2010 International Management Professional Development Workshops Call for Submissions
(Professional Development Chair: John Mezias, IMPDW2010@gmail.com)
The International Management Division (IM) Professional Development Workshops (PDW) develop, enhance, and create professional and personal skills associated with international scholarship, research, and teaching. With this in mind, we seek innovative, provocative, and exciting proposals that bring together an international community of scholars interested in enhancing international research, teaching, and management. We encourage proposals that reflect the conference theme of "Dare to Care" by helping to build relationships and communities that generate passion and compassion in international management scholarship and teaching. We are particularly interested in PDWs that facilitate discussion on the relevance of our scholarship and international business practices in light of current global issues and our increasing interconnectedness. Overall, PDWs should improve understanding of IM practice and help us become more mindful members of the IM community.
PDW formats are highly flexible and can take the shape of workshops, panels, round table discussions, simulations, et cetera. As such, PDWs provide an opportunity to experiment with what is typically beyond the scope of regular paper sessions. Thus, we seek creative and interactive proposals that involve not just other academy divisions, but also not-for-profit organizations, consultancies, NGOs, and public sector organizations. The conference location, Montreal, is a great multilingual and multicultural city. We encourage submitters to leverage this location with creative integration of the local 'flavor' and the abundance of diverse local resources. Along with doctoral and junior faculty consortia, we also offer a paper development workshop and off-site events.
Submissions: If interested in organizing or being involved in a PDW in any way, please contact John Mezias at IMPDW2010@gmail.com for more information or guidance on writing proposals. Submit final proposals via AoM's system (http://submissions.aomonline.org/2010). This system is open and the submission deadline is Jan. 14, 2010 (5:00 p.m. EST). We strongly encourage early submissions so we can work with you to create exciting and interactive workshops. To learn more about the IM Division, visit our website at http://divisions.aomonline.org/im.
Rule of 3: Please note there is a PDW 'Rule of 3' and a regular session 'Rule of 3'. So you can be associated with up to 3 PDWs and 3 regular session submissions.
I look forward to working with you!
Best regards,
John Mezias
