THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS OVER !!!!!

We are happy to announce that the editors of the International Studies of Management & Organization journal (ISMO) invited us to produce a special issue of the journal for 2007/2008.

We accepted this invitation because it offers an excellent opportunity for many of the workshop presenters to publish their work in this well known North American Journal. Consequently we will target a theme based on the workshop papers submitted last year and this year. Typically ISMO publishes between 5-8 articles of up to 35,000 words.

Further announcements will be made by email or at the workshop.
