CALL FOR PAPERS

5TH ANNUAL
INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDENTS OF ORGANIZATIONS CONFERENCE

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

FOR THE FIRST TIME,
THE ISO IS COMING TO THE SOUTH WESTERN COAST!!

HOSTED BY UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND BENEDICTINE UNIVERSITY

OCTOBER 17-19, 1997

The Deadline for Receiving Submissions is June 30, 1997

THEME: SHAPING ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE FUTURE

The Interdisciplinary Students of Organizations Conference invites
organizational scholars pursuing graduate degrees to join in our 5th
Annual Organizational Studies Graduate Student Conference at USC and
the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, California, October 17-19,
1997.

This conference welcomes graduate students from multiple disciplines,
including management, sociology, psychology, social psychology,
planning, political science, economics, health management,
communications and anthropology, who are interested in exploring how
multi-disciplinary approaches can enrich our knowledge of
organizations.

Our goals are simple, to break down the barriers between disciplines
by creating opportunities to share research ideas, to explore the
future of the study of organizations, and to develop peer networks in
a supportive, non-competitive environment.

The theme for the 5th Annual Conference is "Shaping Organizations for
the Future". Paper sessions are inter-disciplinary and organized
around "issue tracks", rather than along traditional disciplinary
lines. Papers may be related to any of a wide variety of
organizations, including: Business, Government, Non-Profit
Organizations and Non-Traditional Organizations.

In addition to the Paper Sessions, "Dialogue, Learning, and Synergy"
sessions will also be featured. Each of these sessions will include a
very brief presentation (no more than ten minutes) intended to create
an in-depth, interactive discussion of a particular research area,
idea or question. In contrast to paper sessions, these sessions are
for fuller discussion, exchange of ideas or work in progress, and
development of work in a given area.
Submission Guidelines:

Formal paper presentations and Dialogue, Learning and Synergy sessions
are encouraged. We also encourage submissions that develop knowledge
of either theory or practice. Paper and session proposals do not have
to be multi-disciplinary, but those that invite cross-disciplinary
discussions will be given special considerations. Awards for best
paper and best reviewer will be presented at the closing session.

Submissions are due by June 30, 1997. Acceptance decisions will
follow. Authors of papers must send three (3) copies of the
submissions. Each submission should be accompanied by an extra copy of
the abstract and title paper including every author's name, address,
telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and full affiliation.
The text of papers, excluding exhibits and references must not exceed
25 pages and should follow the Style Guide for Authors in the Academy
of Management Journal.

Proposals for Dialogue, Learning and Synergy Sessions should be
submitted as an overview statement of; 1-3 pages, excluding references
and exhibits. Each submission should include three (3) copies of the
statement and one (1) title page including every author's name,
address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and full
affiliation.

All submissions should be mailed to: Interdisciplinary Students of
Organizations Conference
