>> CALL FOR PAPERS
>>
>> Special Issue on Social Movements in Organizations and Markets
>>
>> The Administrative Science Quarterly is seeking papers for a special
>> issue on Social Movements in Organizations and Markets, guest edited
>> by Gerald Davis, Calvin Morrill, Hayagreeva Rao, and Sarah Soule.
>> Social movements are motors of cultural, technological, and
>> institutional innovation in organizations and markets and have
>> increasingly attracted the attention of organizational researchers.
>> Organizations are both actors in, and sites of, social movement
>> activities; moreover, movements and organizations share common
>> mechanisms of organized action. A special issue on this topic is
>> timely and valuable.
>>
>> The real world is rife with contention and collective action, yet
>> our journals do not reflect such contestation. Movements dedicated
>> to investor rights, or the rights of immigrant workers or
>> marginalized service occupations, or campaigns attacking
>> bio-technology, genetically modified food, or large multinational
>> corporations such as McDonald's or Nike impinge on our daily
>> consciousness through mass media, blogs, and podcasts. A special
>> issue provides an opportunity for ASQ to develop better theory about
>> organizations and organizing in the light of contestation and
>> collective action.
>>
>> The guest editors encourage submissions of theoretical and empirical
>> work on social movements in organizations and markets. We invite
>> contributions that span the interorganizational, organizational, and
>> the person level. In particular, we are interested in the following
>> themes and issues:
>>
>> (1) How do social movements develop new industries and
>> organizational forms? What is the role of institutional
>> entrepreneurship? What is the relationship between opportunity,
>> framing, and mobilization?
>>
>> (2) How do new forms emerge as settlements among diverse groups
>> champion different projects? How do settlements develop into
>> informal and formal systems of regulation?
>>
>> (3) How do social movements underlie the de-institutionalization of
>> organizational forms and routines? How does de-legitimation unfold?
>> What explains the success of de-institutionalization? How does the
>> competition between challengers and defenders diffuse across
>> multiple arenas of public opinion, the legislature, and the courts?
>>
>> (4) What is the role of organizations in mediating the impact of
>> social movements? How do movements diffuse across industries? Across
>> nations? How do interfirm networks affect the diffusion process? How
>> do managerialist ideologies diffuse globally via collective action?
>>
>> (5) What roles do technology, media, corporations, states (e.g.,
>> law), and broader cultural orientations play in these dynamics?
>>
>> 1
>>
>> (6) How do movements get inside the organization? How do they
>> traverse from streets to suites?
>>
>> (7) How do social movements shape the success and spread of
>> technological innovations? How do mobilization and
>> counter-mobilization affect competition among technologies? What
>> roles do the collective mobilization of consumers and pressure
>> groups play in the technological choices of firms and the
>> trajectories of technologies?
>>
>> (8) How do social movements reshape life in organizations? How does
>> collective action underpin innovation? Executive succession? How do
>> schisms lead to spin-offs?
>>
>> (9) What are the collective dimensions of intraorganizational
>> conflict and polarization? What social psychological processes
>> affect counter-mobilization and counter-movements?
>>
>> (10) How does collective action affect the construction of
>> complaints? Covert and overt resistance to authority? What is the
>> role of emotional contagion in collective action? How do intrafirm
>> networks promote or impede the diffusion of collective action?
>>
>> (11) Why do individuals join movements? How are they recruited via
>> interpersonal networks? What explains the success of recruitment
>> efforts?
>>
>> (12) What is the role of identity in eliciting and sustaining
>> movement participation? How are individuals socialized into activism
>> and leadership roles in social movement organizations?
>>
>> This list of questions and issues is suggestive rather than
>> exhaustive. We are open to a wide range of methods, ranging from
>> case studies to computer simulations, and to settings ranging from
>> civil rights to corporate fraud and from shareholder activism to
>> slow food. Our goal is to broaden and deepen theories of collective
>> action and contestation.
>>
>> The last date for submissions is May 1, 2007. Manuscripts in ASQ
>> format can be submitted to Asq-submit@???, with the
>> subject-line heading "Social Movements Special Issue." See the
>> Notice to Contributors on the ASQ Web page
>> (http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/publications/asq/) for information
>> on preparing manuscripts.
