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.
The first call for chapters for The Handbook of Research on Electronic Collaboration and Organizational Synergy (http://www.vision2lead.com/html/esynergy.html) 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.
Now 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 single business, governmental or social sector organization; interdisciplinary collaboration within educational institutions or instructional practices within the classroom; collaboration across private sector or business organizations; cross-cultural skills development; and issues inherent in a digitally connected global society. 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.
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.
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.
