    CALL FOR PAPERS AND REVIEWERS

    Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border IS/IT Collaboration - Mini-track January
    7-10, 2008

    Mini-Track Chairs:
    Nicholas C. Romano, Jr.- Oklahoma State University -
    nicholas.romano@okstate.edu (primary contact)

    Investments in IS/IT represent a substantial portion of corporate capital
    spending. With the progressing globalization, many of these investments are
    conducted across nations and throughout regions. Cross-system integration and
    collaboration technologies play crucial roles and often decide about investment
    success or failure. Academic literature has extensively focused on different
    aspects of IS/IT productivity, but not many researchers specifically examined
    the possible link between the international collaboration process and the
    payoffs from investments in IS/IT. Therefore, our intention is to specifically
    address this issue.

    Possible contributions regarding the collaboration in global economy may
    include, but are not limited to the following:

    Processes of international/global IS/IT collaboration
    Effects of collaboration on IS/IT productivity
    Success factors of collaboration technologies
    Inter-organizational collaboration and IS/IT productivity
    Conceptual frameworks of IS/IT collaboration in the global economy
    IS/IT investment evaluation
    IS/IT productivity studies at the country, industry, firm, or project level
    Comparative cross-country research
    Country-specific case studies
    IS/IT offshoring /outsourcing into emerging economies
    International IS/IT project management
    Multinational teams and IS/IT productivity
    IS/IT productivity instrument development and validation
    Cross-border and cross-organizational Value-Chains and Value-Networks

    We encourage both Empirical (both quantitative and qualitative) and
    Theoretical papers

    Important Dates:
    Abstracts: Optional before June 15, 2007
    June 15, 2007: Authors submit full papers to the Peer Review System
    August 15, 2007: Acceptance/Rejection notices are sent to Authors via the Peer
    Review System.
    September 15, 2007: Authors submit Final Version of papers

    This minitrack is part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology track.

    The College of Business Administration and The Chapman Graduate School of
    Business
    Florida International University would like to invite you to:

    The XLII Annual CLADEA Meeting
    October 28-30, 2007
    Miami, Florida
    Call for Papers

    DEADLINE: April 15, 2007

    Dear Colleague,

    In response to various suggestions from our membership and in order to provide
    greater opportunities and diversity in the CLADEA conference, we are proposing
    a new set of rules for the selection of papers for our Annual Conference
    scheduled for this coming October in Miami, Florida.

    The conference will be divided into two major streams with several sub-streams
    as follows:

    Academic Conference

    The academic stream of the conference will continue to follow the themes
    articulated earlier, that is, “Human Capital, Innovation and
    Entrepreneurship.” Papers will be accepted in one of two categories:

    Competitive Sessions. Papers submitted for these sessions are typically fully
    developed and deal with one of the topics for the conference as described
    below. Papers must be submitted electronically and in English. The papers
    must be of a quality typical of those appearing in international journals and
    are limited to 30 pages in length, double spaced, and including bibliography
    and all exhibits. Please follow the same style in all submissions as required
    by the American Psychological Association (APA). All competitive papers will
    be subjected to a double blind review process. Sessions will include no more
    than three papers with similar themes and will be presided by a moderator.

    Possible themes:
    Human Capital: managing people across cultures; leadership behavior; impact of
    culture on business; management of expatriates; team management; ethics and
    values; work systems; knowledge creation, management, and spillover; training
    and development; outsourcing/offshoring; organizational behavior; negotiations

    Innovation: innovation in corporate functions--marketing, financing,
    production, product development, production systems; technology development;
    knowledge transfer and dissemination in firms; innovation and diffusion; R&D,
    networks, and value chains; customer-driven innovation; distribution and other
    innovations to reach the “bottom of the pyramid”; innovation and creativity;
    national innovation systems.

    Entrepreneurship: new venture creation and growth; social entrepreneurship;
    family-owned entrepreneurial firms; opportunity identification processes and
    strategies; environmental influences on venture creation and growth; obstacles
    to entrepreneurial activity; emerging industries, corporate venturing; venture
    capital, venture teams; entrepreneurship and economic development;
    entrepreneurial finance.

    Interactive Sessions. These sessions are intended to accommodate work in
    progress, case-based exploratory research, conceptual development and other
    work that invites discussion and interaction. Papers for these sessions can be
    submitted in English, Spanish or Portuguese, and must be limited to no more
    than 20 pages, doubled spaced, and including bibliography and all exhibits. We
    intend to group papers in sessions in order to elicit maximum discussion among
    the panelists and the audience. These submissions will be subjected to a
    single review process in keeping with their less developed format.

    All papers must be identified as belonging to either the Competitive Sessions
    or the Interactive Sessions. If not identified, they will be assigned to one
    or another of these groups by the review team. There will be at least two or
    three concurrent sessions dealing with these papers throughout the conference.

    Paper Submissions:

    Submissions for the conference will take place through via email. The complete
    manuscripts (not just abstracts) must be submitted by APRIL 15, 2007 to
    cladeapapers@business.fiu.edu for consideration.

    Each submission should include a cover sheet with author information (name,
    address, phone, fax, email) and corresponding author. Submission of a
    manuscript for review constitutes a commitment that one paper author or all
    panelists or symposium members will attend the conference if the submission is
    accepted.

    For current information regarding the conference and associated events,
    submission instructions, and deadlines, please check the conference website at
    https://cbasys.fiu.edu/bofa/cladea/callsforpaper.cfm. Any questions regarding
    this call for papers should be submitted to the Academic Committee Chair, Jerry
    Haar, at Jerry.Haar@fiu.edu.
    Manuscript submissions should be sent to cladeapapers@business.fiu.edu for
    review and consideration.

    Administrative Conference

    In addition to the academic papers selected from submissions received according
    to the procedures stipulated above, the organizers will arrange for a number of
    panel or discussion sessions on themes of interest to Deans, Associate Deans
    and other Business School administrators. These sessions will be arranged in
    accordance with the preferences stipulated by the members of CLADEA who
    responded to the survey sent out last December.

    The administrative conference will also include plenary sessions with special
    invited guests that should be of interest to all participants.

    Best Regards,
    José de la Torre
    Dean, Chapman Graduate School of Business

    ****Apologies for cross postings****

    Dear all,

    I thought many of you might be interested that version 2 of Publish or Perish
    is now out. Publish or Perish is a software program that retrieves and analyzes
    academic citations, using Google Scholar (http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm).

    Version 2 includes many usability enhancements as well a multi-query center
    that allows you to save, edit, and compare queries. If you have any user
    feedback on the new version, please do not hesitate to contact me at
    pop@harzing.com.

    The programme should be useful for academics preparing for confirmation,
    tenure, promotion or job applications. The advantages of using Google Scholar
    instead of ISI Thomson data are explained in detail at:
    http://www.harzing.com/pop_gs.htm

    The choice for Google Scholar is particularly relevant for Management scholars
    as many good journals in our field are not ISI listed and hence citations in
    these journals are not counted by ISI.

    My website also includes two further white papers on this topic:
    * Reflections on the h-index http://www.harzing.com/pop_hindex.htm
    * Reflections on norms for the h-index and related indices
    http://www.harzing.com/pop_norm.htm

    Finally, Publish or Perish includes a detailed help file with search tips and
    additional information about the citation metrics. The help file is now also
    available online:
    http://www.harzing.com/pophelp/index.htm



    Best wishes,
