2010 Annual Conference Project Management Program Track

Midwest Decision Sciences Institute (MWDSI) is pleased to launch the Project Management Program Track in partnership with the Decision Sciences Institute. In an effort to increase teaching and research interest in Project Management and further the partnership between MWDSI and its parent institution, several sessions on project management will be offered at the 2010 MWDSI Annual Meeting in Toledo. The intent is to draw from the collective membership of both organizations to establish these sessions. Sessions are planned on general Project Management issues, Information Technology Project Management, and Project Management Instruction. Negotiations are underway for possible fast-tracking of quality papers to related journals and for presentations by a Project Management society on practice and instructional issues. Paper submissions should follow the Annual Meeting guidelines.

Competitive papers or detailed abstracts and proposals for symposia, tutorials and workshops are invited for, but not limited to, general Project Management issues, Information Technology Project Management, and Project Management Instruction. Sessions involving practitioners will be given special consideration. All papers will be blind refereed electronically, and accepted papers will be published in the conference Proceedings. Abstracts should be of sufficient detail to indicate clearly the objectives of the research. Preference is given to completed papers. It is understood that submissions have not been previously published in a Proceedings or journal, nor are submissions currently under review for publication or presentation elsewhere. Submission of a paper implies that an author will register for the conference, attend the conference, and personally present the paper, if accepted. All papers, abstracts and workshop proposals must be submitted electronically on or before February 15, 2010. Please visit http://MWDSI2010.utoledo.edu for details and updates.
