CALL for chapter proposals for Handbook of 21st Century Management
(Sage, 2008)

I previously posted a request for issues for a book proposal to
ENTREPRENEURSHIP-PHD.  This worked out well and now I am the editor of
the Handbook of 21st Century Management (Sage, 2008). 

The Handbook of 21st Century Management will provide clear and useful
discussion of 100 of the key issues and topics that managers are
confronting in the 21st century by scholars from around the world.  The
structure of discourse for each issue and important associated
perspectives and research will be concisely and meaningfully presented.
New technologies, globalization and associated ethical implications
frame many of these issues.  Cutting-edge and unsettled topics in human
resource management, strategic management, entrepreneurship, operations
management, business and society, management information systems,
leadership, international management, organizational culture, diversity
management, managing in the post-911 world, not-for-profit management,
healthcare management, educational administration, public administration
and green management are introduced and discussed.  Key bibliographic
leads for those interested in further researching an issue are provided.

Sage has a series of such "Handbook of 21st Century" books coming out
(sociology, psychology, communication etc.) The concept is that a
management student will go to the reference desk in the library and say
that he/she is looking for term paper topic and structure in say human
resource management.  Then, the reference librarian would guide the
student over to the Handbook of 21st Century Management.  It will have
100 chapters of 7000-8000 words each (10 pages) with two additional
pages or so of bibliography.

I have 20 chapters signed on so far with chapter authors from a diverse
group of universities including Swarthmore, Texas Tech, Helsinki
University of Technology, Louisiana, Texas, Harvard Business School,
Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Duke, Monash,
San Diego State, Sabanci, Missouri, Technion, Bradford, University of
the West Indies, Otago and Victoria.  I already have almost 100 issue
ideas but hope to get more and then go with the best ones.  I wish to
obtain about 10 entrepreneurship chapters.  

If you have an interesting, future-oriented, management issue that you
would like to author a chapter on please send me a brief proposal with a
list of related publications that you have authored. Doctoral students
are invited to team up with faculty members for a submission.

Cybercollegially,

Charlie
