International Journal of Opportunity, Growth and Value Creation (IJOGVC)
Call for papers
Inaugural Issue on: "OPPORTUNITY" – including, but not limited to issues related to the Identification - Recognition - Creation - Selection - Exploitation of Opportunities
Editors:
Terrence Brown, SIMI, Copenhagen, Denmark
Sacha Kraus, Salzburg University of Applied Science, Austria
The IJOGVC proposes and fosters discussion on the organisational processes surrounding the concepts of opportunity, growth and value creation. Because the exploitation of opportunities, the subsequent growth of organisations around these opportunities and the value created by both processes are so vital to the creation and redistribution of societal wealth, the development and the dissemination of more systematic knowledge are required.
Whilst some preliminary and traditional efforts in this direction have been taken, IJOGVC is open to new, creative and innovative research approaches, designs and methods. In an attempt to bridge the gap between research and practice, it emphasises the implications of this new knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and business educators.
Objectives
The objective of IJOGVC is to provide an international forum in the field of management with the particular focus on the phenomena of opportunity, growth and value creation by publishing quality research articles. It also aims to promote and to coordinate developments in these fields of management. As these areas have both industrial and societal implications, IJOGVC encourages the broadening and deepening of thought in these fields.
Furthermore, IJOGVC has been established to be an effective channel of communication between researchers, managers, and policy makers as well others concerned with the complex and dynamic role of opportunity, growth and value creation in society. The international dimension is emphasised in acknowledgement of the growing globalisation of business and management and in order to overcome cultural and national barriers.
Readership
IJOGVC provides a vehicle to help academics, professionals, researchers and policy makers, working in the field of entrepreneurship, strategy, management and business education, to create and to disseminate quality knowledge. The journal also provides a forum to allow interested parties to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJOGVC publishes original papers, conceptual papers, empirical papers, review papers, case studies, relevant reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in Opportunity, Growth and Value Creation and related topics will be published occasionally.
