Report from our Division Chair
Preparations for the upcoming Academy
of Management meeting in Chicago are
well underway. The Public and
Nonprofit Division is well represented
with an outstanding program for our
community. Thanks to all of you who
have contributed by submitting papers
and panel ideas or by serving as
reviewers. I would like to give special
thanks to Neil Boyd for organizing the
scholarly program and to Leisha
DeHart-Davis for organizing the
program of professional development
workshops. I hope that everyone will be
able to attend this year’s meeting.
I want to briefly update you on some

PNP ELECTIONS. Congratulations to
our newly elected officers for the PNP
Division! The lifeblood of organizations
such as ours is the willingness of our
colleagues to stand for election and
service. We had several outstanding
individuals who accepted nominations to
run for office this year. The elections
were highly competitive and resulted in
an outstanding group of new officers. I
look forward to working with Kim Isett,
our new program chair. For a complete
list of our new officers see the story in
this edition of our newsletter. Special
thanks are due to Brad Wright who did
an outstanding job of recruiting new
candidates to run for election to our
leadership posts.
PNP DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM. If
you are a doctoral student with
aspirations to research and teach in
public or nonprofit management,
consider applying to the Doctoral
Student Professional Development
Consortium of the Public and Nonprofit
(PNP) Division of the Academy of
Management (AoM). The Doctoral Consortium
is an unparalleled opportunity to (a) learn
about publishing; (b) get tips on finding an
academic job; (c) develop your dissertation
and research agenda with the assistance of
senior research scholars; and (d) network
among peers, future colleagues, and potential
employers. The Doctoral Consortium takes
place on Saturday, August 8, 2009. Students
wishing to attend the Consortium should email
a one to three page research proposal no later
than July 3, 2009 to Mary K. Feeney at
mkfeeney@uic.edu. The proposal should
include your name, institutional affiliation, email address, and telephone number at the
top. If you have decided on a dissertation
topic, submit a short synopsis of the
dissertation.
NEW AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS. One
of the signs of growth and progress by the
PNP Division is that our friends and partners
view us as the appropriate home for
recognitions of outstanding achievement and
scholarship. This year three new opportunities
are developing.
1.
The Carlo Masini Award – I am very
pleased to announce that the Institute of
Public and Health Administration at Bocconi
University of Milan has endowed a new best
paper award for innovations in research. This
award has been created in honor of the late
Prof. Carlo Masini who inspired so many
public management scholars in Italy and
throughout the world for his innovations in
scholarship. The Masini Award is designed to
encourage innovation and creativity with the
goal of stimulating advances in theory,
methods, and research in public and nonprofit
scholarship. Each year an international panel
of scholars will review the PNP submissions to
determine which paper (if any) merits
recognition.

