A Special Issue on Extended Enterprises in Changing Business

Environments

Production Planning and Control is inviting papers for a specialissue on ‘Extended Enterprises in Changing Business

Environments’. The aim of this special issue is to investigate

the critical issues and roles of a new paradigm – extendedenterprise in changing business environments. Theory building

and empirical study papers that have strong relevance to

the practical world are welcomed, as well as case studies andpapers with best practice experiences.

Today, practitioners of production and operations are

challenged to solve complex problems with solutions that

need to simultaneously satisfy a set of social, political andeconomic objectives. They need to address their evolving

business landscape in formulating, designing and implement-

ing competitive solutions in order to add value to theirbusiness. There has been a wide criticism about current

operations management research, which is often based on

artificial laboratory settings with conditions of operationsand assumptions that are too simplified for the findings to

be applied in the real world. A new paradigm of research is

necessary to align the decisions of operations manager to

the changing business environment. In short, operationsmanagers demand a broader scope of research that could

help them propel business growth.

One emerging area in this aspect is the organisationalconcept of extended enterprise. Operations managers must

understand their role in relation to the development of extended

enterprise. Studies on extended enterprise are still at an earlystage. Practical cases are necessary to develop in-depth under-

standing for this topic of study. Studies in extended enterprise

have been related to a number of associated topics that

managers must consider in relation to their own productionand operations context.

The following topics are encouraged but are not limited to:Track 1: Business Model Development

(a) Enterprise Performance Management e.g. Key Perfor-mance Indicators (KPI) applications, Performancemonitoring system

(b) Knowledge Management and Exchange e.g. Customerrelationship management, Data-mining and profiling

Track 2: Best Practices Assimilation

(a) Networked organization e.g. Virtual teamwork, Man-agement of brands

(b) Industry network theory articulation e.g. Businessclusters development, Paradigm shifts

Track 3: Inter-firm value creating activities

(b) Business intelligence e.g. Collaborative productcommerce

technology transfer

Track 5: Information Strategy
