Welcome to The Management Community
This knowledge community is brought together around a common concern for, and a shared interest to explore, new possibilities in knowledge, culture and change management. The community interacts through an innovative, annual face-to-face conference, as well as year-round virtual relationships in a weblog, peer reviewed journal and book imprint - exploring the affordances of the new digital media. Members of this community include academics, knowledge managers, consultants, practitioners, educators and research students.
Conference
Members of the Management Community meet at The International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organisations, held annually in different locations around the world. The Conference was held at Northeastern University, Boston, USA in 2009; Cambridge University, United Kingdom in 2008; Singapore Management University, Singapore in 2007; Monash University Centre, Prato, Italy in 2006; University of the Aegean, on the Island of Rhodes, Greece in 2005; Maritime Campus of the University of Greenwich, London, United Kingdom in 2004; and Bayview Beach Resort, Batu Ferringhi Beach, Penang, Malaysia in 2003. In 2010, the Conference will be held at HEC Montreal, Montreal, Canada.
Our community members and first time attendees come from all corners of the globe. Intellectually, our interests span the breadth of the fields of knowledge, culture and change management. The Conference is a site of critical reflection, both by leaders in the fields and emerging scholars. Those unable to attend the Conference may opt for virtual participation in which community members can submit a video and/or slide presentation with voice-over, or simply submit a paper for peer review and possible publication in the Journal.
Publishing
The Organisation Community enables members to publish through three meda. First, by participating in the Management Conference, community members can enter a world of journal publication unlike the traditional academic publishing forums - a result of the responsive, non-hierarchical and constructive nature of the peer review process. The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change Management provides a framework for double-blind peer review, enabling authors to publish into an academic journal of the highest standard.
The second publication medium is through the book imprint The Organisation, publishing cutting edge books in print and electronic formats. Publication proposals and manuscript submissions are welcome.
The third major publishing medium is our news blog, constantly publishing short news updates from the Organisation Community, as well as major developments in the fields of knowledge, culture and change management.
