Subject: Reminder on AAOM conference submission
A Theory of Asian Management versus an Asian Theory of Management
Seoul, Korea, December 10-12, 2012
Hosted by Korea University Business School
The Asia Academy of Management invites papers for its eighth conference. The theme of the conference is ‘A Theory of Asian Management versus an Asian Theory of Management’. In specific, we hope to explore the
question of, ‘What are the unique contributions that Asian Management can make to advance the field of management, which has been heavily influenced by Western theories and practices?’
With a collection of many different countries that exhibit distinctive backgrounds in culture, society and institutional development, indigenous Asian Management research holds great promise for extending existing
theories and developing new theories that are grounded in an Asian context. However, Asian management scholars face two different approaches for indigenous research: one approach is to develop a theory of Asian management that extends and modifies Western
theories to Asian contexts, while the other approach is to develop a unique Asian theory of management that addresses specific issues in Asia, about Asia, and for Asia.
We see pros and cons to each of these two approaches. We open up these issues for scholarly debate at the Eighth Asia Academy of Management conference. We welcome research in one or both approaches. More specifically,
issues related to the broad theme of the conference include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- What are the similarities and differences between Western and Asian Contexts for theory development?
- What are the traditional wisdoms and new Asian business practices that inform theory-building?
- What are the challenges and opportunities for conducting indigenous research in Asia?
- What are the similarities and differences for micro-level issues such as leadership and emotion in organizations situated in Western or Asian contexts?
- How is entrepreneurship in Asia different from that in the US and Europe, in both research and practice?
- What are the unique attributes of family business in Asian contexts?
- How do firms in Asia develop network ties or Guanxi with stakeholders and what might be the unique implications of these ties for research on entrepreneurship, innovation and firm performance?
- How do business groups in Asia, such as Chaebol and Keiretsu, demonstrate distinct strategic implications, especially in this time of substantive economic shifts?
- What are the emerging challenges for Asian management practices and research?
The conference program will consist of keynote speeches, competitive paper sessions and interactive poster sessions. All competitive paper submissions and interactive poster session submissions will be competitively
reviewed.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 31, 2012
