15th Annual CJBE Conference
12th July, 2012 to 14th July, 2012
Loyola Maymount University Los Angeles, California
As Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles begins its second century of existence, it is very pleased to host the 2012 CJBE Conference. The above theme for the conference provides a very inclusive backdrop for Jesuit business school colleagues to reflect on their work and share new ideas for optimizing active engagement at our schools, contributing to the important Ignatian goal of "forming men and women for others."
Much recent work on engaged learning emphasizes increased student involvement and participation in the learning process, whether in or outside of the classroom. There are exciting new approaches involving various forms of field learning, community-based learning, project-based learning, service learning, etc. that can enhance student engagement of the important domains of mind, heart, body, and spirit. Other approaches for the classroom class or elsewhere may focus on greater engagement for deeper learning within any one of these essential domains in the learning of the whole person. Track possibilities for CJBE 2012 include the following:
• Teaching and curriculum for enhanced engagement: Issues, challenges, and valuable practices pertinent to Jesuit educators;
• Institutional development: Helping Jesuit schools of business in developing and implementing their missions and strategic plans through new structures, processes, and people that reflect Jesuit values and result in increased campus-wide engagement;
• Faculty development and career planning: Ideas for faculty renewal and increased vitality; faculty life/career planning;
• Research: Theoretical, empirical, applied, interdisciplinary, and other scholarly contributions related to the above topics and themes, with potential for future publication.Proposal deadline April 2, 2012 for interactive sessions addressing the above track ares of interest (e.g., participative workshops, idea-sharing sessions, best practice panels, recent research, open caucus discussion sessions for assembling participants with similar interests).

2011 Annual Virtual Conference on Moral Leadership
Submission Deadline: October 15, 2011
Regent University’s School of Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship, in conjunction with St. Augustine College in South Africa, the Methodist Theological University in South Korea and the Høyskolen for Ledelse og Teologi in Norway, will host the second Annual Virtual Conference on Moral Leadership, December 11-17, 2011.
The theme of the conference will focus on what have been historically called the "classical virtues" (humility, kindness, patience, diligence, charity, temperance and chastity) and their impact on leadership. These virtues answer the call to the "seven-deadly sins" (pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust) that we engaged with last year at our first conference that focused on the vices in contemporary organizational leadership. We will continue this theme in the upcoming years with a focus in 2012 on the Moral Formation of Leaders, and in 2013, the Profiles of Moral Leaders.
The virtual conference features asynchronous, refereed scholarly submissions in various formats:
Invited video presentations of scholarly papers on each virtue
Online published proceedings of accepted paper submissions (scholar and student tracks)
Online panel discussions by experts
This call for papers invites submissions for papers on one of the classical virtues and organizational leadership for two refereed tracks: one for scholarly, researched papers and another for student papers. The accepted papers will be featured online as part of the virtual conference presentations and proceedings.
The best scholarly papers will be considered for publication in the Journal of Biblical Perspectives in Leadership and the Journal of Virtues in Leadership. The best student papers will be considered for publication in the Inner Resources for Leaders magazine.
PAPER SUBMISSION: To submit a paper, email to either of the conference chairs, a complete paper that follows the submission guidelines noted below. All papers will be reviewed.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 15, 2011.

15th Annual CJBE Conference "Engaged Learning of Mind, Heart, Body, and Spirit"
July 12-14, 2012
Loyola Marymount University
As Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles begins its second century of existence, it is very pleased to host the 2012 CJBE Conference. The above theme for the conference provides a very inclusive backdrop for Jesuit business school colleagues to reflect on their work and share new ideas for optimizing active engagement at our schools, contributing to the important Ignatian goal of "forming men and women for others."
Much recent work on engaged learning emphasizes increased student involvement and participation in the learning process, whether in or outside of the classroom. There are exciting new approaches involving various forms of field learning, community-based learing, project-based learning, service learning, etc. that can enhance student engagement of the important domains of mind, heart, body, and spirit. Other approaches for the classroom class or elsewhere may focus on greater engagement for deeper learning within any one of these essential domains in the learning of the whole person. Track possibilities for CJBE 2012 include the following:
· Teaching and curriculum for enhanced engagement: Issues, challenges, and valuable practices pertinent to Jesuit educators;
· Institutional development: Helping Jesuit schools of business in developing and implementing their missions and strategic plans through new structures, processes, and people that reflect Jesuit values and result in increased campus-wide engagement;
· Faculty development and career planning: Ideas for faculty renewal and increased vitality; faculty life/career planning;
· Research: Theoretical, empirical, applied, interdisciplinary, and other scholarly contributions related to the above topics and themes, with potential for future publication.
Proposal deadline April 2, 2012 for interactive sessions addressing the above track ares of interest (e.g., participative workshops, idea-sharing sessions, best practice panels, recent research, open caucus discussion sessions for assembling participants with similar interests).

