Dear Colleagues,
Yesterday we made the next step on our efforts to ask for the scientific community’s advice in shaping our priorities for the future. The letter opens with this observation:
At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the social, behavioral, and economic sciences face extraordinary opportunities to address next-generation research challenges. The landscape is vast and complex, stretching across temporal and spatial dimensions and multiple levels of analysis -- from studying the human brain to implications of decision making in a dynamic and fragmented yet interconnected world. As we look forward 10 or even 20 years, the Directorate for the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences of the National Science Foundation (NSF/SBE) seeks to frame innovative research for the year 2020 and beyond that enhances fundamental knowledge and benefits society in many ways.
This request is part of a process that will help NSF/SBE make plans to support future research. Other activities will include a report by the Directorate's Advisory Committee about the grand challenges facing the SBE sciences over the next decade and recommendations from the Directorate's staff. The insights resulting from this process are threefold: They will inform the substance of future research, the capacities to pursue that research, and the infrastructure to enable investigations that will be increasingly interdisciplinary and international and will involve multiple perspectives and intellectual frameworks, differing scales and contexts, and diverse approaches and methodologies.
I am writing to request your help in disseminating our request for advice to the largest audience possible. Could you send this out to whatever individuals or groups you think would be useful to ask for contributions? Because the deadline is short (September 30, 2010), we are especially eager for your assistance.
The DCL can be found at this URL:

Individuals and groups who wish to suggest ideas to SBE should do so at this web site, following the instructions there:

Thank you for your help in getting the word out. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have questions.

Dear Colleague,
Asia is an exciting place and accounts for a significant and increasingly large share of the global economy, boasting three of the ten biggest economies - China, Japan and India. It is the growth center of the current world economy, with two of the fastest emerging economies, China and India. More than sixty percent of the world’s population resides in Asia. There is an increasing number of Asian multinationals among the Global Fortune 500. The influence and impact of Asia in the world economy is significant. Though on a growth trajectory, Asia is diverse and complex and faces numerous challenges. To accelerate growth and face the challenges requires substantial strategic thought, guidance and implementation; which is the primary reason for organizing this strategy forum with a focus on practice. The forum will draw best of experts from industry, government, think tanks, international organizations and academia to discuss various strategic issues in the Asian context.
The focus of the forum is on practice. It’s purpose is to improve practice of strategy in an Asian context as well as to inform and enrich the participants on various strategic issues. The forum will have interactive sessions, interesting academic visits / tours and networking breaks. The forum will discuss various strategic issues related to corporate strategy practices, Asian MNCs, innovations, SMEs, leadership, governance, doing business in India, doing business in China, energy and sustainability etc. The forum is an ideal place for senior corporate executives, strategy practitioners, policy makers and researchers engaged in or are going to engage in near future with Asia. Contributions are invited on various aspects of strategy in Asia.

Information Technology in Transition Economies
Guest Editors:
Narcyz Roztocki, SUNY at New Paltz, and H. Roland Weistroffer, Virginia Commonwealth University
You are cordially invited to submit an original manuscript for a special issue of Information Systems Management on Information Technology in Transition Economies. This special issue seeks submissions on the implementation, use, and performance of information systems and technology in the context of countries in transition from centrally planned to market driven economies, especially the countries that resulted from the break-up of the Soviet Union and other countries of the former Eastern Bloc.
Transition economies, encompassing approximately one third of the world population, are characterized by a substantial rising middle class population creating increasing domestic consumer demand, but also by frequent changes in the regulatory environment and thus some economic uncertainty with various social and business implications. Although many of the changes in the economic structure and business environment of transition economies were and are facilitated by information technology (IT), the main stream of information systems research remains focused on concerns relevant primarily to a narrow group of highly developed countries. This scarcity of research dealing specifically with the issues affecting information technology implementation, use, and performance in the changing business and cultural environments in transition economies provides motivation for this special issue.
Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following:
- IT strategy in transition economies
- Economics of IT in transition economies
- IT productivity and performance at the country, industry or firm level
- Comparative cross-country research
- Country specific case studies focusing on issues peculiar to transition economies
- Risk analyses highlighting issues peculiar to transition economies
- Global supply chain management and its effect on transition economies
- IT off-shoring / IT outsourcing into transition economies
- IT back-sourcing from transition economies
- International IT project management, focusing on characteristics of transition economies
- Human factors and their effect on IT system design and use in transition economies
- Digital divide in the context of transition economies
- E-commerce and its effect on transition economies
- E-government in transition economies
- IT education in transition economies
- Legal and fiscal policies regarding IT investments in transition economies
- Success factors in IT implementation in transition economies
- Exemplary models of IT implementation and use in transition economies
Consistent with the focus of the Information Systems Management journal, the emphasis will be on managerial challenges and approaches to address these challenges, case examples from the field, and/or innovative or unique practices. All papers should clearly state how they contribute to the understanding of IS/IT in transition economies. How are the findings different from what one would expect in fully developed market economies? How may transition economies benefit from these studies?
A typical paper length is about 7500 words, exclusive of exhibits. The review process for ISM is double-blind; therefore, please remove author name(s), their biographical notes, or any acknowledgements from your manuscript file. Do include a title, abstract, and keywords within your manuscript file. Short biographies, with contact information, for all authors should be submitted as a supplemental file at the time of submission, along with an indication of the corresponding author. For details, please refer to the Instructions for Authors posted at the Information Systems Management journal website: http://www.informaworld.com/10580530
Please submit papers using Manuscript Central, the online submission system at:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/uism
While submitting, the authors should indicate that the submission is intended for the special issue and send a short e-mail notification (including the submission
number) to both guest editors simultaneously:

