Annual Conference: Dublin City University |
New Ideas for a New Century
3-5 th September 2008
The pace of change during the first decade of the new century has been as relentless as it was during the final decade of the last one. This change has been driven by globalisation, competitiveness and information and communications technologies (ICT). Globalisation has led to the establishment of new work and organisational patterns that have yet to be modelled. Increased competition necessitates higher levels of innovation and entrepreneurship. ICT has emerged as the catalyst for performance enhancement at national, industry and firm levels, impacting on all aspects of management from CRM to HRM. Issues such as climate change, integration, urbanisation and security, provide added complexity to the management practices and research needed in the new century. Eight years in, researchers have identified the main drivers of change in the 21 st century and now it is time to reflect on and project how these will shape practice and theory in the future. Now more than ever, new ideas will be key to exploiting possibilities for advancing knowledge in the new century. This presents an opportunity for researchers in management to engage in the key issues that concern practitioners and play an increasingly relevant role in shaping management action for the future. The focus of the 11 th Annual Conference of the Irish Academy of Management is to examine new ideas in the field of management and their contribution to management theory and practice. Contributions are welcome from both academics and practitioners on research that is designed to test, extend or develop management theory while making a clear contribution to management practice.
The deadline for abstracts is Monday 10th March (extended deadline)
2008. All abstracts will be subject to double-blind reviews. The deadline for submission of full papers is Friday 4th July 2008. The fee for the conference will be €395, which will include IAM annual membership, dinner, refreshments and the conference proceedings. Full-time post-graduates will pay a reduced fee of €195.
We look forward to welcoming you to Dublin in September 2008 to explore new ideas about how to address the challenges facing management academics and practitioners alike.
Best wishes,
Dr. Edel Conway

| Welcome to Ireland & Dublin |
Welcome to Republic of Ireland & Dublin
With a warm welcome and good craic guaranteed, a stay in Ireland lets you discover an island of contrasts. From the bright lights of Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny and Waterford in the Republic of Ireland, and Belfast, Derry, Newry, Lisburn and Armagh in Northern Ireland, to the breathtaking countryside in between – Ireland can deliver a host of activities along the way!
Ireland is among the richest, most developed and peaceful countries on earth, having the fifth highest Gross Domestic Product per capita, second highest Gross Domestic Product (Purchasing Power Parity) per capita and having the fifth highest Human Development Index rank. The country also boasts the highest quality of life in the world, ranking first in the Economist Intelligence Unit 's Quality-of-life index. Ireland was ranked fourth on the Global Peace Index. The state also has high rankings for its education system, political freedom and civil rights, press freedom and economic freedom; it was also ranked fourth from the bottom on the Failed States Index, being one of the few "sustainable" states in the world.
Dublin is both the largest city and the capital of Ireland. It is located on Ireland 's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey and at the centre of the Dublin Region. Founded as a Viking settlement, Dublin has been Ireland 's primary city for most of the island's history since medieval times. Today, it is an economic, administrative and cultural centre for the island of Ireland, and has one of the fastest growing populations of any European capital city. In a 2003 European-wide survey by the BBC, questioning 11,200 residents of 112 urban and rural areas, Dublin was the best capital city in Europe to live in, and Ireland the most content country in Europe .
There is a vibrant nightlife in Dublin and it is reputedly one of the most youthful cities in Europe - with estimates of 50 per cent of inhabitants being younger than 25. In 2007, Dublin was voted the friendliest city in Europe. Like the rest of Ireland, there are pubs right across the city centre. The area around St. Stephen's Green - especially Harcourt Street, Camden Street, Wexford Street and Leeson Street - is a centre for some of the most popular nightclubs and pubs in Dublin.

Dublin City University is Ireland 's youngest university, situated on an 85 acre campus three miles north of the River Liffey in the city centre, and just a 15-minute drive from Dublin airport. With the city just a 10-minute bus drive away, visitors and students of DCU have the best of both worlds; the social and cultural benefits of city life, but with the security and vibrancy of a university campus built very much for today.
Dublin City University was initially set up to fulfill the national requirement for a highly-trained workforce with skills in the areas of business, science and electronics, computer technology, communications and languages and as an agent for change in its local community. The first students came through its doors in 1980 and the university is now recognised nationally and internationally as a centre of academic excellence.
It was awarded university status in 1989 and was considered at the time to be an 'unconventional' university. It broke with the traditional mould and introduced a number of ideas, which had enormous impact on the Irish education system. DCU was the first university in Ireland to introduce work placement (INTRA) as part of its degree programmes. The aim is for students to put their academic skills into practice in the work environment. Its degree programmes were also the first to be interdisciplinary, with, for example science students taking business courses, business students taking languages and language students taking computing. Many DCU students study at universities in Spain , France , Germany and Austria as part of their degree programmes under Erasmus exchange agreements.
DCU has developed its own research specialisms, creating a number of national centres of excellence that collaborate with other universities and industry internationally. These research centres have transcended traditional boundaries and have been extended to include combinations of academic disciplines such as biotechnology, electronic engineering, physics and chemistry. The Learning Innovation and Knowledge (LInK) research centre is based at DCU Business School and is one such example of a network of researchers working in truly interdisciplinary fields. Please visit the LInK website at http://www.dcu.ie/dcubs/link/index.shtml.
The design of the campus and the bright modern architecture make DCU a vibrant and attractive place to study and visit. The campus is laid out to encourage community interaction with the John & Aileen O'Reilly Library at the East end and the restaurant and Helix Arts Centre at the West end. DCU prides itself on the range of its facilities, both academic and recreational.
Please visit the main DCU website for further details on the university.
