Conference Theme: Mahalo! |
|
"Mahalo" is a Hawaiian word meaning thanks or gratitude. As the theme for our 2015 conference, Mahalo encompasses a fundamental focus on finding the good and positive in our lives, family, and work. As a community of scholars (teachers, researchers, and practitioners), we have many things to be grateful for, including WAM, which allows us to congregate and explore interesting and important ideas in beautiful and inspiring settings. In 2015, we invite everyone to gather in Kauai, Hawaii to continue our conversations about what gratitude means for individuals and organizations. We are privileged to have Wayne Cascio and Ed Zajac joining us in Kauai as our Journal of Management Inquiry Scholars. Our program will include the Fireside Chat with Wayne and Ed, who will also be mentors in our Doctoral/Junior Faculty Consortium. We will continue to feature full and developmental paper sessions, workshops, symposia, panels, and other signature WAM events such as the Ascendant Scholars session.
Please note that the WAM annual conference is held in association with the annual meeting of the Western Casewriters Association (WCA) - the Western regional association of business casewriters. Its purpose is to train, develop and support business case writing for research and pedagogical purposes. WCA organizes an annual conference for experienced and new case-writers and academics using cases for class room teaching. |
