2010 INBAM Conference Annual Meeting-indexed journals
Dear colleague,
Because of the year end holidays in many countries, the INBAM submission
portal will remain open until 28 February.
Once the Conference has concluded, the guest editors for each session will
decide which papers are to be recommended for inclusion in the special
issues of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality of
submissions, up to half of the best papers will be published in the
special issues of these SSCI journals. This will make this and subsequent
events organized by the Editor Network of the International Network of
Business and Management Journals (INBAM) quite unique. The issues will be
published the year following after the Conference.
The Conference will take place at the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty
of Business Administration of these two institutions from June 1st
(Tuesday) to June 4th (Friday), 2010. The following editors-in-chief have
confirmed their presence and participation: Robert Blackburn
(International Small Business Journal), David Audretsch (Small Business
Economics), Theresa Welbourne (Human Resource Management), Slawek Magala
(Journal of Organizational Change Management), Gary Akehurst (Service
Industries Journal), Adrian Ziderman (International Journal of Manpower),
Rick D. Hackett (Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences), and Linda
Canina (Cornell Hospitality Quarterly).
The overall theme of the Conference, "Creativity and Innovation in an
International Context," will be broken down into subtopics, with a total
of eight sessions (two are closed currently), one for each journal
resulting in sessions on innovation and creativity in relation to small
and medium-sized enterprises (for the ISBJ, it is closed),
entrepreneurship (for SBE, it is closed), human resource management (for
HRM), organizational change (for the JOCM), services (for the SIJ), the
influence of managers and employees characteristics on creativity and
innovation (for the IJM), the Virtuous Organization (for the CJAS),
hospitality and tourism (for CHQ). In this way, the various areas can be
adapted to the different streams of research and editorial policies of
each journal and editor participating at the Conference.
The journal editor corresponding to each area will open the session with
an outline of how to publish in that journal. Authors will then go on to
present the papers chosen for each session.
One of the aims of the Conference is to select papers that, depending on
the specialty of the journal and the quality of the papers, will
constitute special issues of each of the eight journals.
The selection and review of articles will be carried out, firstly, by the
INBAM and the Conference Scientific Committee. Those papers that do not
reach the required standards of quality and rigour demanded by these
journals, in terms of theoretical framework and methodology, will not be
accepted for presentation at the Conference. Papers should be highly
relevant, with a clear orientation to the overall theme of the Conference
and/or the research focus favoured by the journals.
A maximum of 15 papers per session will then be selected for presentation
at the Conference. A team of three will be responsible for each of the
subtopics (presented in the sessions or areas) and they will serve as
guest editors for the special issues.
With the best wishes,
INBAM (
