Call for Papers: Businesses and organisations around the world are facing the challenges of employing a workforce that is ageing in a world that is ageing. Concerns of company leaders and managers in the western world have shifted from considering options for their own and their employees' "early retirement" to the issue of at what age they will eventually be able to retire. Companies must address the issue of integrating fast-growing Generation Y populations who may be at work till the age of 67-70 into workforces led and managed by people with different life experiences. Many global and globalising leaders are simultaneously addressing both of these issues which present challenges for managers and the organisation, for career management, pensions, technological forecasting and innovation, public policy, education and training. This makes it timely and appropriate to gather the research and experiences of both academics and professional practitioners in this domain. As its societies age, the world is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and its impact will ripple through all sectors of the global economy. In the West, leadership and management of an increasingly ageing workforce will pose new challenges for managers and management education, and to the pace, structures and working practices of their organisations. To date, there has been little or no substantive research on the impact of these demographic changes on the practice of management, or the implications for the next generation of its leaders and managers. Simultaneously, emerging countries (led by, but not limited to, the BRIC economies), are undergoing rapid industrialisation and modernisation. These efforts have been, and mostly continue to be, led and managed by generational cohorts with little or no history (or training) of company leadership and management development within their own countries. Younger people (e.g. called Generation Y) are increasingly entering emerging and developing country workforces with different expectations and assumptions than those of their leaders and managers. There is little substantive research on (optimising) the effectiveness and of cross-generational working in companies within emerging economies. Finally, there is, to date, a dearth of research on how MNCs and globalising companies are simultaneously leading and managing the challenges posed by social and technological change, and by the different changing demographics in developed, emerging and developing country environments. Within the theme "Multigenerational Challenges: integrating age into manAGEment and organisation" we invite you to submit papers on (but not be limited to): Cross-generational Working and Organisational Change: * novel approaches to leading and managing ageing and multigenerational workforces * creative use of older generations * senior talent management * longer career transitions * employee engagement: meaningful work and sustainable employability * emotions and motivation in organisations * cross-generational wellbeing in organisations and in organisational restructuring * new theories and approaches to cross-generational mentoring and management Public Policy / Corporate Governance / International Business * public policy for multigenerational occupational challenges * stakeholder led strategy on managing the 'longer' generation * corporate governance and the ageing generation * flourishing in the 21st century - sustainable workplace growth and prosperity * organisational reputation (public, private and non-profi t) and effective multi-stakeholder involvement * Global experiences of ageing and longer careers * Ageing and the MNC in developed and emerging markets Technology and Organisational and Social Change * The interaction of technology, ageing, wellbeing and the multigenerational workforce * Generation Y and e-management * Ageing related technological forecasting and social change AIRC3 Conference Opening Panel of Experts: * Derek Browne CEO Entrepreneurs in Action (EiA) * Gordon Lishman Former Director General Age Concern * Brendan Noonan Vice President Group Learning & Development, Emirates Airline Group * Philip Sadler Tomorrow's Company & Former CEO Ashridge * Kai Peters, Chair Dean & CEO Ashridge Business School AIRC3 offers dialogue among colleagues and timely feedback and peer review on your papers before the submission deadlines for the individual journal Special Issues.
