AN INVITATION TO DUBROVNIK, CROATIA
Dubrovnik is a stunning Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea. The walled city and seaport are major tourist destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Croatia has a population of 4.3 million. It has
almost 3,728 miles of coastline, 2521 miles of which are made up of islands, cliffs and reefs. The climate on the Adriatic coast is Mediterranean, meaning warm dry summers and mild winters. With 2,600 hours of average annual sunlight, it is one of the sunniest
coastlines in Europe! Dubrovnik is easily accessible by plane from many cities throughout Europe.
ABOUT EAM-I
A regional affiliate of the Academy of Management, the EAM sponsored the first Managing in a Global Economy Conference in the Netherlands in 1985. The success of the first EAM-I conference led to a
series of Biennial international conferences organized by EAM-I in partnership with local host universities in locations around the world. Conferences have been held in varied locations including Berlin, Singapore, Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, Bangalore, Seville,
Lima, and, most recently, Gold Coast, Australia. The EAM-I conferences are a source of international collaboration and learning among academics and practitioners.
CONFERENCE Theme
Managing in Multicultural Environments
The conference theme looks at the changing face of the workplace and how globalization, changing demographics, migratory movements of populations, and increasing workplace diversity
have intensified the need for competent, multicultural leaders and managers. Authors are encouraged to submit papers related to what effective leaders’ skill sets and competencies may become, some of the new challenges organizations may face as their workforce
quickly evolves, and how these skills and competencies may be leveraged to improve business performance, with a particular focus on markets in transition.
Following past conference practice, there will be a mix of academic sessions, site visits, cultural activities, and keynote addresses by local business leaders. This conference is
open to a discussion of perspectives on economic, cultural, technological, sustainability, and ethical factors that affect global managers. The theme is meant to be interpreted broadly. Papers, cases, roundtable discussions, and exercises exploring the complexities
of our new world challenges are welcomed. Papers addressing the practical approaches to dealing with these challenges in individual nations are also welcomed and will be grouped with papers dealing with similar issues from other countries, to create comparative
sessions.