Society for Case Research 2012 Annual Meeting

Call for Papers, Critical Incidents, Panel Topics, Embryo Cases
The Society for Case Research (SCR) is one of eleven autonomous associations that meet each March in Chicago for an annual conference coordinated by MBAA International. Attendees may submit papers to multiple associations meeting at the conference (see http://www.mbaainternational.org/conf.php for details).
For SCR Submissions:
Submission Deadline: October 21, 2011. Authors will be notified about the status of their submission(s) by November 30, 2011. Items must be submitted by 5:00 PM (Central) on October 21.The following types of submissions are invited:
Papers that are conceptual or empirical and address topics related to case research, case writing, or case teaching.
Critical Incidents are similar to cases but provide less information upon which to base an analysis, and instead briefly describe a provocative situation upon which the student brings his background and knowledge to arrive at a course of action. Incidents must detail a real situation in a real organization and can be based on either field work or library research. Incidents must be submitted with a Teaching Note including: an Overview of the incident, Teaching Objectives, Discussion Questions (and their Answers), a General Discussion or an
Additional Issues section if needed, any special teaching approaches (e.g., role playing), and an Epilogue if appropriate (see the SCR website at http://www.sfcr.org/for formatting specifics).
Following the conference, critical incidents may be revised and resubmitted. These resubmissions then undergo a double-blind review process for possible publication in the new SCR electronic Journal of Critical Incidents.
Panel Topics may be proposed relating to any aspect of case research, case writing, or case teaching. Proposals should include the names, affiliations and addresses of all participants and a detailed description of the topic of discussion and its relevance to conference attendees.
Embryo Cases consist of ideas, basic outlines, or initial rough drafts of cases from participants who would like to receive constructive feedback and suggestions from published case writers on how to turn these ideas into publishable cases. At a minimum, submissions should include an outline of the case situation and brief descriptions of how the author envisions using the case in class and what students will learn. Guidelines for writing cases and teaching notes are available on the SCR Web site at http://www.sfcr.org
Submissions will be reviewed and supportive feedback will be provided to authors during the conference. The authors leave the conference prepared to write an effective case for submission to the SCR Summer Case Writers Workshop or other similar venue. Embryo Cases are a good opportunity for both experienced case writers and those who are just thinking about getting into case writing to receive suggestions and guidance on turning their ideas into publishable works.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions must be in Microsoft Word 2000 or later and are to be submitted electronically http://scrsubmissions.com/.

Frontiers of Distance Learning in Business Education
Conference held June 8-9, 2012
Fordham University - Westchester Campus, Harrison, NY
(Submission Deadline: January 31, 2012)
Distance education and online learning are interchangeable terms used to describe the delivery of educational content whereby the student and the instructor are separated by geography, time, or both. It is estimated that over one-third of all business schools offer fully online business programs and the number of online credit hours completed by students is expected to grow steadily over the next decade. Considerable attention is therefore now being given by business educators to fine-tuning pedagogical approaches in distance learning in the various sub-disciplines of business. Research on best practices to improve students' learning experiences is growing in both volume and depth.
The objective of this conference, hosted at Fordham University's Westchester (Harrison, NY) campus, is to consolidate state-of-the-art knowledge on distance learning methods, best practices, and research findings as they relate to business education. The conference will provide business educators and administrators with insights on how best to deliver distance learning programs to their students. Research on pedagogical approaches used by distance educators will be the focus of the conference. While the following is a list of potential topics of interest, other related areas of research in distance learning would also be relevant to the conference:
- The impact of distance learning methods on learning outcomes
- Emerging trends in distance education among business schools
- Distance learning methods for undergraduate vs. MBA students
- Faculty perceptions of distance learning methods
- Costs of distance education in business programs
- Evolution of distance learning methods
- Quality control procedures for distance business education
- Segmentation of online students in business schools
- Use of emerging distance education technologies in business programs
- Methods for encouraging interaction in online business courses
- Faculty development needs for mobilizing online business programs
- Team-based online teaching of business courses
- Assessment of online business course outcomes
- Utilization of computer simulations in business courses
- Methods for protecting intellectual property in online business courses
- Online course characteristics and student perceptions of learning
- Prescreening students for online business courses
- Methods for enhancing group interaction
- Employer perceptions of online business programs
- Online pedagogical approaches across business disciplines
Conference papers and abstracts should be submitted by January 31, 2012 to Hooman Estelami (estelami@fordham.edu). Submissions should be in Microsoft Word format and will be subjected to a double-blind peer review process. A selected group of conference submissions may be invited for publication in a forthcoming book titled "Frontiers of Distance Learning in Business Education".

