This conference will address knowledge, culture, and change in organizations from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The conference will offer a comprehensive overview of current thinking in the area broadly described as knowledge management. Its perspectives will range from big picture analyses in keynote addresses by internationally recognized experts in the field of management to detailed case studies of management practice. This conference now has a truly international record as an intellectual leader in our field. In 2003, the conference was held at the Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang, Malaysia; in 2004 at the University of Greenwich, London, UK; in 2005 at the University of the Aegean on the Island of Rhodes, Greece; in 2006 at the Monash University Centre, Prato, Italy; in 2007 at the Singapore Management University, Singapore; in 2008 at Cambridge University, UK; in 2009 at Northeastern University, Boston, USA; in 2010 at HEC in Montreal, Canada; in 2011 at the Universidad San Pablo CEU, Madrid, Spain; in 2012 at the University Center in Chicago, USA; in 2013 at the University of British Columbia–Robson Square, Vancouver, Canada; and in 2014 at the University of Oxford Said Business School in Oxford, UK. The 2016 conference will be held in Honolulu, USA at the University of Hawaii at Manoa from 19-20 April. In addition to organizing the Organization Conference, Common Ground publishes articles from the conference at www.ontheorganization.com/publications/journal, and we do encourage all conference participants to submit an article based on their conference presentation for peer review and possible publication in the journal. We also publish books at www.ontheorganization.com/publications/books in both print and electronic formats. Thank you to everyone who has prepared for this conference. A personal thank you goes to our Common Ground colleagues who have put such a significant amount of work into this conference: Rachael Arcario, Monica Hillison, Raquel Jimenez, Kimberly Kendall, Madison Eddy, and Ana Quintana. We wish the best for this conference and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the world. We hope you will be able to join us in Honolulu for next year’s conference, held 19-20 April 2016. Yours sincerely, Dr. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing Our Mission Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media. Our Message Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution, and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds knowledge communities that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves. Our Media Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics, practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book series offer fullyrefereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of submission, peer review, and production. The knowledge community also maintains an online presence—through presentations on our YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground’s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media works. Common Ground España Since its inception, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to build bridges between different languages and cultures, crossing the geographical and linguistic boundaries that slow down the free flow of ideas between the countless communities that populate the planet. We are truly committed to diversity, and that is why we are striving to create synergies between the English, Spanish and Portuguese-speaking knowledge communities that meet every year at the conference, and that interact through the scholarly journals, the book series, and the social networks. To fulfill this ideal, Common Ground Publishing has launched Common Ground Publishing España in order to create and develop Latin American knowledge communities based on the Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures, crossing geographic, linguistic and cultural borders. Each of these knowledge communities holds an annual academic conference (which takes place in parallel to Common Ground's conferences in English) and manages a peer reviewed scholarly journal, a book series and a number of social networks that allow scholars and practitioners to interact with other peers coming from different geographical, institutional and cultural origins, as well as to strengthen interdisciplinary discussions. For the time being, Common Ground Publishing España, whose headquarters are located at the Research Park of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, has developed 10 Latin American knowledge communities. These include Learning, ELearning and Innovative Pedagogies, Science in Society, Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, On the Organization, New Directions in the Humanities, The Image, Books, Publishing and Libraries, Health, Wellness and Society, and Technology, Knowledge and Society. ON THE ORGANIZATION KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY The On The Organization knowledge community is dedicated to the concept of independent, peer-led groups of scholars, researchers, and practitioners working together to build bodies of academic knowledge related to topics of critical importance to society at large. Focusing on the intersection of academia and social impact, the On The Organization knowledge community brings and interdisciplinary, international perspective to discussions of new developments in the field, including research, practice, policy, and teaching. Themes Theme 1: Management Education On learning to lead in organizations oriented to the future. Articles publish into Management Education: An International Journal.