Report from our Division Chair (continued from Page 1)
The Carlo Masini Award continued - The award can be as high as $2000 for a recognized paper. Thanks to
Emanuele Vendramini, our international representative, and to Dean Elio Borgonovi for providing the inspiration and
means to create this new award.
2.
IJOTB Sponsorship of the Dexter Award – For several years the PNP has nominated the best
international paper for consideration by the Dexter Award committee of the Academy of Management. The
International Journal of Organization Theory and Behavior has graciously agreed to sponsor an award recognizing
the PNP nominee for outstanding scholarship. Thanks are in order to the leaders of the IJOTB.
3.
The PNP Emerging Scholars Endowment -- The PNP Division Endowment for Development of Emerging
Scholars (EDES) was created in 2008. The annual interest from this fund will enhance the division’s ability to
recognize our Best Dissertation Award and provide financial assistance to emerging scholars attending the PNP
Doctoral Student Consortia. The fund’s initial goal is to add $400.00 to the PNP division’s current $100.00 annual
award. Special thanks to Laurie DiPadova-Stocks for initiating this award and former Division chairs for special gifts
to build this endowment. Please contact me if you are interested in supporting this fund.
AOM CONNECT. Are you on My Space, Facebook, and Linked In or one of the many other social network
programs that have grown so quickly in digital space? This Fall, the Academy of Management will be launching a
new social networking tool for all Academy members called AOM Connect. One of the organizers of this initiative
told me recently that her goal is for “AOM Connect to grow out of our control very quickly”. Watch for the unveiling
of this new program at the meetings in Chicago. I am currently in discussions with the AOM leadership to allow
PNP members to be early adopters of this technology.
PNP AND AOM STRATEGIC PLANNING. The Academy of Management Board of Governors is engaged in a
strategic planning exercise which will culminate in the 2010 meetings in Montreal. PNP was invited to participate in
this exercise. As the current Division Chair I have joined in all the visioning exercises and development of possible
mission statements with gusto. We are still in the early stages of the process so all I can say for sure is that the
thoughtfulness of opinion across the divisions and the AOM leadership is impressive, and even though we are a
small division in the larger Academy the PNP perspective is being heard. I would welcome your views on the
strategic directions that the Academy should consider during this exercise.
REMINDER OF NEW JOURNAL OPPORTUNITY. Brad Wright posted this initiative in last year’s newsletter but I
think the point bears repeating. “One of our members, Arthur Sementelli, is now the managing editor of the
International Journal of Organizational Theory and Behavior (IJOTB). Together with the editor, Khi Thai, they plan
to increase the research on public and nonprofit organizations published in this peer reviewed journal. In order to
encourage continued and increased participation from PNP members, IJOTB has agreed to provide our members
with a discounted subscription rate ($25/year) and is actively soliciting PNPers to submit both symposia and
manuscripts. Several PNP members have also recently been added to IJOTB’s editorial board. For more
information contact Arthur Sementelli (sementel@fau.edu), check out the journal’s website
(http://www.pracademicspress.com/ijotb.html).
NEW FORMAT FOR THE ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT MEETING. All members of the PNP Division should be
aware that there is a new format for the meetings in Chicago. The PDW sessions will take place on Friday and
Saturday (August 7 and 8). The scholarly meeting will take place on Monday and Tuesday (August 10 and 11).
The All Academy PDW sessions and scholarly panels will take place on Sunday (August 9). Our PNP business
meeting and reception will take place on Monday (August 10).
I look forward to seeing you in Chicago!

Report from our Incoming Division Chairs
We are excited that 2010 is the first time we have held the Academy's annual conference in Montreal and that it has
been ten years since our last Academy annual conference outside the US (that was held in Toronto). We hope to
follow in the very fine footsteps of Gordon and Brad and all those many chairs before them. We look forward to
some excellent proposals, interesting sessions, a great academic-practitioner mix of presentations, and are eager to
work with the PNP team to make it an extremely successful conference.
Dean Eitel and Stephen Teo
Report from our Program Chair
Hello Everyone. Over the past several months I have been putting the program together, and now that the product
is complete, I am proud to announce that we are going to have an exciting time in Chicago. The theme is “Green
Management Matters,” and the PNP program will be housed in the Historic Fairmont Hotel in the heart of downtown
Chicago (http://www.fairmont.com/chicago/). This year we had a total of 145 paper and 7 symposia submissions,
and the acceptance process was extremely competitive. If you had a paper or symposium accepted, you should be
very proud of your high quality work. I especially want to thank the reviewers who took the time to provide positive
and substantive reviews.
Our program highlights some excellent work. We had 10 papers published in the “Best Paper Proceedings,” and
we have exceptional work showcased in a number of formats (traditional paper presentations, interactive sessions,
and visual papers). We have sessions on Organizational Sustainability, Networks, Technology and
Entrepreneurship, Innovation Management, Public Participation and Engagement, Non-Profit Boards and Executive
Management, Collaboration and Conflict Management, Public Administration Discourse and Theory, and many
others.

