Dear Colleagues,
The proposed book titled ‘International Human Resource Management: Practices, Trends and Future Directions is commissioned by Nova Science Publishers, New York (www.novapublishers.com).
We would like to take this opportunity to cordially invite you to submit a chapter for consideration to be published in 2016.
The aim of this book is to collect contributions that would address any practices, trends and future directions of human resource management (HRM) within the context of international business.
The rapid process of globalisation has facilitated massive migration and movement of people across international borders, esp. via multinational companies through
their trade and investment activities. Effective international business operation is not possible without implementing best practices of global HRM to motivate, attract and retain good
people who help in the success process. Therefore, in this volume, we would anticipate the contributions to document, discuss and debate key international HRM issues, with focus on the following broader but not exhaustive areas of international
business and HRM:
Contribution for this edited book are intended to range from 4,000 to 10,000 words. We also welcome either a Commentary or Short Communication of 1,000-3,000 words.
The book is planned to be published in September 2016. The deadline of final chapter submission is on 31 October 2015.
Further inquiries and final submission of your contributions should be directed to Dr Connie Zheng, Book Editor, via email at [log in to unmask].

NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS, THROUGH AUGUST 31:
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of the Journal of International Business Studies
The role of financial and legal institutions
in INTERNATIONAL corporate governance
Special Issue Editors
Deadline for submission: August 31, 2015
Tentative publication date: Spring/Summer 2017
Nature of the Special Issue
Financial and legal institutions play key roles in facilitating governance through monitoring and mitigating information asymmetries, thereby enhancing international business and economic growth. Legal scholars emphasize that auditors, financial analysis, and banks serve as reputational gatekeepers that strongly influence capital market development (Coffee, 2002). Economists observe that legal institutions, such as courts and regulatory agencies, influence corporate finance and financial development by supporting private contractual arrangements (Beck and Levine, 2008). Yet, the development of financial and legal institutions varies widely across countries and political regimes. In this special issue, we seek to encourage diverse international business approaches to help foster the discourse on the relative importance of financial and legal institutions for corporate governance in different economies around the world. Further research is warranted on exactly how these institutions influence asymmetric information problems, how financial and legal institutions work in tandem and apart, and the differences in mechanism effectiveness in dissimilar economies and political regimes.
The law and finance literature highlights the importance of strong financial and legal institutions in promoting access to finance, economic development and growth. For example, stronger securities regulatory systems facilitate initial public offerings (La Porta et al., 1997, 1998, 2006), the spawning of new entrepreneurial start-ups (Klapper et al., 2006; Cumming and Knill, 2012) and growth in emerging markets (Senbet and Ncube, 1997; Allen et al., 2005; Bekaert et al., 2005). The success of these corporate endeavors, however, largely depends on the ability of corporate governance systems to mitigate agency problems and other governance conflicts specific to the particular economy (Shleifer and Vishny, 1997; John and Senbet, 1998; Gompers et al., 2003). Research shows that institutions may not only shape the nature of dominant governance problems in different countries, but also influence the efficacy of firm-level governance solutions (Chahine et al., 2012).
Recent work demonstrates that legal institutions by themselves fail to explain problems with corporate governance and more generally economic development in many markets around the world, such as China (Allen et al., 2005), India (Allen et al., 2012) and African countries (Allen et al., 2013). The success of certain countries, and the continued lack of success of others, remains largely unexplained on the basis of current understandings of the difficulties in separating ownership and control. In countries such as China, which often lack strong Western-style legal institutions and governance regulations, financial intermediaries establish other governance mechanisms that facilitate access to finance and economic growth.
Politics potentially distorts the role that legal and financial institutions play in corporate governance and skew the desired outcomes. Two dimensions within which politics can enhance or diminish the benefits that legal and financial institutions can provide in corporate governance around the world are: 1) the political economy of financial regulation (see, e.g., Rajan and Zingales, 2003), and 2) the value of political connections (among others, Fisman, 2001; Faccio et al., 2006; Claessens et al., 2008). Studies document that firms benefit from political connections, yet the impact on the international business aspects of corporate governance remains unclear as does the net or aggregate impact on industry growth.
