Call for Papers - Special Issue on "Ethics and Operations Research"
Guest Editors Marc Le Menestrel, University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain marc.lemenestrel@upf.edu Luk N. Van Wassenhove, INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France Consideration of ethical values puts Operational Research/Management Science (OR/MS) in the broader context of sustainable development, including concern for the natural environment, societal and human evolution, business ethics and corporate responsibility. Although ethics can hardly be dissociated from the theoretical, practical and institutional dimensions of the management sciences, there remains ambiguity and skepticism as to the form this relation might and should take. This results in a lack of representation of ethics within mainstream management sciences. A critical assessment of OR/MS, with clearly articulated ethical values, as well as constructive proposals for improvement, should contribute to the promotion of ethics within mainstream management sciences. We call for state-of-the-art papers covering the relation between ethical values and OR/MS at the theoretical, practical and institutional levels. Submitted papers should favor the integration of ethical values within OR/MS where OR/MS is broadly defined as an analytical approach to help solve managerial decision problems. Among the topics that would be welcomed are:
Authors should submit their paper via EES http://www.ees.elsevier.com/omega/ and indicate in the title "Special Issue: Ethics and Operational Research ” Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere . Refereeing and the selection of papers will be carried out according to the standards of OMEGA. For details related to the page format for submission to OMEGA, please check the webpage : http://www.omegajournal.org/authors.html. The submission deadline is September 30, 2007 The Special Issue is scheduled for publication in 2008.

The Journal of Consumer Behaviour Type: Journal Special Issue Focus: International Business, Economics
Corporate Strategies in the New Asia: Management in China, Japan and South Korea between Competition and Co-operation February 1-2, 2008 - Bremen, Germany Following the first highly successful workshop in Leeds in January 2007, we are pleased to announce the second international workshop dedicated to Asian management issues which will be hold by the Department of Japanese Economy and Society at the School of Business and Management, Hochschule Bremen. The workshop will focus on corporate strategies and managerial styles in Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies. The workshop will address the following questions in particular: What is the connection of Asias economic success with corporate strategies? Can we see common pattern in the managerial styles of Asian companies? What can Western companies learn from Asian management approaches and what are suitable answers to cope with Asian competitors? Japanese management strategies have gained remarkable attention among scholars and business practitioners in the 1980s. The burst of the Bubble Economy in the early 1990s led to a decline in popularity of Japan as a role model. Attention turned to China which experienced tremendous economic growth in the last decade. In the meantime South Koreas economy - which suffered a blowback after the Asian Crisis 1997/98 - prospered again with growth rates up to six per cent in recent years. While China is on the way to become the new economic superpower, recent figures underline the assumption that Japanese companies are back on stage, too. Companies like Toyota are reporting top results while the Japanese economy as a whole is on a steady growth path again. Given that the regional economic integration in North East Asia will continue, it seems fair to assume that a New Asia is emerging with major impact for the world economy. This observation suggests itself to ask for the underlying patterns of success of this New Asia? Is there, and if so, what is the connection between this economic success and corporate strategies? Is there a move towards a unified (Anglo-American) strategy or do companies in the region apply alternative managerial styles? If so, are these approaches more consensual or is competition also the driving force in todays Asian management? Those are the major question this workshop will address. In the end we also hope to find some answers to the question of what Western companies can learn from Asian management approaches and what suitable answers could be to cope with Asian competitors. Interested colleagues from academia and businesses are invited to participate in this workshop. The program will comprise a keynote presentation, paper presentations, a panel discussion and a poster session. The poster session shall be a forum in which to share ideas with colleagues by presenting ongoing research projects, case studies, and innovative views. Especially junior researchers are encouraged to submit proposals for the poster session. ABSTRACTS AND PROPOSALS Submissions may address practical, theoretical, and/or empirical approaches to any of the questions addressed in the workshop outline. All submissions will be reviewed by a jury that will consider the relevance to the workshop topics and the quality of the contribution. The organisers invite prospective participants to submit paper proposals for the workshop at first. Proposals should not exceed 200 words (RTF or Word format). Please make sure that your proposal includes a cover page with your name, position, affiliation, title of paper, and contact details (including email address). The abstract itself must not contain information that could identify the author(s). The deadline for submission of paper abstracts is 30 October 2007. Acceptance for presentation in the workshop will be confirmed by mid-November. Proposals should be send as e-mail attachment to: Prof. Dr. Tim Goydke Hochschule Bremen School of Business and Management E-Mail: tgoydke@fbw.hs-bremen.de SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Accepted contributors are encouraged to limit their papers to 20 pages (A-4 paper, font 12, double spacing with margins of 2,5 cm/1 inch), including the cover page, abstract, text, references, table and figures. The full paper should be in PDF or Word format.
