Conference Theme The 2009 EAM-I conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is designed to foster an international exchange of management research and practice among scholars and managers from around the world. The conference theme, “Management Challenges for a New World,” was chosen with a recognition that the issues surrounding globalization, migration, sustainability, and the privatization of public functions have combined to create a new world of challenges for organizations (and nations) in the 21st century. Following past conference practice, there will be a mix of academic sessions, site visits, cultural activities, and keynote addresses by local experts.

This conference encourages a discussion of perspectives on economic, cultural, technological, sustainability, and ethical factors that affect managers. This theme is meant to be interpreted broadly. Papers, cases, roundtable discussions, and exercises exploring the complexities of our new world challenges, as well as issues surrounding preparing students to deal with these new realities, are welcomed.  Panels and symposia comparing and contrasting the specific approaches to dealing with these challenges in different nations are also welcomed.

An Invitation to Rio de Janeiro
 A Glimpse of Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, with its beautiful beaches and stunning mountains rising out of the sea, is a premier tourist destination, but it is also the second largest city in a country that embodies the changing dynamics of today’s world.  Brazil is the largest country in South America, in area, population, and economy.  Its diverse population includes descendants of the original inhabitants, African slaves and Portuguese colonists, as well as more recent immigrants from around the world.  Its wide geographic reach includes the Amazon basin, and it is home to the largest number of terrestrial vertebrates and invertebrates of any country in the world, many of them endangered.  Come join us in this exciting location to discuss the new challenges facing managers in the 21st century!
