24TH CARDIFF EMPLOYMENT RESEARCH UNIT (ERU) ANNUAL CONFERENCE
3-4 September 2009, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff, UK
NEW DIRECTIONS IN ORGANISATION STUDIES
The 24th annual ERU Conference will be hosted in 2009 by the Cardiff
Organisation Studies Research Group (CORGies) at Cardiff Business School.
This conference presents an opportunity to discuss emerging and future
trends within organization theory and analysis. In welcoming contributions
that explore the diverse avenues that emerge from this theme we seek to
reflexively challenge the ways in which we study organizations. We are
especially interested in papers considering:
• New directions in organization theory that attempt to develop existing
approaches or integrate multiple perspectives. Co-ordinators: Prof. Martin
Kitchener [log in to unmask] and Dr Tim Edwards [log in to unmask]
• New directions in understanding the nature, implications, and management
of work. Co-ordinators Dr Sarah Jenkins [log in to unmask] and Dr Sarah
Hurlow [log in to unmask]
The conference will begin with a keynote address from Professor Royston
Greenwood (University of Alberta) and the dinner will be held in the
spectacular Cardiff Millennium Centre. The conference concludes with a
plenary session of the CORGies professors who include: Hugh Willmott, Robyn
Thomas, Mike Reed, Rick Delbridge, Annette Davies, Martin Kitchener,
Emmanuel Ogbonna and Jonathon Morris.
CORGies brings together researchers based at Cardiff Business School who
share an interest in developing critical organization research. The members
have a strong research programme in the areas of organizational culture,
discourse, identity, organizational and institutional change, organizational
control and emotional labour. The aim of CORGies is to facilitate
collaborative research activities and new research initiatives, support
early career researchers, and to provide an arena for seminars and other
research activities
