The Conference
IACMR, the International Association for Chinese Management Research, is a professional, academic organization dedicated to serving scholars, students, managers, and consultants who are interested in advancing knowledge about the management of organizations operating in the Chinese context. The primary goal of the organization is to promote scholarly studies of the organization and management of firms in the Chinese context.
The theme of the Conference is "Knowledge Creation in a Transitional Economy". As China plays an increasingly important role in the world economy, the need to understand, explain, and guide the operations and practices of Chinese management becomes more and more urgent. The Conference's goal is to provide a forum for scholars from around the world to present and be exposed to the latest research related to management in the Chinese context. The theme of "Knowledge Creation in a Transitional Economy" should provide a broad scope for a variety of research that would contribute to the increasingly important knowledge on organizations and management in the Chinese context.

Call for papers
The IACMR 2006 conference in Nanjing is trying something new! On June 18 (the last day of the conference), we will schedule a session for caucuses. Caucuses are roundtable discussions which are designed to provide a convenient, informal way for IACMR members who share a topical interest or a professional concern to find one another and to develop a sense of community. Caucuses can help you explore new ideas as well as expand your academic network in an informal, relaxed environment.

3) A brief description of the caucus (250 words max.)
