It intends to promote a healthy discussion of how business programs may contribute to the formation of skilled and socially conscious future managers.

Calgary is the heart of the new West in Canada. It is a cosmopolitan city, characterized by its entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude. June in Calgary will offer you a vibrant cultural city and will also open the doors to the majestic Canadian Rockies, one and a half hour drive from downtown Calgary.

The conference will happen in the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hotel, in downtown Calgary, in its world-class conference facilities. Accessing Calgary is very convenient through the numerous direct flights from all major Canadian and American cities, and large European hubs: London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

• A full paper with a 30 page limit, including all (title page, tables and figures, etc.)
• APA style for formatting and referencing is MANDATORY
  http://www.mtroyal.ca/library/files/citation/apa.pdf
• Best paper awards will be granted only to papers that are included in the proceedings. Authors will have the option of sending a five-page abridged version for publication, instead of the full paper.

All papers must be submitted via the conference webpage www.asac.ca no later than February 15, 2013. Late submissions or submissions made directly to divisional executive members will not be accepted.

Case Track

Authors of empirical cases, non fictional cases with clear decision focus, relevant for undergraduate or graduate programs are invited to submit their case, and accompanying teaching note, via the conference webpage www.asac.ca no later than February 15, 2013. The same requirements and blind review procedures apply as for submissions to the regular research track. Awards, recognizing the best cases submitted, will be presented at the Conference.

Symposia and Workshops
Members interested in organizing a symposium or workshop should prepare a detailed description of its overall purpose and the specific role of each participant and submit it via the conference webpage www.asac.ca no later than February 15, 2013.The same quality requirements and blind review procedures apply as for paper submissions. Symposium proposals can be jointly submitted to up to three divisions. However, the names of all the divisions must be noted in the symposium proposal. This permits the divisional officers to co-ordinate their program development efforts if a symposium proposal is accepted.

ASAC Conference Policies

1. The submitted paper– in whole or in part - has not been published or presented elsewhere or be under consideration for presentation at another conference.

2. Once the paper has been submitted, no changes to authorship are permitted.

3. Authors may submit papers in two ways: (a) for consideration for presentation and for inclusion in the conference proceedings (default submission); and (b) for presentation only with a request that the paper not be included in the proceedings. To be considered for a Best Paper Award, papers must be submitted for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. To be considered for a Best Student Paper Award, papers must be authored solelyby students, and their status must be indicated on the first page of the paper.

4. At least one author will register for the conference by May 1^st. In the absence of this registration, the paper will be removed from the divisional program, the proceedings (if applicable), and consideration for any divisional awards.

5. At least one author of a submitted paper will present their paper, should it be accepted. "Substitute" presenters who are not co-authors of the originally submitted papers are not permitted.

6. Authors may not submit the same paper or substantially the same paper to more than one division.

7. Individuals may be associated with a maximum of three submissions. This rule is intended to: (a) reduce the frequencies of scheduling conflicts in the program; and (b) encourage participation from a broader cross section of the membership.

8. Symposium proposals can be jointly submitted to up to three divisions. However, the names of the divisions must be noted in the symposium proposal. This permits the divisional officers to co-ordinate their program development efforts if, indeed, a symposium proposal is accepted.

We look forward to see you in Calgary!
