13TH ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT HISTORY CONFERENCE

Call for Papers
13TH ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT HISTORY CONFERENCE
Or léans (France) March 27t h 28t h 2008
The French Accounting and Management History Conference has been, since its first edition in 1995, a key annual meeting for those who are interested in the history of management. Since 1995, we intend to bring together researchers in accounting, management, history, sociology, law or economics ; all convinced that the past is often unexpected and has still much to learn to us.
As usual, all subject matters will be welcomed, but we would like to suggest a particular theme for the
2008 edition :
"The FAILURE"
This theme could include several kinds of papers :
- the history of a failure
- the consequence and the lessons of a failure
- the management of a failure
- the integration of failure in management
- some particular themes like bankruptcy, dismissal, financial krach, crisis etc.

We would like to shed light on failure from different points of view, i.e. accounting, management control, human resource management, marketing, finance, corporate strategy, etc.
Organisation committee : Rahma Chekkar, Carole Grillet, Pierre Labardin, Marc Nikitin.

December 15 2007 : Deadline for submission of papers with two abstracts (french / english). They should be sent at the following mail : jhcm@free.fr.
Any submission will be subject to a double anonymous reading and, once accepted and unless there is a counterclaim by the author, it will be published on the Congress’ Internet site (http://jhcm.free.fr).
