Call for papers: Behavioural Issues in Cross-Listing

A special issue of International Journal of Behavioural Accounting and Finance

The focus of this special issue is on the behavioural factors surrounding a firm’s decision to cross-list its shares. The phenomenon of cross-listing on international markets has grown rapidly during the last decade, and has been facilitated by the deregulation and liberalisation of financial markets, and the major advances in communications and information technology which has made the flow of information across capital markets feasible.

The cross-listing literature provides anomalies that are of interest to researchers in behavioural finance. For instance, Gagnon and Karolyi (2004) find that shares that trade simultaneously on different markets violate the law of one price, and for some stocks the difference between prices of cross-listed shares and those of the home market shares can range from 66 percent premium to an 87 percent discount. Moreover, the authors suggest that cross-listed shares show higher systematic comovement with host market indexes and lower comovements with home market indexes than their equivalent home-market shares. The later result contradicts the traditional view of finance which states that comovement in prices should reflect comovement in fundamentals.

Furthermore, cross-listing may influence the behaviour of firms and corporate policy. For example, firms that cross-list on markets with better information environment than their home markets have to provide more disclosure and better earnings quality, which in turn induce more analysts to follow the firm. In addition, Georgen and Abdallah (2008) provide evidence that firms that cross-list on markets with better investor rights pay higher dividend after the cross-listing. A relatively under-researched area addresses the firm’s incentives to cross-list as a reaction to investors’ behavioural biases.

The aim of this special issue is to publish high quality research papers that enhance our understanding of the behavioural aspects of the cross-listing phenomenon. The guest editors welcome empirical, theoretical and critical work. As most of the previous studies address the implications of cross-listing in the context of US listing, the guest editors seek and encourage the submission of papers that provide a global perspective of the cross-listing.

Call for papers: Data Analytics Techniques and Heuristics for Complex Supply Chain Network Problems

A special issue of International Journal of Enterprise Network Management

A continuous quest for improved performance is the linchpin of success in many best-in-class organisations. These organisations exhibit proven ability to strive and excel in all spheres of activities. These activities cut across all the organisation’s functions and processes stretching from sourcing to customer service. Otherwise known as the supply chain, “excellent design and efficient execution of these activities and processes” charts a company’s success. We need breakthrough success enabled through efficient supply chain processes. There is a need for designing, modelling and executing the various supply chain problems and processes.

Facilitating the transformation process from data to information to knowledge is a supreme concern for every organisation. Many organisations are being swamped with data and volumes of contradictory information, but with limited real usable knowledge. Statisticians focus on data accuracy, database administrators emphasise data completeness and operational researchers target optimisation. But the integration of the above is missing. So, current isolated islands of data analysis and optimisation techniques should be connected and an integrated and systematic union of data analytics and optimisation techniques for modelling supply chain problems is a current need.

The integration of data analytics and optimisation techniques can be used to assist decision-makers at all management levels:

• Strategic management: sourcing decisions, site feasibility analysis and supply chain network design
• Tactical management: design of vendor-managed inventory, collaborative forecasting and replenishment, transportation planning
• Operational management: routing of products and vehicles, organisation of returns and services

We invite papers on cutting-edge research that address various significant supply chain and logistics issues, which include but are not limited to:

Modelling systems which employ optimisation techniques in order to provide decision support for

• strategic network planning
• demand, forecast and inventory planning and
• transport planning

Data analytics techniques which may include

• Multivariate analysis
• Multicriteria decision analysis and
• Data mining

Optimisation techniques which may include

• Heuristics and
• Metaheuristics
• Combination of the above

Call for papers: Catalysis in Petroleum Refining

A special issue of International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology

Catalysis plays a vital role in petroleum refining since the catalysts provide a stage for the structural and chemical changes of the hydrocarbon molecules present in the crude fractions to obtain the product of desired quality so as to make them suitable as fuels that can meet the required specifications of the fuel norms. In the modern petroleum refinery, almost all the processes are conducted in presence of a catalyst right from hydrotreating to the cracking, isomerization, alkylation and aromatization processes. There is a continuous demand for the novel and efficient catalyst materials that can catalyze the desired reactions of the hydrocarbons with superior performance and product selectivities.

Metal oxides, mixed oxides, zeolites, molecular sieves and mesoporous materials are some of the solid materials that have marked their presence as catalysts and catalyst supports in recent years. The subject area is of continuous interest to the researchers working in academia, institutions and industry. Hence it is appropriate to collect the recent advances in the area of catalyst development in petroleum refining in order to enhance the understanding of researchers working in the area.

The aim of this special issue is to highlight the role of catalysts in petroleum refining processes with special attention to the following areas. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:

• Fluid catalytic cracking
• Reforming
• Light hydrocarbon processing
• Hydroprocessing
• Residue upgrading
• Alternative fuels
• Light alkane isomerization
• Butylene alkylation
• New materials as refinery catalysts

Call for papers: Risk Control in Revenue Management: Quantitative Analysis and Empirical Perspectives

A special issue of International Journal of Revenue Management

Besides the normal uncertainties, unusual events like the current global financial crisis, and even natural disasters and terrorist attacks, can cause significant disruption in operations and cause losses. Risk and uncertainties make revenue management more difficult than before as they have to consider new challenges of demand uncertainty, supply instability and information asymmetry. It has become necessary, and urgent, for enterprises and industries to undertake risk identification, measure and effectively to manage risks, and to reconfigure supply chain structures and revise operational decisions where necessary.

