Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear All, I would like to take this opportunity as to inform you about and to invite you to "Trans-European Management 2001", an International Working Conference to find answers to the question "What it means to be a manager in Europe?" This conference will be jointly sponsored by I.TEM (Initiative for Trans-European Management) and the Tavistock Institute. It will take place in Coesfeld/Westphalia/Germany for the 9th time this year. The dates are June 29 to July 6, 2001. This conference will be of interest to managers who are prepared to rethink the nature of management in a European context. Students of management or related subjects are also invited to apply. Unlike usual academic conferences this Working Conference does not include presentations and papers; the learning which will be offered will be derived by the exploration of the experience from managerial work within the conference as a temporary system. The working languages of the conference are English and German. All participants mut be able to work in at least one of these languages. There is a limit of 60 places available. Partcipants from Eastern Europe will pay a reduced fee. You will find further information on this Working Conference on the following webpage: In English: http://www.wiwi.uni-wuppertal.de/sievers/downloads/tem_2001eng.pdf In German: http://www.wiwi.uni-wuppertal.de/sievers/downloads/tem_2001deu.pdf May I kindly ask you also to forward this announcement to friends and colleagues who might be interested. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you need further information. Looking forward to welcoming you on June 29, 2001 at Coesfeld. Best regards, Burkard Sievers Director Trans-European Management 2001
