CFP Special Issue of Journal of Business Research

Posted on December 12, 2013 by webmaster

Leaving Pleasantville: Transforming beyond Self in Everyday Life

Call for Papers for JBR Special Issue

Deadline: 30 September 2014

The Journal of Business Research invites authors to submit manuscripts for a Special Issue on “Leaving Pleasantville: Transforming beyond Self in Everyday Life.” The manuscript submission deadline is 30 September 2014. The co-editors of the special issue seek manuscripts that address transformations of all forms and processes of transformation in the lives of individuals.

Scope of the Issue. The plan for the JBR special issue is to describe and explain micro and macro transformations of self beyond everyday life involving the dynamics of new thinking, buying, experiencing-doing, traveling, rebelling, witnessing, and socializing. What follows are some suggestive examples. A movie, Pleasantville, provides an emotional foundation for the special issue. A trailer for the movie is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAiyrees0uM.

Another example can be found in Hyeonyoung Choi, Eunju Ko, and Carol M. Megehee (2014), “Fashion’s Role in Visualizing Physical and Psychological Transformations in Movies,” Journal of Business Research, 67 (1), 2911-2918. (Ask Carol for a reprint, [email protected]).

Grant McCracken writes on Transformations: Identity Construction in Contemporary Culture (2008). In 1928 Margaret Mead describes Coming of Age in Samoa—for many years the most widely read book in anthropology. In 2008 Tom Boellstorff describes Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human. In 1989 Russell Belk, Melanie Wallendorf, and John Sherry explain “The Sacred and the Profane in Consumer Behavior: Theodicy on the Odyssey,” Journal of Consumer Research—“Two processes at work in contemporary society are the secularization of religion and the sacralization of the secular. Consumer behavior shapes and reflects these [transformative] processes. For many, consumption has become a vehicle for experiencing the sacred. [The] article explores the ritual substratum of consumption and describes properties and manifestations of the sacred inherent in consumer behavior.”

The JBR special issue seeks theory and field research studies relating to multiple dimensions of personal transformations: individual and group; revocable versus irrevocable; public versus private; macro versus micro; conscious versus unconscious; automatic versus volitional; approved versus disapproved of by society, groups, and friends; viewed from a bystander perspective versus personal stance; and with positive versus negative outcomes.

The co-editors and special issue blind reviewers are solely responsible for accept/reject decisions for submitted manuscripts. The three co-editors are Carol M. Megehee, Coastal Carolina University (), Eunju Ko, Yonsei University (), and Russell Belk, York University ().

Manuscript Requirements:

· Create manuscripts using Microsoft WORD and submit in an e-mail attachment to all three editors on or before September 30, 2014

· Include all authors and their full addresses on the cover page; include a separate abstract page; please double space everything on the cover, abstract, text, and reference pages and use 12-point type only.

CFP Conference – Negotiating integrity: Playing by the book, rewriting the rules, fiddling and cheating

Posted on December 12, 2013 by webmaster

Call for papers: Negotiating integrity:
Playing by the book, rewriting the rules, fiddling and cheating
Two days conference, 3-4 April 2013
Goldsmiths, University of London
Deadline for abstracts: 20th January 2014

Integrity implies an honest and morally guided compliance to a set of rules and expectations that inform and organise social activities. Integrity can be particularly valorised in contexts characterised by conflicting and/or competing interests. In sportive competitions, for example, athletes are expected to win by respecting and practicing ‘fair play’. In more formal structures, to behave with integrity means to conform to written rules, such as national regulations and professional ethical guidelines. How integrity is conceptualised and practiced varies across different historical and geographical contexts as well as between professional and private domains (and the negotiations between them). Integrity may be anchored in the individual’s sense of rightness, obligations to a larger unit (professional or private) or the demand to abide by specific laws and rules. Negotiating these scales, between the individual and society, may provoke competing, even polarising reactions. When a gambling researcher, for example, accepts acts of hospitality by the gambling industry, is this considered a conflict of interest? Is counting cards at a blackjack table in a casino cheating? Does using one’s position of power to help friends and family count as corruption?

Having integrity often assumes that the rules to be followed are transparent, fair, even obvious, and that to behave ‘properly’ is just a matter of ‘playing by the book’. Negotiating integrity, however, is a more fluid practice. The aim of this conference is to explore how rules are created and what are the different ways of playing by, with and against them. Is manipulating ‘unfair’ rules cheating? Who defines the rules and what processes do they enable and/or suppress? Does compliance with the rules ensure integrity? Can rules be challenged and integrity kept?

Contributions could include, but are not limited to the following questions:

scientific integrity in the climate of increased pressure to secure funding from industrial partners and to produce tangible results, useful to political and wider public interests
managing personal/family and institutional integrity in societies where informal economy (including corruption, bribery and cheating) dominates at work places
negotiating integrity in a competitive and acquisitive economic environment
grey zones and flexible interpretations of law in activities such as tax evasion, competing regulatory regimes, cross-border exchanges, etc.
the role of technology in enabling or inhibiting cheating, as for example in online gambling, academic plagiarism, art forgery, etc.
games design and their rules
cheaters, tricksters and fraudsters as heroes
productive fluidity of borders between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’

Abstracts of around 300-500 words should be sent to by 20^th January 2014.

There is a small amount of funding available for those without travel and accommodation budget. Please indicate on your application if and how much funding you would need.

The conference is organised by the ERC-funded research project ‘Gambling in Europe’ (Rebecca Cassidy, Claire Loussouarn, Andrea Pisac) at the Department of Anthropology, Goldsmiths, University of London. www.gold.ac.uk/gamblingineurope

Dr Hugh Pattinson

Over the last fifteen years the Australian & New Zealand Academy (ANZMAC) developed as the preeminent regional organisation for developing, supporting and recognising marketing theory and research. Nevertheless, external pressures such as tightening research budgets, consolidation/rationalisation of business faculties/schools, and of ‘marketing’ curriculum will impact ANZMAC’s future development. I have worked closely with several ANZMAC executives in recent years gaining understanding of these key challenges. I bring to the executive committee over 18 years of academic research, curriculum and management experience to help shape an effective, adaptive and sustainable future for ANZMAC.