This special issue will put emphasis on the main problems of risk management in the changing new environments of revenue management, and also explore configurations and designs of logistics operations and supply chains coordination based on risk control in revenue management. It invites quality papers covering case studies, empirical studies and quantitative analysis so as to offer solutions to the emerging new challenges. Empirical and cases studies are particularly welcome.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

• Risk identification, analysis and control in revenue management
• Optimal strategy design for revenue management based on risk control and management
• Risk management in logistics and supply chains with consideration of characteristic and behaviour of participants
• Coordination of supply chains based on risk management

Call for papers: Thresholds of Dynamic Growth

A special issue of International Journal of Innovation and Learning

The successful foundation of a business illustrates a first success, as a significant portion of those attempts to start a business fail. Business start-ups and new enterprises are then confronted with a multitude of different challenges and problems due to limited resources, insecurities, risks and deficiencies. If a company is able to meet those challenges and solve given problems, revenues and profits increase and new jobs are created. In summary, the company grows.

Growth thus represents an indicator for success. It can, however, not only be seen as something purely positive but also illustrates a challenge for companies, especially for those companies that have to cope with high growth rates. New employees have to be integrated into the organisation, the culture has to be preserved and further developed as well as the ability to recognise changes in the business environment and the flexibility to react in an appropriate way. Growth management can, as a consequence, distinguish the successful from the unsuccessful organisation or is simply the cause for survival or failure. Knowledge management and organisational learning play a key role in this context as they offer a foundation for understanding organisational processes and organisational change.

This special issue seeks to provide further insights into how to cope successfully with dynamic growth, especially in business start-ups and new enterprises. As growth influences all areas, processes and structures of an organisation as well as the individual within the organisation, we invite papers with different theoretical concepts and methods, in order to assemble a rich, vibrant and multi-faceted special issue, bringing together diverse perspectives. Theoretical contributions will be considered as well as empirical papers. We particularly welcome case research, theory-building qualitative research, and theory-testing quantitative research approaches.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

• Organisational change
• Growth management
• Habitual entrepreneurs in high growth industries
• Public policies for high growth firms
• Financing of growth
• Organisational learning in high growth firms
• Open innovation in high growth firms
• Corporate culture in high growth firms
• Strategic planning in high growth firms
• Human resource management in high growth firms
• Dynamic capability of high growth firms

Call for papers: Hybrid Computing

A special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Defence Support Systems

Real-world problems are generally complex in nature. To analyse them, a hard computing tool alone or just a constituent member of soft computing family (e.g. fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and others) may not be sufficient. It may be necessary to solve a part of the problem using one tool of the soft computing family and the remaining part can be tackled utilising another member of the same family. Thus, combined techniques such as genetic-fuzzy, genetic-neural, neuro-fuzzy systems have been developed. Similarly, situations may also demand the use of both hard computing and soft computing tools together. This special issue focuses on the principles of hybrid computing and its applications.

Suitable topics include but are not limited to:

Principles of hybrid computing

• combinations of various soft computing tools, such as

* genetic-fuzzy systems
* genetic-neural systems
* neuro-fuzzy systems
* genetic-neuro-fuzzy systems etc.,

• combinations of soft and hard computing techniques

• robotics
• manufacturing sciences
• thermal systems

Call for papers: Sport as an Entrepreneurial Venture

Call for papers: Sport as an Entrepreneurial Venture

A special issue of International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing

The purpose of this special issue is to investigate the relationship between sport and entrepreneurial ventures. Many sport activities involve an entrepreneurial venture as change and innovation are critical to the continued development and success of the sport sector. The current literature on sport has to a large extent ignored the entrepreneurial literature and the aim of this special issue is to develop a better understanding of entrepreneurial ventures in sport and sport-related industries.

Sport as a venture creation tool creates many positive benefits. Entrepreneurial ventures in sport can include the development of stadiums and teams, the growth of athletes and branding and technological advances. As sport is a global billion dollar industry, there is a variety of different types of entrepreneurial ventures that take place. The promotion and creation of entrepreneurial ventures in sport creates many different challenges and opportunities in a global market that is constantly changing. As there is increasing competition for venture funding, sports organisations must evolve to create a competitive advantage. Sports organisations can do this by forming entrepreneurial ventures that focus on innovation, are proactive and involve a degree of risk taking activity.

This special issue proposes that entrepreneurial ventures in sport are important to understand and sustain sport organisations. Moreover, entrepreneurial ventures in sport can offer direction to businesses who want to increase their overall performance.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Innovation and entrepreneurial ventures in sport
• The sport interface for entrepreneurs
• Influences of ventures and rapid growth of sport
• Theory on developing sport-based entrepreneurship
• Measuring pressure and confrontations of entrepreneurial life in the sport context
• Entrepreneurs in sport and the ventures they have created (e.g. Michael Jordan, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Nike, Adidas, Apple, etc)
• Determinants of performance in sports teams
• The influence of leadership and coaching on performance of sports teams
• Influence of venture characteristics and environment demands on entrepreneurs in sport
• Development of entrepreneurship opportunities around sport
