Please note the revised deadline (January 31, 2011) for submission of
your proposals for the 2011 Seventh Transatlantic Dialogue (7TAD)
conference on Strategic Management. The 2011 7TAD conference will be
hosted by the School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) at the
Rutgers University in Newark, NJ from 23-25 June, 2011. Please send
one-page proposals that include the paper title, authors, contact
details, an abstract and the preferred workshop to:
spaa@andromeda.rutgers.edu
The Transatlantic Dialogue is an annual conference jointly organized by
American and European scholars of public management to foster
intellectual discourse for advancing teaching, research and practice.
The annual dialogue is the result of collaboration between the American
Society for Public Administration (ASPA) and the European Group for
Public Administration (EGPA). The 7TAD conference on Strategic
Management of Public Organizations continues the successful series of
dialogues that have previously been hosted by prestigious universities
in Europe and North America.
The overall theme for the 2011 conference is Strategic Management of
Public Organizations. The conference aims at fostering a critical
assessment of the state of research and practice of strategic management
in and of public (and non-profit) organizations on both sides of the
Atlantic. Our goal is to facilitate a dialogue between and among
scholars from Europe and North America to uncover areas of convergence
and divergence regarding public strategic thinking, acting, learning,
and managing in and of public services, organizations, collaborations,
institutions, communities, and broader environments and their related
outcomes. Subsequent to the conference, commercial publication of
selected papers as a scholarly volume is very likely, and presenters
will be expected to grant priority publication rights for that volume if
they are approached by the editors within sixty days of the conference.
