Call for Papers - International Journal of Opportunity, Growth and Value
Creation (IJOGVC)
Inaugural Issue on: "OPPORTUNITY" - including, but not limited to issues
related to the Identification - Recognition - Creation - Selection -
Exploitation of Opportunities
Deadline: 1 March 2008

The IJOGVC proposes and fosters discussion on the organisational
processes surrounding the concepts of opportunity, growth and value
creation. Because the exploitation of opportunities, the subsequent
growth of organisations around these opportunities and the value created
by both processes are so vital to the creation and redistribution of
societal wealth, the development and the dissemination of more
systematic knowledge are required.

Whilst some preliminary and traditional efforts in this direction have
been taken, IJOGVC is open to new, creative and innovative research
approaches, designs and methods. In an attempt to bridge the gap between
research and practice, it emphasises the implications of this new
knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and business
educators.

Objectives

The objective of IJOGVC is to provide an international forum in the
field of management with the particular focus on the phenomena of
opportunity, growth and value creation by publishing quality research
articles. It also aims to promote and to coordinate developments in
these fields of management. As these areas have both industrial and
societal implications, IJOGVC encourages the broadening and deepening of
thought in these fields.

Furthermore, IJOGVC has been established to be an effective channel of
communication between researchers, managers, and policy makers as well
others concerned with the complex and dynamic role of opportunity,
growth and value creation in society. The international dimension is
emphasised in acknowledgement of the growing globalisation of business
and management and in order to overcome cultural and national barriers.

Readership

IJOGVC provides a vehicle to help academics, professionals, researchers
and policy makers, working in the field of entrepreneurship, strategy,
management and business education, to create and to disseminate quality
knowledge. The journal also provides a forum to allow interested parties
to learn from each other's work.

Contents

IJOGVC publishes original papers, conceptual papers, empirical papers,
review papers, case studies, relevant reports, book reviews, notes,
commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in
Opportunity, Growth and Value Creation and related topics will be
published occasionally.
