All .... Well the program is complete (or as complete as it will ever get).
A summary of the IM Division's sessions and award nominees is given below.
I have excluded some additional information that shows the program
graphically. This is available in the IMD Newletter that will be available
shortly on Charles newly revamped and cool website:
http://division.aomonline.org/im/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=2
Please note that a few of our normal events have been changed around a
little bit this year. Overall, there is more to do at the program in
Atlanta due to stable submissions on our part and additional time allocated
to our division because of our proportionately higher submissions.
I look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.
Tim
A Head’s Up on the 2006 IM Division Program
We had a fine set of submissions this year. In total, we received 319
paper and 23 symposium submissions. This is in line with last year’s
totals and reflects well on the division and its membership as the total
number of submissions in many divisions is down from last year’s record.
The result is that we accounted for a greater percentage of the total
submissions and were allocated more time in the program. This allowed us
to accept a greater percentage of papers. My personal thanks goes out to
the 498 reviewers who were exemplary in their response to the demanding
task of turning around their reviews expeditiously and with quality.
Below I outline a few of the highlights of the program. As this is not
everything please remember to examine the program carefully.
A Few Things You Need to Know about the Program
Nearly all the IM Division’s activities this year will be located at the
Marriott Marquis. The major exception to this is the Interactive Paper
sessions, which will be located in the Hyatt Regency. Unlike prior year’s
the visual (poster) sessions will be co-located with the paper sessions and
will be in the Marriott
As always we invite all the members of the division (and friends) to all
the usual events:
The IM Division Welcome (Session 415) will be held Monday morning from
7:30am – 8:20am in Madrid.
The IM Division Business Meeting and Awards Ceremony will be held on
Monday afternoon from 5:30pm–7:00pm in Copenhagen (Note that is a change
from our routine of having it on the second day of the program).
The IM Division Social will follow the Business Meeting on Monday evening
at 7:00pm in Imperial Salon A. (Note that is a change from our routine of
having it on the second day of the program).
The IM Division Membership Program Feedback Meeting (Session 1363) will be
held on Wednesday morning from 7:30am–8:20am in Madrid. This is your
opportunity to provide feedback on the program to the members of the EC.
Program Structure
Paper Sessions: In designing the program we structured the paper sessions
around a number of specific themes and tried to block the sessions so that
people could remain in a single room if they chose to focus on related
papers. These were, very generally: (1) Institutions & Politics (mainly in
Amsterdam), (2) Knowledge, Learning and Innovation (mainly in Copenhagen),
(3) International Business Functions (mainly in Madrid), (4) International
HRM (mainly in Stockholm and Copenhagen), (5) International OB (mainly in
Stockholm), and (6) International Location and Mode Choice (mainly in
Trinidad). As always conflicts make have an exact alignment between
papers, sessions and locations difficult. A table is available in the
newsletter.
Visual Sessions: Our visual sessions used the same theme breakdown. This
year there are 7 visual sessions. These are outlined in tabular form in
the newsletter These are all co-located in the Marriott in Salon IV.
Special Sessions
We have three special sessions:
Management Involvement Committee: Roundtable on International Activities,
is an interactive forum for international members of the IM Division to
learn more about the activities of the MIC and to be involved in
discussions about its future agenda. It will be held from 12:20pm–2:10pm
in Copenhagen (Session 665).
