After 2002 in Växjö (Sweden), 2004 in Edinburgh (UK), 2005 in Vienna (Austria), 2006 in Toulouse (France) and 2007 in Istanbul (Turkey) the EIASM “Workshop on International Strategy and Cross Cultural Management” is in its sixth edition now.

The workshop invites both conceptual and empirical contributions in either International Strategy or Cross-Cultural Management. We are particularly interested in papers that may help us to enhance the dialogue between these two related, yet somewhat distinct domains.

The workshop is organized around a call for papers, coupled with keynote addresses by invited speakers and the authors of the best papers (one best overall paper and one best paper written by a junior scholar).

Professor Paula Caligiuri (Rutgers State University, USA)
Professor Shalom H. Schwartz (Hebrew University, Israel)

A special edition of the International Journal of Cross Cultural Management (IJCCM) will be published based on the best and most suitable papers presented at our workshop. This great opportunity should be a clear incentive to submit papers of outstanding quality.

For more information on the journal please see: http://ccm.sagepub.com

Therefore, it is suggested that all authors, who wish their workshop submission to be considered for publication in IJCCM, closely follow the formatting guidelines of IJCCM in their own interest (see the “Manuscript Submission” link on the journal’s website).
