Call for papers for the Journal of Business Research (Elsevier) and Psychology & Marketing (Wiley). The JBR will publish two special issues, and P&M will publish a double special issue from conference papers presented at GIKA 2016 (LAST and FINAL in Valencia).
Submission deadlines
All scholars wishing to present papers at GIKA 2016 must submit a full paper or an extended abstract by Tuesday, November 10, 2015. All scholars who have submitted only an extended abstract by this date must then submit the full paper by Sunday, January 10, 2016.
CALL FOR PAPERS NOW OPEN
The 2016 Global Innovation and Knowledge Academy (GIKA) Conference invites papers that discuss issues related to knowledge and innovation. The conference will be held in Valencia (Spain). This will be the last and final GIKA Conference to be held in Valencia, although other cities and countries may organize and hold future editions of the Conference. The Conference will take place from March 20 (Sunday) to March 23 (Wednesday), 2016.
The JBR will participate in this 6th GIKA Conference by publishing two special issues comprising outstanding papers from the Conference. The special issues will focus on the following themes:
1. “Turning Kurt Lewin on his head: Nothing is so theoretical as a good practice” (open topic). This theme provides a platform to discuss the reverse thought: good theory follows from bad or good practice and executives’ attempts to recognize and solve paradoxes in practice. Guest editors encourage papers from scholars seeking to extend practice to the theory of business, management, and economics. As Lewin (1945) famously said, "nothing is so practical as a good theory."
2. “Qualitative Comparative Analysis, Crisp and Fuzzy Set, in Innovation and Knowledge” (exclusively on research methods).
We are also pleased to announce that for the first time Psychology & Marketing will participate in the 6th GIKA Conference. P&M will publish a double special issue focusing on “The Role of Qualitative Research in Current Digital Social Media: Issues and Aspects.”
The 1st edition of GIKA received papers by scholars from 15 countries, the 2nd GIKA Conference boasted papers by researchers from more than 40 countries, and the 3rd edition of GIKA received papers by scholars from 31 countries. The 4th edition was held in Taiwan (Asia). Finally, the 5th edition welcomed papers form more than 60 countries.
We are proud to announce the 6th GIKA Conference, which will be the LAST and FINAL GIKA Conference to be held in Valencia (Spain), although other cities and countries may organize and hold future editions of the Conference. Feedback and Q&A sessions, including suggestions from editors of international journals attending the Conference, will help the authors publish their papers. Other international journals participating in GIKA 2016 are the Journal of Promotion Management (Taylor & Francis), the Journal of Small Business Strategy, Contemporary Economics, and the International Journal of Export Marketing (Inderscience).
This edition of the GIKA Conference offers scholars the chance to publish their research in special issues of the JBR, P&M, and other international journals. These special issues will contain the best papers from the Conference. At GIKA 2016 we are honored to announce that there will be TWO SPECIAL ISSUES of the JBR to be published in 2017 and a DOUBLE SPECIAL ISSUE of P&M. In addition to paper presentation sessions, paper symposiums, and plenary speaker sessions by top international scholars, the Conference provides further support for scholars by offering a pre-conference research methodology workshop (by Professor Arch Woodside), a keynote speech, and a meet-the-editor session on how to publish in the Journal of Business Research (JBR) (by the JBR editor, Arch Woodside). The GIKA Conference welcomes eminent international researchers keen to share their knowledge and advice with Conference participants from all over the world.
Valencia is a beautiful city (please visit http://www.turisvalencia.es/en/plan-your-trip-to-valencia/general-info/tourist-info for more details) with many fascinating historical monuments, excellent food and drink, and a lively Mediterranean atmosphere. March is a popular month in Valencia because this is when the residents celebrate the city’s world famous Fallas Fiestas (from March 15 to March 19). As a farewell to the GIKA Conference’s time in Valencia, GIKA 2016 will coincide with Las Fallas Fiestas.
