Management Conference 2010

Background | Supporters

Welcome to the website of the Tenth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organisations. In 2010, the Conference is to be held at HEC (École des Hautes Études Commerciales, School of Commercial Studies) Montréal, Montréal, Canada, 26-28 July 2010.

This Conference will address ‘knowledge’, ‘culture’ and ‘change’ in Organisations from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Plenary Speakers will include some of the world’s leading thinkers in the field of management.

The Management Conference is a participants’ Conference, including numerous parallel sessions. Participants are welcome to submit a presentation proposal either for a 30-minute paper, 60-minute workshop, or a jointly presented 90-minute colloquium session. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. Each stream also has its own talking circle, a forum for focused discussion of issues. For those unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual participation is also available.

We encourage all presenters to submit written papers to The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change Management, a fully refereed academic Journal. Virtual participants may also submit papers for consideration by the Journal. All Conference participants who have finalised their registration will receive a complimentary online subscription to the Journal. This subscription is valid until one year after the Conference end date.

Background

The International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organisations

The Management Conference is held annually in different locations round the world. The Conference was held at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA in 2009; Cambridge University, United Kingdom in 2008; Singapore Management University, Singapore in 2007; Monash University Centre, Prato, Italy in 2006; University of the Aegean, on the Island of Rhodes, Greece in 2005; Maritime Campus of the University of Greenwich, London, United Kingdom in 2004; and Bayview Beach Resort, Batu Ferringhi Beach, Penang, Malaysia in 2003.

The primary interest of the Management Conference is knowledge-based social and economic change. Driven by globalisation and advances in information and communications technologies, this change has been characterised in terms of emerging information/knowledge societies and a global knowledge-based economy.

The Conference will offer a comprehensive overview of current thinking in the area broadly described as knowledge management. Its perspectives will range from big picture analyses in keynote addresses by internationally recognised experts in the field of management, to detailed case studies of management practice. It will traverse a broad terrain, from theory and analysis to practical strategies for action.

The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change Management

Conference participants may submit papers to The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change Management, before the Conference and up until one month after the Conference. Papers submitted for publication will be fully refereed. The publication decision is based on the referees’ reports.

For those unable to attend the Conference in person, a virtual registration will provide participants access to the electronic version of the Journal, as well as the option to submit papers to the Management Journal.
