Dear Colleagues,
Please excuse cross-posting.
For 20 years I have been associated with the La Londe (France) Conference on Service Management, a multi-disciplinary Conference that meets every other year. International participants interested in service from Marketing, Operations, and HR/OB perspectives come together for four days of discussion, debate, and paper presentations and the Conference has been for me a great source of learning, friendship, and colleagueship. In addition to the unique international and multi-disciplinary nature of the conference, each time slot at the Conference has only two sessions scheduled and each paper gets 45 minutes (!) so the opportunities are many for in-depth sharing and discussion. On behalf of the organizers of the Conference I cordially invite you to submit a paper for possible presentation at the Conference. I will chair the HR/OB track and we are seeking papers that address service activities in the broadest sense and hopefully, but not necessarily, cross disciplinary boundaries.
For details I have attached the official flyer on the Conference with Booking information that summarizes the longer Call (too long for the net ) that is available from me by request and on the web site of the Conference: www.lalondeconference.org
If you have any questions at all about this wonderful opportunity please feel free to contact me (see below).
Best regards, <<La Londe 2008 flyer with booking info fin.doc>>