Articles publish into Organizational Cultures: An International Journal. What is organizational culture? ‘Organic’, ‘community’, ‘complexity’ and other metaphors Agonies of change: working with order and chaos; regularity and complexity Networks, clusters, alliances Building collaborative organizational cultures Decision-making and leadership Building a culture of innovation Teams and the dynamics of collaboration Productive diversity: capitalizing on human differences Women at work and women in management: what are the different ways of working? Gay-friendly workplaces Family friendly workplaces Developing sustainable organizational cultures: government, community and NGOs Capacity development: building knowledge locally Globalization, internationalization and organizational change Customization: recognizing market and customer differences Navigating complexity: the dynamics of organizational change Business ethics 2015 Special Focus – Productive Diversity: The Dynamics of Organizational Cultures Diversity manifests itself in organizations in a myriad of ways—the diversity of human resources within an organization, diversity among clienteles, diversity of divisional or occupational cultures, and diversity when meeting other organizational cultures—be they private, public, or other community organizations. In the twentieth century, the prevailing assumption was that organizational cultures based on sameness or alignment would inevitably work best. In the twenty-first century, globalization and civil rights movements that focus on human differences mean that such assumptions are no longer tenable. In fact, they may well be counter-productive, hence the notion of “productive diversity”. Scope and Concerns Organizational Intangibles and their Tangible Value The focus of this knowledge community is to explore those intangible drivers which determine not only the livability of organizations for insiders, and their credibility and attraction to outsiders;. They also impact tangible results in the form of efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. The intangibles of knowledge, culture and change management do not appear on balance sheets, but ultimately do have an enormous impact on ‘bottom lines’. Our interests range across organizations in all their forms and manifestations: businesses, from micro-enterprises to multinational corporations; institutions of formal learning, from schools to universities; public sector agencies; and nongovernment and community sector organizations. Our concern also extends beyond the boundaries of organizations to consider the dynamics of supply chains, organizational alliances, networks, communities of practice and capacity building. The organizational story may be different from situation to situation. However, across all of these contexts, a pragmatic focus persists—to examine the ‘organization’ and ‘management’ of groups of people collaborating to productive ends, and to analyze what makes for success and sustainability. Knowledge Economy Ours is the era of the ‘knowledge economy’, or so say the commentators. (It seems a little late to be calling it a ‘new’ economy, particularly when some of the things that only yesterday were supposed to be excitingly ‘new’ have become essentials or commonplaces today.) What might it mean to have a knowledge economy? Contemporary economies are increasingly dependent upon technologies which assist the flow of information. The value of an organization is also increasingly located in intangibles such as business systems, intellectual property and the human skills base. In this sense, knowledge has become a key factor of production. And human needs have been transformed to the point where, in the marketplace, consumers focus on knowledge-representations as much as they do on physical entities—design, aesthetics, product concepts, brand associations, service values. If anything, these are the things that make the knowledge economy different from the industrial economy in its time. Knowledge in Organizations What, however, is this nebulous thing, knowledge, and how do we manage it? Certainly, it is bigger than out-of-the box IT systems, or content management systems, or cloud software ensembles—things that are often sold as knowledge management ‘solutions’. To be sure, the new technologies have the capacity to enable and transform. But knowledge is also the stuff of incessant talk, collaborative working relationships, personalized stories and constant learning. It is, in fact, no less than the core of human capital. With or without technology assistance, knowledge management involves transforming personal knowledge into common knowledge, implicit and individual knowledge into explicit and shared understandings and everyday common sense into systematic designs. It is also the business of codifying these designs as information architectures, paradigms or disciplines. Not that this leaves the world of tacit understandings and individual subjectivity behind as a poor cousin to knowledge proper. On the contrary, herein lies the raw material of inspiration, imagination and creativity. The shape of things has to be felt before it can be articulated. It is the project of knowledge management to ensure that collaboration is institutionalized and that knowledge sharing occurs. As a result, wheels are not needlessly reinvented. Lessons are learned from mistakes, and these lessons shared. The knowledge of the organization or community is not dangerously depleted when a key person departs. Organizing knowledge creates more work, to be sure, but the longer term effect of this extra work should be to create less. Knowledge is the process of connecting the stuff of the mind and the stuff of the world. It is not a recorded thing (data, information), or at least, it is not just that. Knowledge is a form of action. Knowing might be by experiencing (deep understandings, intuitions or judgments based on extended immersion in a particular situation), or conceptualizing (knowing the underlying concepts and theories of a particular discipline, system or vocation), or analyzing (linking cause with effect, interests with behaviors, purposes with outcomes), or applying (doing something practical again or anew). These are some of the ways in which knowing is done. And what does knowing do? For one thing, it creates a different kind of organization. This organization is one in which certain kinds of knowledge rise to higher levels of validity. This is the knowledge that has been