Submission guidelines
---------------------
ISC will consider unpublished original paper proposals relating to the
above topics of interest. International and global perspectives are
encouraged. Proposals can be conceptual or empirical, quantitative or
qualitative. Published papers or papers that were accepted for publication
prior to the submission deadline will not be considered for the
conference. We seek to accept a relatively small number of high-quality
papers that target top tier academic journals. Submitted papers will go
through a double blind review. Submissions will be evaluated based on
their academic rigor, relevance, and contribution to the field of
strategic management. Accepted proposals will be assigned to paper
sessions or interactive sessions based on this evaluation.
The deadline for online submissions of paper proposals is June 15th, 2010.
Paper proposals, written in English, should clearly identify the research
questions and methodology. If available, the main results, implications,
and contributions should be discussed. Paper proposals are limited to 2
pages of text and 1 page of references. Use double spacing with 1-inch
margins and a font size no smaller than 11 pt. The title of your paper
must be included in the header and should exactly match the title provided
in the online submission form. Please do not include any author
identifying information.
To submit the paper proposal, upload your proposal in a Word or PDF file
format to the Submissions Section of the ISC website at:
http://www.isc.org.il/ where guidelines will be provided. Presenting
authors must be available to present their papers any time during the
conference. There will be no changes in the program to accommodate
specific time preferences. An author may be designated as the presenter of
only one paper, but can be listed as a co-author of up to 3 papers.
Notices to authors will be sent in August, 2010, indicating whether the
proposed paper has been accepted to a paper session or an interactive
session.
ISC Best Paper Award
---------------------
Select paper proposals which receive the highest assessment in the review
process will be nominated as finalists for the ISC Best Paper Award and go
through an additional blind-review process. The selected winner(s) of the
ISC Best Paper Award will receive a plaque and a $1,000 cash prize
sponsored by Rotem Strategy, an Israeli-based strategy consulting firm.
The winning paper will be announced in the concluding session of ISC.
