Call for Proposals
The 2010 Program theme is Dare to Care. This theme was brought about by
the recent ethical and operational lapses of important organizations n the
United States. Somehow, the managers in these organizations relinquished
their obligations to steward their organizations not just for their
shareholders, but for society at large. The resultant economic collapse in
the US and the world over has yielded growing concern about management
practices and increasing calls for strengthening regulatory schemes and
oversight into many domains of management.
The 2010 Program committee at the Academy of Management calls for a rebirth
of passion and compassion in our management structures, processes, and
individuals. The 2010 program will be put together with an eye to
emphasizing these themes and illustrating the PNP divisions unique
positioning within the Academy to illustrate the passion and compassion with
which we, and those we study, do our work.
We seek individual papers, panels, and symposia on the Dare to Care theme as
well as those topics and issues important to the study of management in the
public and nonprofit sectors outside of this theme.
