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.

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:
