17-20 May 2006 Norwegian School of Management, Oslo
GENDER, DIVERSITY AND MANAGEMENT TRACK

Please submit abstract 1200 words or development paper 5000 by February 
1st For submission guidelines: http://euram2006.contigocms.dk/page2.aspx

Keywords-Gender, diversity, management, culture, international

The aim of the track is to bring together international scholars with an 
interest in gender, diversity and management. We want to encourage 
academic inquiry into gender and diversity fields that deal with the micro 
and everyday work practices of managing in organizations including inter 
alia: recruitment, selection, learning, management and leadership 
development, career progression, cultural and gender/race identity 
processes, as well the broader macro analyses of gender, economic 
development and globalization.

Gender, and gendered and radicalized power relations are major defining 
features of most organizations and managements. Diversity and difference 
however, is culturally and socially constituted and needs to be explored 
within specific socio-political and geographic regions. Understanding the 
dynamics of diversity can assist management scholars and practioners in 
creating and sustaining competitive management behaviours and attitudes 
that are inclusive, not exclusive. Diversity initiatives are particularly 
relevant to an understanding of European management initiatives on account 
of the new enlarged Europe and Europe's relations and networks with the 
international economy. The economics and politics of transition, and the 
implications for management systems and structures are important features 
that need to be critically evaluated as Europe moves towards greater 
democratization and liberalization. There is also a need to consider how 
developments in European feminism(s) and diversity agendas are translated 
and communicated to the global community. We encourage contributions from 
scholars and PhD/research students from a broad range of disciplines: 
economics, management, psychology, women's/gender studies, sociology, and 
development theorists. We welcome studies of single countries as well as 
comparative.
