    Dear Colleagues,

    If you are planning to attend the Academy of Management Conference (3-8
    August 2001) in Washington DC, you might like to note the exciting programme
    of the MED Division.

    We are delighted to bring you a rich PDW program chaired by Regina Bento
    featuring several practical and international oriented sessions reflecting
    current trends in management education.

    For the main program we would like to draw your attention to our two THEMED
    SESSIONS and several SYMPOSIA and PAPER SESSIONS all of which address this
    year's conference theme examining how within management education and
    development, government as a form of administration, as an act of domination
    (governance) and as a system of principles (governing values), is conceived
    of and the role it pays in relation to learning and development. Our effort
    is to foster genuine debate and reflection on the changing face of
    management education.

    We hope that you will be able to join us in our various sessions and in our
    Reception and Social Hour on Tuesday, August 7th from 7:30-9:30pm at the
    Hilton Towers Hotel, Lincoln Ballroom where we will be hosting a Celebration
    of Knowledge Exchange.
