We are pleased to announce the opening of the Call for Abstracts for the 17th Annual Irish Academy of Management Conference which we will host here at the University of Limerick, Ireland, from September 3rd to 5th, 2014.
Abstracts of up to 500 words for Papers and Posters are now invited via the conference website at www.iamireland.ie until March 31, 2014.
We welcome abstracts for the following streams: Accounting, Finance & Corporate Governance; Healthcare & Public Sector Management; HRM; Industrial Relations; Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Small Business Management; International Business; Leadership & Organisational Behaviour; Marketing & Services Management; Operations & Distribution Management; Strategic Management; Teaching, Learning & Education; Tourism, Hospitality & Food; Technology Management; Practice-led Research.
This year we also welcome abstracts for a new stream on Critical Management:
Our recent experience in Ireland and internationally highlights the imperative of ensuring management is conducted in an ethical manner and
makes a constructive social contribution. Critical Management invites critique of orthodoxies in business and management teaching and
thinking about forms of organisation and norms of management practice. Whether informed by ideas of Critical Theory, green thinking, ethical
theory, spirituality, queer theory, feminism or other, this track aims to explore alternatives and challenge conventional theorising. This is
not an invitation for simplistic anti-management or anti-capitalism sentiments in that the complexity of societal issues necessitates
attention and requires exploration and creative ideas for action.
