I understand some people have had difficulties in submitting their Academy
of Management Chicago meeting paper electronically on the AOM Pace Web page
http://www.aom.pace.edu/ . Indeed, the Academy web has been having some
technical difficulties, and webmasters Alan Eisner and Damon Hurd have set
up help procedures in the memo below. If the answers to Frequently Asked
Questions do not solve your problem, please e-mail your technical question
or problem to <
webmaster@aom.pace.edu> . If you have a nontechnical
question about your submission, please contact the program chair of the
division to which you are submitting your paper. The name, address, and
phone number of your selected division program chair is listed in the
meeting's Call for Papers
http://www.aom.pace.edu/meetings/1999/c99callH.htm
.
I hope this will solve any problem you might be having. Please let the main
Academy Program Chair Andy Van de Ven <
avandeve@csom.umn.edu> know if you
get stuck. I know the members of the Academy of Management community
appreciate your preparation of a proposal for the Chicago '99 Academy of
Management Conference. Your patience and understanding of our technical
limitations are much appreciated. Indeed, Andy Van de Ven guarantees "a gold
star in heaven for it!"
