2. INTRODUCTION
The 1st Global Chinese Management Studies Conference 2011 organized by the Institute attracted more than 250
submissions. The high quality of the papers accepted is seen in their selection for publication in the journal of
Chinese Management Studies. We like to extend an invitation to scholars interested in Chinese management to
present their ideas at the 2nd Global Chinese Management Studies Conference 2012. If you wish to present your
ideas for a paper, please submit a full and detailed abstract in the Emerald style to Conference@suntzuartofwar.org.
The Abstract should elaborate on Purpose, Design/ Methodology/Approach,
Findings, Practical Implications, Originality/ Value, Keywords and Paper
Type (eg. Conceptual, Research, Viewpoint etc).
Please submit your Abstract early and no later than February 29th 2012 for a
decision by the Selection Committee (Editor-in-Chief and Regional Editors).
We are especially keen to publish well articulated, original theories from
Chinese contexts.
CONFERENCE DETAILS
Processing of submissions
This CMS Conference provides the platform for cutting edge
research on Chinese management. Ideas, theories or models on
changes in management inside China are especially welcomed.
From 2012 we like to emphasize original thinking relevant
to Chinese management. This should be clearly evident in the
abstracts before these are accepted for the Conference. All
abstracts submitted shall be put on a CD that will be made
available through Sun Tzu Art of War Institute.
During the Conference itself, the authors are encouraged to bring
additional printed copies of their preliminary manuscripts for
distribution. A printed copy should also be given to Dr FOO
Check Teck, the Editor-in-Chief or Regional Editors. On the basis
of their presentations and the preliminary manuscripts, authors
may then be extended an invitation to further develop their work
for publication in the Chinese Management Studies.
Editors of other Emerald’s China related journals may too be
there to review the manuscripts for their journals. Alternatively
authors may be invited to submit their manuscripts for a planned
Handbook on Issues on Chinese Management to be published
initially as e-book by Sun Tzu Art of Institute.
Suggestive Topics
For 2012, we like to especially welcome new ideas and topics that
are multidisciplinary in nature. As before we continue to welcome
authors who are researching on these broad or related areas:

Notification of Acceptance (Review by Regional Editors)
Saturday, March 31st 2012
Please note: There is no need for manuscript submission as
selection will be based on the abstract as a proposal to develop
the manuscript. Authors will be given four months to produce
the preliminary paper.
Selection for CMS
If selected for CMS, promising authors will be given up to one or
even two years to fully develop the manuscript. This will enable
the author to include data collection, analysis and writing up.
Dr FOO Check Teck believes that original ideas require at least
one year or more to be fully developed as a substantial paper.
Regional Editors of CMS will be assigned to help younger authors
develop their work.
