The Asia Academy of Management (AAOM) invite papers for its 12^th biennial conference on the theme of “New Challenges for Management: The Asia-Pacific View” and relevant management studies with Asia relevance.

In the past few years, the world has witnessed at least two critical developmental trends that may have profound influence in the history of mankind. The first is a fundamental change in the nature of relationship between China and the Western countries, especially for the Sino-US relationship. The second is the outbreak of COVID-19, an almost “perfect” virus since the end of 2019. Undoubtedly, these two trends will create new and very uncertain challenges for all kind of organizations. We are particularly interested to see how management scholars are studying management issues due to these challenges. More importantly, we welcome research that have insights for responses to these challenges from the general management perspective mainly in the academic areas of entrepreneurship, international business, human resource management, organizational behavior, strategic management and other management related areas. Management studies with Asia relevance are particularly welcome. Conceptual, theory‐building, or empirical papers from these areas are all suitable for the conference.

The conference program will consist of keynote speeches, academic panels, competitive paper sessions, and interactive poster sessions. All panel and paper submissions will be competitively reviewed. We will also offer Professional Development Workshops (PDWs), consisting of (1) PhD consortium, and (2) research methods workshops.

Important Note: As this conference will be held in China, authors can write their papers in either English or Chinese. However, all submissions will be reviewed by the same level of rigor. If the papers are written in English, they should be submitted to the English review panel (aaom2022.conference@gmail.com). Papers written in Chinese should be submitted to the Chinese review panel (aaom2022@lzu.edu.cn)—please do not submit one paper to both. For details of submission, please see AAOM submission guidelines below.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE is November 15, 2021(before midnight, Hong Kong time)

Registration fee

All AAOM conference participants will pay the registration fee. Early bird fee is HK$3200 (approximately US$400). Doctoral students may pay a reduced fee of HK$1600 (approximately US$200). Conference registration fees also include a two‐year complimentary AAOM full membership and subscription of the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM), the official journal of AAOM. Doctoral students and participants from low‐income countries may apply for reduced fees—please directly consult with the AAOM Secretariat: wongcs@cuhk.edu.hk.

CONTINGENCY FOR POTENTIAL TRAVEL RESTRICTION DUE TO COVID-19
