Publishing - Currently three journals have proposed special issues that would fit the research themes of this proposal. Members of the study group will make a joint report that will go to Nike Corporation and will be publicly available on the web. Beyond that committee members will develop their own research reports while citing the relevant participation of subgroup members. Authorship issues depend upon contribution and needs to be worked out by each subgroup. We encourage members to propose sessions to their respective associations and to publish empirical findings in academic journals.
Three journals are collaborating on the topic (we invite other journals to participate):
The Social Audit of the new Global Enterprise.
This is a Joint Issue of Critical Perspectives On Accounting (Tony Tinker, Editor TonyTinker@email.msn.com ), TAMARA, Journal of Critical Postmodern Organization Science (David Boje, Editor), and Journal of Organizational Change Management (David Boje, Editor dboje@nmsu.edu ).
The purpose of the joint issue is to critique and evaluate "Methodologies Measuring Social Audits." The issue will look at studies of corporate codes of conduct, particularly those of the global enterprise. We also invite studies of the Articles related to change and change management will be published in JOCM. Articles related to the Accounting practices of Price Waterhouse Coopers and Nike will be published in Critical Perspectives on Accounting. Articles related to critical and postmodern theory critiques of the global enterprise will be published in TAMARA. At this point the proposal is to publish different articles in the three journal issues, but coordinate the editorials and the review process between Tony Tinker and David Boje.
Critical Perspectives on Accounting is at http://www.idealibrary.com
TAMARA is at http://www.zianet.com/boje/tamara/pages/main.html
JOCM is at http://business.nmsu.edu/~dboje/jocm.html
See www.Asia-Pacific.com for Journals page (on which JOCM and other journals are listed). Our aim is to encourage academic research and publication on the questions we have raised.

This issue will focus on the
All-Academy Session of the Academy of Management annual conference
held in Toronto on August 9, 2000. The purpose of this special issue
is to continue the dialog that began between Nike corporation and the
panel. Specifically, in this issue we will publish a set of papers by
various academics (presenters from the session as well as additional
papers) and invite Nike, Inc. to include responses to each of the
papers in the special issue. See rest of call for papers at http://business.nmsu.edu/mgt/jpub/jocm/calls/nike/index.html
Guest Editors: Nancy E. Landrum, Morehead State University
David M. Boje, New Mexico State University
We will list other publication opportunities as they become available.
I would like to thank Amanda Tucker and Nike Corporation for affording the opportunity to present this proposal. I would also like to thank the study group volunteers and the International Academy of Business Disciplines for their sponsorship of the proposal and the other associations listed who we are encouraging to become involved in various ways. I would like to thank the Academy of Management for encouraging us to submit session and workshop proposals. The more we can meet and talk face to face the better our process will become.
Thank you,
David M. Boje
NOTE: The proposal will need to contain a specific set of factories to be visited, number of people to be interviewed, etc. I will work out these details in collaboration with those who want to become involved in the subgroups. This proposal is the sole work of the author (with study group input) and is not endorsed by any journal, university, association or any other institution. I am grateful for all input.
