CALL FOR PAPERS AND REVIEWERS
The Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC)
Organizational Theory Division
invites you to submit a paper or symposium proposal for its 43rd annual conference
Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA
June 13-16, 2015
"Historic Proportions: Charting A New Path"
ASAC 2015 will be hosted by the Sobey School of Business in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The conference theme, "Historic Proportions: Charting A New Path," came from a combination of recognizing the historical significance of Halifax as one of Canada's oldest cities with the importance of problematizing the past to better understand the present and theorize the future. We welcome submissions on this theme or other issues related to organizational theory. (Related divisions include: business history, health care management, management education, social responsibility, strategy, and tourism/sport management.)
Halifax is Atlantic Canada's premier meeting and convention city as well as a popular tourist destination. Its pleasant climate, rich history and vibrant cultural scene have made it popular with visitors for more than 250 years. Halifax combines the international appeal of a major port city and naval base with the youthful spirit of a university town and the heritage of one of Canada's most historic communities. It is accessible by air from many cities in Canada and the USA with daily scheduled flights on Air Canada, Porter Airlines, WestJet, United, US Airways, and Delta, in addition to seasonal service on Air Transat, Condor, Europe Airpost and Iceland Air.
Original Papers
Original papers, written in English or French, should be submitted according to the submission instructions at www.2015.asac.ca no later than 12:00 noon AST on February 15, 2015. All contributions will be peer reviewed, with best paper awards nominated by the division. Submissions should generally conform with the APA (6th edition) style guide (http://www.apastyle.org/). A style guide is available on the conference website.
