CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS/PAPERS
We are proud to introduce M.E.L.T. as the organizing paradigm for this year’s conference. We trust that you find this model intellectual challenging and provocative, since it may offer a useful framework beyond the context of this conference for your teaching and research as well. This call is for academics in a variety of conference-related activities and describes the different types of submissions the Association is seeking this year (both academic and fact-based). In addition, it provides information about the M.E.L.T. Paradigm, which represents the organizing framework, along with membership information, the AoM/IAoM publication portfolio, individual leadership, and support/sponsorship opportunities.

For more information see our Submission Guidelines.

GENERAL CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Visions of what is ahead coupled with high levels of uncertainty and ambiguity, rapid economic, political, social, technological and organizational changes are demanding new leadership and management which are passionately discussed and debated around the globe. The increasing value and extraordinary leverage knowledge offers concerns leaders in both private and public sectors worldwide. In the global economy of today, it is not just knowledge that counts more than anything else. It is the continued acquisition and expansion of knowledge and the honing of skills in the domains of management, higher education, leadership, and technology and their interdependencies and interrelationships that are very much sought after. In today’s competitive and fast-paced global environment, education is at a premium because of the high value creation potential knowledge workers bring to organizations. The real assets in this economy are ideas, innovative and creative products and services which enhance the organization’s competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
