The 13th Annual Conference of the Irish Academy of Management will be held at Cork Institute of Technology from 1 to 3 September 2010. The theme of the conference is “Renewing the Management Research Mandate”. This theme is particularly relevant because of the many crises and the economic climate in which we live. It is timely, therefore, to gather and present evidence on what actually works in managing in these turbulent times.

Abstracts are now being invited 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 Conference chair is Dr Margaret Linehan and can be contacted at margaret.linehan@cit.ie for further information.

A Doctoral Colloquium will be held at University College, Cork on 1 September 2010. The joint chairs of the doctoral colloquium are Dr Donncha Kavanagh and Ms Carol Kelleher who may be contacted at d.kavanagh@ucc.ie and carol.kelleher@ucc.ie As in previous conferences, the Doctoral Colloquium precedes the conference. It is an ideal opportunity for all PhD researchers in Business and Management studies to come together and engage with fellow researchers in reviewing current theoretical frameworks, research philosophy and methodology in their respective areas. Full details of the colloquium will be uploaded on the website in due course.
