Building on the theme for this year's Annual Meeting of the Academy of
Management - "Knowledge, Action, and the Public Concern" - the Academy
received an exciting opportunity to work with the United Nations Global
Compact (UNGC). The Academy of Management will be co-sponsoring a unique
Forum, to be held October 23-25, 2006 at Case Western Reserve
University,
on "Business as an Agent of World Benefit: Management Knowledge Leading
Positive Change." The Forum will bring together leading management
scholars and exceptional students with UNGC members who are business
executives, civil-society leaders and government policy makers from
around
the world. The Forum presents a unique opportunity to raise the
visibility
of management research as an important contributor to solutions to the
21st century's most pressing global challenges.
For an overview of the Forum, including a description of the types of
sessions that will be held, please visit the Forum website at
