The International Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM) holds
its Second Conference ?Brokering Knowledge? in Valencia (Spain) from March
20st (Tuesday) to March 22nd (Thursday), 2012. Twelve editors of leading
journals will participate in this 2nd Conference. It is organized by the
Universitat de Val?ncia and the Universidad Cat?lica de Valencia. The
following editors-in-chief have confirmed their presence and participation:
David Audretsch (Small Business Economics),
Robert Blackburn (International Small Business Journal),
Ghauri Pervez (International Business Review),
Theresa Welbourne (Human Resource Management),
John Peters (Management Decision),
Slawek Magala (Journal of Organizational Change Management),
Rick D. Hackett (Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences),
Bruce Tracey (Cornell Hospitality Quarterly),
Adrian Ziderman (International Journal of Manpower),
Gary Akehurst (Service Industries Journal),
Rodney Turner (International Journal of Project Management),
Vlad Vaiman (European Journal of International Management).
The overall theme of the Conference will be broken down into subtopics, with
a total of twelve sessions, one for each journal. 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 Conference.
The journal editor corresponding to each area will open the session with an
outline of Trend in the future in his/her journal. Authors will then go on
to present the papers chosen for each session.
One of the results of the Conference 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 journals.
Each of the twelve Sessions-Tracks (and consequently the special issues)
would have three coordinators (that would be the guest editors of the
special issue). Once the Conference has concluded, the guest editors (as
well as the editor-in-chief of the journal) for each session will decide
which papers are to be recommended for inclusion in the special
issues/section of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality
of submissions, the best papers will be published in the special issues of
these SSCI journals.
This will make this and subsequent Conferences organized by the Editor
Network of the International Network of Business and Management Journals
(INBAM) quite unique.
