"Shared Services as a New Organizational Form"
Call for Chapters, Advanced Series in Management
Tanya Bondarouk (University of Twente, The Netherlands; t.bondarouk@utwente.nl)
Deadline for submission of full chapters: December 30, 2013
Recently, organizations have been increasingly establishing Shared Services Models within different business functions and processes. The popularity of Shared Services Models originates in a combination of efficiency gains and an increase in service quality, without giving up control of the organizational and technical arrangements.
This ASM volume intends to identify trends and differences in the organization and governance of shared services, to move beyond debating issues of relevance and value of shared services towards more systematic research action and recommendations for future establishments. Five main theoretical priorities shape the content of the volume: conceptualizing the structure of shared services for different types of business processes, strategy and shared services, shared services and performance, pluralism in organizing shared services, and governance of shared services in different types of organizations.
Chapters are expected to have between 4000 and 5000 words (excluding references, figures, and tables).
Scholars whose work is likely to fit this call for chapters are invited to contact the editor via email to discuss their ideas and in preliminary form assess whether their contribution would be included.
