(http://www.ManagementConference.com). The Conference Theme is Knowledge Management. There is hardly an organisation in the world which does not find itself daily negotiating the forces of globalisation and technological and social change. These appear as opportunities as well as threats, and the key challenge for organisations is to find a way to navigate the threats and harness the opportunities. One of the key elements of organisation change today is encapsulated by the often nebulous concepts of'knowledge economy' and its organisational response, 'knowledge management'. The conference is being hosted by the Faculty of Business with the Globalism Institute at RMIT Melbourne, Universiti Sains Malaysia Penang and the Singapore Institute of Management. It will include major keynote papers by internationally renowned speakers and numerous small-group workshop and paper presentation sessions. In all sessions we are encouraging people to bring an active sense of the dynamics of today's organisations, as well as reflective and conceptual understandings. I would particularly like to invite you to respond to the conference call for papers. Papers submitted for the conference proceedings will be fully peer-refereed and published in print and electronic formats. And if you are unable to attend the conference, virtual registrations are also available allowing access to the electronic versions of the conference proceedings, as well as virtual presentations which mean that your paper can be included in the refereeing process and published with the conference proceedings. The deadline for the first round of the call for papers is 1 February 2003. Full details of the conference, including an online call for papers form, are to be found at the conference website. We do hope you will be able to join us in Penang in August 2003.
