1 CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FORUM Announces 12 th Annual Convention Venue: Indian Institute of Management Bangalore May 27-29, 2009 Theme: Strategic Management Research in India: Roadmap for the Future The Conference The 12 th annual conference of the Strategic Management Forum will be held at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore from May 27-29, The theme of the conference is Strategic Management Research in India: Roadmap for the Future. This conference will be very useful to graduate students, young faculty, and other scholars pursuing research on Strategic Management in India. We encourage scholars to attend the conference even if they are not presenting papers. Conference Chairs Prof. J. Ramachandran, IIM Bangalore Prof. Rishikesha T. Krishnan, IIM Bangalore Featured Sessions: Review Papers on Strategic Management Scholars agree that strategic management is broadly concerned with the firm as the unit of analysis and performance as the outcome of interest. Around this broad consensus, scholars with disciplinary grounding in economics, sociology, marketing, management, finance or psychology work on a diverse range of problems. Today, the community of scholars working in the field of strategy has grown substantially and the Business Policy & Strategy Division dominates the Academy of Management as the 1

2 single largest division, in terms of membership. The field s primary journal, the Strategic Management Journal, has been repeatedly rated among the Top 5 management journals. And yet, strategy is according to Pettigrew, Thomas & Whittington (2002) an aspiration and not an accomplishment. If the promise of Strategic Management is yet to be fulfilled, it may be instructive to look back and understand how far we have traveled towards that promise. Further, the changed competitive context in India following the liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991 and the emergence of globally competitive firms in India affords us an extraordinary opportunity to inform theory that has so far largely been anchored on the experiences of the firms in the West. Therefore, this year at the Strategic Management Forum Annual Convention, scholars will present reviews of research on different themes within the domain of Strategic Management. These will be high-quality scholarly reviews of research concepts, themes, theoretical questions, empirical findings, methodological issues or practical problems that concern the field of Strategic Management.
