Call for Papers
International Journal of Six Sigma and Competitive Advantage (IJSSCA)
 
Special Issue
Issues and Influences of Six Sigma in Emerging Markets
  
With sluggish growth in the developed markets of the world, companies are 
turning to newly emerging markets for business expansion. In view of the 
large customer base and huge potential markets in the emerging economies, 
organisations searching for growth are increasingly realising that they 
must produce in and cater to the emerging markets. The phrase ‘emerging 
markets’ is commonly associated with business and market activities in 
industrialising or emerging regions of the world. Six Sigma is 
increasingly becoming universally recognised as the 21st century panacea 
for organisational ills. The literature on Six Sigma is indeed growing in 
leaps and bounds. However, much of these literatures have been derived 
from experiences and research in the industrialised world. Managing 
business processes in developing countries requires a set of complexities 
less common in the developed world. 
 
Issues regarding Six Sigma in emergent markets are at best at the 
exploratory stage, as they require new knowledge or departures from 
existing skills. This call for papers seeks to highlight issues and 
practices surrounding Six Sigma in emerging countries. The primary 
criteria for consideration is that articles based on research and 
application, theoretical and empirical from emerging markets, that can 
help shed light on this Six Sigma phenomenon will be short listed. Papers 
that are conceptual or empirical, and case-study-based or industry-wide-
based are welcomed. Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited 
to: 
 
Six Sigma for Manufacturing Processes. 
Six Sigma for Service Processes. 
Six Sigma for Transactional Processes.
Six Sigma for SMEs. 
Six Sigma in Supply Chain. 
Six Sigma in Software/IT. 
Six Sigma and its link to other Quality Initiatives. 
Design for Six Sigma. 
Lean Six Sigma. 
 
The purpose of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for the 
participants of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Management of 
Innovation and Technology (http://www.icmit.net/) to be held in Singapore 
in June 2006 to publish their papers that address the spirit of this call 
for papers in IJSSCA. However, people who are working in similar areas and 
not participating in the conference but wish to contribute to this call 
for papers are also encouraged to submit their papers for consideration. 
 
This call for papers invites the submission of original manuscripts. 
Authors should not submit papers previously published, or under 
consideration for publication elsewhere. This call for papers employs a 
double blind peer review process. Articles for this call are expected to 
be “academic” in terms of rigour, but “managerial” in terms of readability 
and content. Papers are invited from both research and practice. 
Prospective authors should send as an e-mail attachment their articles to 
Chris Seow, [log in to unmask] by 13 August 2006. Full papers should be 5000-
7000 words in length although shorter papers, particularly from 
practitioner authors, will be considered. Preliminary notification of 
acceptance will be by 13 October 2006. The deadline for the submission of 
the final manuscript is 30 November 2006. This call for papers adheres to 
the author guidelines as stipulated in the International Journal of Six 
Sigma and Competitive Advantage, where the special issue will be 
published.
