Workshop Announcement and Call for Papers
Managing Change in Dynamic Environments
February 26 – 28, 2007
University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB), Cape Town, South Africa
About the workshop:
Over the last 15 years change and the management of change have been ubiquitous topics particularly in the emerging economic regions in Africa, Asia and Central and Eastern Europe. The workshop aims at a consolidation of knowledge acquired by managing practioners and researchers on change and effective change management in dynamic environments such as emerging economies. We wish to bring together change experts from different regions and fields of interest to discuss the interdependencies of internal and external change, to compare organizational change strategies in various environments and to investigate efficient tools and models of change management in an intensive 3-day workshop.
Topics of interests include:
- empirical studies on organizational change strategies in emerging and developed economies
- transferability of change models and practices across countries/contexts
- interdependencies between internal and external dynamics in organizational change
- etc.
