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 what age they will eventually be able to retire at. Many global and globalising leaders and managers 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 both the research and experiences of academics and professional practitioners in this domain. As its societies age the world is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and the impact of this 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, management education and to the pace, structures and working practices of their organisations. There has been little or no substantive research on the impact of these demographic changes on the practice of management and 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 histories (or training) within their own countries of company leadership and management development. Younger people (sometimes called Generation Y, and born in the late 70's and early 80's) are increasingly also entering emerging and developing country workforces with different expectations and assumptions than those of the people leading and managing them. 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 leading and managing simultaneously the challenges posed by social and technological change and by the different changing demographics in developed, emerging and developing country environments. The timing of AIRC3 aims to address this range of research deficiencies, to lay the groundwork for the development of theory, as well as to offer practical advice and approaches. With the AIRC3 theme "Multigenerational Challenges: integrating younger and older age into manAGEment and organisation" we invite you to submit papers, policy papers, work in progress and workshop proposals on (but not be limited to): 1. Cross-generational Working, Wellbeing and Organisational Change: · novel approaches to leading and managing multigenerational workforces · creative use of older generations · 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 2. 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-profit) and effective multi-stakeholder involvement · Global experiences of ageing and longer careers · Ageing and the MNC in developed and emerging markets 3.
