GATIC EMERALD CTIM Northwestern University Exploratory and Shaping Workshop: A Global Activity-based Technology Management "Journal" for a Changing World March 17 (evening) & 18, 2011 Northwestern University Jacobs Center (Room 276) (Breakouts 276, 160, 165) 2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL. The Center for Technology & Innovation Management (CTIM) of the Northwestern University (NU) Buffett Center for International & Comparative Studies, in collaboration with the Global Advanced Technology Innovation Consortium (GATIC) and in partnership with the UK-based Emerald Group Publishing House welcome you to a ground-breaking exploratory and shaping one-day workshop. Together, CTIM & GATIC bring together a worldwide partnership network of industry and academic experts from over a dozen leading universities and 120 affiliated firms in the recognition that innovation has not only become increasingly essential for social and economic progress but also more and more challenging. Launched by CTIM-Northwestern University, the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and ETH-Zurich in 2002 and then affiliated with top universities in the UK and across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, its members early recognized that science and technology-based innovation with its increasingly complex and dynamic techno-economic & social context called for new tools and models and new types of organization. Fittingly, GATIC operates as a series of virtual regional “hubs” that are truly global and driven by both industry practice and research (“industry-driven and academically informed”), and is activity-based. A partner in the planned workshop, Emerald Group Publishing, is a leading and innovative publisher of global research impacting business, society, public policy and education with over 700 titles, comprising 200 journals, over 300 books and more than 200 book series, as well as an extensive range of online products and services.) GATIC member dissatisfaction with currently available publication and conference knowledge accumulation and transfer to practice outlets and consequent weak impact is matched In a co-evolving manner, by similar discussion within Emerald concerning the potential for new forms of public communication and knowledge application. Such discussion has also grown out of the awareness that journals in general are challenged by economic conditions and technology evolution pushing digital, open access and on-line discussion enhanced presentation. Relations between industrial and academic organizations are also in flux as both struggle to redefine themselves. An emerging vision is of an activities-linked "journal" that could be unlike any now in existence. It would go beyond international to be global not only in distribution but in accessibility (multiple languages) and collaboration. It would address and engage industry and academic users and research/knowledge producers. It would emphasize publication but also enhance activity including both on-line and in-person projects and applied task forces. Student involvement would be a central feature. Broadly cross-disciplinary and cross-sectored, it would be dedicated to the challenges of emerging (and converging) science, technology, service models and management in a changing and uncertain world.
