5th Annual EDINEB International Conference

EDucational INnovation in Economics and Business:
Business Education for the Changing Workplace

September 2 - 5, 1998

MARRIOTT DOWNTOWN AT KEY CENTER
CLEVELAND OHIO
USA

Under the Auspices of the EDINEB Network
------------------------------------------
Today's companies are faced with globalization of business, rapid
technological developments and a new intensity of competition. The
availability of technology is no longer the sole key factor to success.
Strategic resources have shifted from capital to knowledge. Changing images
of work and the workplace require colleges and universities to develop new
capabilities and take a proactive orientation. Desired educational outcomes
move from development of knowledge toward the use of knowledge and from
teaching isolated skills to using skills in business contexts. The changing
workplace necessitates increased reliance on teamwork, creativity and
flexibility, decision making at the work level, continuous learning, and the
extensive use of communication and information technology. Student
preparation to function effectively in the global business community requires
change in organization structure, curricula and instruction. Changes like
those occurring in the workplace, coupled with new revelations about how
adults learn, challenge educators to consider similar shifts in the way
learning processes are structured.

Suggested themes for paper presentations, as well as interactive workshops,
demonstrations, poster sessions, and round-table discussions, are:
* Partnerships between business and education
* Continuous learning, corporate education and business education
* Management development in schools of management and business
* Design and implementation of innovative business school programs:
action learning, experiential learning, problem-based learning
* Development of new learning theories and constructs
* Training students for skills development in areas of
communication, decision making, teamwork, flexibility, creativity
* Learning outside the classroom:
development of powerful learning environments
* Research on instruction and cognitive development
* Platforms for delivery of distance education
* Staff development
* Administrative procedures to promote innovative business
education
* Innovative assessment techniques and assessment center technology
in curriculum design
* Demonstration of value-added components via innovative learning
platforms versus traditional approaches
Papers
Full papers should be available at the conference. Selected papers will be
accepted for publication in the EDINEB series: Educational Innovation in
Economics and Business, Volume 5, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
Subsequent information regarding conference guidelines and publications will
be forthcoming.

Abstracts
Abstracts (500 word maximum) should contain author(s) name(s),
title/position, institution, address, telephone, fax number, and email
address. Abstracts will be published in the official program. No author(s)
name may appear in more than two abstract submissions. Abstract submissions
should be received on or before Monday February 2, 1998. Authors will be

6th Annual EDINEB International Conference

Teaching Today the Knowledge of Tomorrow

June 23 - 26, 1999

The Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration
Bergen, Norway



In the world of today, change is said to be the only constant. Knowledge
travels fast, through a variety of distribution channels, many of which were
unknown only a few years ago. Therefore, knowledge can be a highly perishable
commodity. An important objective of the dissemination of knowledge will
always be to ensure that it arrives fresh after the shortest possible route.
Academic research within the areas of business administration and economics
has often been criticized by the business community, which claims that much
of it is mainly directed at the establishment of researchers themselves, who
reply to and discuss it within the establishment instead of distributing it
to the business community. Students may often wonder whether they are
studying yesterday's knowledge, instead of being continuously updated on
current and relevant research. The proliferation of learning opportunities
(for example Technology Information) today, makes learning for tomorrow even
more complicated. In our global society, success or failure in business
frequently depends on which party has the most current knowledge of the
issues and facts involved.
As universities and corporations attempt to prepare management to be alert to
future changes, improved, and even brand new teaching methodologies are
required. The main focus of the sixth EDINEB conference will be on the
distribution and selection of new knowledge. How can business educators
deliver new knowledge to students and the business community more rapidly
than before? How should we define the core business curriculum when new
knowledge becomes old knowledge?

