Association of Management and International Association of Management
The 26th Annual AoM/IAoM Conference of the Association of
Management (AoM/IAoM), August 06-08, 2009, Bloomington, Minnesota, USA
www.aom-iaom.org
Stressed out about the global financial, economic crises affecting institutional cutbacks imposed on scholar and practitioner professional conference attendance, the Association has reduced group attendance rates to meet cost-effectiveness for delegates seeking to attain/retain academic tenure and promotion via collegial participation, submission presentation, and publication in its August 06-08, 2009, Bloomington, Minnesota annual conference.
Individual and group submissions may be of a variety of topics that fall into the general realms of management, higher education, leadership and information technology, to mention a few. Of course submissions do not have to address interrelated topics, rather they will be placed in the conference program thematically. All submissions will undergo a regular peer review process.
For more information regarding the conference, please view www.aom-iaom.org

This is the official global gathering of “Spiral Wizards” and we expect to have a good team as we renew old friendships and make new ones. Each year the Confab topic changes and the offering is never repetitive.
