Call for Papers:

Rethinking Cross-Sector Social Innovation

The aim of the conference is to reignite scholarly interest in the phenomenon of cross-sector work and build knowledge to inform decision making and policy.

Areas of inquiry may include:



  *   Enabling conditions for cross-sector work

  *   Processes and structures underlying cross-sector work

  *   Development of novel organizational forms to address social problems that transcend sectors

  *   Performance and impact of cross-sector work

  *   Role of policy making and struggles of implementing reforms at state and global-level

  *   Other elements of cross-sector social innovation, more

generally

We encourage methodological and theoretical diversity, including quantitative and qualitative studies, as well as studies that take a multi-level approach connecting organizational processes with the broader institutional environment.
