Paul Govekar has been promoted to Associate Professor and has a new book coming out!  Here is more information regarding the book:   Differentiating Among Volunteers, Donors, and Donor/Volunteers, a new book by Dr. Paul L. Govekar of the James F. Dicke College of Business Administration at Ohio Northern University, explores why some people only contribute money to nonprofit organizations, while others only contribute time, and yet a third group, identified as “helpers” in this study, contributes both money and time. The study creates a model which posits that volunteer and donor behavior are a function of personality (self-esteem and empathy), values and facilitation (an organizational component). The study found that the values and facilitation components of the model were significant, but that the personality component was not. The major implication of the study is that nonprofit managers and researchers must Page 7 of 10   Public Non-Profit: Serving Public Benefit   deal with three classes of contributors (volunteers, donors, and “helpers”), and that there are significant differences among these three classes.   The book is available through Amazon.com.   Congratulations Paul!

Call for Papers

 

A Special Theme Issue of the journal, Coastal Management: “Making the Connection: Translating Science into Effective Coastal Policy”  

 

The Coastal Society’s TCS 22 Conference (June 13-16, 2010) in Wilmington, North Carolina, will explore the issues involved in translating scientific knowledge and perspectives into effective coastal management policies and practices in its Closing Plenary session.

 

To more fully develop this theme, The Coastal Society invites submission of full-length manuscripts for publication in a special, theme issue of the journal, Coastal Management, a peer-reviewed international journal devoted to exploring all aspects of coastal management. Papers addressing all aspects of the application of scientific knowledge and perspectives to coastal management policy and practice at local, regional, national, and/or international scales are welcome. All submissions will go through standard double blind peer review.  The theme issue is scheduled to be published in early 2011 and is likely to receive special publicity coverage by Taylor and Francis, which should help raise the profile of theme issue papers.  Submissions should follow the format specified by Coastal Management in “Instructions to Authors” (http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/08920753.html).   Questions and submissions may be directed to theme issue Guest Editors:   Lawrence Cahoon, Professor of Biology and Marine Biology, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403 (Cahoon@uncw.edu), and   Christopher Dumas, Professor of Economics, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403 (DumasC@uncw.edu).   Please notify one of the guest editors of your intent to submit.

Fourth Annual Teaching Case and Simulation Competition  

Collaborative Public Management, Networks and Public Management, Collaborative Governance, and Collaborative Problem Solving  

 

Competition funding: $5,000 prize for best teaching case, $5,000 for best teaching simulation, and up to ten additional $1,000 honorable mention prizes   Public managers who work in networks often find themselves not solely as unitary leaders of unitary organizations.  Instead, they often find themselves collaborating in multiorganizational networked arrangements and with the public to solve problems that cannot be solved, or solved easily, by single organizations. Collaborative public management, networks and public management, collaborative governance, and collaborative problem solving have become essential topics in most public management and public policy programs.  But collaboration is not simply a body of substantive knowledge; it is also a set of skills. We believe that one of the best ways to prepare students to operate in networks is through the use of case studies, simulations and negotiation exercises.   To further stimulate the creation of effective and innovative teaching cases and simulations in this area, the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC) at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University is sponsoring its fourth annual competition.  

 

The competition seeks to encourage the development of new cases and new simulations to be used in teaching collaborative public management, collaborative governance and/or collaborative problem solving.  The competition has been funded to award one $5,000 prize for best teaching case, one $5,000 prize for best teaching simulation, and up to ten $1,000 honorable mention prizes.    Case studies should be approximately 15-25 type-written pages (double-spaced).  Simulations should include a minimum of 6 players.  All entries must include a teaching note.     Selection of the winners will be made by a committee of scholars and practitioners.   All cases and simulations must be original and not yet published elsewhere.   

 

Winning cases and simulations are published online and downloadable free of charge at E-PARC:  www.maxwell.syr.edu/parc/eparc .   Most cases and simulations are published in three languages:  English, Spanish, and Chinese.  Full credit is given to authors.   E-PARC is a project of the Maxwell School’s “Collaborative Governance Initiative” launched in 2007.  E-PARC provides free on-line resources for those who teach collaborative public management, networks and public management, collaborative governance, and collaborative problem solving around the world.  We receive an average of 10,000 “hits” per month from 40 different countries.      

 

To enter: Submit original teaching case studies and teaching simulations no later than January 15, 2011.  Finalists will be notified around February 28, 2011.   All entries should be submitted electronically to PARCC@maxwell.syr.edu.   Questions should be directed to: Rosemary O’Leary, Distinguished Professor The Maxwell School of Syracuse University roleary@maxwell.syr.edu   View current and past winners at: www.maxwell.syr.edu/parc/eparc

Management Education for Integrity

 

Charles Wankel, St. John’s University, New York, and Agata Stachowicz-Stanusch, Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Editors In the wake of ongoing corporate scandals, society expects that, on one hand, business educators will contribute to solving business ethical problems by preparing a cohort of students who will raise the ethical standards of the business world (Kurpis et al., 2008). On the other hand, society expects management educators to continuously improve management education’s development of integrity in its learners. We invite proposals for chapters on how management educators can better equip students to robustly confront moral and ethical dilemmas with requisite knowledge, sensitivity, and conviction.  Proposals may address any approach to better align teaching with the need to foster the development of managers with integrity.  Topics of interest include but are not limited to: the role of Positive Organization Scholarship in management education for integrity; the development, implementation, and use of codes of ethics and conduct; integrity as a core value in organizations; the development of business school programs, policies, procedures, and agendas as paradigms of ethical practice; the development of moral character in business students; development of curricula to support ethical orientations in learners; sensitizing learners to the gamut of ethical and unethical organizational cultures so they understand possibilities; honor codes; spirituality in management education; using case studies and examples of piratical approaches to conducting business as forums for learning how to act when one finds himself/herself in a job in an unscrupulous organization; the factors and dimensions of ethical competency in managers; the implications of national cultural differences in management education for integrity; best practices in management education for integrity; social media as tools for fostering integrity in management students; e-learning in support of business ethics; the use of immersive 3D virtual world contexts for developing integrity and business students. PUBLICATION SCHEDULE: Book chapter proposals received: September 15, 2010 Notification of accepted chapter proposals:  October 15, 2010 Receipt of full book chapters: February 1, 2011 Chapter authors receive reviews with feedback:  March 1, 2011 Final revisions due:  April 15, 2011 Submit a one-page or so chapter proposal.  Also, include for each of the coauthors a brief biography including terminal degree, current institutional affiliation and position, and a listing of any related publications. For each coauthor include contact information, so we can readily contact you such as: email address, mobile phone, work phone, home phone, and Skype (if you do not mind us contacting you through these). Send proposals and inquiries to both: Charles Wankel wankelc@verizon.net and Agata Stachowicz-Stanusch  agata.stachowicz@polsl.pl