Suggested topics for paper presentations, as well as interactive workshops,
demonstrations, poster sessions, and round-table discussions, are the
following themes:

- partnerships between business and academic research
- project-based, action-based and problem-based learning
- distance education
- technology supported learning
- on-the-job training programs in business and economics
- entrepreneurship programs in business-school curricula
- selection of business curriculum contents
- postgraduate education

Abstracts

Abstracts (500 word maximum) should contain author(s) name(s),
title/position, institution, address, telephone, fax number, and email
address. Abstracts will be published in the official program. No author's
name may appear in more than two abstract submissions. Abstract submissions
should be received on or before November 20, 1998.
Authors will be notified of status regarding abstracts mid January 1999. Send
abstracts (preferably by email) to:

Email: EDINEB@FACBURFDEW.UNIMAAS.NL

Educating Knowledge Workers for Corporate
Leadership

7th Annual EDINEB International Conference

June 21 - 23, 2000

At Newport Beach Marriott Hotel, Newport Beach,
California, USA
---------------------------

Creative, intellectual capital is generally
considered to be one of the greatest assets of an
organization or business firm. Companies not only
compete on quality, service and timeliness, but
also on knowledge. It is increasingly recognized
that organizations have to be effective at
creating or acquiring new knowledge and
successfully applying that knowledge to their own
activities. These demands place a high premium on
the way work is organized and knowledge workers
are selected and prepared for corporate
leadership.

The business world is asking management schools
to deliver innovative learning systems adapted to
their specific training needs. But business
schools are facing a strain of competitive
educational initiatives offered by corporate
universities and business training centers.
Should they resist, react, or redefine the
academic role for business society?

The 2000 International Conference of EDINEB
offers an exceptional opportunity to collaborate
and network with people from the academic world,
corporate training centers, and consulting firms.
The central focus on the conference theme is
highlighted from different perspectives of
professional training centers, business
organizations, and business schools. EDINEB
designs a variety of session formats to provide
different platforms for learning by participants.

We welcome abstract submissions on any topic
related to the themes below.
* Connecting business education with the needs of
the corporate world
* Innovative learning systems for knowledge
workers in business organizations
* Identification of knowledge and skills needed
by academic graduates, knowledge workers, and
(top)executives
* Selection and coaching of business graduates at
job-entry
* Models of innovative corporate training
* Critical appraisal of the interdependency
between academic institutions, academic theory,
business practice, and business organizations
* New perspectives about producing knowledge and
its role in business organizations
* (Re)design of knowledge management, learning
systems, and training for corporate leadership
* Measurement tools for learning, transfer of
knowledge, and organizational change

Guidelines for Abstracts

Abstracts (500 word maximum) should contain
author(s) name(s), title/position, institution,
address, telephone, fax number, and email
address. Abstracts will be published in the
official program. Abstract submissions should be
received on or before December 15, 1999. Authors
will be notified of status regarding abstracts
end of January 2000. Send abstracts (preferably
by email) to:

Email: EDINEB@FACBURFDEW.UNIMAAS.NL
Fax: ++31 43 3884801


Workshops

Proposals for workshops should include a
description of the activities proposed and the
likely benefits for participants. Please indicate
the preferred duration of your workshop and the
maximum number of participants

Symposia

Symposia will be scheduled for a two-hour period,
to allow a number of speakers and time for
discussion. Symposia are dedicated to a general
theme, allowing different contributors to present
different perspectives. Symposium proposals
should include the names of contributors and
brief abstracts (maximum 500 words) for each of
the contributors.

Paper Presentations

Paper presentations are scheduled for 40 minutes
(including 10 minutes for discussion).

Guidelines for Publication

Full papers should be available at the
conference. A selection of conference papers will
be considered for publication in the EDINEB

And organized by
EDiNEB

December 12 - 13, 2002

Information & Registration

Maastricht University has pioneered, and applied new curriculum and learning
methods since its foundation in 1974. It became famous for its university
broad implementation of Problem-Based Learning. It has been recognized as
one of the leading universities in innovative higher education.
At its 25th anniversary, it was decided that Maastricht University should
encourage further development of Problem-Based Learning and strengthen its
learning concepts. The emergence of new learning technologies, new insights
about learning and instruction, a growing diversity in student population,
and new government policies concerning funding and degree structures, force
universities to reflect and reorient themselves. The present conference
offers an educational adventure to gain insights in new learning
methodologies, to reflect about current PBL methods, and to meet new
challenges in the university's future: New Pathways in University Education.

Conference Themes
This conference is organized around four major themes:
* Targeting new students, selection, and student assessment
* Development and delivery of new programs
* Further development of Problem-Based Learning using new
tools for learning
* Organizational Development supporting educational change
Program

The conference program consists of keynote presentations and workshops by
leaders in educational innovation. It will be dedicated to enabling
learning, exchanging knowledge, and developing new ideas. The core of the
conference is organized around workshops and discussion sessions.
