Submit between July 1, 2013 – August 3, 2013

     

    Guest Editors:  John Lammers, Joep Cornelissen, Eero Vaara, Rodolphe Durand and Peer Fiss

     

    BACKGROUND

     

    Recent arguments by institutional theorists suggest that one of the most promising planks for the development of institutional theory is combining an analysis of the structural and practical aspects of organizations and institutions with a theorization of the microprocesses of cognition (e.g., framing, categorization, or sensemaking) and communication (e.g., interaction or rhetoric) through which those structural and practical aspects are maintained, challenged, or changed.

     

    For some time institutional researchers have recognized the importance of language, discourse, and communication in the very processes that constitute institutions. Yet while communication is clearly central to the construction of institutions and their logics, we are still lacking theories about the microprocesses through which categories, logics, practices, genres, or identities come into being in everyday interaction. In turn, in communication research, broadly defined, researchers have developed a number of theories and methods with the potential to elucidate precisely such processes and the interactions between the micro and macro levels.  Yet, to date, institutional theory has not been infused with these insights.

     

    The purpose of this special topic forum is to bring together these two strains of research- cognition and communication-to advance our understanding of the crucial role of communication in institutionalization. This involves bringing insights from various theories of social cognition, sensemaking, discourse analysis, and other cognitive and communication-related perspectives to institutional theory. In particular, we believe it is necessary to focus attention on the microlinkages among communication, cognition, and institutions in and around organizations. Such analysis should not merely focus on management, professions, and organizations per se but should link those to wider national and global institutional structures and processes, such as markets and emerging or declining economies.

     

    With this call for papers we therefore seek to expand communication and cognitive perspectives on institutions and institutionalization by encouraging scholars to

    •             examine the cognitive, communicative, and social bases of institutions and institutional

    change;

    •             seek or develop models that incorporate or make use of cognitive and communication

    theories and concepts, such as voice, frames, rhetoric, dialogue, discourse, interaction, speech acts, and institutional messages, events, orders, or memory;

    •             theorize how communication affects the dualities of institutional maintenance and change,

    conformity, and deviance; and

    •             explore the connection between the micro worlds of organizational communication and sense

    making, cognition, and the taken-for-grantedness of institutions.

     

    A key focus of papers submitted should be recognition of the interpersonal and interorganizational acts of communication that maintain and transform local, national, and global institutions. The concepts employed may include but are not limited to audience analysis, studies of cognitive categories, discourse analysis, frame analysis, genres, message construction, narratives, prototypes, and sense making, among others.

     

    Accordingly, we invite contributions that include the following potential approaches:

     

    •             A focus on communication processes that sustain or transform institutions-For example,

    communication and institutions may be viewed as conformity regimes such that institutional conformity or deviance is seen as a speech act. Alternatively, researchers could theorize the role of the media in institutionalization and change, specifying the link between micro-interactions and microstructure.

    •             Similarly, a formulation of the ways in which institutional messages have consequences for

    organizations or a model of the ways that legitimacy and legitimization are communicative processes.

    •             A focus on the contributions of category, frame, genre, and other cognitive constructs and

    processes to the study of institutions-For example, a potential paper could tie communication and cognition to institutions through specifying the role of social media in transmitting institutional logics and frames.

    •             A focus on the roles of governments, markets, and NGOs as national and international

    carriers of institutions and institutional logics-For example, researchers could demonstrate the role of professional and trade associations or consultants as communication media in structuring industries internationally or they could theorize the role(s) of international institutions in the acceptability of institutional logics.

    Apologies for cross-postings

     Hello,

    South Asian Journal of Global Business Research (SAJGBR) is accepting papers for its special issue on entrepreneurship. Please see the Call for Papers below:

     

    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:

    Abstracts (3 pages) should be submitted by January 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: April 15, 2013. These papers will be double blind reviewed before being accepted for publication.

    The International Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM) holds its Third Conference "Meet the Editors of ISI-ranked journals/Young faculty publishing conference" in Lisbon (Portugal) from June 17th to June 19th,

    2013 (Deadline: December 15th). Seventeen editors of leading journals will participate in the conference with a view to publishing special issues in the following publications:

     

    Dianna Stone (Journal of Managerial Psychology), David Audretsch (Small Business Economics), Eileen Bridges (Services Industries Journal), Simon Mosey (Journal of Technology Transfer), Steven G. Rogeberg (Journal of Business and Psychology), Robert Blackburn (International Small Business Journal), Sang M. Lee and Jose Millet (Service Business.

    The editor of each journal will open the session with an outline of "Future Trends in his/her journal". Authors will then go on to present the papers chosen for each journal, with a total of seventeen sessions, one for each journal.

     

    One of the principal outcomes of the INBAM Conference is the selection of papers that, depending on fit with the scope of the journal and the quality of papers presented, will constitute a special issue in each of the journals involved. It is important that authors and participants adjust manuscripts to the topics and style guidelines of each specific publication. The chance for authors to meet the editors and receive immediate feedback on their research, along with the possibility of publishing in a special issue make this and subsequent Conferences organized by the Editor Network of the International Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM) entirely unique.

