Call for Professional Development Workshop (PDW's) Proposals
Management Education and Development Division of the Academy of
Management (Seattle, 1 - 6 August, 2003).
Full details of the Academy of Management Meeting in Seattle in August
2003 can be found at

Management Education and Development Division PDW's
In our 2003 pre-conference PDW program for the Management Education and
Development Division (MED) we are looking for innovative and challenging
workshops that address contemporary issues in management learning,
education and development. Proposals that address the major theme of
the meeting (democracy in a knowledge economy) are encouraged but are
not essential. Proposals that explore links between theory and
practice, that address international perspectives, and that encourage
practitioner & academic collaborations are particularly welcome.
Sessions typically run from 1 to 2 hours, but can extend to 2 full days.
PDW space is limited, however, and proposals that are co-sponsored by
one or two other divisions or interest groups are encouraged because we
can then share room allocations. Our PDW format is very flexible and we
strongly encourage creative and innovative approaches. Sessions can
take the form of conventional workshops, work-out sessions, debates,
case study reviews, games, storytelling, conversations, town-hall type
meetings etc. etc.
Practice-Grounded project proposals.
You are also invited to submit brief proposals for working projects
(start-ups or ongoing) that you would like to develop in a two-day
hands-on workshop with the help of world-class academic and
practice-based experts. At least one person involved in carrying out
your project needs to attend and be open to action-research/learning
approaches. Proposals or enquiries may be initiated with an exploratory
telephone call or email to "both" the MED PDW Chair and to Dan Twomey,
Dtwomey@fdu.edu, 973-443-8802, fax 973-443-8506. You can visit
www.chrms.org for examples of previous practitioner series project
proposals).
