INAUGURAL CONFERENCE

BEIJING, JUNE 19-22, 2003

We invite you to participate in the IACMR 2003 Inaugural Conference that will be held in Beijing, People’s Republic of China on June 19-22, 2003. IACMR, the International Association for Chinese Management Research, is a professional, academic organization dedicated to serve scholars, students, managers, and consultants who are interested in advancing knowledge about management of organizations operating in the Chinese context. The primary goal of the organization is to promote scholarly studies of organization and management of firms in the Chinese context.

The theme of the conference is “Mapping the Territory for Chinese Management Research”. As China enters WTO and plays an increasingly important role in the world economy, the need to understand, explain, and guide the operations and practices of Chinese management becomes more and more urgent. The conference goal is to provide a forum for scholars from around the world to present and be exposed to the latest research related to management in the Chinese context. Given global attendance, we expect rich academic and non-academic cross-cultural experiences.

The conference will be co-hosted by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Regular Program and Professional Development Workshops

The first three days (June 19-21) of the Conference will be the regular program with refereed paper presentations and a small number of invited panels. The program committee also will organize a half-day company visits. The last day of the Conference (June 22, 2003) will be for professional development workshops. Pre-or-post-conference sightseeing trips will be organized if there is such demand. Detailed conference program is available on our website.