collaboratively constructed, is widely informed, is cross-referenced — and these processes give it a collegial or organizational imprimatur. This knowledge becomes authoritative to the extent that the processes of knowledge construction are made transparent. And the unidirectional (topbottom, expert-novice, organization-customer) transmission of knowledge is replaced by knowledge as dialogue. Culture in Organizations Ours is an era when organizations are driven by culture, or so today’s management thinkers tell us. This is in direct contrast to the focus on system and structure in an earlier era when management was considered to be an exact science. On the micro-scale, teams are driven by shared values—or is it perhaps the complementarity of differences of knowledge and experience? On the corporate scale, organizations try to enlist employees to their visions and ethos—or is it perhaps a matter of creating an inclusive space in which everyone’s motivations and energies are enlisted, even if they don’t fit a single obvious corporate mold? On a market or community scale, organizations try to get close to customers and forge tight supply chain relationships—or is this really a matter of negotiating the differences that are inherent to a world of ever more finely differentiated niche markets and subtly or not-so-subtly divergent organizational cultures? And on the macro, global scale, we may find ourselves operating across one world market—or is it perhaps, a world where, in crossing borders, successful organizations negotiate differences and become many things to many peoples? Culture is a key organizational driver, but not because it has a simplistically unifying dynamic — of shared values, singular vision and cloning to the ideal of the corporate person. The dynamic of effective contemporary organizational cultures, more often than not, is one of productive diversity. This is not the diversity of affirmative action and remedies for discrimination. Rather it is the diversity that is at the heart of organizational cultures, including workaday domains such as human resource management, product and service diversification strategy, sales and marketing into a myriad of niches, and customer relationship management which recognizes that no two customers are the same. Change in Organizations Ours is an era of massive change, sometimes liberating, other times traumatic. Organizations find themselves buffeted by external forces: technological, market, political and cultural. They are challenged to become ever more efficient, effective, productive and competitive. How can they be active masters of change rather than reactive servants? How can change in organizations be driven by their people rather than the organization in the abstract? How can organizations change without their leaders having to drag along the led? Organizations will fail if they are not capable of learning, in a collective sense, as well as ensuring the learning growth of the individuals who spend their days there at work. They will fail if they do not regard themselves as places of continuous personal and corporate reinvention, of individual and institutional transformation. The organization and every person within it needs to envision themselves, not as a change object, but as an agent of change. This conference, journals, book imprint and news blog attempt to address these and other dynamics of knowledge, culture and change as they manifest themselves in organizations. The perspectives range from big picture analyses to detailed case studies which speak to the tangible value of organizational intangibles. They traverse a broad terrain, from theory and analysis to practical strategies for action.

With 24 knowledge communities, Common Ground’s vision is to provide platforms that bring together individuals of varied geographical, institutional, and cultural origins in spaces where renowned academic minds and public thought leaders can connect across fields of study. Each knowledge community organizes an annual academic conference and is associated with a peer-reviewed journal (or journal collection), a book imprint, and a social media space centered around Common Ground’s pathbreaking ‘social knowledge’ space, Scholar. Through its publishing practices, Common Ground aims to foster the highest standards in intellectual excellence. We are highly critical of the serious deficiencies in today’s academic journal system, including the legacy structures and exclusive networks that restrict the visibility of emerging scholars and researchers in developing countries, as well as the unsustainable costs and inefficiencies associated with traditional commercial publishing. In order to combat these shortcomings, Common Ground has developed an innovative publishing model. Each of Common Ground’s knowledge communities organizes an annual academic conference. The registration fee that conference participants pay in order to attend or present at these conferences enables them to submit an article to the associated journal at no additional cost. Scholars who cannot attend the conference in-person may still participate virtually and submit to the journal by obtaining a community membership, which also allows them to upload a video presentation to the community’s YouTube channel. By using a portion of the conference registration and membership fees to underwrite the costs associated with producing and marketing the journals, Common Ground is able to keep subscription prices low, thus guaranteeing greater access to our content. All conference participants and community members are also granted a one-year complimentary electronic subscription to the journal associated with their knowledge community. This subscription provides access to both the current and past volumes of the journal. Moreover, each article that we publish is available for a $5 download fee to nonsubscribers, and authors have the choice of publishing their paper open access to reach the widest possible audience and ensure the broadest access possible. Common Ground’s rigorous peer review process also seeks to address some of the biases inherent in traditional academic publishing models. Our pool of reviewers draws on authors who have recently submitted to the journal, as well as volunteer reviewers whose CVs and academic experience have been evaluated by Common Ground’s editorial team. Reviewers are assigned to articles based on their academic interests and expertise. By enlisting volunteers and other prospective authors