This special issue will focus on the management of innovation in emerging
economies with widespread impact such as Brazil, China, India, and Russia.
This is a timely effort, since emerging economies are increasingly an
important driving force in the world economy. In line with a recent report
by the Economist (Sep 16, 2006), we define emerging economies as countries
that were not OECD members prior to 1994, regardless of their current
status. Because of the vast differences in education, political, economic,
and geographical factors, the challenges faced by technology managers and
entrepreneurs in these markets are numerous and multi-faceted. The emphasis
of this special issue is on the management of innovation, engineering, and
technology at the firm level rather than macroeconomic national
policy-level.
Given the differences and uneven levels of development among emerging
economies, what and how should different types of innovations be introduced
and managed in these countries? In what ways should local companies manage
their 'indigenous' innovations? How relevant or useful are existing
innovation theories and practices that have primarily been developed in
western countries when they are applied to China, for example? What are the
'new' theories? Surrounding these and related questions are a broad range of
topics in innovation and technology management. We particularly welcome
papers on managing innovation in emerging economies in the following areas:
Innovation strategies . R&D management
Intellectual property management and strategy . University-industry
technology transfer
Disruptive innovation . Human resource issues
Managing indigenous technologies . Strategic alliances
Technological entrepreneurship . Organization structures and
cultures
We seek both research and practice articles which will enhance our
understanding of the topic. Research articles are empirical or conceptual
papers that present the results of research, new theories which integrate
existing literature, or state-of-the-art models in the relevant areas.
Practice papers describe significant application issues, innovative case
studies or actual implementations of existing concepts or methodology. These
papers describe complex real-life situations requiring innovative solutions.
They use rigor in their arguments, build upon appropriate literature, and
reach conclusions that will have an impact on research and practice.
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2008. Papers should be submitted
electronically to
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tem-ieee. The cover letter
should indicate that the paper is being submitted to the special issue on
innovation in emerging economies. Initial editorial decisions will be
reached in June, and publication should occur in 2009.
