Call for Papers: Special Issue Transparency!

Transparency – the disclosure, accuracy and clarity of information provided by senders to receivers which is increasingly driven by advances in digital technologies – is sometimes hailed as a panacea for a wide range of problems and challenges that businesses and other actors face. For example, climate change is often described as the result of a vast market failure, and increased transparency about the climate-related risks, opportunities, and impacts is among the possible remedies proposed or implemented by policy makers. Likewise, many call for increased transparency of corporations and other collective actors to increase stakeholder trust and accountability. However, studies have also identified potential ’dark sides’ and unintended consequences of transparency, such as corruption of bureaucrats, envy among coworkers, and dissonance. To provide a forum that bridges diverse perspectives on transparency in business research, we invite papers that examine new forms, causes, and (intended and unintended) consequences from the perspectives of corporations, their stakeholders, other organizations, and policy-makers.

Papers for the Special Issue may address, for example, the following topics:

- What are new digitally mediated forms of internal and external transparency?
- How do corporations and other collective actors respond to new forms of transparency?
- How do organizational and inter-organizational relationships and processes change because of (new forms of) transparency?
- How does transparency alter the evaluation of corporations and the allocation of financial resources?
- What is the role of transparency in leading, recruiting, and developing human resources?
- How and when do stakeholders and public organizations successfully enforce transparency? • What part does transparency play in the development of software systems and digital innovations?
- What is the role of transparency in the design of formal organizational structures and (digital) processes?
- How do entrepreneurs leverage transparency when scaling their ventures or interacting with stakeholders?
- What is the impact of transparency for innovating within and across the boundaries of corporations?

The aim of the Special Issue is to publish new and pathbreaking work that engages with the above mentioned or related questions. We invite papers that provide new theories and/or evidence and engage with salient bodies of theoretical and applied knowledge. We welcome theoretical, quantitative and qualitative empirical, and methodological contributions that speak to these aspects. Also results of design oriented research, which is particularly know in Business Informatics and related fields, are welcome. All contributions should clearly address the practical and theoretical implications for business decisions and/or societal institutions.

Submission guidelines and deadlines:

All manuscripts must follow the guidelines of the Schmalenbach Journal of Business Research, which are available at: http://www.springer.com/41471. Manuscripts should be submitted via the Editorial Manager of Springer at https://www.editorialmanager.com/sbur/default.aspx under the manuscript category “Special Issue: Transformation”.

Submission deadline: September 30, 2023
Expected publication date: Autumn 2024

Submit now to our Special Issue "Resilience"!
Deadline 26. February 2022, edited by:

Tine Buyl (Tilburg University)
Thomas Gehrig (University of Vienna)

Andreas Wieland (Copenhagen Business School)

The COVID-19 pandemic has been perceived as a “stress test” of unprecedented dimensions, challenging the resilience of business models, societal institutions, and entire economies. While the pandemic is still in full swing, plenty of empirical evidence has emerged already. Simultaneously, the extent of the climate and biodiversity crises are becoming increasingly clear, fundamentally questioning the way we have done business up to now. This demonstrates that “going back to normal” may not be aligned with a resilient business world. Now is a perfect time to take stock and analyze the shortcomings and lack of resiliencies of current business models in order to learn from this pandemic and help businesses, institutions, societies, and economies to gain additional resilience.

lease ollow https://www.springer.com/journal/41471/updates/19561602
for detailed information.

We welcome paradigmatic, theoretical, empirical (quantitative and qualitative), and methodological contributions that address the diverse aspects of resilience. All contributions should clearly address the practical and theoretical implications for business decisions and/or societal institutions.

23/02/2021

SBUR is open for submissions via https://www.editorialmanager.com/sbur/default.aspx

Information on the submission process:

SBUR is a fully Open Access (OA) journal that is financed by Article Processing Charges (APCs) raised by the publisher in case a manuscript is accepted for publication.

Some agreements between national consortia or consortia of research institutions and Springer Nature (like Projekt DEAL) cover the APCs for publications in fully OA journals. Please check existing fully OA agreements on https://www.springernature.com/de/open-research/institutional-agreements.

For corresponding authors based in Germany: The agreement with Projekt DEAL includes fully OA and hybrid journals. Please see https://www.springernature.com/de/open-research/institutional-agreements/oaforgermany for more information on eligible institutions in Germany. Moreover, several research funding institutions offer reimbursement of APCs in their support for the Open Science philosophy, such as the DFG or the FWF.

To take advantage of these agreements, please follow the steps described below.

During the submission process, you will be asked to consent to an APC payment. You can choose either

• the first option: „I accept responsibility for paying the APC on this article or I believe that I am covered by a Springer Nature Open Access agreement“. This option is suitable in most cases for corresponding authors at institutions in Germany because most universities and research institutions have signed the DEAL.

or

• the second option: „I believe that I am covered by a BMC/SpringerOpen Membership Account and wish to request institutional payment or discount (as applicable)”. Please choose this option if you are not at a German university or research institution, and enter the following code:

BB-SGFB-SBUR-1220

By selecting this option, you apply for funding by the two owners of the journal, Schmalenbach-Gesellschaft and VHB ([email protected]).

We do not recommend to choose the third option as this applies only in very special cases.

At acceptance of your manuscript, your eligibility for a Springer Nature Open Access agreement (e.g., DEAL) will nevertheless be checked in the first place, no matter if you chose the first or the second option. If you are found to be eligible for a Springer Nature Open Access agreement, your application for funding by the societies (Schmalenbach-Gesellschaft and VHB) will be automatically withdrawn. In this case, DEAL will be charged for your APC payment. If none of these other reimbursements is available, your application for funding by Schmalenbach-Gesellschaft and VHB will be further processed.