We invite contributions to this special issue on the role of financial and legal institutions in corporate governance around the world. Our goal in this special issue is to integrate the strengths of finance, law, and international business scholars to gain insights into resolving asymmetric information and the associated governance problems in international business.
Topics
Submissions are encouraged from scholars that use different theoretical and empirical approaches to understand corporate governance, financial intermediation and growth in emerging and developed markets with an emphasis on finance, law and in politics. While not exhaustive, the following list suggests possible issues that would be appropriate to address in this special issue:
• How do financial and regulatory constraints impact strategy and growth in private versus public firms across different markets and/or over time?
• What influences regulatory competition across various economies? For instance, given that countries compete on corporate taxes, listing requirements, governance regulations, and court systems, how does regulatory competition effect FDI, or more broadly, international business?
• How do firms adapt their governance mechanisms and capital raising strategies in uncertain political and regulatory environments in different markets?
• What legal and/or political factors insulate firms in times of crisis? Do these differ across foreign and local firms?
• What is the role of financial regulation in spurring or discouraging international business and economic growth in emerging versus developed markets?
• What is the relative impact of political connectedness in different contexts in conferring special advantages to certain sectors of the economy or politically favored firms? For example, do political connections vary in their importance/effectiveness in countries with different financial and legal institutions?
• How important are property rights to financing innovation and international entrepreneurship? For instance, does the importance of property rights affect the types of financing activities in emerging and developed markets? How do differences in property rights influence sources of funding for innovative activities?
• How has the globalization of the IPO market and evolving regulation of exchanges around the world influenced international business and economic development in different countries?
• What patterns exist in disclosure policy, earnings management and accountability problems around the world and how do these patterns impact international business?
• How is the investor landscape changing? For example, what is the governance impact of private equity investors, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds and other financial intermediaries?
• Does the political economy of international financial regulation influence how different firms raise capital in a global economy?
This Special Issue will provide an opportunity for JIBS to reach out to a wider audience that has traditionally been associated with the leading economics and finance journals. By publishing this Special Issue, JIBS will not only acknowledge the significant contribution of the “law and economics” perspective to international business research, but it will also send a strong signal that the journal wants to be an outlet of choice for top scholars working in the international economics, finance and comparative law areas.
Submission Process
All manuscripts will be reviewed as a cohort for this special issue. Manuscripts must be submitted in the window between August 17, 2015, and August 31, 2015, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jibs. All submissions will go through the JIBS regular double-blind review process and follow the standard norms and processes.
For more information about this call for papers, please contact the Special Issue Editors or the JIBS Managing Editor ([log in to unmask]).
Cass Business School Workshop: Emerging Markets International Business
Cass Business School, in cooperation with JIBS, is pleased to host an international research workshop on “The Role of Financial and Legal Institutions in Corporate Governance” in February 2016, in conjunction with this special issue. The workshop will provide an opportunity for authors whose work has been shortlisted for the JIBS Special Issue. Experienced and distinguished scholars will serve as discussants to facilitate the development of the papers. There will be scholars interested in attending as general participants.
Details on the workshop will be forthcoming in 2015.

CALL FOR PAPERSThe Political Economy of Chinese Finance
VOLUME EDITORSJ. Jay Choi, Temple University, USAMichael R. Powers, Tsinghua University, ChinaXiaotian Tina Zhang, Saint Mary’s College of California, USA This edited book is scheduled as volume 17 of International Finance Review (IFR), an annual book series. IFR publishes theme-oriented edited volumes on various issues in international finance, including global dimensions of financial economics, accounting and strategy. IFR is indexed by AERES (France), EconLit, Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCO, Thomson Reuters' Book Citation Index, and others.
