CfP -- Special Issue
International Journal of Organisational Design and Engineering (IJODE)
Deadline: March 15, 2011
Special Issue on
'Organizational Design and Engineering Challenges for
Inter-Organizational Collaboration and Competition'
Globalization, market deregulation, shorter product life cycles, the
pressure to constantly innovate, and the need to follow the customer
require businesses to decentralize, distribute work, collaborate with
stakeholders and establish new organizational structures. Firms have to
manage numerous external collaborative relationships with corporate
partners such as other companies, customers, or even politics.
Furthermore, traditional internal structures are being broken up in
order to give way to more flexible and responsive work setups.
Innovative technologies provide new opportunities and tools for
companies to manage these challenges. Enterprise systems as well as
social software is used to collaboratively produced knowledge and
content. It is time for organizations to implement these novel tools and
philosophies to create new collaboration models, realize cooperative
concepts such as open innovation and customer integration approaches,
and to manage, govern, and actively maintain inter- and
intra-organizational collaboration. The new collaboration technologies
can be used - when properly applied - to help businesses solve pressing
problems, capture dispersed and fast-changing knowledge, highlight and
leverage expertise, generate and refine ideas.
We are pleased to invite scholars from any methodological background to
contribute papers that advance our knowledge of the diffusion,
appropriation, usage, impact, and role of collaboration technologies, in
the context usage of social software in intra- and inter-organizational
networks. We welcome theoretical, conceptual, design-oriented and
especially empirical contributions using both qualitative and
quantitative research methods. Research efforts might focus on different
organization relations such as business to business, business to
customer or business to other stakeholder.
Papers in this focus theme section might address, but are not limited to
one or more of the following areas:
Theory Foundation

inter-organizational collaborations technologies and management concepts
