Publishing with Creativity andInnovation Management

Designing qualitative research for
high-ranked international journals

The seminar will be focused on editing, publishing andreviewing with an international journal like Creativity andInnovation Management. The seminar will be presentingCreativity and Innovation Management as an outlet – the aim,priorities and key figures. It will also introduce the proceduresthat the journal employs in order to ensure high-quality
submissions. Lastly, it will outline some guidelines to potential
authors and reviewers that wish to get engaged with Creativityand Innovation Management.
This session is also held as the GSBA Faculty Development
Workshop.

Most high-ranked international journals have an implicit orexplicit bias towards quantitative research. As an editor-inchief at Creativity and Innovation Management, René Chester
Goduscheit has made some reflections on how this can be –and (more importantly) whether this can changed. Often,
studies on the basis of qualitative research have a tendency ofbeing less convincing and more anecdotical than large-N
quantitative research. However, a substantial part of thesechallenges can be overcome by a proper research design. The
seminar will also introduce recent methodology developments
like Qualitative Comparative Analysis that potentially canalleviate the challenges of publishing qualitative studies.

Servitization and organizational
resilience of manufacturing Small andMedium-Sized Enterprises

Responsible Innovation

This seminar will introduce and discuss contemporary
challenges and tendencies among manufacturing Small andMedium-Sized Enterprises. On the basis of two ongoing
research projects in Denmark, the seminar will present
servitization (product-oriented companies expanding theirofferings with product-enabled services) and organizational
resilience (the ability of companies to resist and even benefit
from externally imposed changes) as trends within theresearch on manufacturing SMEs. The seminar will discussboth papers already published within servitization andorganization resilience – and seek to identify potential
avenues for future research within the research fields.

The seminar will present and discuss the phenomenon of
Responsible Innovation as a theoretical and empirical field.
The point of departure is an extensive study of Danish
manufacturing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises that areworking with responsible/sustainable innovation as part oftheir strategy. The seminar will outline some of the conceptual
frameworks, which describe both the enablers and barriers ofresponsible innovation. And the data from the Danish research
project will seek to partly depict a critical perspective on theprior frameworks and partly present a potentially useable anduseful theoretical scaffolding for future studies within the field.
