Dear colleagues,
The Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC)
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND FAMILY BUSINESS DIVISION
invites you to submit a paper or symposium proposal for its 42nd annual
conference
Muskoka, Ontario, Canada
May 9th-13th, 2014
~ Sustainability and Innovations in Work and Leisure ~
ASAC 2014 will be hosted in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, by Nipissing
University. The conference theme, Sustainability and Innovation in Work and
Leisure is an opportunity to examine and discuss issues and phenomena about
change and the ecological, social and economic impacts on our workspaces and
society. The theme is a broad basis which should provide a good
environment for practitioners, teachers and scholars to reflect on and share
their unique perspectives. The conference will take place in the Muskoka
Region of Northern Ontario at the Deerhurst Resort. The beautiful Deerhurst
Resort is located in the town of Huntsville, also known for being the
renowned cottage country of Toronto. The Muskoka Region was selected by
National Geographic Traveler as one of the top places in the world to visit
in 2012. Deerhurst Resort has been known as “the place where the world
meets” as evidenced by its hosting of the 2010 G8 Summit.
The entrepreneurship and family business division, jointly with the strategy
division, are very pleased to have Professor Shaker A. Zahra, as our
distinguished speaker during the conference.
Paper Submission
Original papers, written in English or French, should be submitted
electronically to the appropriate ASAC division in Microsoft Word. All
contributions will be peer reviewed, and all accepted papers may have an
abridged version included in the Proceedings.
Submissions should follow these guidelines:
• The maximum length for submitted papers is 30 double-spaced pages,
including title page, tables, figures, illustrations, but excluding references.
• APA style (6th edition) for formatting and referencing is MANDATORY. A
summary of APA style guidelines can be found at
http://www.mtroyal.ca/library/files/citation/apa.pdf (English) and
http://www.polymtl.ca/biblio/utiliser/citations-guide.pdf (French)
• Only papers that are included in the conference proceedings are eligible
for the awards (Best Paper and Honorable Mention). Authors have the option
of sending a five-page abridged version for inclusion in the conference
proceedings, instead of the full text of the paper. Papers that are authored
by students only and included in the conference proceedings are eligible for
the Best Student Paper Award.
All papers must be submitted via the conference webpage
www.asac.ca no later
than January 15th, 2014. Late submissions and submissions made directly to
divisional executive members will not be accepted. After a paper has been
accepted, at least one author must register for the conference, otherwise
the paper would be removed from the conference program and it would not be
eligible for any award.
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 notes, via the conference webpage
www.asac.ca no later than January 15th, 2014. The same requirements and
blind review procedures apply to case track submissions as for submissions
to ASAC divisions. 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 January 15th, 2014. 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.
We look forward to see you at the ASAC 2014 conference!
