Dr. Wil Hamel
Colleagues:
The Association of Management (AoM) and its global sister organization, the
International Association of Management (IAoM), known collectively as the
AoM/IAoM, cordially invites the participation of academicians and
practitioners for its 24th annual conference to be held in San Antonio, TX,
October 3-7, 2007. This year the AoM/IAoM is promoting MELT (Management,
Education, Leadership, Technology) as the organizing framework for the
conference to provide a bridge between the world of theory and the world of
practice and stimulate the interactive discourse between academicians and
practitioners.
MELT is based on the premise that management, education, leadership, and
technology are on the cusp of a paradigm shift as industrial era management
and leadership theories and educational models are becoming dysfunctional
at a time when command-and-control systems in organizations are being
replaced by team-based systems and networks of knowledge workers, distance
education is playing an increasingly important role in institutions of
higher learning, leadership is no longer the prerogative of the omnipotent
executive at the apex of the organization and technology continues to
progress at a relentless rate. MELT acknowledges the interdependencies of
its constituent domains and serves as the platform to promote interactions
and multidisciplinary discourse among academicians and practitioners
challenged by this paradigm.
You are invited to submit your work in a variety of available formats
ranging from traditional academic research papers to innovative
practitioner boardroom solutions. The complete academic and corporate calls
for submissions and participation are located at
www.aom-iaom.org.
Professionally yours,
Willem A. Hamel, PhD

PS: Be advised our computers burned out last week resulting in a total loss
of prior submissions including backup, etc. therefore, those that submitted
to the
admin@inter-source.org address prior to April 13, 2007 should
resend. Those who received the recent "call for papers" brochure may review
the MELT paradigm on it and/or the net.