as peer reviewers, Common Ground avoids the drawbacks of relying on a single editor’s professional network, which can often create a small group of gatekeepers who get to decide who and what gets published. Instead, Common Ground harnesses the enthusiasm of its conference delegates and prospective journal authors to assess submissions using a criterion-referenced evaluation system that is at once more democratic and more intellectually rigorous than other models. Common Ground also recognizes the important work of peer reviewers by acknowledging them as Associate Editors of the volumes to which they contribute. For over ten years, Common Ground has been building web-based publishing and social knowledge software where people can work closely to collaborate, create knowledge, and learn. The third and most recent iteration of this project is the innovative social knowledge environment, Scholar. Through the creation of this software, Common Ground has sought to tackle what it sees as changing technological, economic, distributional, geographic, interdisciplinary and social relations to knowledge. For more information about this change and what it means for academic publishing, refer to The Future of the Academic Journal, edited by Bill Cope and Angus Phillips (Elsevier 2009). We hope that you will join us in creating dialogues between different perspectives, experiences, knowledge bases, and methodologies through interactions at the conference, conversations online, and as fully realized, peer-reviewed journal articles and books.

The remaining nine top papers will be featured on our website. This Year’s Award Winner Dr. Steven Levitt, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA For the Article “Cultural Factors Affecting International Teamwork Dynamics and Effectiveness” Abstract The globalization of markets and demographic changes in many countries has created a situation that some see as a problem, and others see as an opportunity: multinational teams working together to manage projects, create ideas, solve problems, make decisions, and more. This study explores cultural factors affecting international team dynamics and effectiveness. In-depth interviews were conducted with 27 individuals who held management or supervisory positions, worked on multinational teams, and spend time working abroad. Their companies represent a broad range of industries such as energy, telecommunications/technology, engineering, architecture, mass media, venture capital, food import/purchasing, and museum exhibition. Collectively, these individuals worked on teams in several dozen countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North and South America, as well as Australia and New Zealand. The results explore a variety of cultural paradoxes and dialectics, complexities and differences which affect many aspects of collaborative work. The importance of relationship building, personal validations of “self” (identity), and ways power is manifested (including use of food) are discussed. Unfortunately, despite decades of learning about and experience with cultural diversity, international work groups continue to be plagued by ethnocentrism, prejudices, and stereotypes. Recommendations for improving international team culture dynamics are therefore offered. SUBMISSION PROCESS Every conference delegate with an accepted proposal is eligible and invited to submit an article to the Organization Collection. Full articles can be submitted using Common Ground’s online conference and article management system CGPublisher. Below please find step-by-step instructions on the submission process. 1. Submit a presentation proposal to the conference (in-person or community membership). The theme that you select when you submit your paper will help determine which thematically focused journal will consider your article for publication. 2. Once your conference proposal or paper abstract has been accepted, you may submit your article to the journal by clicking “add a paper” from your proposal/abstract page. You may upload your article anytime between the first and the final submission deadlines, which can be found on the next page. 3. Once your article is received, it is verified against template and submission requirements.

Hybrid Open Access The journals in the Organization Collection are Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by both university presses and well-known commercial publishers. Hybrid Open Access means that some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. They may do this because open access is a requirement of their research funding agency. Or they may do it so that non-subscribers can access their article for free. Common Ground’s open access charge is $250 per article, a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open access competitors and purely open access journals that are resourced with an author publication fee. Electronic papers are normally only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However, if you choose to make your article Open Access, this means that anyone on the web may download it for free. There are still considerable benefits for paying subscribers, because they can access all articles in the journal, from both current and past volumes, without any restrictions. But making your paper available at no charge increases its visibility, accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open access articles also generate higher citation counts. For more information or to make your article Open Access, please contact us at [email protected]. Institutional Open Access Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open Access. Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for unrestricted open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through our hybrid open access infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article open access fee, institutions pay a set annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of open access articles each year. The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share the final typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites, and privately or publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level—Green. For more information on Institutional Open Access or to put us in touch with your department head or funding body, please contact us at [email protected]. Editing Services Common Ground offers editing services for authors who would like to have their work professionally copyedited.

