Third Annual IACMR Li Ning Dissertation Proposal Grants
Call for Proposals
(Deadline: March 1, 2012)
Context-Sensitive Management Research in China
The IACMR Li Ning Dissertation Proposal Grants, sponsored by Li Ning Company, encourages doctoral students to conduct dissertation research that either uses existing theories with appropriate contextualization to analyze Chinese management phenomena, or develops context specific theories to explain unique Chinese management phenomena. There will be five grants of 10,000 RMB each for the first prize dissertation proposals, and five grants of 5,000 RMB each for the second prize dissertation proposals. In addition, the winners will be invited to attend the IACMR PhD Dissertation Proposal Workshop during the IACMR bi-annual conference in Hong Kong, China, from June 20-24, 2012, along with an award ceremony during the workshop.
We invite dissertation proposals on the following topics (but not limited to):
- The relevance of Chinese traditional cultural values including regional sub-culture within mainland China to contemporary issues of strategic management, organizational behaviour, and human resource management
- Corporate governance of different types of Chinese firms such as state-owned firms, family firms and publicly-listed firms
- Entrepreneurship in China’s emerging market
- Knowledge search, spillovers and innovation
- Internationalization of Chinese firms
- Competition and cooperation between domestic firms and foreign firms
- Ethics, corruption and corporate social responsibility
- Business leadership in the transitional era in China, or indigenous models of Chinese business leadership and their functioning mechanisms
- The balance of harmony and conflict in managing Chinese employees
- Social capital and guanxi in the evolving Chinese economic, social, and cultural contexts
Please refer to the article by Whetten (2009) for a discussion of contextualized research and articles by Tsui, (2004, 2006, 2007) for a discussion of indigenous research. To put it simply, contextualization involves extension and modification of existing theories in analyzing local phenomena. Indigenous research involves developing new theories to explain phenomena that defy the explanation or logic provided by existing theories. Contextualized research usually involves theory testing while indigenous research may involve either theory testing or theory building.
Proposal Evaluation
The proposals will be evaluated by the members of IACMR Research Committee and other experienced scholars in the management area. The criteria for assessing the proposals include:
- Relevance to the theme of “Context-Sensitive Management Research in China”
- Interestingness, innovativeness, and novelty of the research questions and potential answers
- Clarity of exposition
- Adequacy of the research methods
- Potential theoretical contributions
- Potential empirical contributions
- Potential implications for practice
