The Eastern Academy of Management
The Eastern Academy of Management (EAM) is a regional affiliate of the approximately 10,000 member Academy of Management. Each May, the EAM holds its Annual Meeting and conference that attracts around 300 member participants. Conference locations are in the eastern part of North America, and have included Washington D.C.; Hartford, Connecticut; Montreal, Quebec; Buffalo, New York; Baltimore, Maryland; Portland, Maine; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Competitive papers, symposia, and network groups emphasize the pursuit of excellence in teaching and scholarly research in the filed of management. Members present papers, serve on panels, hold affiliated group meetings, and attend presentations by nationally known individuals who are selected for their contributions to the management field. Awards are offered for the best scholarly and management education works. Conference proceedings are published for those in attendance.
The Eastern Academy of Management initiated the first of a series of biennial international conferences jointly sponsored with host institutions in countries outside North America. Each conference carries the theme "Managing in a Global Economy" as a challenge to both management scholars and executives to develop more diversified interests by engaging in a world-wide dialogue. The first conference in 1985, jointly sponsored with Tilburg University, was help in Tilburg, the Netherlands. In 1987, the second conference was held on the Aegean coast, co-sponsored by Deree College, Athens, Greece. The third conference was held in Shatin, Hong Kong, in 1989, and was jointly sponsored with the Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 1991, in Nice, France, the conference was jointly sponsored with CERAM Ecole Superieur de Commerce Nice-Sofia Antipolis. The fifth conference, held in Berlin, Germany in 1993, was jointly sponsored with the Paul-Lobe-Institute. In 1995, the Singapore conference was co-sponsored by the Nanyang Technological University. In 1997, the seventh conference was held in Dublin, Ireland, jointly sponsored with the University College Dublin.
Like its predecessors, EAM’s 1999 Prague Conference, Managing in a Global Economy VIII - Transformation and Integration, is intended to foster an international exchange of ideas. It provides an exceptional opportunity for dialogue among scholars and executives from around the world on management issues in a time of rapid global economic and political change. The conference emphasizes the challenges that arise from the momentous changes that are transforming Eastern Europe, while Western Europe’s integration is creating new opportunities for social, economic and business change. The challenges and opportunities provide lessons for management scholars and executives around the world. Scholars from twenty- four countries in five continents are gathered together to participate in this dialogue.
The mission of the CMC Graduate School of Business is to promote excellence in management and enterpreneurship, contributing thereby to enterprise competitiveness in the Czech Republic and the Central European regions. Through its unique synergy between graduate management education and executive development, CMC serves as a catalyst for the integration of regional and international business perspectives and management expertise. CMC’s foremost commitment is to management development and its supporting infrastructure of information resources, facilities, and residential experience uniquely supports this goal. CMC is an independent, active partner in the international academic and management communities. The Center is committed to the free exchange of knowledge and to extending the range of transfers of academic credits, faculty and administrators with other leading international institutions.
Here, at the latest meeting of the conference that is perhaps her greatest monument, we pause to remember Carolyn R. Dexter, who died on February 22, 1999, for her two decades of leadership and service to the Eastern Academy of Management and the Academy of Management. Carolyn co--founded the Eastern Academy of Management International and remained active throughout its development. We admired Carolyn for her intelligence, creativity, perseverance, courage and strength. Many of us feel her loss deeply because we were touched by her in so many ways - as a friend, colleague and mentor. She has left a lasting legacy through her commitment, dedication, and service record.
Carolyn's most enduring contributions are her mentoring of colleagues and her generating and championing of new ideas. She engaged us in a dialogue of ideas, enthusiastically presenting hers, while thoroughly considering ours, and intensely debating all of them. She persistently pushed for what she believed in, embraced others' ideas, and pulled us along with her as she introduced new programs, changed structures and promoted new organizations. In the process of working with Carolyn, we all grew and developed.
Carolyn was Professor of Management at Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg, PA. Her research focused on the role of women in Management and the managerial implications of globalization. In addition to her role in EAM International, Carolyn served as President of Eastern Academy of Management and the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM), an organization that she helped establish. She also served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Management-.
She would have been most delighted at the burgeoning, continuing interest in so many of her initiatives, which others - we, her successors - must now carry on. May her example encourage us all to dream that we can do what we set our hands to; that we can bring along others into the great dreams we share; and that above all, enthusiasm and mutual support are what it's all about.