ON THE ORGANIZATION BOOK IMPRINT Common Ground is setting new standards of rigorous academic knowledge creation and scholarly publication. Unlike other publishers, we’re not interested in the size of potential markets or competition from other books. We’re only interested in the intellectual quality of the work. If your book is a brilliant contribution to a specialist area of knowledge that only serves a small intellectual community, we still want to publish it. If it is expansive and has a broad appeal, we want to publish it too, but only if it is of the highest intellectual quality. We welcome proposals or completed manuscript submissions of: Individually and jointly authored books Edited collections addressing a clear, intellectually challenging theme Collections of articles published in our journals Out-of-copyright books, including important books that have gone out of print and classics with new introductions Book Proposal Guidelines Books should be between 30,000 and 150,000 words in length.

Call for Book Reviewers Common Ground Publishing is seeking distinguished peer reviewers to evaluate book manuscripts submitted to The On the Organization Book Imprint. As part of our commitment to intellectual excellence and a rigorous review process, Common Ground sends book manuscripts that have received initial editorial approval to peer reviewers to further evaluate and provide constructive feedback. The comments and guidance that these reviewers supply is invaluable to our authors and an essential part of the publication process. Common Ground recognizes the important role of reviewers by acknowledging book reviewers as members of the On the Organization Book Imprint Editorial Review Board for a period of at least one year.

Eigenmann This collection studies use of electronic communication and considers the uniqueness of culture in the observed countries without attempting to impose a Western framework of interpretation upon the communication behaviors. Sustainable Human Security: Corruption Issues and Anti-corruption Solution Marco Tavanti and Agata Stachowicz-Stanusch (eds.) Sustainable Human Security addresses the systemic and intergenerational capacity for the protection and promotion of human survival (freedom from fear), human development (freedom from want), human dignity (freedom from shame), and human sustainability (freedom from vulnerability). This volume explores sustainable solutions and systemic issues in relation to human security and corruption. Acerca de nuestro enfoque editorial Durante 29 años, Common Ground Publishing se ha comprometido con la creación de lugares de encuentro de personas e ideas. Con 10 comunidades de conocimiento en español y portugués y 24 comunidades en inglés, la visión de Common Ground es proveer plataformas que reúnan a personas de diversos orígenes geográficos, institucionales y culturales en espacios donde académicos y otros profesionales puedan conectar por igual a través de distintos campos interdisciplinares de estudio. Cada comunidad de conocimiento realiza un congreso académico anual alrededor del mundo y está asociada a una Revista revisada por pares (o a una colección de Revistas), una colección de Libros y un serie de redes sociales, en torno a un nuevo “espacio social de conocimiento” realmente disruptivo diseñado y desarrollado por Common Ground: Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/). A través de sus servicios editoriales, Common Ground tiene como objetivo fomentar los más altos estándares de excelencia intelectual. Somos muy críticos con las graves deficiencias que existen en el actual sistema de publicaciones académica, incluyendo las estructuras existentes y las redes exclusivas que restringen la visibilidad de los académicos e investigadores emergentes en los países en desarrollo, así como los costes e ineficiencias insostenibles asociados con la edición comercial tradicional. Para combatir estas deficiencias, Common Ground ha desarrollado un modelo de publicación innovador. Cada una de las comunidades de conocimiento de Common Ground organiza un congreso académico anual. La cuota de inscripción que pagan los participantes del congreso por asistir y presentar en estos congresos, les permite enviar un artículo a la revista (o colección de revistas) asociada sin coste adicional. Así, los autores pueden realizar una presentación en un congreso científico de su área de investigación, incorporar las críticas constructivas que reciben en respuesta a su presentación y, a continuación, enviar un artículo sólido para su revisión por pares, sin que el autor tenga que pagar una tasa adicional. Los académicos que no puedan asistir al congreso en persona, pueden participar de forma virtual, opción que les permite enviar un artículo a la revista. Usando una parte de la cuota de inscripción para financiar los costes asociados a la producción y comercialización de las revistas, Common Ground es capaz de mantener unos precios de suscripción bajos, facilitando así el acceso a todos nuestros contenidos. Todos los participantes del congreso, tanto presenciales como virtuales, pueden subir sus presentaciones al canal de YouTube de Common Ground, además de tener una suscripción electrónica gratuita a la revista por un periodo de un año. Esta suscripción permite el acceso a todos los números, presentes y pasados, de la revista en español/portugués y a la revista (o colección de revistas) en inglés. Además, cada artículo que publicamos está disponible de forma individual con una tarifa de descarga de $5 para los no abonados, y los autores disponen de la opción de publicar su artículo en acceso abierto para llegar así a una mayor audiencia y garantizar la difusión más amplia posible. El riguroso