Call for papers

All scholars who wish to present a paper at the conference must submit a paper before the deadline of June 15, 2009 by sending it to: mh.smg@cbs.dk
The conference invites scholars from a variety of fields to elaborate upon theoretical and empirical issues that may be of relevance to the field of management innovation. Issues from the following, non-exhaustive, list of topics may be addressed:
  • To what extent can we draw upon contributions from related fields of study, such as the change management, organization theory and innovation literatures, to better understand management innovation?
  • What factors lead companies to adopt new management practices or organizational structures and what distinguishes innovators from imitators?
  • To what extent should we be interested in environmental and external factors vis-à-vis factors internal to the organization, such as top management teams, R&D expenditure, organizational design or culture?
  • How may we theoretically and empirically link management innovation to firm performance?
  • What are promising directions for future research on management innovation?
We encourage both conceptual and empirical contributions addressing these issues.
The papers should start with the title of your submission, followed by your name, affiliation, and e-mail address. The paper must not exceed 40 pages (including ALL tables, appendices and references). Use Times New Roman 12-pitch font, double spaced, and 2.5 cm margin all around. Number all of the pages of the paper. Submission of a paper gives the organizers permission to include it the conference material and to disseminate it electronically or place it on the website. We reserve the right to decline papers, which do not comply with the call for papers and conference focus.
DATE OF CONFERENCE: 3-4 SEPTEMBER 2009
