The Handbook of Research on Electronic Collaboration and Organizational
Synergy (http://www.vision2lead.com/html/esynergy.html) will examine
structure, organization, technology tools and leadership practices that
characterize successful collaboration in and across the fields of education,
public and social sectors. See the call for chapters
(http://www.vision2lead.com/Call.pdf) or contact us at
synergy@vision2lead.com. We are reviewing proposals as they are submitted.
The first call for chapters formally closed April 30, 2007. We have been
extremely pleased with both the quantity and quality of the submissions.
Please see the list of invited authors and chapter topics:
http://www.vision2lead.com/html/esynergy2.html.
At this time we are requesting additional proposals targeting specified
areas in order to ensure a comprehensive and balanced view of collaboration
in education, business, social sector organizations and government. We are
particularly interested in contributions that consider electronic
collaboration within a governmental or social sector organization, including
non-profit or Non-Governmental Organizations. Topics could include
collaborative efforts of teams or cross-functional groups, or collaborative
efforts between international/national organizations and their local
affiliates. We are also interested in interdisciplinary collaboration within
educational institutions or instructional practices within the classroom.
If your proposal falls outside of the listed categories but within the scope
of the original call for chapters and you wish to submit for consideration,
we still welcome your proposal as a competitive entry in categories with a
significant number of submissions.
Editors Janet Salmons, Ph.D. and Lynn Wilson, Ph.D. will draw on their
respective scholarly and practical experience with inter-organizational and
intra-organizational collaborations in the fields covered in the handbook.
Information Science Reference, (an imprint of IGI Publishing), has
tentatively scheduled publication of print and electronic editions of the
book in 2008.
