Goodman School of Business at Brock University
The Goodman School of Business, located in St. Catharines, Ontario in the bountiful Niagara Region, is proud to be hosting the 2019 conference of the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC). The conference theme, “Harvest,” comes from our understanding of the vital role agribusiness plays in contributing to local prosperity and global demand. It is also derived from our own execution and dissemination of research, which helps grow knowledge towards improving business practices and quality of life. Across Canada, millions of individuals engage in producing, packaging, selling, and improving agricultural products. In parallel, all across Canada business scholars engage in producing, explaining, publishing and improving our research, with the purpose of addressing the needs of society.
The conference welcomes submissions on the theme “Harvest”, or any topic relevant to one of the following ASAC divisions:
Accounting Business History Case Studies Entrepreneurship/Family Business Finance Gender & Diversity in Organizations Health Care Management Human Resource Management Information Systems International Business
|
Management Education Management Science Marketing Organizational Behaviour Organizational Theory Production & Operations Management Social Responsibility Strategy Technology & Innovation Management Tourism & Sport Management

Original Papers
Original papers, written in English or French and not previously published or presented elsewhere, should be submitted to the appropriate division according to the Original Paper Style Guide on the ASAC 2019 EasyChair submission site, also accessible on the ASAC website. All contributions will be peer reviewed; best paper awards will be given by each division.
Work-in-Progress/Extended Abstract
New this year, ASAC invites you to submit your work-in-progress and receive support from your colleagues in developing your paper. Work-in-progress submissions, written in English or French, should be 1,200 – 1,500 words (excluding references) and should otherwise follow the formatting of a paper submission. The abstracts of work-in-progress submissions will be included in the conference proceedings, but these submissions are not eligible for full publication in the proceedings nor for best paper awards.
Case Division
The ASAC Case division invite both English and French submissions, in either the regular or cases in development streams. For the regular stream: empirical cases (i.e., non-fictional cases with a clear decision focus), relevant for use in undergraduate or graduate programs, and an accompanying teaching note, should be submitted according to the Case Style Guide (including a case release form) found on the ASAC website and the ASAC 2019 EasyChair submission site. Field cases, based on primary research (e.g. interviews) must include a case release form. All contributions will be peer reviewed, with awards recognizing the best case(s) submitted.
For the cases in development stream: we welcome cases where the work has begun (e.g. interviews conducted) but guidance is sought for structure, style, focus, or other elements of case writing. To submit your work to this stream you must complete and submit the proposal form found on the ASAC website which includes a synopsis of the case you are developing and the areas in which you are seeking guidance.
Symposia and Workshops
Members interested in organizing a symposium or workshop, in English or French, should submit a proposal according to the Symposium and Workshop submission instructions available on the EasyChair submission site, as well as the ASAC website, and be submitted to the appropriate division on the ASAC 2019 EasyChair submission site.
