International Journal of Public Sector Performance Management

ICACTM - 2019: Special Issue on: "The Shifting Goalposts - Disruption in Automation,
Computational and Technology Management"

Guest Editors:
Prof. Gurinder Singh, Prof. Sanjeev Bansal and Prof. Anupama Rajesh, Amity University, India

The fading of barriers between nations and their increasing interconnectedness, accelerated by technology, has
led to a change in the world order that has had a profound impact on global business. The emergence of nations
such as India and China has ended the era of unquestioned dominance by Western countries or any one
particular region, paving the way for a level business arena in which developments in one part of the other are
certain to have a spiralling impact. There is thus a need to study the implications and rising expectations from
business and society, to present the ongoing research in different fields and hence to foster research relations
between universities and industry, thus giving participants a review of the latest and upcoming trends for the
next few years. This special issue will therefore emphasise the need for more development and research for
innovation and present scholars with new ideas and application experiences.

This special issue welcomes qualitative as well as quantitative and mixed methodologies, as long as they are
well grounded in the literature. Please refer to the following articles:
• Dana, L.P. & Dumez, H. (2015) 'Qualitative Research Revisited: Epistemology of a Comprehensive
Approach,' International Journal of Entrepreneurship & Small Business 26 (2), October 2015, pp. 154-
170.
• Dana, L.P. & Dana, T.E. (2005) 'Expanding the Scope of Methodologies Used in Entrepreneurship