Responsible Investment in Emerging Markets
Greenleaf Publishing invites contributions for an edited volume to be edited by Daphne Biliouri and Dr Rory Sullivan.
Background
Investors see emerging markets as important sources of future growth and returns. The investment case is reinforced by structural drivers such as population growth, changing patterns of consumption and investment in infrastructure in these countries. While the opportunities are obvious, so too are the risks. These include the inevitable changes in social structures that "modernisation" brings, increasing competition for natural resources such as agricultural land, forests and water, and the governance and implementation issues associated with delivering sustainable and equitable development.
These challenges have raised fundamental questions about the net societal benefits of investment and about the social and environmental responsibilities of investors. While "responsible investment" is widely presented as a strategy that enables investors to maximise the financial and social benefits of their activities (and, simultaneously, to reconcile the tensions between these aspects of their activities), there has been relatively little analysis of how responsible investment can be implemented in practice in emerging markets or the outcomes (financial and social) that result from such strategies.
Responsible Investment in Emerging Markets aims to address this gap in the literature by presenting a series of practitioner case studies (including case studies from sovereign wealth funds and investors from emerging markets) that explore and analyse how these organisations have approached responsible investment in emerging markets, the challenges they have encountered and the lessons they have learned. The book will also provide a critical evaluation (from a range of stakeholder perspectives) on the contribution that responsible investment can and could make to the delivery of sustainable development in emerging markets.
Contributions
We are particularly interested in:
Case studies from institutional investors (Western investors, emerging-market investors, sovereign wealth funds, development finance institutions) reflecting on their experiences with responsible investment in emerging markets
Contributions on the following topics:
The role and contribution of international responsible investment initiatives (e.g. UNPRI, UN Global Compact, Equator Principles) in emerging markets
Case studies of responsible investment in particular countries or regions (e.g. Africa, Latin America, Asia)
Case studies of responsible investment in particular asset classes (e.g. infrastructure, the extractive industry, energy) in emerging markets
Emerging-market responsible investment indices
The role of governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other stakeholders in influencing investor action in emerging markets
Stakeholder perspectives on responsible investment
We are looking for contributions of 4-6,000 words in length. Guidance on contributions can be found at http://www.greenleaf-publishing.com/guide_chapter
Schedule
Authors are invited to submit an abstract (300-400 words) for their proposed chapter by 1 November 2011 to Daphne Biliouri at daphne@wsallp.com. We expect to notify contributors about whether their chapters have been selected for inclusion in the edited volume by 1 December 2011, and will request that contributors submit a complete first draft by 1 February 2012.

Call for Papers
Managing the Human Resources in the Supply Chain
Submission deadline: January 7, 2012
The supply chain function in organizations has evolved significantly in recent decades as a result of globalization and technological changes and has become very complex. Neither the
Supply Chain literature nor the Human Resource Management literature has kept sufficient pace with these changes. Although recent work in the SCM/HRM overlap has focused on topics such as new job types for the 21st century supply chain, and buyer influence and knowledge transfer in the HR domain to vendors in the supply chain, the literature still needs to go much further in this regard. This special issue focuses on the entire set of HR practices geared specially towards the supply chain to better understand its unique characteristics and the role it plays in broader organizational success and competitive advantage.
The supply chain environment is characterized by a global spread in which communications and interactions are increasingly take place through technology interfaces. It is said that all work in the supply chain function takes place outside the direct vision of any supervisor (Bowersox, Closs, & Cooper, 2000). For that reason, the level of complexity and uncertainty in the supply chain is often higher than in other functions. Effective management of the supply chain therefore demands excellence in managing its human resources. Strategic management of the people that work in the supply chain is important to contribute to the overall performance of the supply chain and therefore the entire organization. It is in this context that we call for papers addressing the entire range of HR and behavioral issues including leadership as they apply to various aspects of the supply chain.
The guest editors invite and encourage you to submit your research to the special issue entitled, "Managing the Human Resources in the Supply Chain" Submissions may address but are not restricted to the following topics:
• The role of the human resources in supply chain success
• Skills, capabilities and other job requirements for employees working in the supply chain
• Talent Management in the supply chain
• HR best practices for the Supply Chain
• Managing change and flexibility in the supply chain
• Supplier development with special focus on Human Resources
• Knowledge sharing on HR practices in the Supply Chain
• HR capability for IT applications in the Supply Chain
• Training systems and practices for better buyer-seller relationships
• HR for Sustainable Supply Chain Management
• Workplace management systems for the Supply Chain
• Supply chain behavior / Employee attitudes and their correlates in the Supply Chain
• Job evaluation and performance management in the supply chain
• Leadership in the supply chain
• Managing intra-organizational and/or cross-cultural supply chain teams
We are interested in all types of well designed and rigorously performed academic research, including – conceptual papers, empirical research, quantitative papers and papers based on qualitative research methodologies. – that are research oriented with significant attention to pragmatic issues. We encourage authors to submit their research contributing to theory development based on in-depth case studies.
Publication schedule
The Deadline for submission is January 7, 2012
Final version of papers due June 15, 2012
Notification of final acceptance September 15, 2012
The special issue is expected to appear January 15, 2013
Accepted submissions will be subject to a double blind peer review process. Manuscripts should follow the submission guidelines of the journal which can be found at http://www.supplychain-forum.com/for-authors.cfm

