Dear colleague,
We are writing to inform you that the Congress of the International
Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM): “Creativity and
Innovation in an International Context,” will be held in Valencia (Spain)
in June, 2010. Eight editors of leading journals will participate in this
1st Congress. It is organized by the Editor Network INBAM and the
Departments of Management from the Universitat de València (Estudi
General) and the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.
The Congress will take place at the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty
of Business Administration of these two institutions from June 1st
(Tuesday) to June 4th (Friday), 2010. The following editors-in-chief have
confirmed their presence and participation: Robert Blackburn
(International Small Business Journal), David Audretsch (Small Business
Economics), Theresa Welbourne (Human Resource Management), Slawek Magala
(Journal of Organizational Change Management), Gary Akehurst (Service
Industries Journal), Adrian Ziderman (International Journal of Manpower),
Rick D. Hackett (Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences), and Linda
Canina (Cornell Hospitality Quarterly).
The overall theme of the Congress, “Creativity and Innovation in an
International Context,” will be broken down into subtopics, with a total
of eight sessions, one for each journal resulting in sessions on
innovation and creativity in relation to small and medium-sized
enterprises (for the ISBJ), entrepreneurship (for SBE), human resource
management (for HRM), organizational change (for the JOCM), services (for
the SIJ), the organization of work (for the IJM) or the Virtuous
Organization (for the CJAS), hospitality and tourism (for CHQ). In this
way, the various areas can be adapted to the different streams of research
and editorial policies of each journal and editor participating at the
Congress.
The journal editor corresponding to each area will open the session with
an outline of how to publish in that journal. Authors will then go on to
present the papers chosen for each session.
One of the aims of the Congress is to select papers that, depending on the
specialty of the journal and the quality of the papers, will constitute
special issues of each of the eight journals.
The selection and review of articles will be carried out, firstly, by the
INBAM and the Congress Advisory Committee; Those papers that do not reach
the required standards of quality and rigour demanded by these journals,
in terms of theoretical framework and methodology, will not be accepted
for presentation at the Congress. Papers should be highly relevant, with a
clear orientation to the overall theme of the Conference and/or the
research focus favoured by the journals.
A maximum of 15 papers per session will then be selected for presentation
at the Congress. A team of three will be responsible for each of the
subtopics (presented in the sessions or areas) and they will serve as
guest editors for the special issues.
Once the Congress has concluded, the guest editors for each session will
decide which papers are to be recommended for inclusion in the special
issues of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality of
submissions, up to half of the best papers will be published in the
special issues of these SSCI journals. This will make this and subsequent
Congresses organized by the Editor Network of the International Network of
Business and Management Journals (INBAM) quite unique. The issues will be
published the year following after the Congress.
The deadline for submitting papers is 1st December, 2009. The Congress

With the best wishes,
