APROS 15 – “Re-covering Organizations”
APROS15 will be held in Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo) from 15th to 17th February 2013
The call for stream conveners is open until 28 February 2012.
We have adjusted the call dates for APROS-15 to request abstracts by 29th July and confirmation of acceptance by 31st August.
Please email queries and abstracts of 400 words to the contacts indicated for each stream.
Recovering economically
The theme for 2013 was first discussed at the end of 2010 with the prospect of the European economies entering a similar period of stagnation which has been experienced by Japan as the ‘lost decade’ reflecting the need to share new understandings of organisations, economics, and demographics.
Recovering physically
The events of March 2011 have shown the world both the vulnerability and resilience of advanced industrial societies. Japan’s response to natural disaster prompts us to consider a range of social and organisational responses which will be demanded a century by the need for climate change mitigation.
Re-covering organizations
By going back to the existing coverage of organisations in the literature and revising it, perhaps in light of the current crisis of capitalism.
Recovered memories
Recovering forgotten and neglected past accounts such as O’Connor on The Fiscal Crisis of the State and Habermas on Legitimation Crisis.
The organisers welcome proposals for streams which reflect or develop the above concerns, or which offer additional interpretations of the conference theme.
Please forward proposals or ideas you’d like to discuss toMasatoshi Fujiwara fujiwaramasatoshi@me.com Stephen Little s.e.little@open.ac.uk
Conference Location
Hitotsubashi is one of the premier universities in the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, specialising in the humanities and social sciences.
It is situated in Kunitachi, west of central Tokyo and easily accessed by the JR Chuo line which connect with the both the circular Yamanote line and the Narita airport express at Shinjuku.
A wide range of accommodation is available in Tachikawa, a short train ride towards Tokyo from the Hitotsubashi campus.
I am very interested in participating in this conference. Within the context “recovering economically” I would like to recommend a stream which would focus on the recovery of of tourism to Japan, as it happens I am the keynote speaker on March 12, 2012 of a conferebce being orgabised by the Prefecture of Okinawa which will be called the Tourism Crisi Managment symposium which is being held to mark the 1st anniversary ofthe Japan Earthquake tsunami and I will be focussing on global best practice in tourism recovery as it would apply to the Japan. I know some excellent people in academia and in the tourism industry who could lend their assistance to this sort of program.
We have a number of strong proposals for streams for APROS-15, split between those related to “recovery” in a direct reference to economic and physical recovery and those related to broader considerations of organization theory.
Two proposers are working to produce a combined stream.
The streams and conveners will be announced by 1st May 2012
Abstracts (3-400 words) will be due with the conveners by 15th July 2012
Confirmation of acceptance will be given by 17 August 2012