Call For participation in our PNP Doctoral Consortium
If you are a doctoral student with aspirations to research and teach in public or nonprofit management, consider
applying to the Doctoral Student Professional Development Consortium of the Public and Nonprofit (PNP) Division
of the Academy of Management (AoM). The Doctoral Consortium is an unparalleled opportunity to (a) learn about
publishing; (b) get tips on finding an academic job; (c) develop your dissertation and research agenda with the
assistance of senior research scholars; and (d) network among peers, future colleagues, and potential employers.
The consortium will be held Saturday, August 8th from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. James Perry, Distinguished Professor
and Chancellor's Professor of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, will be the luncheon keynote
speaker.
Students wishing to attend the Consortium should email a one to three page research proposal no later than July 3,
2009 to Mary K. Feeney at mkfeeney@uic.edu. The proposal should include your name, institutional affiliation, email address, and telephone number at the top. If you have decided on a dissertation topic, submit a short synopsis
of the dissertation.
PNP is also sponsoring three other innovative Professional
Development Workshops at AoM 2009:
Going to Church: Examining Issues of Management & Organization Behavior in Religious Organizations, will be
held Friday, August 7th, between 9 am and noon. This workshop will be held offsite at the Apostolic Church of God,
where academic researchers and church leaders will engage in a lively, interactive panel discussion to better
understand what the Church can teach organizations, how the Church can inform and influence organizational
scholarship, as well as how research on management and organizations can influence the practices of church
organizations. Attendees will meet in the Fairmont lobby at 9 am for bus pickup.
Lessons from Practice: Cross Sector Partnerships to Solve Social and Environmental Challenges, will take place
on Saturday, August 8th, between 8 am and 11:30 am. This workshop will provide a dynamic interaction between
academics, practitioners, and nongovernment organizations interested in cross sector alliances geared towards
sustainability. Corporate leaders from Wal-Mart, who have worked with over 100 NGOs, along with NGO leaders
from several of their key partners, including Environmental Defense Fund, will present case studies from their
partnerships. Academics with expertise in cross-sectoral partnership research will engage these issues from their
various perspectives. Together, all participants will explore and seek to further develop and/or to challenge extant
explanatory frameworks for successful cross- sectoral partnering.
Responsible Stewardship – Developing Your Own Personal Strategic Plan to Guide Work-Life Balance is
scheduled for Saturday, August 8th, from 3:20 pm to 5:20 pm. This session will equip participants to take personal
stewardship of their own work-life balance, including determining their own stakeholders, personal SWOT
components, and personal strategic issues that must be met to achieve success. Each participant will use this
information to develop realistic goals and objectives for achieving work-life balance.
In addition, PNP is co-sponsoring eight other professional development workshops, on topics ranging from High
Reliability National Security Management to The Energy Challenge.
Pre-registration is required for each of these sessions. To register, please visit
https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg. The deadline to register is July 10, 2009.
I look forward to seeing you in some of our sessions in Chicago!

In addition to those who participated by nominating and voting, I want to give a special thanks to those folks who
were willing to stand as candidates! As a division, we should be proud of the level interest in serving as well as the
quality of candidates. The high caliber of candidates was evident in the results as there was strong support for all

CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear PNP Members,
I am writing to ask that you consider Public Performance & Management Review (PPMR) as a publication venue in
the future.
PPMR is a leading peer-reviewed academic journal that addresses a broad range of factors influencing the
performance of public and non-profit organizations. Its objectives are to facilitate the development of innovative
techniques and to encourage a wider application of those already established; stimulate research and critical
thinking about the relationship between public and private management theories; present integrated analyses of
theories, concepts, strategies, and techniques dealing with performance, measurement, and related questions of
organizational efficacy; and provide a forum for practitioner-academic exchange.
Published since 1975, PPMR is a highly respected journal and is one of the most highly rated journals in the field.
The journal is extensively indexed or abstracted and has been recently added to the online archives of JSTOR.
Since 2005, the contents of PPMR have been indexed in EBSCO Business Source, the Local Government
Information Network (LOGIN), PAIS International, Wilson Business Periodicals Index, Sage Public Administration
Abstracts, Worldwide Political Science Abstracts – all databases widely used by professional librarians and
researchers. This adds to PPMR’s reach and impact. PPMR is published by M.E. Sharpe.
At PPMR, our philosophy is that excellence in academic research is achieved by cooperating with contributors. We
are committed to providing you with timely constructive comments. The average length of time for the peer review
process is less than two months. Authors of manuscripts that do not qualify for the review process are kindly notified