proceso de revisión de Common Ground trata también de abordar algunos de los sesgos inherentes a los tradicionales modelos de editoriales académicas. El conjunto de evaluadores está compuesto de autores que han presentado recientemente artículos a la revista, así como de revisores voluntarios cuyos currículos y experiencia académica han sido evaluados por el equipo editorial de Common Ground. Los artículos son asignados a revisores en base en sus intereses académicos y experiencia. Al tener voluntarios y a otros autores como posibles revisores, Common Ground evita los inconvenientes de depender de la red profesional de un solo editor, que con más frecuencia de la deseable conlleva la creación de grupos de arbitraje cerrado que deciden qué y quién publica. En cambio, Common Ground aprovecha el excelente talante de los participantes del congreso y de los autores de las revistas para evaluar los trabajos, utilizando un sistema de evaluación basado en criterios más democráticos e intelectualmente más rigurosos que otros modelos tradicionales. Common Ground también reconoce la importante labor de los revisores, nombrándoles Editores Asociados de los volúmenes en los que contribuyen. A través de la creación de un software asombrosamente innovador, Common Ground también ha comenzado a hacer frente a lo que considera como un cambio en las relaciones tecnológicas, económicas, geográficas, interdisciplinarias, sociales y de distribución y difusión del conocimiento. Desde hace más de diez años hemos estado construyendo una editorial muy mediada por las tecnologías web y las nueves redes sociales, donde la gente pueda trabajar en estrecha colaboración para aprender, crear y compartir conocimiento. La tercera y última iteración de este proyecto es un entorno social de conocimiento pionero llamado Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/). Esta plataforma informática posee un lugar donde los académicos pueden conectarse en red y dar visibilidad a sus investigaciones a través de una librería personal. Esperamos que se unan a nosotros en la creación de diálogos entre diferentes perspectivas, experiencias, áreas de conocimiento y metodologías a través de las interacciones en el seno del congreso, las conversaciones online, los artículos para la revista o la colección de libros (ambas revisadas por pares). Revista Internacional de Economía y Gestión de las Organizaciones La Revista Internacional de Economía y Gestión de las Organizaciones examina la naturaleza de las organizaciones en todas sus formas y manifestaciones: empresas (desde las pequeñas y medianas empresas hasta las multinacionales), instituciones educativas (desde preescolar hasta universidades y de formación profesional), organismos y agencias del sector público, organizaciones no-gubernamentales, política económica, etc. Sus contenidos se extienden también más allá de los límites de las organizaciones: considera la dinámica de las cadenas de suministro, las alianzas organizativas, los lobbies y las redes empresariales y de conocimiento, las comunidades de práctica, la innovación, la creación de valor, etc. En medio de todas estas perspectivas, se mantiene un enfoque pragmático que busca re-examinar las nociones de “organización” y de “gestión” de grupos de personas que colaboran para fines productivos, y analizar los factores que conducen al éxito y a la sostenibilidad. Los artículos de la Revista Internacional de Economía y Gestión de las Organizaciones abarcan un terreno amplio, desde lo general y especulativo hasta lo particular y empírico. No obstante, su preocupación principal es redefinir nuestro entendimiento de lo humano y mostrar diversas prácticas disciplinarias dentro de las humanidades. Esta revista pretende reabrir el debate acerca de las diversas facetas de los seres humanos tanto por razones prácticas como teóricas. El enfoque de la revista apunta a los parámetros intangibles que determinan, no sólo la fiabilidad de las organizaciones desde la perspectiva interna y su credibilidad de cara al exterior, sino también aquellos que determinan resultados tangibles en forma de eficiencia, eficacia y productividad. Los activos intangibles como el conocimientos, la cultura y la gestión del cambio no aparecen en los balances, pero tienen en última instancia un enorme impacto en el negocio. La revista trata de abordar cómo el conocimiento, la cultura y el cambio se manifiestan en las organizaciones. Los artículos abarcan tanto análisis teóricos generales hasta estudios de caso detallados que versan sobre estrategias prácticas o sobre la manera de convertir en valores tangibles los intangibles de las organizaciones, la conversión del conocimiento tácito en explícito. La Revista Internacional de Economía y Gestión de las Organizaciones es revisada por expertos y respaldada por un proceso de publicación basado en el rigor y en criterios de calidad académica, asegurando así que solo los trabajos intelectuales significativos sean publicados. La revista es relevante para académicos en los campos de la gestión, las ciencias económicas, las ciencias sociales y la educación/formación, para investigadores, gestores del conocimiento, estudiantes, formadores, consultores de la industria, economistas, empresarios y emprendedores, profesionales de recursos humanos, expertos en gestión del cambio y, en definitiva, cualquier persona con interés y preocupación por la gestión y por el cambio cultural en las organizaciones. La Revista Internacional de Economía y Gestión de las Organizaciones es revisada por expertos y respaldada por un proceso de publicación basado en el rigor y en criterios de calidad académica, asegurando así que solo los trabajos intelectuales significativos sean publicados.

