The 40th annual Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC) Conference, will be held June 9 to 12, 2012 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, hosted by Memorial University; the theme of this year’s conference – “Exploring the New World of Work.”

The HCM (Health Care Management) Division

The HCM division invites submissions addressing any aspect of the health care sector. Topics include but are not limited to: the organization and management of health care organizations; public policy and quality issues and their implications for managers, staff and clients/patients; health care finance and marketing; comparisons of health care across international contexts; empirical or conceptual applications of theory relating to health care organizations; and conceptual development of theory from studies conducted in health care settings.

The Conference Theme

Exploring the New World of Work, builds on our exploration heritage and is appropriate given the demographic, technological, ethical, cross-cultural and legal changes occurring in modern organizations. The HCM division encourages papers, cases, symposia and workshops focused on the 2012 conference theme as well as other avenues of health care. The HCM division encourages submissions from PhD students. All papers must be submitted using Easychair (http://www.busi.mun.ca/asac2012/ no later than February 8, 2012. The same quality requirements and blind review procedures apply as for paper submissions. Symposium proposals can be jointly submitted to up to three divisions. However, the names of all the divisions must be noted in the symposium proposal. This permits the divisional officers to co-ordinate their program development efforts if a symposium proposal is accepted.

We invite you to join us in St. John’s to dialogue, debate, and ponder the New World of Work, with your colleagues in a stimulating and congenial setting. We are certain that the natural beauty of the City, and its rich cultural heritage, will provide a vibrant backdrop for this conference.
