2540 Republic of Georgia, Call for papers, The 18th Annual World Business Congress of the International Management Development Association (IMDA)

CALL FOR PAPERS – COME TO INTRIGUING TBILISI, REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA THIS SUMMER!

The 18th Annual World Business Congress of the International Management Development Association (IMDA) will be held in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, from July 15, 2009. This unique opportunity is organized and hosted jointly by IMDA and International Black Sea University, in partnership with the Georgian Ministry of Economic Development. Scholarly papers, panel/special session proposals, and case study exercises for presentation and possible publication in the refereed Congress proceedings are invited. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers (using qualitative/historical and quantitative methodologies) are solicited. Those on the theme of «Management Challenges in an Environment of Increasing Regional and Global Concerns» are most desirable, although all aspects of business (including advertising, marketing and public relations) are of interest.

Manuscripts submitted must be complete papers, ready for blind review, to be considered for inclusion in the Congress proceedings. A work-in-progress may be reviewed and considered for presentation, even though not published in the Congress proceedings. In addition to scholarship, the Congress is designed to offer an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world and exchange information and ideas on a variety of global business development topics.

Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, is one of the most picturesque and historical cities in the world, located strategically at the cross-roads between Europe and Asia and lying along the historic Silk Road routes. Attendees will have the chance to partake in a planned regional tour included in the registration fee. This is a great organization and a great venue to develop new contacts and friendships. No visas are required for nationals of most countries.