    Please consider the special call for paper for Management Decision.

    Special issue in Management Decision: "Value Creation, Value Assessment and Value Capture from a Managerial Perspective". 

     Submission Deadline: March 30th, 2013

     

    Theme

    Faced with increased complexity and competitive intensity, firms have had to revisit their business positioning and adopt more impactful and differentiated business strategies. This constant demand for innovation, business model redesign and compelling marketing strategies have forced managers to pay closer attention to customer value and how they can create it, measure it and capture it.

    For the past few years, marketing and management scholars have placed customer value as one of their top research priorities.

     

    Given that most managers in firms  create their own social construction of value (Ulaga 2001; Liozu, Hinterhuber et al. 2012) and that the subject remains largely unexplored, we propose a special call for paper to further explore this concept from a managerial perspective:

     

    This project aims at developing knowledge for inquiry in three domains of customer value research: value creation, value assessment, and value capture. These three domains might be considered from an organizational perspective focusing on strategy development and implementation, from a theoretical point of view focusing on the fundamental question of how to conceptualize value, or from a tactical perspective focusing on how to implement value programs in firms.

     

    Consequentially, in this call for papers we aim to shed light on the following non-exhaustive list of research questions:

    ·                     How do firms translate customer orientation and value-based management into managerial activities and decision-making processes?

    ·                     How do managers combine monetary and non-monetary benefits and sacrifices to assess value?

    ·                     What is the role of language and meanings in the operationalization of value?

    ·                     Dis-entangling customer value: What is the contribution of product value, service value, relationship value etc. to the total customer value created and/or perceived?

    ·                     What is relationship value and how can it be conceptualized and measured vis-à-vis product value?

    ·                     How can data mining help in exploring the concept of value?

    ·                     How do firms conduct value-in-use assessment to build value models?

    ·                     How do firms assess value when decision-making power is fragmented among various stakeholders at customer level?

    ·                     How do value perceptions evolve over time internally, externally and during buyer-seller interactions?

    ·                     How do managers in firms quantify their differential value versus competitors? What are implications of the inherent subjectivity of customer value?

    ·                     Value appropriation: Which factors influence the deree to which firms capture customer value? How do firms decide what price to ask once value is created?

    ·                     Value co-creation with customers: How does the fact that customers increasingly co-create value together with their suppliers influence value appropriation of the supplier?

    ·                     Value creation through open innovation: Does open innovation lead to novel ways of value creation, value assessment and value capture?

    ·                     What are the barriers to value capture in business markets?

    ·                     How do price decision-makers deal with value information ambiguity and uncertainty?

    ·                     How do value creation, value assessment and value capture contribute to firm performance?

    Call for Chapter Proposals

     

    Business Innovation and Disruption in Film, Video and Photography, Vol. 2 in the Business Innovation and Disruption Book Series

    Book chapter proposals received by NOVEMBER 1, 2012

     

    Book Series and Volume Two, MEDIA XXI Publishers, 2013

     

    Co-Editors: Robert DeFillippi and Patrik Wikström

     

     

    This volume will examine how the industries for film, video and photography (FVP) are undergoing a process of disruption and transformation due to the technology of the Internet, social forces driven by social media, the decreasing costs of new information, and the creation of new business models and forms of intellectual property ownership rights for a digitized industry. This volume is soliciting chapter proposals from a multidisciplinary array of scholars who can contribute to one or more of the following themes:

     

    •          Disruption of the industry structure and value chain relations

    •          Transformations in user behavior, particularly related to user

    innovation, including crowd sourced innovation

    •          Business model  innovation and transformation

    •          Innovative funding models for FVP production including crowd

    funding, international funding schemes, government grants, etc.

    •          Intellectual property innovations in the FVP industries

    •          Innovative modes of content creation, aggregation and distribution

    •          Case studies of innovative modes of business response to

    disruption challenges

    •          Assessments of prospective economic winners and losers in the FVP

    eco systems

     

    This volume is seeking manuscripts that can address the above topics through a variety of modes of analysis: institutional analyses, quantitative empirical study, case studies, and theory-based simulations or modeling. Our intention is to offer a plurality of theoretic perspectives and empirical methods from diverse social science, business and creative industry disciplines that can inform a more holistic understanding of the forces shaping the image focused creative industries (film, video and photography) and shed some light on the impact of those forces on how image content is created, aggregated and distributed, and on the economic and social consequences for industry producers and consumers.

    Research Project - Low-cost Innovation Theories

     

    Dear Colleagues ,

     

    Most innovations that are subject to public debate are expected to perform better and be priced higher than traditional products in a given market. However, numerous innovations exist that are priced lower than previous generations and, therefore, have some performance limitations. Research on low-cost innovations has yielded many competing theories and models.

     

    We are currently preparing a review on low-cost innovation theories. So far we have generated a list containing 13 theories and concepts. Among them are the theory of disruptive innovation, the low-end encroachment framework, reverse innovation, frugal innovation and many others. In order to include all relevant theories and concepts that relate to low-cost innovation, we kindly ask you to fill out the one-page survey, rate existing theories and add new terms.

