Engaged Management Scholarship
Conference - 2012
21-24 June 2012
Welcome to the second International Conference on Engaged Management Scholarship
The International Conference on Engaged Management Scholarship has been established as the venue for the advancement and sharing of knowledge related to engaged management scholarship carried out by professional business doctorate programmes. The conference is organised yearly by the Executive Doctorate in Business Administration Council (EDBAC) which has broad international representation of executive doctoral providers. Our purpose is to promote the value of engaged management scholarship and to raise its profile internationally.
The 2012 Conference is organised by the Executive Doctorate (DBA) programme at the School of Management at Cranfield University in the UK.
Conference highlights
The Conference will consist of research papers, poster sessions, panels, invited talks, presentations, and a doctoral consortium. It is open to all scholars who are actively involved in practising engaged management scholarship or investigating different forms of it.
This year's agenda will also include two working sessions for directors and programme administrators that will provide valuable insight and discussion on the overall perception of professional doctorates and a discussion of programme design and curriculum.
