Handbook of Strategy Process Research
Call for papers:
We are soliciting paper proposals (1 page) for the Handbook of Strategy Process Research that will be published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
The Handbook of Strategy Process Research is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of strategy process related topics for scholars interested in strategy process. By the chosen topics, however, the book should also appeal to the wider audience of strategy and entrepreneurship scholars. The book will be edited by Pietro Mazzola (Iulm University and Bocconi University) and Franz Kellermanns (Mississippi State University).
Both senior as well as young scholars have already agreed to contribute papers to the book. Amongst others, the following scholars have already agreed to participate: Joe Astrachan, John Carr, Jim Chrisman, Jess Chua, Vittorio Coda, Greg Dess, Steven Floyd, Charles Fombrun, Dev Jennings, Christoph Lechner, Tom Lumpkin, Gaia Marchisio, Edoardo Mollona, Markus Venzin, Jorge Walter, Bill Wooldridge and Kenneth Zantow.
We are soliciting proposals for four sections of the book.
The first section will contain general reflections on strategy process related topics. This section will be dominated by senior scholars in the field of strategy process. Here, the genesis and future directions for strategy process research will be elaborated on.
The second section will contain strategy process related essays pertaining intended strategies. Here scholars may present research regarding different approaches which managers may use to develop a new strategy (or to rejuvenate an old one), as well as critical processes needed to put it into action.
The third section will contain strategy process related essays pertaining to emerging strategies. Here, scholars will present research regarding the contribution of corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial orientation to the strategy process, as well as the processes through which managers select and support the most appropriate strategic initiatives.
The final section of the book will contain strategy process related essays pertaining to special topics that have not been widely investigated in strategy process research, but offer tremendous promise for the field. Here scholars will present research regarding the specificity of strategy-making processes in extraordinary situations (crises, alliances, mergers and acquisitions) as well as in special firm categories (family firms, financial services industries, international companies).
We are now soliciting proposals (1/page max) for each of the four sections of the book by March 15th. Final contributions will have a page limit of 30 double spaced pages including text, tables, figures and references. Papers will be subject to editorial and/or peer review.
