As the host site coordinator for the Eastern Academy of Management, I am
posting this paper call for VP-Program Judi Neal of the Academy. Deadline is
November 30, 2001. It's a great conference to drive to from anywhere in the
northeast at a time when driving sometimes seems more appealing than flying!
CALL FOR PAPERS: EASTERN ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT
Submission Deadline: November 30, 2001
Meeting Dates: May 1-4, 2002
The Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale, New Haven, CT
Theme: CREATING ENLIGHTENED ORGANIZATIONS
Conference Website:
http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/eam.
Dear Colleagues,
I encourage and welcome your submissions of research and conceptual papers,
symposia,
professional development workshops, practitioner sessions, and new research
ideas
(works-in-progress). We are planning a highly interactive, innovative
conference this coming year
in New Haven with a focus on presentation formats that support greater
dialogue, synergy, and
learning (thanks Joan Weiner!). We will also be taking the time to look at
how we can build a
stronger year-round Learning Community that supports each of us in our
professional
development (thanks Joel Harmon!).
Papers and session proposals should be emailed to each of the Stream Leaders
(i.e., Track
Chairs). The Streams and contact information are listed on the EAM website
at
http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/eam. Please also visit the website to learn more
about the various
types of presentation formats we will be using. Make sure to familiarize
yourself with the Open
Space Technology information on the website, since Open Space will be an
important element of
this conference. Our conference theme is �Creating Enlightened
Organizations,� and we are
working hard to create an �Enlightened Conference� that will be very
meaningful and rewarding
to you personally and professionally.
Papers will go through the normal peer review process, and if accepted, will
go into the EAM
Proceedings. This will be true regardless of the presentation format at the
conference.
The submission deadline is November 30, 2001. All submissions will be made
electronically to the
Stream Leader. Please send your submission as an attached MS Word document.
All Stream Leaders are looking for reviewers. This is a great way to get
involved in EAM and to
support your own and others� scholarly development. Please contact the
Stream Leader in your
area of interest and volunteer to be a reviewer. We need your help.
New Haven is very easy to get to and has a great downtown with wonderful
restaurants, theaters,
museums and shops, and our Local Arrangements Committee is planning some
delightful events.
We look forward to your submission and to having you join us at the Eastern
Academy of
Management conference in May!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at

Sincerely,
Judi Neal
Vice-President, Program
Eastern Academy of Management
