The Engine behind IACMR's Growth: Spirit of Service
There is a well-known phenomenon in social
psychology called “the over-justification effect” (Deci,
1975),
when someone receives a large amount of external
rewards for something he or she originally enjoys
doing, his or her intrinsic motivation will
decrease. As I start to think about the people who
have contributed their talent, time, effort and
financial resources to the development of IACMR, I
have come up with the “under-justification effect”,
that is, the fewer external justifications one can
find for his/her involvement in IACMR, the higher
level of commitment one develops toward IACMR. I
would like to call this the “the more you serve, the
more you love” phenomenon.
I have been with IACMR since its conception in
2001 and witnessed its remarkable growth in the
past six years: it has evolved from a 66
founding-member to an organization that has over
3000 members. We have held our inaugural
conference in Beijing in 2004 and our second
conference in Nanjing in 2006. We have held a
Research Methods Workshop in Xi’an in 2005, a
Job Search and Career Development Workshop in
Atlanta in 2006, and a Dissertation Proposal
Development Workshop in Guangzhou in 2007. We
also have held our annual business meetings with
influential scholars such as James March, Gordon
Redding, Weiying Zhang, and successful
practitioners such as Chuanzhi Liu (Legend),
Jack Ma (Alibaba.com), and Michael Foley (UPS)
as our guest speakers. Furthermore, the
association’s official journal Management and
Organization Review has published 9 issues,
with beautifully crafted cover pages and high
quality articles that demonstrate rigor and
excellence. Not to mention the Newsletter itself
that has been published 8 issues. What drives
the hugely successful conferences, workshops,
meetings, MOR, and the Newsletter are the
people—our professors, students, and colleagues
in practice —who volunteered their services.
Top on this list are our executive officers,
local arrangement committee members, conference
program committee members, faculty advisors of
workshops, awards committee members, conference
paper reviewers, and our web team. It is
incredible how many days and nights they have
worked for the association, how much enthusiasm
and excitement they have brought into the
association, and how their dedication has
created such a wonderful organization we all
feel proud to be associated with.
The
spirit of service is one of the three core
values of IACMR (the other two are source of
inspiration and commitment to excellence), and
it is a value that creates much positive energy
to society. With the spirit of service, we are
able to face challenges and overcome
difficulties; with the spirit of service, we
live beyond fulfilling our personal needs; with
the spirit of service, we become more committed
to what we believe in: we will make our unique
contribution to the development of knowledge in
business management; and with the spirit of
service, the more we serve IACMR, the more we
love IACMR. I believe that this spirit of
service will keep IACMR grow well into the
future.
And for these reasons, I strongly encourage more
of our members to get involved in the activities
of the association, so that you can experience
the enlightenment of the “under-justification
effect”. As a result, your identification with
IACMR will be stronger, and it will become part
of your personal identity—in accordance with
social identity theory (Tajfel, 1982).
With the preparation for our 2008 conference
under way, many volunteers are working extremely
hard at this moment. It has been a privilege for
me to serve IACMR and work with every one of
you: it is your help and support that make my
job as President easy and enjoyable. Thank you!

IACMR 2008 Conference Caucuses: Call for Proposals
As
we did in the last conference 2006, IACMR continues
to have caucus sessions in the 2008 conference.
Caucuses are roundtable discussions which are
designed to provide a convenient, informal way for
IACMR members who share a topical interest or a
professional concern to find one another and to
develop a sense of community. For example, if you
are working on issues such as entrepreneurship and
new technology ventures in China, you want to know
who else (e.g., either from mainland China, Hong
Kong, U.S., or other countries/regions) are
interested in this topic. You would like to have a
conversation with them and to know: a) who is doing
what, b) what are the commonly interested issues, c)
whether there are any potential opportunities for
collaborations, etc.
(For the submission requirements and other detail
information about the above workshops, please visit
the
IACMR 2008 Conference website.)

MOR
Library subscriptions
The
most recent issue of Management and Organization
Review comes with an attractive library
subscription form for MOR. We encourage you
to recommend MOR to your library as a great
resource for your colleagues and students. MOR
is indexed in most of the online publication
databases, including ABI/Inform in Proquest.
However, users at your university will not be able
to obtain a copy of the actual articles in MOR
unless your library has a subscription to MOR.
Please support your association’s journal as well as
your fellow colleagues and students by filling out
and forwarding this recommendation form to your
university librarian.
Have not received your MOR?
If
you are a current member and have not yet received
your copy of Volume 3, Issue 3 via post, it is
probably because your address is not accurate. Each
time, our membership staff spends many HOURS
updating member addresses. We found many errors in
the addresses because of mistakes made during the
time you register online. We plead for you to
review your address in the online membership
directory (www.iacmr.org)
to ensure that it is accurate. Please follow the
instructions and type in the information as
indicated on the registration page. Please do NOT
type the entire address on one address line. Please
do NOT use both English and Chinese. Please use all
English if you reside outside of mainland China. A
wrong address means a lost issue of MOR. You
don’t get it and the
money is wasted. Please update your address as often
as needed. Thank you for your cooperation. If you
are missing any back issues, please contact the
MOR office at ASU (iacmr.mor@asu.edu)
for those outside of China and IACMR office at PKU (iacmr@pku.edu.cn)
for those residing in mainland China.

We hope you like the cover images on the journal

one or two) are creations of our members. We thank
our members for their contribution. Please continue
to think of MOR as an outlet for your artistic work
by sending photographs or painting in a

China presents a unique environment for
organizations. The unprecedented growth of
China's economy offers significant potential for
both Chinese and foreign investors, and
increased levels of competition in the wake of
China’s entry into the WTO have resulted in
experimentation and risk-taking as ways of doing
business in China. The Journal of Chinese
Entrepreneurship will be the first journal to
focus solely on qualitative and quantitative
research in all areas of China business,
entrepreneurship, innovation and entrepreneurial
marketing, and governmental and industrial
policies that inhibit or stimulate
entrepreneurship and innovation. (http://www.emeraldinsight.com

Journal of Knowledge-based
Innovation in China (ISSN:
1756-1418)
Developing national
innovation capacities in a knowledge-based
economy has become an increasingly important
issue in advanced industrial and developing
societies alike. China, where a stable and high
growth rate has been attained in recent years,
represents a unique setting for innovation
theorists and economists as well as business
practitioners. The Journal of Knowledge-based
Innovation in China will publish critical
analysis of all forms of knowledge-based
innovation in China, highlighting the
implications for policy and practice at
international, national and regional levels.

The University-Community Partnership for Social
Action Research network (UCP-SARnet)
will officially be launched in January 2008. We
invite your participation either as a partner
organization or as an individual member. The
mission of the UCP-SARnet project is to
encourage the involvement of faculty and
students in their respective communities,
promote participatory social action research,
and endorse community leadership that is mindful
of cultural diversity and welcoming to the
opportunity that this diversity brings. Our
collective goal is to create an international
online community, which is open to researchers,
instructors, students and community leaders who
are interested in the influence of cultural
context on the organization of community
programs and the resulting impact. Please visit
the UCP-SARnet web application (http://ucpsarnet.asu.edu).
