WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Vienna is the capital of Austria. Against the backdrop of its important historical and cultural position in the middle of Europe, modern Vienna is focusing on both becoming more economically competitive on the international market and on strengthening its drive towards innovative. Yet Vienna has also always been a city of science and research. Thus, it has become a famous place for scientific conferences, where you can reliably find a creative and stimulating environment. We are delighted to confirm that the Department of Management at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business has agreed to host the conference workshop. With about 20,000 students from Austria and abroad, the Vienna University of Economics and Business (known in German as Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, or WU) is the EU’s largest educational institution for business and economics, business law, and social sciences. The Department of Management focuses on individual and organizational influencing factors and has close ties to the scientific as well as to the corporate world.

We are delighted to issue the call for papers for the 5th EIASM conference workshop on the subject of Organisational Change and Development (OCD). Previous OCD conference workshops have taken place in Tallinn, Vilnius, Bucharest and Krakow. The 5th OCD conference workshop is scheduled to take place in Vienna in September 2010. Arguably, the subject of OCD has never been more relevant for governments, organisations, leaders, and managers. Factors such as globalization, the global economic situation, the influence of multinational companies and international institutions, advances in information and communication technologies, and emerging markets (especially in Eastern Europe and Asia) have produced extreme volatility and uncertainty in organisational settings. These global factors and trends raise serious questions about the theory and practice of OCD. For example, what individual and organizational competences are needed to handle these trends? Are change management processes culture-bound or culture-free? What are the building blocks and stumbling blocks of future change management practices? What can we learn from the comparison of OCD theory and practice? What role does information flow and knowledge management play in the processes surrounding organizational change? What values are attached to organizational change strategies and interventions? The rapidly expanding body of literature on the subject of OCD bears further testimony to the importance of these types of questions in both academic and practical settings. As in previous years, this OCD conference workshop is designed to provide delegates with the opportunity to present their work and discuss it in a constructive environment. Thus, the conference seeks to bring together international scholars and practitioners with a view to exploring perspectives and insights into the management of OCD. Work presented by delegates at the OCD conference workshops in previous years has been published in journals such Human Resource Development International, Baltic Journal of Management, Journal of Business Economics and Management, and the Estonian Business Review.
