INTRODUCTION

The 1st Global Chinese Management Studies Conference 2011 organized by the Institute attracted more than 250 submissions. The high quality of the papers accepted is seen in their selection for publication in the journal of Chinese Management Studies. We like to extend an invitation to scholars interested in Chinese management to present their ideas at the 2nd Global Chinese Management Studies Conference 2012. If you wish to present your ideas for a paper, please submit a full and detailed abstract in the Emerald style to Conference@suntzuartofwar.org.

The Abstract should elaborate on Purpose, Design/ Methodology/Approach, Findings, Practical Implications, Originality/ Value, Keywords and Paper Type (eg. Conceptual, Research, Viewpoint etc).

Please submit your Abstract early and no later than February 29th 2012 for a decision by the Selection Committee (Editor-in-Chief and Regional Editors). We are especially keen to publish well articulated, original theories from Chinese contexts.

CONFERENCE DETAILS

Processing of submissionsThis CMS Conference provides the platform for cutting edge research on Chinese management. Ideas, theories or models on changes in management inside China are especially welcomed. From 2012 we like to emphasize original thinking relevant to Chinese management. This should be clearly evident in the abstracts before these are accepted for the Conference. All abstracts submitted shall be put on a CD that will be made available through Sun Tzu Art of War Institute.

During the Conference itself, the authors are encouraged to bring additional printed copies of their preliminary manuscripts for distribution. A printed copy should also be given to Dr FOO Check Teck, the Editor-in-Chief or Regional Editors. On the basis of their presentations and the preliminary manuscripts, authors may then be extended an invitation to further develop their work for publication in the Chinese Management Studies.

Editors of other Emerald’s China related journals may too be there to review the manuscripts for their journals. Alternatively authors may be invited to submit their manuscripts for a planned Handbook on Issues on Chinese Management to be published initially as e-book by Sun Tzu Art of Institute.

Suggestive TopicsFor 2012, we like to especially welcome new ideas and topics that are multidisciplinary in nature. As before we continue to welcome authors who are researching on these broad or related areas:

Notification of Acceptance (Review by Regional Editors) Saturday, March 31st 2012

Please note: There is no need for manuscript submission as selection will be based on the abstract as a proposal to develop the manuscript. Authors will be given four months to produce the preliminary paper.

Selection for CMSIf selected for CMS, promising authors will be given up to one oreven two years to fully develop the manuscript. This will enable the author to include data collection, analysis and writing up.

Dr FOO Check Teck believes that original ideas require at least one year or more to be fully developed as a substantial paper. Regional Editors of CMS will be assigned to help younger authors develop their work.
