Journal of Operations Management Call for Papers

Special Issue: “Operations Management, Entrepreneurship, and Value Creation: Emerging Opportunities in a Cross-Disciplinary Context”

Editors:

Jill R. Kickul, Stern School of Business, New York University
Jayanth Jayaram, Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina
Mark D. Griffiths, Farmer School of Business, Miami University
Stephan M. Wagner, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich

What can be learned by investigating the interface between operations management and entrepreneurship? This special issue seeks innovative manuscripts that tackle the interrelationship between both disciplines and stimulate new lines of inquiry. The editors seek a broad range of theoretically relevant papers that are empirically focused. Here are several research suggestions that may be interesting and highly provocative to both disciplines, although manuscripts that address the special issue theme but are not covered below are also welcome:

• From an operations management perspective, how do emerging entrepreneurial firms (e-firms) create efficiencies in production, distribution, sourcing, and product and service development? How does operations management help and facilitate renewal processes? How do these processes relate to venturing?
• Are the supply chain strategies in e-firms different based on industry clockspeed? How do e-firms weigh the benefits and costs in outsourcing? What are the short- and long-term implications of performance measurement schemes in e-firms? How do e-firms develop partnerships that create outsourcing opportunities and needed support functions as the firm grows?
• Can entrepreneurial, economic and/or technology development be examined as a value chain? What can be learned from supply chain management, sustainability and other process management skills?
• How do operations and supply chain management reinforce firm entrepreneurial orientation and increase performance? How do they relate to proactiveness and innovativeness?
• How do intrapreneurs/innovators create, develop, and deploy new methods to bring products and services to market? What new facilities, operations, and systems must be in place for an existing firm to benefit from new product/service offerings?

Authors are encouraged to present research that makes significant contributions to both the operations management and entrepreneurship literature. This includes developing and testing core elements of existing theories from both disciplines as well as integrating different theories and contributions that have a substantial influence on both fields.