ABOUT THE NEW VOLUME:Despite the broad acceptance of the market paradigm in mainstream economics and finance, there remains an ongoing debate pertaining to the proper role of government in addressing market failures and imperfections. Conversely, state-directed command economies such as China’s have transitioned to a market economy, but remain under significant central control and influence. In China, the role of government is still pervasive, from state-owned or partially privatized firms, to regulation of the financial sector, to supervision through political and legal institutions. The emergence of China as a global economic power provides added interest to the questions of how state-based Chinese firms and markets operate and how they behave differently from those of market-based industrial economies. In this volume, we welcome original manuscripts on a variety of issues relating to the political economy of Chinese finance, including (but not limited to): o The pattern of government ownership and control of Chinese firms
o The role of government in corporate governance of industrial and financial firms
o The interaction of culture, law and institutions in Chinese governance systems
o Corporate social responsibility, stakeholders and sustainable growth
o The effect of political connections on corporate performance and society
o Privatization, IPOs, exchange listing and firm valuation
o The role of government in banking and financial markets
o Practice of corporate risk management and insurance
o Foreign-exchange policy and its effect on firms and markets
o Foreign direct and portfolio investments in China
o International investments and operations of Chinese firms
o Chinese economic relations with the US and other countries
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:We invite the submission of original research papers in all modalities: theoretical, empirical, institutional or policy-oriented. Interested authors are encouraged to submit completed papers electronically (in Microsoft Word) via email to all three co-editors as early as possible, but no later than August 30, 2015:

1st International Conference on Business Diplomacy
December 4th
2015 – The Netherlands
Venue: Windesheim University of Applied Sciences – Zwolle (The Netherlands). In collaboration with Netherlands Institute
of International Relations Clingendael, Ghent University (Belgium), Diplomacy dialogue (Geneva)
CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
Global legitimacy challenges for international companies and strategic business diplomacy
Introduction to the theme:
Multinational entreprises (MNEs) experienced ‘golden days’ during the 1990s and 2000s, they expanded globally and were major players
in globalization. Today they have become powerful actors in the global economy. CEOs of international businesses are welcomed by heads of state as their counterparts, they are invited by governments to help solve global issues such as climate change and poverty,
and they are facing dilemmas comparable to those of other international actors.
However, MNEs are facing global legitimacy challenges. They are suspected of tax avoidance, using low wage countries for corporate
benefits only, disrespecting privacy regulations, abusing consumer data, violating local community rights, exploiting natural resources, ignoring basic human rights, and employing too many lobbyists targeting national and international political decision-making
processes for their own corporate interests.
Although many of these challenges are not new, they have resurfaced and become more apparent during the past couple of years, partly
due to the economic recession that many developed economies have faced and to the broader awareness of increasing global inequality and the importance of sustainability.
How can international business respond? Strategic business diplomacy may be the answer.
Business diplomacy involves developing strategies for long-term, positive relationship building with governments, local communities, and interest groups, aiming to establish and sustain legitimacy and to mitigate the risks arising from all non-commercial
or exogenous factors in the global business environment.
Business diplomacy is different from lobbying or strategic political activity; it implies an (strategic / holistic) approach of an
international business to look at itself as an actor in the international diplomatic arena. Representation, communication and negotiation are key in such an approach.
One of the consequences is that MNEs are able to operate in and show respect for an international business environment that consists
of multiple stakeholders. This demands a strategic perspective and vision on the sector and the business environments in which the company wants to operate, and requires a specific set of instruments, skills and competences.
This conference brings together international business representatives, practitioners and researchers in a one and a half day-event.
Insights into business diplomacy presented by leading international companies are seen as important input for the conference. Researchers who have contributed to the development of the field and who have worked with business leaders will address what strategic
business diplomacy looks like from their perspective, and how it impacts the legitimacy challenges that international business faces.

