Conference Theme: Managing the 'NEXT' Normal
The conference seeks to explore challenges, experiences and strategies for managing the radically changed business environment during the pandemic and also to develop an understanding of planned adjustments to the response strategy for the creation of new, innovative and resilient business models to ward off any similar challenges in the next normal.
In summary, we are interested in exploring and questioning the novel and conducive managing practices and solutions employed during the pandemic in different management disciplines and how these practices and solutions interact with organizational memory in terms of managerial practices for the ‘Next Normal’.

AMI 2021 - Paper Development Workshop
AMI 2021- Paper Development Workshops (PDWs) are designed to provide authors with guidance and expertise in the development of their manuscript for potential submission to reputed journals. The workshops will include presentations about the individual journal by members of that journal's editorial team, as well as roundtable discussions that focus on providing authors with practical and developmental feedback aimed at strengthening and improving their papers for submissions.
Participants at the AMI 2021 conference are welcome to apply to participate in the PDWs. To apply:
- The authors must agree to the abstract being shared with, and discussed in, a small group of participants arranged by the workshop facilitators;
- The main author must be willing and able to provide a short (5-minute maximum) overview of the paper to others in the workshop;
- A commitment to contribute to the whole workshop, if your paper has been accepted.
A maximum of 8 submissions will be accepted for the PDWs and the process is competitive. However, there will also be a general ‘meet the editors’ session at the conference which will be open to all, where there will be an opportunity to ask questions and seek guidance on general points. If your working paper or abstract is accepted for the PDW, we will confirm your PDW place by 5 May 2021.