Acceso Abierto Las revistas de Common Ground ofrecen un modelo de acceso abierto híbrido a los autores de los artículos. Se trata de un nuevo modelo, en pleno auge en el seno del sector de las publicaciones académicas. Este servicio es ofrecido cada vez más por las editoriales universitarias y por editoriales comerciales de prestigio. Acceso Abierto Híbrido significa que algunos artículos están disponibles sólo para suscriptores, mientras que otros están disponibles gratuitamente para cualquier persona que busca en la web. Los autores que estén interesados en tener su artículo en acceso abierto, es decir accesible de forma gratuita en la web, deben abonar una cantidad adicional si desean hacer efectiva esta interesante opción. Cada vez más agencias de financiación, tanto gubernamentales como fundaciones públicas y privadas, están exigiendo que los artículos de sus investigadores sean publicados en acceso abierto. A cambio, dichas agencias ofrecen financiación adicional a dichos autores para poder abonar la cantidad estipulada por la editorial. Infórmese en su agencia de financiación, en su centro de investigación o en su universidad para solicitar una ayuda por este concepto. Los beneficios de convertir su artículo en acceso abierto son considerables y empíricamente comprobados. Innumerables trabajos de investigación han probado que un artículo en acceso abierto aumenta no sólo su visibilidad y su accesibilidad y por tanto, también el número de lectores potenciales, sino que además puede aumentar el número de citas recibidas en más de un 250%.

THE ORGANIZATION CONFERENCE Conference Principles and Features The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the knowledge community: International This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different countries and locations. But more importantly, the Organization Conference offers a tangible and meaningful opportunity to engage with scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates from over 31 countries are in attendance, offering a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with colleagues from all corners of the globe. Interdisciplinary Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest in the themes and concerns of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives, interdisciplinary methods are applauded, and mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged. Inclusive Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this community and conference, regardless of discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student, researcher, teacher, policymaker, practitioner, or administrator your work and your voice can contribute to the collective body of knowledge that is created and shared by this community. Interactive To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference, there must be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to less structured, are offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities. Session Descriptions Plenary Sessions Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world’s leading thinkers, offer formal presentations on topics of broad interest to the community and conference delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the first session of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers answer questions and participate in informal, extended discussions during their Garden Sessions. Garden Sessions Garden Sessions are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a chance to meet plenary speakers and talk with them at length about the issues arising from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange for a circle of chairs to be placed outdoors. Talking Circles Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to meet other delegates with similar interests and concerns. Delegates self-select into groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended discussion about the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the community. Questions like “Who are we?”, ”What is our common ground?”, “What are the current challenges facing society in this area?”, “What challenges do we face in constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area?” may guide the conversation. When possible, a second Talking Circle is held on the final day of the conference, for the original group to reconvene and discuss changes in their perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports from the Talking Circles provide a framework for the delegates’ final discussions during the Closing Session. Paper Presentations Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of three or four presentations followed by group discussion. Each presenter in the session makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group discussion follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the presentations, and facilitate the discussion. Each presenter's formal, written paper will be available to participants if accepted to the journal. Colloquium Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present various dimensions of a project or perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal presentations are followed by commentary and/or group discussion. A single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session. Workshop/Interactive Session Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on experience of a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate – all involving substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based on a workshop session. Focused Discussion Session For work that is best discussed or debated, rather than reported on through a formal presentation, these sessions provide a forum for an extended “roundtable” conversation between an author and a small group of interested colleagues. Several such discussions occur simultaneously in a specified area, with each author’s table designated by a number corresponding to the title and topic listed in the program schedule. Summaries of the author’s key ideas, or points of discussion, are used to stimulate and guide the discourse. A single article, based on the scholarly work and informed by the focused discussion as appropriate, may be submitted to the journal. Virtual Presentations If unable to attend the conference in person, an author may choose to submit a virtual presentation. Opportunities and formats vary but may be a presentation through our YouTube channel or an online discussion with interested delegates at the conference. Abstracts of these presentations are included in the online “session descriptions,” and an article may be submitted to the journal for peer review and possible publication, according to the same standards and criteria as all other journal submissions.

