ing on:

   research and their use.
*  Well described, theoretically interesting experiences with educational
   studies and research by individuals, groups, organizations or educa-
   tional institutions.
*  Examples of multi-institutional or multidisciplinary approaches to
   understanding educational studies and research (ESR).
*  Research on educational studies and research that accounts for changing
   organizational forms.
*  Descriptions of joint academic-industry research endeavors that are
   theoretically based and implemental in nature.
*  New and innovative approaches to teaching.
*  Cross cultural or international issues in the management of education,
   particularly those setting new directions for practice.
*  Empirical studies that employ innovative qualitative and quantitative
   methods.

                           PROPOSALS FOR PANELS

For submissions describing original research, the Program Committee will
entertain proposals for panels that examine innovative, controversial or
otherwise provocative issues of interest to the field.  Submitted propos-
als will be subject to a refereee process.  Panels should not be a collec-
tion of unrelated work in progress.  The best panels, in our experience,
have been structured as a debate, giving opportunity for audience partici-
pation, but the committee is open to stimulating ideas. The Group Chair-
person is willing to work with prospective Panel Chairpersons in advance
of submission to discuss or review panel concepts or the form of the pro-
posal.

A panel proposal should be submitted by the Panel Chairperson, who will be
responsible for coordinating the panel.  The proposal should briefly sum-
marize the point of the panel and describe how it will be explored in a
90-minute session.  It should also include the names and affiliations of
two or three panelists (and alternates, if appropriate) who have made a
commitment to participate and brief summaries of their positions on the
issue.  The Program Committee reserves the right to modify panel proposals
in order to complement other parts of the conference program.  A short
description of accepted panels will be included in the Association of
Management Conference Proceedings.