Call for papers for Special Issue of Journal of International Management
Global Crisis Management
Guest editors: Timothy Coombs, Texas A&M, USA and Daniel Laufer, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
Deadline: October 31st, 2016
Submission to:
[log in to unmask]
and [log in to unmask]
1. Purpose of Special Issue
Examples of crises involving multinationals can be found in the media around the world on a regular basis. Examples of high profile crises involving
multinationals include the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the oil spill in the Gulf by BP, sudden acceleration in Toyota cars, and people becoming seriously ill after using Vioxx, a prescription drug manufactured by the American multinational
Merck.
Despite the importance of Crisis Management to both academicians and practitioners, only recently have business journals devoted special issues
to the topic (Laufer, 2015), and none to our knowledge in the area of global crisis management.
Crisis Management is defined as “a set of factors designed to combat crises and to lessen the actual damage inflicted by a crisis” (Coombs, 2015).
Drawing from the literature in emergency preparedness, crisis management involves four interrelated factors: Prevention, preparation, response and revision (Coombs, 2015). These factors are incorporated in a commonly used three-stage approach describing Crisis
Management as involving three phases. The pre-crisis phase (prevention and preparation), the crisis phase (response), and the post-crisis phase (learning and revision).
2. Examples of research themes and questions for the Special Issue
Whereas research has been conducted in all three phases of Crisis Management, most of the research is in the crisis phase and very little has been
examined in the international context. This special issue is devoted to this area, and in particular we encourage submission of cross-cultural papers examining how the practice of Crisis Management differs across countries. Both theoretical and empirical submissions
are welcome. The empirical studies can use quantitative or qualitative methods. The following list of themes and questions are meant to be illustrative, not exhaustive, and to provide an indication of topics we are interested in for this Special Issue.
·
Risk Assessment and Diagnosing Crisis Vulnerabilities: Do stakeholders assess risk differently across countries? What cultural factors influence risk assessment?
·
Impact of Crises on Stakeholder Relationships (Employees, Customers, the Media, Shareholders): Do stakeholders react differently to crises across countries? What cultural
factors influence the different reactions?
·
Communications During Crises: Do stakeholders react differently to corporate communication strategies across countries? What cultural factors influence the different
reactions? Which communication strategies are most effective in a global context?
·
Managing Global Crises: How does a global crisis differ from a localized one? What factors need to be considered by companies in responding to a global crisis?
·
The Role of Corporate Reputation in a Crisis: What role does corporate reputation play in a global crisis? What is the impact of a strong corporate reputation during
a global crisis. Is it more or less effective in certain cross-cultural contexts? How is corporate reputation impacted by a crisis? Is it more or less adversely impacted in certain countries? What cultural factors influence the extent of reputational harm?
·
Organizational Learning & Crises: Are employees in certain countries more or less receptive to learning from a crisis, and open to organizational change? What cultural
factors facilitate organizational changes following a crisis?
3. Submission Instructions
The deadline for submission of manuscripts is October 31, 2016. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with Journal of International Management’s
Style Guide for Authors: http://sbm.temple.edu/jim/authors.html.
