    Dear Colleagues,

    We are currently seeking papers for the 2011 IEEE International
    Technology Management Conference, which will be held in San Jose
    during June 27-30, 2011. The theme of the conference is "Managing
    Technology in Challenging Times".

    It is the first time that IEEE Technology Management Council has
    decided to host such a conference in the US, and Silicon Valley is

    Management Council recognizes the importance of this conference and
    hopes to see your enthusiastic participation.

    We invite contributions from researchers, educators, managers and
    students. Contributions may be conceptual, theoretical, or empirical.
    They should document research activity, case studies or best
    practices, shedding light on the theory or practice of engineering,
    technology, or innovation management, and address the strategic
    objective of technological change.