California Management Review CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue: Achieving Strategic Agility in Hypercompetitive Environments
Editor: Prof. David Vogel
Guest Editors:
Prof. Yaakov Weber, Chair, Strategy and Entrepreneurship Department, School of Business Administration, College of Management, Israel
Dr. Shlomo Yedidia, School of Business Administration, College of Management, Israel
The competitive landscape has been shifting in recent years more than ever. Globalization, rapid technological changes, codification of knowledge, the Internet, talent and employee mobility, increased rates of knowledge transfer, imitation, changes in customer tastes, the obsolescence of products and business models – have all caused a turbulent environment and accelerated changes and disruptions. These trends are expected to continue in the future, producing ever more rapid and unpredictable changes. Current concepts such as sustained competitive advantage, resource-based view, and strategic planning have been deemed vague, tautological, and inadequate for companies to cope with the rate and complexity of environmental and market changes (e.g., Kraaijenbrink, Spender and Groen, 2010; Lado, Boyd, Wright and Kroll, 2006).
In a chaotic environment in which markets emerge, collide, split, evolve, and die one of the primary determinants of a firm’s success is strategic agility, the ability to remain flexible in facing new developments, to continuously adjust the company’s strategic direction, and to develop innovative ways to create value. There is a tension between formal processes of strategic planning that require strategic commitments for a course of action and opportunistic strategic agility. Strategic planning has been criticized for preparing plans for tomorrow based on yesterday’s actions, concepts, and tools. Although strategic planning can help in specific situations, it usually creates an inertia that prevents fast adaptation when circumstances change or market discontinuities occur. Strategic agility requires inventing new business models and new categories rather than rearranging old products and categories. To cope with growing strategic discontinuities and disruptions, scholars have suggested the creation of strategically agile companies, including new ways for managing business transformation and renewal, developing dynamic capabilities, creating imitation abilities, maintain a high level of organizational flexibility, developing learning and knowledge transfer skills, using adaptive corporate culture, optimizing human resource scalability, and more (e.g., Doz and Kosonen, 2010; Dyer and Ericksen, 2005; Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000; Shenkar, 2010a; Weber, Tarba, and Reichel, 2011; Wilson and Doz, 2011).
The goal of this special issue is to stimulate authors to redefine the spectrum of means and processes available to create and use strategic agility. The issue challenges authors to provide the frameworks that managers can use to integrate, develop, and reconfigure competences and resources required to deal with hypercompetitive markets. Given markets discontinuities and the rapidly increasing pace of change, companies need new and agile paradigms.
We invite papers that focus on strategic agility in both the national and international arenas. We encourage contributions that address but are not limited to the following topics:
§ What are the origins, components, and outcomes of strategic agility?
§ What are the roles of early warning systems, communication, learning, scanning, knowledge transfer, training, managerial rotation, and rewarding in the development of strategically agile companies?
§ What is the relationship between strategic agility on one hand and organizational flexibility, modular organizational forms, conflicts and confrontations, dynamic capabilities (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000), imitation (Shenkar, 2010b), cultural characteristics (Weber, Tarba, and Reichel, 2011), human resource management (Shafer, Dyer, Kilty, Amos, and Ericksen, 2001) and other existing and emerging concepts?
§ What insights can perspectives from strategy, economics, organizational behavior, international management, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines provide into the nature, antecedents, processes, and effects of strategic agility?
§ Do strategic sensitivity and resource fluidity (Doz and Kosonen, 2008; 2010) create only a temporary advantage or can they improve performance in both short and the long term?
§ What is the role of strategic agility in mergers and acquisitions, given their high failure rate? For example, what is the importance of strategic agility components at the pre-merger planning stage (e.g., due diligence, scanning, and screening), the negotiation stage (Weber, Belkin, and Tarba, 2011), and during post-merger integration? What is the effect of various practices (communication, training) within the context of different national cultures (Weber, Rachman-Moore, and Tarba, 2011), and of integration approaches such as symbiosis (Weber, Tarba, and Rozen Bachar, 2011) and hybrid integration (Schweizer, 2005) on strategic agility?
§ What are the profiles of strategically agile multinational corporations?
§ Do changes in partners' resources and capabilities cause loss of flexibility to joint ventures, resulting in a high rate of failure? When and how should new modular organization forms be applied in the creation of strategic alliances?
§ When should management embrace intuitive, improvisational, and action-oriented forms of decision making for the sake of effectiveness?
Please bear in mind that CMR publishes primarily original articles that are research based and address issues of current concern to managers.