Call for Papers
Theme: Global Challenges for Sustainability and Equity
The fashionable language in CSR circles has for a while now centred on sustainability. However, one party’s idea of a sustainable strategy may easily conflict with other stakeholders’ priorities. The notion of sustainability seems under-examined, its meaning taken for granted. Further, as important as the long view is, there is a danger of other equally important markers of human development being sidelined, such as equity, meaning fair or just outcomes. Which begs the question ‘what is fair or just’?, and ‘who gets to decide what is equitable’?
Among the areas where the rhetoric of sustainability and the demand for equity are proving challenging are the financial crisis and climate change; issues demanding coordinated responses at a global level, yet equally any ‘solutions’ need to be locally relevant and equitable. In these and other areas, issues of economic power, political influence and competing ethical perspectives seem embedded in any attempt to develop sustainable strategies and undoubtedly shape what counts as equitable. With these challenges in mind we need to explore and conceive innovative approaches to social and economic development that are both sustainable and equitable.
Scope
The scope of the symposium is interdisciplinary. We encourage contributions that focus both on single issues whether social, environmental, economic or technological, as well as contributions that focus on the challenges and opportunities where these streams seem to merge. We seek to develop nuanced knowledge and locally relevant practice. Such ambition requires perspectives that are critical, situated in the context of an evolving global dynamic.
Submissions may focus on either practice (e.g., innovative programmes, strategic challenges), or theory (development and reflection), or empirical research (involving the collection and analysis of data). Submissions (proposals) may be Abstracts, Developmental Papers or Full Papers. We also encourage Doctoral researchers to submit Work-in-Progress papers and Posters. Submission Options:
• Practitioner Abstracts
• Academic abstracts
• Full academic papers (for peer review)
• Developmental (Work-in-Progress) Papers
• Workshop Proposals
Participants are invited to submit proposals involving either 30 minutes presentations or 60 minute workshops. 30 minute presentations comprise 20 minutes presentation and 10 minutes questions and brief discussion. Workshops are intended for topics that seek to stimulate much more audience participation and debate than can be achieved in a 30 minute presentation.
The symposium seeks interdisciplinary proposals that draw from the following areas:
Environmental
Social
Economic
Technological
Cultural
Ethical
Political
Governance
These are indicative not limiting and submissions are invited that fall outside these areas.
Publication Opportunities
All presentations and papers will be published as symposium proceedings. In addition, registration in the Symposium provides participants the chance to publish in an academic journal. Papers submitted for publication in an academic journal will be blind refereed, and acceptance for publication will be based on referee reports. We are securing publication with appropriate journals, including the Journal Management of Environmental Quality, and in addition a Special Issue journal.
Submission process
Refereeing will be a rolling process so that papers will be reviewed soon after they are submitted. Feedback on acceptance or suggested revisions will be given following one of two submission deadlines: October 15th and December 15th. Proposals submitted and accepted early will be given priority. Those unable to attend the symposium may also submit papers for consideration by the Journal.
1. Submit proposal (presentation /abstract; development paper, full-paper).
2. Feedback given on whether a proposal is accepted or needs revision.
3. Once a proposal is accepted the author must register for the symposium.
4. Once the registration fee is paid, the presentation will be scheduled in the programme.
All presentations will be included in the symposium proceedings, but only full papers will be considered for the journal.
Deadlines
• July 2010 - call for papers
• October 15th – first deadline for proposals
• December 15th - second deadline for proposals
• February 15th 2011 - latest date for accepting papers
• April 15th - papers and draft Track schedules available online
Please send papers and enquiries to the secretariat at

Greetings,
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new 1-volume reference work on the skills and characteristics of successful entrepreneurship.
New ventures often are launched into highly dynamic environments characterized by rapid technological change, inherent unpredictability, and an uncertain cash flow. Such ventures often require rapid growth to succeed.
While new ventures offer those who initiate them a high degree of independence, excitement, and potential for great reward, they also offer high risk, stress, and greater potential for failure. Thus, it takes a special set of skills, techniques, and temperament to succeed. These skills, along with the potential risks and rewards and environmental settings and characteristics, are explored in the Encyclopedia of New Venture Management.
The work will contain approximately 150 signed entries with Cross-References
(“see-also”) and suggestions for Further Readings.
We are now making assignments due October 15, 2010.
This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and digital product available to students via the library’s online services. The General Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Matthew Marvel at Western Kentucky University’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
If you are interested in contributing to this outstanding reference, it is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature. Moreover, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.
The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference with the Encyclopedia of New Venture Management, please contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related issues.
Thanks very much.
