[Limdep Nlogit List] 2007 AoM/IAoM October San Antonio Conference Call

[AoM/IAoM]

A
Colleagues:

The Association of Management (AoM) and its global sister organization, the 
International Association of Management (IAoM), known collectively as the 
AoM/IAoM, cordially invites the participation of academicians and 
practitioners for its 24th annual conference to be held in San Antonio, TX, 
October 3-7, 2007. This year the AoM/IAoM is promoting MELT (Management, 
Education, Leadership, Technology) as the organizing framework for the 
conference to provide a bridge between the world of theory and the world of 
practice and stimulate the interactive discourse between academicians and 
practitioners.

MELT is based on the premise that management, education, leadership, and 
technology are on the cusp of a paradigm shift as industrial era management 
and leadership theories and educational models are becoming dysfunctional 
at a time when command-and-control systems in organizations are being 
replaced by team-based systems and networks of knowledge workers, distance 
education is playing an increasingly important role in institutions of 
higher learning, leadership is no longer the prerogative of the omnipotent 
executive at the apex of the organization and technology continues to 
progress at a relentless rate. MELT acknowledges the interdependencies of 
its constituent domains and serves as the platform to promote interactions 
and multidisciplinary discourse among academicians and practitioners 
challenged by this paradigm.

You are invited to submit your work in a variety of available formats 
ranging from traditional academic research papers to innovative 
practitioner boardroom solutions. The complete academic and corporate calls 
for submissions and participation are located at www.aom-iam.org.

Professionally yours,


Willem A. Hamel, PhD
