The APROS conference is a bi-annual standing conference that brings together leading international scholars in management and organization studies. This is the only conference of its kind in this region of the world and a mainstay on the agendas of researchers throughout the world. In 2009, APROS 13 is hosted by the Graduate School of Business Administration and Leadership Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Mexico.

The 13th Asia-Pacific Researchers in Organisation Studies (APROS) International Colloquium will be held at Graduate School of Business Administration and Leadership Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Mexico.

The APROS 2009 conference seeks to create a better understanding of emerging theory building in management and organization studies in organizations in complex, emergent, and uncertain environments. The conference will gather together international top academics, corporate managers and consultants to present their research and experiences, in order to discuss the main issues facing this challenge. Specially, APROS 2009 seeks to contribute to the development of novel theoretical frameworks and innovative research strategies in management and organization studies.

Steams vary in how directly they engage with these issues and metaphors. There is space for a wide range of papers and approaches with the various streams.

APROS is a forum where academics and practitioners, particularly from the Asia-Pacific region, convene to present ideas and proposals. We hope the theme will encourage all APROS’ friends to bring forward their expertise, research, and perspectives, to generate a provocative dialogue among participants.
