Dear Colleagues:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2011 meeting of the Eastern Academy
of Management at the Omni Parker Hotel and Suffolk University, Boston, MA
from May 11 to May 14, 2011.
After hours of exhaustive discussions and deliberations, ensuring that all
parties had a hearing or at least an airing, the Program Committee has left
the table, but not before putting together a program that already has people
talking! There will be more talking in Boston, and presentations literally
unseen anywhere else. You can attend sessions devoted to 1) teaching ?
methods, cases, experiential exercises; 2) research ? theoretical and
empirical studies in twelve fields of study; 3) consortia and development ?
a) doctoral, b) junior faculty, and c) mid-career/senior faculty; 4)
preconference workshops in CASE writing and a ?teaching boot camp,? and 5)
Special events ? a Keynote from the Superintendent of the United States
Coast Guard Academy, a Plenary session describing the vanguard work of
Eileen Fisher, Inc. to integrate practice and the Academy, with corporate
and academics sharing the stage, and 6) Conversation and Collegiality
sessions ? what EAM does best ? our after-hours discussion times. So,
whether you are presenting or not, or whether you are a tea party patriot or
a patriot in the tea party state, you?ll want to be part of the four
days/three nights to consume the fruits of all the collective bargaining
that created EAM2011. Come to Boston, leave Learned!
In addition to traditional academic sessions, this year?s conference
features distinguished panels, professional developmental workshops, and
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

information on The CASE Association?s case writing, publishing and teaching
pre-conference, professional development workshop at

? 6 pm prior to our annual Welcome dinner. Both events require
