PERMISSION TO POST REQUESTED Dear academic and practitioner professionals: The present financial and economic crises create visions of what's ahead coupled with high levels of uncertainty and ambiguity demanding and creative solutions to the national and global problems leaders and managers are confronted with. The AoM/IAoM developed a conceptual framework known as M.E.L.T. (Management, Education, Leadership, Technology) to frame issues and generate research questions related to the current crises that are of interest to management scholars and practitioners. Given the current socioeconomic climate and uncertainty, the AoM/IAoM believes that academics and practitioners are uniquely positioned to represent their concerns and issues. We therefore specifically invite interested parties to present their assessments of the current situation, critiques of outdated management, leadership, and educational theories, propose new paradigms or best practices given the current socio-economic climate at the annual conference of the Association of Management and International Association of Management (AoM/IAoM), August 06-08, 2009, Bloomington, MN. Visit us at www.aom-iaom.org for conference details and submission procedures.