Critical perspectives on the globally mobile professional and managerial class
Special issue call for papers from critical perspectives on international business
"Critical perspectives on the globally mobile professional and managerial class"
The postcolonial thinker Edward Said (1978, 1993) noted that migration was the great marker of our time and that with the increasing global movement of people there would be increasing ‘inter-cultural’ contact. When viewed through the ‘lens’ of critical organization and management studies, the processes and types of mobility, movement and migration in today’s ‘globalized’ environment present interesting possibilities for a reformulation and reconsideration of mobility within contemporary global capitalism.
In particular, there seems to be much room for the critical study of managerial and professional mobility and movement in business and organization studies, and specifically the idea of the "transnational capitalist class". Beyond conventional expatriation, there are many new kinds of mobility occurring that involve the transnational capitalist class in the contemporary global business environment. They have yet to be exposed to critical investigation in a sustained fashion. In Western-based multinational companies these include the development of mobile ‘global elites’ and increasing numbers of short-term, commuter and rotational assignments and assignees (Dickmann and Doherty, 2010; McKenna and Richardson, 2007; Suutari, 2003).
The implications of these systems and forms of mobility in the broader context of ‘globalization’ and global capitalism have yet to be significantly explored from a critical perspective. In addition, the so-called self-initiated expatriate (SIE) has recently come under scrutiny. The SIE is an individual who ‘expatriates’ independently of an organizational sponsor. Much of the research on the SIE has been conducted on and with professionals moving from Western countries to other parts of the world (Jokinen, Brewster and Suutari, 2008; Myers and Pringle, 2005; Richardson, 2006; Selmer and Lauring, 2010; Tharenou and Caulfield, 2010). While there has been some more critical work undertaken on the ‘whiteness’ of these SIEs and emigrants in the broader sociological literature (Leonard, 2010), very little has been undertaken from a critical paradigm specific to business and organizations.
In this special issue, then, we seek papers that subject the globally mobile managerial and professional class, particularly in the context of business and organizational studies, to critical investigation.
The list below presents illustrative topics for contributions:
• How can we conceptualize organizational and self-initiated managerial professional global mobility critically?
• To what extent do globally mobile professionals represent a transnational capitalist class operating in the interests of global capital? How do this growing transnational class reflect changes in the global labour process?
• To what extent are those who are globally mobile professionals, both within organizational contexts and SIE’s engaging in ‘Imperial careering’? What are the elements of ‘Imperial careering’ in the contemporary business world and how can we link it to a postcolonial analysis?
• Who are the globally mobile elite and why are they being created by corporations? What purposes do a globally mobile elite perform within multinational corporations that maintain and enhance discourses and structures of multinational power and dominance?
• What is the impact of global mobile professionals on the locations to which they move? How is ‘whiteness’ important in this mobility and in forms of racial hierarchicalization in host locations? How can we conceptualize and empirically research globally mobile professionals from non-metropolitan centres? What are the gendered aspects of professional global mobility?
• What do concepts such as hybridization and mimicry offer a critical analysis of mobility and how has hybridization in particular been appropriated by multinational corporations?
• How do globally mobile professionals impact the host countries from a critical perspective?
• How does the movement of the global professional and managerial class underpin a globalized system of neoliberalism? Do the global professional and managerial class constitute a group from all parts of the world who cross borders in support of global capital?
We welcome theoretical, conceptual and empirical papers that explore and investigate the critical dimensions of the global mobility of professionals and managers as a developing transnational capitalist class.