Manuscripts should be electronically submitted to the Guest editors at [log in to unmask]

Series Editors: Sumit Kundu, James K Batten Eminent Scholar Chair in International Business, Florida International University, USA Vijay Pereira, Senior Lecturer, University of Portsmouth, UK Ashish Malik, Lecturer, University of Newcastle, Australia Surender Munjal, Lecturer in International Business and Strategy, University of Leeds, UK |

About The Series: Globalization has led to spatial division and disaggregation of work across the globe, leading to the evolution of novel forms of work organization and contextually-embedded approaches such as co-working and co-creation in an interconnected and interdependent ecosystem. Whilst there are many advantages of scale and scope associated with these work design forms there are also many problems and challenges. Palgrave Studies in Global Human Management presents new research that examines the intersection of globalization, technology, innovation, HRM practices and work organization. With an emphasis on human capital management in international business, the series stresses the importance of culture and contextually-situated knowledge a dynamic work environment, especially in the context of big emerging markets to enhancing productivity and competitiveness with a skilled work force. |
|
Call for Papers: Human Capital and Innovation: Examining the Role of Globalisation is the second book in the Palgrave Studies in Global Human Capital Management series. The aim of the book is to explore how human capital contributes to innovation in multinational organisations within the context of inter-connected globalised world. Globalisation refers to growing economic dependence among countries as reflected in the increasing cross-border flows of goods and services, know-how and people. It has led to slicing of value chain, spatial division and disaggregation of work across the globe. Scholars argue that multinational organisations are best placed to exploit the benefits offered by globalisation. In the early phases of globalisation, multinational organisations outsourced production to low cost locations in developing countries to stay ahead in the competition. However, in recent years, multinational organisations have started to setup offshore research and development centres and acquiring local firms in developing countries to exploit available skills and talent to find new ways to innovate. There are enough examples of developing countries, such as India and China, that have develop competitive advantage based on their human capital. We invite contributions in this emerging area of study with examples from a range of industries and countries. Submission deadline: 31 March 2016 Final submission deadline: 30 June 2016 Publication date: Autum 2016 For more information or to submit a proposal, please contact Professor Sumit Kundu at [log in to unmask] or Dr Surender Munjal at [log in to unmask] |

Title: Global Talent Management and Staffing in MNEs
Guest Editors
Ying Guo University of South Australia
Peter J. Dowling La Trobe University
Hussain G. Rammal University of South Australia
The ability of MNEs to attract, develop, manage and retain talent across its global network can be a source of competitive advantage (Collings & Mellahi, 2009; Tarique & Schuler, 2010). Talent management
involves managing employee development in a global context and staffing the worldwide operations of the MNE (Collings, 2014; Sidani & Al Ariss, 2014).
Historically, expatriate assignments were for an extended period of time. However, the high cost associated with expatriate assignments has forced MNEs to use short-term international staffing arrangements
(Collings, Scullion, & Morley, 2007; Reiche, Kraimer, & Harzing, 2011). These alternative arrangements include short-term commuter assignments and virtual assignments (Collings, et al., 2007; Dowling, Festing, & Engle, 2013). MNEs are now more focussed on
developing and using the global talent pool rather than sending expatriates for specific tasks (Sparrow, Scullion, & Tarique, 2014).
For this volume, we invite chapters on issues relating to talent management in MNEs with an emphasis on global mobility from organizational, individual and contextual perspectives. From the organizational
perspective, we are interested in topics related to the arrangement and management of various workforce patterns in the global operations of MNEs. We are also interested in exploring how expatriates develop their careers through international assignments (Bonache,
Brewster, & Suutari, 2001; Dickmann & Harris, 2005). From a contextual perspective, issues related to talent management by MNEs in both developed and emerging economies are also of interest (Farndale, Scullion, & Sparrow, 2010).
We invite conceptual and empirical submissions that address the following topics (but are not limited to):
What is the role of HR in implementing and facilitating global staffing and talent management in MNEs?
What are the antecedents and outcomes of talent management and global staffing at individual, organizational and country level?
How do contextual factors influence talent management and staffing in MNEs?
What influences MNE global staffing choices with respect to parent country nationals (PCNs), third country nationals (TCNs) and host country nationals (HCNs)?
Submission Information:
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their chapter (9,000 words in length) to the Guest Editors of the volume ([log in to unmask]).
Submission deadline for chapters: 1 December 2015 (revised date)
Submission deadline for revised chapters:
29 February 2016
The International Business and Management series applies a truly international perspective to the study of international business, with a special emphasis on management and marketing issues and aims
to advance the frontiers of knowledge in this fast developing field. Further information on the International Business and Management Series can be found at: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/series/ibm