     

    Here is the link: https://www.soscisurvey.de/low-cost-innovation/?r=TIM

     

    We look forward to receiving your opinions!

    OVERVIEW 
    The scenic region of Upper Austria with its clusters in the chemical, metal and creative industry is the perfect spot to experience and discuss the theme "Tapping into pockets of knowledge". The question how to acquire locally embedded knowledge and then leverage corporate exploration and exploitation has increasingly attracted scholarly attention over the last years. The Danube extension is framed around the logical chain from knowledge acquisition, to the challenge of establishing ambidextrous organizations and corporate change. It seeks to integrate perspectives on these topics from corporate strategy, international management, organizational theory, and technology management.

    We are able to accept up to 50 participants for this workshop and their acceptance will be based on a first come, first serve basis.

    Dear Colleagues, 

     

    Please forgive the repost of this position, there is now a Distinguished University Professorship available for exceptionally well-qualified applicants. Because of that I am hoping that you will post:

    Senior Faculty Position in Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation Management

     

    The Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (MIE) at North Carolina State University's Poole College of Management invites applications for a full professor position in entrepreneurship and/or innovation management to begin in August, 2013.  Distinguished University Professor can be considered for exceptionally well-qualified applicants.  An earned Ph.D. in a relevant area and a scholarly record commensurate with rank as a full professor are required. Well qualified advanced associate professors are also encouraged to apply. Salary is competitive. We will begin screening applications on September 17, 2012, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled. 

     

    Preference will be given to candidates with experience and research interests in areas compatible with MIE's focus on entrepreneurship, innovation management, strategic and international applications of technology commercialization, and strategy in high technology environments. A strong commitment to excellence in research and publications and teaching in the undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs is emphasized. A shared commitment to helping us continue to build a leading entrepreneurship research and teaching program (including a Ph.D. program) will be essential. The Entrepreneurship Collaborative, a center within MIE, is building a set of programs and activities to support faculty whose research would benefit from doing field experiments involving local entrepreneurs and ventures. This "clinical" model will allow us to involve more of our undergraduate and graduate students in research activities and provide strong integration across theory-driven research, teaching and engagement in entrepreneurship.

     

    We are an engaged and highly collegial group of scholars, working in one of the world's very best locations for people interested in the intersection of management and technology. Our tenured/tenure-track faculty currently includes: Professors Brad Kirkman (Department Head), Steve Allen, Steve Barr, Robert Clark, and Roger Mayer; Associate Professors Lynda Aiman-Smith, Ted Baker, Shannon Davis, Steve Markham, Paul Mulvey, Beverly Tyler, and Greggry Young; and Assistant Professors Nachiket Bhawe, Turanay Caner, and David Townsend (visiting).

     

    Highly interdisciplinary in nature, the MIE department has faculty with research programs in entrepreneurship, strategy, management of technology and innovation, organizational leadership, and HR. The MIE department (http://poole.ncsu.edu/index-exp.php/mie/mie) and other departments in the Poole College of Management house several distinguished academic centers, including The Entrepreneurship Collaborative (TEC) (http://tec.poole.ncsu.edu/), Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS) (http://cims.ncsu.edu/), Biosciences Initiative (http://biosci.poole.ncsu.edu), Supply Chain Research Consortium, and the Enterprise Risk Management Initiative. We also have several international partnerships with universities in countries such as France and China.

                ------------------------------------

    The Strategic Management Department in the Fox School of Business invites applicants for one, and possibly two, faculty positions in Strategy. These will be full-time, tenure track appointments beginning in Fall 2013.

     

    While rank is open, we would prefer one of the positions to be filled by an applicant who is currently a senior assistant or a recent associate professor. Candidates are expected to hold a PhD in Strategy or a related discipline from a research university.  While prospective candidates must demonstrate the ability to produce original and innovative scholarly work of the highest possible quality and impact, a demonstrated ability to teach Strategic Management, Innovation/Entrepreneurship, and/or Global Strategy courses at the MBA and PhD levels will be advantageous.

     

    Our diverse faculty comes from backgrounds in strategy, economics, marketing, sociology, organizational theory, international business, and public policy, and brings an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of strategy. Importantly, the department is a fertile environment for those who wish to study the intersection of strategy, innovation, technology entrepreneurship and international business. In recent years, our faculty has published in the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Management Science, Organization Science, Journal of International Business Studies, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Research Policy, and Journal of Business Venturing among others. The Fox School has made major strides in recent years, and is well positioned to offer a very supportive environment for research. Our salary and research support is competitive with those of other major research universities, and deserving candidates can expect to teach three courses in an academic year. In addition, Philadelphia, of course, is a very attractive and vibrant city.

     

    Interested applicants should e-mail their current curriculum vitae, at least one recent scholarly article and/or job market paper, and three letters of recommendation to Prof. MB Sarkar, Recruiting Committee Chair at strategy@temple.edu. If you prefer to mail some documents, you can send them to Prof. MB Sarkar, Recruiting Committee Chair, Strategic Management Department, Alter Hall, The Fox School of Business, Temple University, 1801 Liacouras Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19122-6083, USA.

The start date is August, 2013.  Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
