Dear Colleagues:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2012 meeting of the Eastern Academy

Our conference this year offers a host of opportunities scholarship in
research and teaching, a superb location in the heart of downtown
Philadelphia, and the collegial atmosphere that characterizes EAM meetings.
This year the research and teaching sessions are organized into 14 tracks,
covering the range of traditional management disciplines. We also have an
exciting and challenging conference theme, Implications of Technology for
Todays Managers: Opportunities and Challenges, that includes symposia, a
keynote presentation, panel discussions, traditional research, professional
development sessions, exercises and cases. With the traditional sessions and
theme-related presentations, the EAM conference this year promises to be one
you will not want to miss.
In addition to traditional academic sessions, this years conference
features distinguished panels and presentations by both academic and
corporate leaders, as well as a variety of professional development
workshops interspersed within the traditionally scheduled research sessions
(ranging from topics such as grant writing to teaching methodologies). The
conference also offers three open-enrollment Consortia focused on career
issues of doctoral students, junior faculty, and mid-career/senior faculty.
Information about the Consortia can be found at
