The Academy's deadline for submission is January 5th. You can make the
deadline by putting together a symposium (panel) submission on a Management
Education or Management Development theme still. You are teaching
innovatively. You have the data! You should share. Do it! Call the
people you know who know about this innovative
approach/technology/curriculum and the team of you can certainly storm it
out for January 5th submission. I have confidence in you. (This is what
coffee is for of course!). Think of how pleased the dean will be! Think of
your spouse/personfriend's reaction when you tell them that you're taking
them to Washington! Oh, time's running out! Quick, get going!
CALL: ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON, DC, AUGUST 3-8, 2001
The deadline for submitting papers--January 5, 2001--is fast approaching.
Papers and panel discussions (symposia) related to management education
and/or management development in any of its aspects are invited. What are
its aspects? Well:
Assessments of technological innovations in MED such as those based in
Internet technologies and other new media, creating virtual learning
communities, advances in simulations and virtual reality applications,
intelligent tutoring, distance MED, knowledge management and MED, use of MED
in increasing the human capital of organizations, global differences and
trends in MED from a comparative perspective, comparative studies of MED
across industries, the social psychological context of MED, cognitive issues
in MED, service learning, corporate universities, strategic approaches to
management development, emerging visions of management education, approaches
to structuring MED, issues in managing MED, support functions in MED, issues
in the deployment of MED, MED change management, MED alliances and networks,
ethical dimensions of MED, corporate cultures and MED, integrating
consulting into MED, new approaches to internships and field experiences,
faculty externships, assessment and accreditation of management education,
comparative studies of MED curriculum development, film and fiction as MED
media, and critical approaches to MED.
Though certainly not a limitation on what you submit, each Academy meeting
has a theme that people are particularly invited to craft papers/panels on.
The 2001 theme will be "How Government Matter's" (after all the meeting IS
in Washington, DC). The AOM Management Education and Development Division
is particularly looking for (and adding points to making acceptance easier
for!) papers/panels related to how governmental regulation and support
directly affect management educators. Also, how government regulations and
activities can be integrated into management curricula is a topic that is
sought. How management education differs internationally is also such a
related topic. Governmentally supported (not supported?) technologies for
management education is another related area. The Academy explains this
theme more at:
