to Canadian Business Historians/historiens des affaires canadiens
Call for Papers
The Administrative Sciences Association of Canada
Business History Division
invites you to submit a paper or symposium proposal for its 40thannual
conference

St. John’s, NL, CANADA
June 9-12, 2012
~ Exploring the New World of Work ~

The conference location, Newfoundland and Labrador, has a rich history
of exploration. It is not surprising that Newfoundland (as the name
implies (New Found Land)) was among the first places to be visited by
European explorers over 500 years ago as well as by the Vikings near
1000AD. Our conference theme, Exploring the New World of Work, builds
on our exploration heritage and is appropriate given the demographic,
technological, ethical, cross-cultural and legal changes occurring in
modern organizations.

The Business History Division welcomes papers on any topic in the
history of business, entrepreneurship , management or other business
related disciplines.

We invite you to join us in St. John’s to dialogue, debate, and ponder
the New World of Work, with your colleagues in a stimulating and
congenial setting. We are certain that the natural beauty of the City,
and its rich cultural heritage, will provide a vibrant backdrop for
this conference..
Paper Submission
• Original papers, written in English or French, should be submitted
electronically to the appropriate ASAC division in Microsoft Word. All
contributions will be peer reviewed, and selected papers will be
included in the Proceedings.
• Papers must conform to the ASAC Typing Style Guide (which follows
APA, 6th edition) and must not exceed thirty (30) double-spaced pages
(use Times New Roman 11), including the title of the paper, abstract
(maximum 50 words), all footnotes and endnotes, all tables, figures,
and appendices but excluding references.
• All papers must be submitted via the conference webpage
http://www.busi.mun.ca/asac2012/no later than February 8, 2012. Late
submissions or submissions made directly to divisional executive
members will not be accepted.
• By submitting a paper, authors are committing to the following ASAC
conference policies:
o The submitted paper – in whole or in part - has not been published
or presented elsewhere and/or is not under consideration for
presentation at another conference.
o Once the paper has been submitted, no changes to authorship are
permitted.
o To be considered for a Best Student Paper award, papers must be
authored solely by students.
o At least one author will register for the conference by May 1st. In
the absence of this registration, the paper will be removed from the
divisional program, the proceedings (if applicable), and consideration
for any divisional awards.
o At least one author of a submitted paper will present their paper,
should it be accepted. “Substitute” presenters who are not co-authors
of the originally submitted papers are not permitted.
o Authors may not submit the same paper or substantially the same
paper to more than one division.
o Individuals may be associated with a maximum of three submissions to
the entire conference (whether these are case studies, papers, and/or
symposium proposals,). This rule is intended to: (a) reduce scheduling
conflicts in the program; and (b) encourage participation from a
broader cross section of the membership. A person who agrees to be
listed on more than three submissions puts all of those submissions at
risk of being dropped from the program.
