Submission guidelines
---------------------
ISC will consider unpublished original paper proposals relating to the
above topics of interest. International and global perspectives are
encouraged. Proposals can be conceptual or empirical, quantitative or
qualitative. Published papers or papers that were accepted for publication
prior to the submission deadline will not be considered for the
conference. We seek to accept a relatively small number of high-quality
papers that target top tier academic journals. Submitted papers will go
through a double blind review by a panel of several reviewers. Submissions
will be evaluated based on their academic rigor, relevance, and
contribution to the field of strategic management. Accepted proposals will
be assigned to paper sessions or interactive sessions based on this
evaluation.
The deadline for online submissions of paper proposals is June 15th, 2010.
Paper proposals, written in English, should clearly identify the research
questions and methodology. If available, the main results, implications,
and contributions should also be briefly discussed. Paper proposals are
limited to 2 pages of text and 1 additional page of references. Use double
spacing with 1-inch margins all around and a font size no smaller than 11
pt. The title of your paper must be included in the header of the proposal
and should exactly match the title provided in the online submission form.
Please do not include any author identifying information in the proposal.
To submit the paper proposal, upload your proposal in a Word or PDF file
format to the Submissions Section of the ISC website at:
http://www.isc.org.il/ where additional guidelines will be provided. As
part of the submission process you will be required to enter your contact
details and affiliation, list your co-authors, and select a topic category
that best applies to your paper. Presenting authors must be available to
present their papers any time during the conference. There will be no
changes in the program to accommodate specific time preferences. If the
presenting author cannot be available during December 28-29, please don’t
submit a proposal. An author may be designated as the presenter of only
one paper, but can be listed as a co-author of up to 3 papers.
The Submission Section of the ISC website will open in April, 2010 and
will be available until June 15, 2010. Notices to authors will be sent in
August, 2010, indicating whether the proposed paper has been selected for
inclusion in the conference program, and whether it has been accepted to a
paper session or an interactive session. Authors of accepted papers will
be required to submit a short abstract and the full-length paper (for
paper sessions) by November 1st, 2010. Presenting authors must register to
the conference by September 1st, 2010. The conference program, with a
detailed schedule of sessions and events will be released in November,
2010.
ISC Best Paper Award
--------------------
Select paper proposals which receive the highest assessment in the review
process will be nominated as finalists for the ISC Best Paper Award. The
finalists will be asked to submit a full paper for an additional blind-
review process by a distinguished panel. The selected winner(s) of the ISC
Best Paper Award will receive a plaque and a $1,000 cash prize sponsored
by Rotem Strategy, an Israeli-based strategy consulting firm. The winning
paper will be announced in the concluding session of ISC.
Conference format
-----------------
The conference will start with a reception and a special session which
will be held on the evening of December 27th. Papers will be assigned to
various session formats based on common themes, scheduled on December 28-
29, 2010. Each author whose paper is accepted for presentation in a paper
session will be given 15 minutes to present the paper. Following the
presentations, designated discussants who have carefully read the papers
will present their main comments and provide suggestions for improving the
papers and getting them ready for publication. Discussants will also offer
an integration of the papers presented in their sessions, which will be
followed by questions from and general discussion by the audience. In
addition, the conference will feature themed interactive sessions which
will offer authors the opportunity to interactively present their papers
and discuss them with the audience. The conference will also feature