Established in 1972, Le Bateau Ivre was originally a residence built in 1898 by a French architect. Enjoy the warm and comfortable ambiance of a French home and good conversation at a time when many of our speakers are able to come together for more intimate conversations over great food and wine. *The conference dinner is an optional activity, and prior registration is required to attend.

He received his bachelor of science in physics from Stanford University and a PhD in astrophysics from the University of Colorado, Boulder. An award of a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship then brought him to the University of California, Berkeley. Basri joined the faculty of the Berkeley Astronomy Department in 1982, received tenure in 1988, and became a full professor in 1994. He was an early pioneer and expert in the study of brown dwarfs, as well as star formation and stellar activity. In 1997, he was awarded a Miller Research Professorship and became a Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer in 2000. In December 2001, Basri was a Co-Investigator on a successful proposal to NASA for the Kepler Mission, which is searching for earth-sized planets around other stars. In 2011, he became a Fellow with the California Academy of Sciences. He has long been involved in science education and encouraging the participation of minorities in science. His efforts in this, and on behalf of increasing diversity at the university, were recognized by the Chancellor’s Award for Advancing Institutional Excellence in 2006. In 2007, he was selected by Chancellor Birgeneau after a national search as the founding Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion at the University of California, Berkeley. In his role, he is directly responsible for a portfolio of existing programs and services. The programs and services involve strengthening academic preparation and academic achievement; providing a diverse campus community with a sense of success and belonging; offering staff members improved career advancement opportunities; and establishing hiring and recruitment efforts that tap further into the available talent pool of candidates. Along with these responsibilities, he also leads fund-raising efforts that produce substantial additional funding to new initiatives. Basri has served on diversity-related bodies of every dimension, from small campus scholarship committees to a UC systemwide task force. Currently, he chairs the Chancellor’s Task Force on Undocumented Campus Members and the Senior Administration Campus Climate Council. He also acts as a liaison to the UC President’s Council on Climate, Culture, and Inclusion. He has provided much of his time and efforts to advance the work of equity and inclusion. He has been a founding member of CAL Prep’s Faculty Advisory Committee. He is involved with the ScienceMakers; an innovative African American media and education initiative focused on capturing and preserving the stories of African Americans in the STEM professions. He served on the Boards of the Chabot Space Science Center and the “I Have a Dream” Foundation in Oakland, California. He offers his time generously to many causes in the science and diversity fields. Keith Merron Keith Merron is a Senior Associate with Barbara Annis & Associates Inc.

A Digital Learning Platform Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students first , positioning them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides scaffolding to encourage making and sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing knowledge that has been presented to them. Scholar also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance, "How am I doing?" Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that is not clear or comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance. A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the University of Illinois, Scholar contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative assessment environment that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human formative and summative writing assessment data. The following Scholar features are only available to Common Ground Knowledge Community members as part of their membership. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like the complimentary educator account that comes with participation in a Common Ground conference. Create projects for groups of students, involving draft, peer review, revision and publication. Publish student works to each student’s personal portfolio space, accessible through the web for class discussion. Create and distribute surveys. Evaluate student work using a variety of measures in the assessment dashboard. Scholar is a generation beyond learning management systems. It is what we term a Digital Learning Platform—it transforms learning by engaging students in powerfully horizontal ‘social knowledge’ relationships.
