ANZAM'13: Streams of knowledge and learning

The 27th Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management conference starts this morning, in Hobart, Australia. If the registration process and pack is any indication, the three day conference will be a well-run, high quality affair. This year, papers have been categorised into 15 subject streams:

• Managing on the Edge
• Critical Management Studies
• Entrepreneurship, Small Business and Family Enterprise
• Gender, Diversity and Indigeneity
• Human Resource Management
• International Management
• Leadership and Governance
• Management Education and Development
• Marketing and Communication
• Organisational Behaviour
• Organisational Change and Development
• Health, Public Sector and Not-for-profit
• Strategic Management
• Sustainability and Social Issues in Management
• Technology, Innovation and Supply Chain Management

With about 340 papers on the programme, and several plenary keynotes, the logistics exercise of paper and stream selection has not been without challenge. Today, I'll be concentrating my attention on two streams: Leadership and Governance, and Strategic Management. I will post reflections and comments as time and wi-fi access permits.
