hi everyone
Please find below a call for submissions for the MED Professional
Development Workshops (PDW's) for the Academy of Management Meeting in
Seattle, August 2003. Details of what is meant by a PDW (not blind
refereed as is the case for papers) and how to make a submission are
also included. I would appreciate it if you would forward this
information on to others who may be interested in making a submission
too.
Thank you
Call for Professional Development Workshop (PDW<RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK>s) Proposals
Management Education and Development Division of the Academy of
Management (Seattle, 1 <EN DASH> 6 August, 2003).
Full details of the Academy of Management Meeting in Seattle in August
2003 can be found at www.aom.pace.edu
Management Education and Development Division PDW<RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK>s
In our 2003 pre-conference PDW program for the Management Education and
Development Division (MED) we are looking for innovative and
challenging workshops that address contemporary issues in management
learning, education and development. Proposals that address the major
theme of the meeting (democracy in a knowledge economy) are encouraged
but are not essential. Proposals that explore links between theory and
practice, that address international perspectives, and that encourage
practitioner & academic collaborations are particularly welcome.
Sessions typically run from 1 to 2 hours, but can extend to 2 full
days. PDW space is limited, however, and proposals that are
co-sponsored by one or two other divisions or interest groups are
encouraged because we can then share room allocations. Our PDW format
is very flexible and we strongly encourage creative and innovative
approaches. Sessions can take the form of conventional workshops,
work-out sessions, debates, case study reviews, games, storytelling,
conversations, town-hall type meetings etc. etc.
Practice-Grounded project proposals.
You are also invited to submit brief proposals for working projects
(start-ups or ongoing) that you would like to develop in a two-day
hands-on workshop with the help of world-class academic and
practice-based experts. At least one person involved in carrying out
your project needs to attend and be open to action-research/learning
approaches. Proposals or enquiries may be initiated with an
exploratory telephone call or email to <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>both<RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK> the MED PDW Chair and to
Dan Twomey, [log in to unmask], 973-443-8802, fax 973-443-8506. You can
visit www.chrms.org for examples of previous practitioner series
