Dear Colleagues,

Preparation for the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC) 2011 Conference in Montreal, Quebec is well under way. We invite scholars and doctoral students to submit empirical and theoretical papers or symposia to the Strategy Division, in English or French. The research should focus on Business Policy and Strategy and other related disciplines. It could employ a variety of methodologies from statistical, simulation, mathematical modelling to case studies, and using multiple level of analysis including the firm, industry and country.

Paper Submission

• Original papers, written in English or French, should be submitted electronically to the Strategy Division. All submissions should be made in Microsoft Word format only. Other formats (such as PDF) will not be accepted. Since submissions will be reviewed in a double blind manner, please ensure that your work is anonymized such that the identity and institutional affiliation of the author(s) are not evident. All contributions will be peer reviewed, and selected papers will be included in the Proceedings.
• Papers must conform to the ASAC Typing Style Guide (http://asac2011.uqam.ca/ASAC%202011%20%20TYPING%20STYLE%20GUIDE.pdf) and must not exceed fifteen (15) single-spaced pages (use Times New Roman 11), including all author information, the title of the paper, maximum 50-word abstract, all footnotes and endnotes, all tables, figures, and appendices but excluding references. On a separate page, indicate the names, affiliations, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses of the authors and to whom all communications should be directed [Students should also indicate their status and the school in which they are enrolled.]
• All contributions must be submitted via the conference webpage (www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asac2011) no later than February 1^st, 2011. Late contributions or contributions made directly to divisional executive members will not be accepted.

Symposia and Workshops

Members interested in organizing a symposium or workshop should prepare a detailed description of its overall purpose and the specific role of each participant and submit it via the conference webpage (www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asac2011) no later than February 1^st, 2011. The same quality requirements and blind review procedures apply as for paper submissions.

ASAC Conference Policies

1. The submitted paper - in whole or in part - has not been published or presented elsewhere or be under consideration for presentation at another conference.
2. Once the paper has been submitted, no changes to authorship are permitted.
3. Authors may submit papers in two ways: (a) for consideration for presentation and for inclusion in the conference proceedings (default submission); and (b) for presentation only with a request that the paper not be included in the proceedings. The latter must be noted with the submission. To be considered for a Best Paper Award, papers must be submitted for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. To be considered for a Best Student Paper Award, papers must be authored solely by students, and their status must be indicated on the first page of the paper. Authors may not withdraw their papers from inclusion in the conference proceedings after May 1st. 
4. At least one author will register for the conference by May 1^st. In the absence of this registration, the paper will be removed from the divisional program, the proceedings (if applicable), and consideration for any divisional awards.
5. At least one author of a submitted paper will present their paper, should it be accepted. Substitute presenters who are not co-authors of the originally submitted papers are not permitted.
6. Authors may not submit the same paper or substantially the same paper to more than one division. 
7. Individuals may be associated with a maximum of three submissions (whether they are case studies, papers, or symposium proposals). This rule is intended to: (a) reduce the frequencies of scheduling conflicts in the program; and (b) encourage participation from a broader cross section of the membership.
8. Symposium proposals can be jointly submitted to up to three divisions. However, the names of the divisions must be noted in the symposium proposal. This permits the divisional officers to co-ordinate their program development efforts if, indeed, a symposium proposal is accepted.

Call for Reviewers

As Academic Reviewer for the Strategy Division, I would be honoured if you would agree to serve as a Reviewer for our division. Reviewers will examine one to two manuscripts between February 1^st and March 1^st, 2011. Within this relatively short time to review submissions, Reviewers must be able to analyze the quality of the manuscripts they receive and send reviews back by March 1^st 2011.


Would you please take a few minutes to complete the enclosed Invitation Form? I hope that you will be able to help the Strategy Division of ASAC in this important role. You can also send me an email indicating your willingness to serve as a Reviewer. Thank you very much in advance.

The ASAC 2011 Conference is hosted by the School of Business Administration (ESG) at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) in downtown Montreal. The conference will be held on the ESG-UQAM campus. The conference date coincides with the Montreal Jazz Festival and with the Canada Day long weekend. Montreal’s cosmopolitan flair and joie de vivre provides a fantastic backdrop for not only sharing perspectives and research, but also renewing relationships and connections within and across disciplines. We look forward to see you there! More information could be found on the conference website at www.asac2011.uqam.ca.

Best regards,