Arch Woodside, GIKA Honorary Chair

Special Issue on: "Political Systems: the Drivers of Tourism Policy"
Guest Editor:
Amitabh Upadhya
The political system in a particular country largely influences the organization of its tourism. Effective development, operation and management of tourism require certain institutional elements that provide direction to tourism development. Tourism policies provide the framework within which tourism in a country works, it relates to the structure of the industry and is concerned with the issues involved in, and approaches to, tourism. The priority which a country accords to tourism in the national economy, and its assessment of the potential value of tourism to the economy, in relation to other industries, also determines the character of its organization of tourism. In countries which have a unitary constitution, or centralized government, tourism is controlled by the central government. On the other hand, in countries with a federal constitutional form, the tourist organization comprises one or more cooperative bodies at the national level and individual provinces enjoy a great deal of freedom in tourism matters. However, even in some countries with a federal system tourism is central and subordinate only to the central government. Some countries have two parallel systems- one central system and several state or regional tourist organizations, which may be subordinate only to state authorities, forming a provincial or local network, or both may be subordinate to the central government and the local authorities. National Tourist Organizations (NTO) in most countries, are structured as government departments, semi government organizations and or even private associations. Having the potential of earning precious foreign exchange and generating employment, governments in general are unable to resist the temptation to keep control of policy directions to NTOs/DMOs (Wanhill et al 2008). Political interference in management of tourism is seen to be increasing whereas tourism is playing a significant role towards diversification of national economies.
This special issue invites research papers on political, economic, social, cultural or environmental policy commands that chart the course of tourism development in a country or destination.
The objective of the issue is to assess the role of political influence on policy formulation in regard to tourism development and its merits/demerits. Questions regarding the forms and formats of governance having impact on tourism policies may also be raised. Studies focusing on and highlighting tourism policy initiatives or the lack thereof will also be considered.
Papers should focus on the symbiotic relationship between the organization of tourism and the political system of the destination country. Contributions in either the form of research papers or case studies are welcome.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the International Conference on Tourism 2015, but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Political systems and tourism development

SIG: Business FOR Society
Track: Finance, Economy and Society, For a Sustainable Re-embedding
The financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath have highlighted the limits and risks of an increasingly global and embedded economy. The social tumults and economic upheavals resulting from the subprime crisis have revealed the dysfunctioning, shortcomings and failures of the financial and regulatory institutions. Financialization has led to commodification, speculation and instability leading to moral hazard and causing disturbance in the real sector of the economy as witnessed by procyclical and countercyclical economic variables. In acknowledging the need for greater transparency and efficacy, researchers and practitioners have looked for alternative economic and financing models that challenge the capitalistic system of production and distribution.
The ‘Finance, Economy and Society: for a Sustainable re-embedding’ track invites the authors to submit their theoretical and empirical contributions with a focus on, but not limited to, the following questions and themes:
- How alternative sources of financing (e.g. microfinance, crowdfunding, cooperative banks, SME stock exchanges, SRI funds, faith-based financing) should be used to create more efficient and manageable cooperative schemes among different stakeholders?
- Can alternative sources of financing, notably microfinance or crowdfunding, create durable relationship between social actors and lead to social innovation? In which ways mutual and cooperative banks can support alternative business models congruent with long term societal goals?
- Are new and alternative sources of financing models symptomatic of or conducive to social innovation and new economic models in an emerging cooperative and collaborative economic environment?
- What other alternative economic models can be envisaged by those who operate at the bottom of the social pyramid? Can alternative market organizations formed by producer and consumer networks using other forms of currencies help social ties?
- How should the global financial system be regulated? How should economic and financial institutions co-evolve, co-operate, and co-construct mutually beneficial initiatives?
- How can different stakeholders (i.e. social entrepreneurs, firms, investors, consumers, employees) be brought to engage in mutually beneficial and rewarding relationship by creating shared value, and by being more engaging, ethical and innovative?
- What are the impact of regulations (Basle / Solvency) on organizational changes after an M&A, on banks and insurance companies’ governance, on inter-group liquidity risk management, on solvency risk and systemic risk management and on risk credit management and bank-counterpart relationship management (sovereign and corporate)?
- How can we begin to think differently about the regulatory setting in which business contributes to the wellbeing of society through tax payments, in the face of growing pressure to pay a fair share of tax coupled with increasing competition between nations to capture that share?