CALL FOR PAPERS (Continued from Page 11)
Special issue on Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise
The main aim of a social entrepreneurship as well as social enterprise is to further social and environmental goals.
This need not be incompatible with making a profit, but social entrepreneurs are often nonprofits. Social enterprises
are for ‘more-than-profit’.
The Journal of Nonprofit & Public Sector Marketing (JNPSM) is publishing a special issue on social
entrepreneurship and social enterprises to encourage additional research on these important topics. Empirical,
conceptual, and literature review articles are welcome. In addition, 600 word book reviews are also welcome. We
are discouraging case studies.
Instructions for authors are online at www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sku=J054
The deadline for submissions is September 1, 2009.
Please send submissions as Word attachments to the editor at walter.wymer@uleth.ca
Special issue on Nonprofit Management Education
While the demand for nonprofit managers continues to grow, higher education still struggles over how best to
educate future nonprofit leaders. Furthermore, nonprofit management is unique among university majors in that it
may found in Schools of Public Administration, Schools of Social Work, or Business Schools.
The Journal of Nonprofit & Public Sector Marketing (JNPSM) is publishing a special issue on nonprofit marketing
and management education. Empirical, conceptual, and literature review articles are welcome. In addition, 600
word book reviews are also welcome. We are discouraging case studies.
Instructions for authors are online at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/WNONauth.asp
The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2009.
Please send submissions as Word attachments to the editor at walter.wymer@uleth.ca
Special issue on Civic Participation and Service Learning
Service-learning (as defined in Wikipedia) is a method of teaching, learning and reflecting that combines academic
classroom curriculum with meaningful service, frequently youth service, throughout the community. Service learning
integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach
civic responsibility, encourage lifelong civic engagement, and strengthen communities for the common good. As
business educators search for innovative ways to educate good people instead of good employees, it is an
opportune time to examine methodologies and outcomes of service learning components of business curricula.
Civic participation refers to active citizenship in which individuals get involved in their communities by voluntary
participation in nonprofit organizations or by civic action into the policy formation process of government. How can
we encourage greater civic participation of individuals in their communities?
The Journal of Nonprofit & Public Sector Marketing (JNPSM) is publishing a special issue on civic participation and
service learning. Empirical, conceptual, and literature review articles are welcome. In addition, 600 word book
reviews are also welcome. We are discouraging case studies.

Cambridge Series on Business and Public Policy
Cambridge University Press has recently launched a new book series, Business and Public Policy, which seeks to
play a pioneering role in shaping the emerging field of business and public policy. This Series focuses on two
central questions. First, how does public policy influence business strategy, operations, organization, and
governance, and with what consequences for both business and society? Second, how do businesses themselves
influence policy institutions, policy processes, and other policy actors and with what outcomes?
In recent years the notion of public policy has become more expansive. The policy environments which businesses
negotiate might be supplied by governmental as well as nongovernmental actors. Across issue areas,
nongovernmental actors have established institutions that shape market opportunities as well as introduce a new
kind of (private) regulatory context that businesses are obliged to consider. Whether they cohere with or undermine
government-supplied institutional context, businesses need to responsive to
both types of policy environments.
We welcome manuscripts whose scope might be national, comparative, or international. These submissions might
focus on a given issue area or compare across issue areas. Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the field, we are
particularly interested in books which appeal to multiple audiences located in social science departments, business
schools, public policy schools, and law schools.

CALL FOR PAPERS (Continued from Page 13)
Management and Organization Review (MOR)
Special Issue on ‘Innovations in Public and Non-profit Sector Organizations in China
Guest Editors:

Joseph Galaskiewicz, University of Arizona
Xianglin Xu, Peking University
Submission Deadline: September 15, 2009
Public and non-profit sector organizations play critical roles in our modern life. Together with for-profit business
organizations, they constitute an organizational network that enables the distribution and exercise of public and
private functions that facilitate political, economic and social development. In the past few decades, the drive for
efficiency, effectiveness, and global competitiveness has propelled a global movement of managerial reform and
organizational reinvention, which is also evident in China. Business and public organizations alike raced with one
another to get on the bandwagon of change and innovation.
While the bottom-line of business organizations is profit, public and nonprofit sector organizations are subject to
competing challenges. Besides the typical interpersonal and inter-organizational tensions such as personnel
grievances, labor disputes, and organizational jurisdiction disputes, public and non-profit sector organizations have
to worry about a broad range of tensions such as:
• economic development versus environmental protection;
• rising public interest concerns versus the call for more dependence on private methods;
• decentralization of power versus the need for coordination of technology development and global competition;
• increased wealth versus enduring problems of poverty and crime;
• shaken public confidence in government versus increased need for confidence in the nation’s economy;
• uncompetitive salaries versus requirements for high-quality public service personnel;
• organizational uncertainty versus increased reliance on employee loyalty to public service;
• high-level national debt versus increased pressure for public spending on social and environmental programs;
• call for democratic institutions versus modern quests for efficiency and effectiveness;
• special interests versus general public interests;
• national homogeneity versus cultural diversity claims;
• need for cooperation versus tensions among ethnic groups and between genders;
• nationalism versus internationalism; and
• promotion for free international markets versus new tariffs to protect domestic industries.
The length of this list, which is by no means exhaustive, underscores a powerful message that public and non-profit
organization leaders have to face truly arduous challenges. A fast growing transitional economy, China’s social
changes have occurred rapidly as well. Its public and non-profit organizations face challenges that are both typical
of their international counterparts and unique to China. The challenges are typical because China is part of the
international community and shares many of the problems other countries currently face. The challenges are unique
because, unlike other nations, China is in the process of transforming from a traditional totalitarian command
economy into an open market economy. Its public institutions and non-profit organizations have to find ways to
work with and promote the ever expanding market economy and to integrate China’s economy with that of the
international community in spite of their institutional legacies from the traditional top-down command economy. The
tactics China’s public and nonprofit organizations use for meeting their challenges, the way they innovate and
change, and the mentality they have regarding their institutional reforms could all have significant bearings on the
direction of China’s future directions of evolution. In the years since opening up to the world, China has been under
consistent pressure for further development.

CALL FOR PAPERS (Continued from Page 14)
Many changes have occurred, as evidenced in China’s quick emergence as a world economic power. Have all
these changes been made in the right way? What innovations have occurred? What lessons can be learned? How
could the positive experiences be transferred to other localities or circumstances and the pitfalls avoided? How will
China eventually develop and change because of these innovations? Public and nonprofit organizations must face
and address all of these interesting questions.
With this call for papers, we invite submissions that identify, document, analyze, and theorize cases of successful
innovations in public and non-profit sector organizations in China. Manuscripts should discuss the generalizability of
the cases in the context of a broad framework of references, and we welcome papers that explore the implications
of these innovative measures for China’s sustainable development. In our context, public sector organizations refer
to central governmental agencies, state, county, municipal, and township governmental units, and quasigovernmental enterprises. Non-profit organizations include educational and research institutions, professional
associations and societies, foundations, long standing community groups, citizen groups, religious groups, and
international non-governmental organizations. Innovations are changes made either in administrative process, in
service delivery, in institutional reform, or in leadership and organizational culture. Significance, scope, impact, and
sustainability of the innovations should be discussed.
Please prepare the manuscripts following standard MOR submission guidelines, which can be viewed at
www.blackwellpublishing.com/mor. Please submit your papers via MOR’s Manuscript Central site at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mor. Please identify your paper as a submission to this special issue on
Innovations in Public and Nonprofit Sector Organizations in China. Questions about the special issue may be
directed to any of the guest editors, including the lead guest editor, G. Zhiyong Lan (Lan@asu.edu), Joseph
Galaskiewicz (galaskie@email.arizona.edu) and Xianglin Xu (xianglin@pku.edu.cn).
Papers will be double-blind peer reviewed and acceptance decisions will be based on the standards described in
the MOR mission statement.

PNP Focus
Research on public and
nonprofit organizations
such as government
agencies, the military,
social services, cultural
and educational
institutions,
membership and
professional
associations, advocacy
organizations, and
religious and other
charitable organizations
generated, and
continue to shape, a
large share of modern
management thought.
The Public and
Nonprofit Division of the
Academy of
Management brings
together scholars,
managers, and
students who continue
this tradition by
studying the public and
nonprofit sectors, and
the relationships among
public, nonprofit, and
private sector
organizations. The
Division's members
study decision making,
strategy, organizational
behavior and human
resource management,
and political behavior;
collaborations among
public, nonprofit, and
private organizations;
organizational networks
involving public and
nonprofit organizations;
public policy; and the
social and ethical
dimensions of public
and nonprofit activity.
The members pay
special attention to how
distinctive qualities of
the public and nonprofit
sectors influence
management and
organizational
processes.
We would like to hear from you in the Fall and we look forward to seeing you
in Chicago!
We would like to hear
from you prior to our
Fall Newsletter that will
be released shortly
after the academy
meeting.
If your university is
hiring, consider posting
