Managing in
a Dangerous World
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
Individuals from industry, the public sector, and academia are
invited to submit peer-reviewed papers and proposals for symposia
and workshops germane to the engineering management discipline.
The Conference is intended to provide a forum for practicing
engineering managers and university researchers and teachers
to discuss topics of mutual interest associated with engineering
management. Papers that help manage technological firms in times
of economic expansion and contractions are specially sought.
This conference seeks to identify lessons learned during challenging
times.
PUBLISHED PROCEEDINGS
All papers will be subject to peer review. By submitting a manuscript,
the author certifies that it has not been copyrighted, previously
published, or previously presented, and that it is not currently
under review for presentation at another professional meeting.
In addition, it is understood that at least one of the authors
will register and attend the conference to present the paper
if it is accepted. Papers accepted and presented at the conference
will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
INDUSTRIAL DISCUSSANT PRESENTATIONS
Those desiring their papers to be discussed by an industrial
discussant will submit their papers as traditionally done with
indication of a desire for an industrial discussant. Scheduling
for these presentations at the conference will be for a longer
time period to allow time for the industrial discussant to discuss
the paper and extend the ideas of the paper into industrial
application. Authors can choose to recommend their own industrial
discussant or can request the program committee to select a
discussant for them (if so, specifically state this request
in your abstract submission).
SKILLS TRACK PRESENTATIONS AND ACADEMIC PANELS
These presentations are skills-based and are intended to support
those needing important management, leadership, and engineering
management skills to do their jobs. The presentations can be
either 45 minutes or an hour and a half in length. No paper
is associated with skills tracks workshops or the academic panels.
