    If you are planning on attending the Academy of Management Meeting in
    August, please consider attending one of the most enjoyable and rewarding
    pre-conference activities: The TIM 2007 Junior Faculty Consortium sponsored
    by the Technology and Innovation Management Division. This year's "camp"
    will be held in Philadelphia on Saturday, August 4th, 2007. The consortium
    will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and conclude with a group dinner. This
    year's consortium consists of a set of sessions focusing on key issues such
    as balancing research and teaching, work versus family, getting published in
    the top journals, and how to manage your time. The consortium will feature
    outstanding senior faculty members with a proven record of research and
    teaching. Faculty participants include Lee Fleming (HBS), Anita McGahan
    (BU), Brian Silverman (Rotman), Shaker Zahra (Carlson), Mary Tripsas (HBS),
    Rosemarie Ziedonis (Michigan), Max Von Zedwitz (Beijing), and Dominique
    Jolly (CERAM).

    The consortium will provide participants with the opportunity for reflection
    and renewal, for networking with friends and colleagues, and for meeting new
    peers and senior colleagues with shared interests. Applicants must have at
    least one full year of experience as an assistant professor in a post-Ph.D.
    academic institution and no more than three years experience by August 2007.
    To apply, please email your vita to Michael Lenox at mlenox@duke.edu. When
    you apply please indicate the month and year you started your first
    assistant professor position. We will take applications for "campers" on a
    rolling basis until July 1st, 2007.

    With apologies for cross-posting, this note serves as the reminder for the
    TIM Best Dissertation Award, with an upcoming deadline of January 31, 2007.

    The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of
    Management invites submissions for the 2007 TIM Best Dissertation Award. We

    calendar years 2005 and 2006.

    We take a broad perspective on technology and innovation, including all
    aspects of the emergence, diffusion, adoption, commercialization, evolution
    and performance/welfare consequences of technologies and innovations.

    The award process involves two stages. In the first stage, each applicant
    submits a 5-page dissertation abstract by January 31. A panel of
    experienced researchers then selects the finalists. In the second stage,
    each finalist is invited to submit a 30-page manuscript based upon his/her
    dissertation. The panel reviews these manuscripts, provides feedback, and
    selects the best dissertation which will be awarded at the Annual Academy of

    Cornell-McGill Conference on Institutions and Entrepreneurship

    July 23-24, 2007. Ithaca, New York

    This conference is intended to further the institutional approach to
    entrepreneurial studies. An institutional approach to entrepreneurship
    shifts attention away from the personal traits and backgrounds of individual
    entrepreneurs, and towards how institutions shape entrepreneurial
    opportunities and actions; how entrepreneurs navigate their cognitive,
    normative, and regulatory environments; and how actors modify and build
    institutions to support new types of organizations.

    A wide variety of topics fit within this broad theme. Some illustrative
    examples include:

    - the creation of new institutional structures to facilitate the
    development of new kinds of organizations;
    - the role of government policies in helping (or hindering) new ventures;
    - the use of symbols to legitimate novel organizations;
    - the role of norms, values, and traditions in facilitating (or impeding)
    entrepreneurship;
    - deinstitutionalization of an established practice as a form of
    entrepreneurial opportunity;
    - the creation of standards and conventions to support new types of
    economic activities.

    Our desire is for this conference to be highly interactive, so we are
    limiting participation to a small number of (approx. 20 or so) paper
    presentations. To promote interaction between senior and junior scholars,
    half of these slots will be reserved for papers submitted by more junior
    scholars. Papers will be accepted based on a competitive submission
    process. A small number of leading scholars will facilitate the paper
    sessions, these include Dick Scott, Howard Aldrich, and Pamela Tolbert among
    others.

    The conference is sponsored by the J. Thomas Clark Fellowship, the McGill
    Centre for Strategy Studies in Organization, and the Johnson Graduate School
    of Management. We will cover onsite accommodations for 2 nights for
    presenters (one room per accepted paper). A select group of papers will be
    invited for publication in a special issue of Research in the Sociology of
    Work focused on the topic of institutions and entrepreneurship. A second
    conference is planned for 2008 in Montreal.

    Please send a full paper to Laura Ierfino (laura.ierfino@mail.mcgill.ca) by
    February 1st, 2007. Decisions will be made March 15th, 2007.

    We look forward to seeing you in Ithaca!
