Informal Complexity and Management Conferences (CMC)

CMC provides an opportunity for graduates of the Doctor of Management and Master of Arts programme to renew contacts with other graduates and for all those interested to join in the conversation of a community interested in a complexity perspective on organisations and their management.

The design of the programme purposely limits formal inputs in the interest of leaving much time for participants to converse together on matters of interest. Formal papers are therefore rarely presented although some reading may sometimes be suggested prior to attending. The quality of the conference therefore depends on the contributions of those attending.

Complexity and Management Conference for 2011:

Power and Identity in Organisations

Dr Ian Burkitt of Bradford University (Social Selves: Theories of Self and Society, Sage, 2008; Bodies of Thought: Embodiment, Identity, Modernity, Sage, 1999) has accepted our invitation to come and give a key note address to speak to this theme. We are still developing ideas about the other key note addresses. We extend an invitation to any of you who would like to convene a session on some aspect of your work during the conference.

The eighth annual Complexity and Management Conference of the University of Hertfordshire Business School will take place at Roffey Park.

It will run from 7pm on Friday 3 June 2011 and ending after lunch on 5 June.
