Apologies for cross-posting.
We would like to bring to your attention a forthcoming Special Issue in the
Journal of Management Studies, "Field-Configuring Events as Structuring
Mechanisms." It will examine how events such as conferences, ceremonies,
and trade shows constitute new technologies, industries, and markets. The
deadline for submissions is 1 February 2006.
We welcome a broad range of methods and research designs. The Call for
Papers is online at:
http://www.lcb.uoregon.edu/departments/mgmt/jmscall/index.html
(Click on 'Read more' under Call for papers).
We hope that you will submit a paper for the Special Issue. We would also
greatly appreciate your help in getting the word out to your friends,
colleagues, and students. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Joe Lampel, Alan Meyer, Marc Ventresca
