Welcome to the website for the 27^th Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM) Conference, hosted by the School of Management at the University of Tasmania, to be held in Hobart from 4-6 December 2013.

Following on from the successful Perth Conference in 2012 – ‘Managing for Volatility and Instability’ – this year the Conference theme is:  Managing on the Edge.

As management academics and professionals, we have to be ready to stand at the edge of our discipline and be open to, and engage in, new ideas. Managing on the Edge is about taking what we do in management that extra step. It is about being prepared to try new things, to experiment, to be different, and, dare we say it, to look beyond the precipice!

Tasmania is the ideal place for a Managing on the Edge ANZAM Conference. We are on the edge in many ways. As Australia’s island state, we are certainly on the edge geographically. We are also on the cutting edge of politics and public policy; we have a vibrant intellectual and creative culture, and we indulge in some of the best in innovative cuisine.

We invite you to join us for the 2013 ANZAM Conference in Hobart. Come and enjoy our food culture, our wine and epicurean delights; tour the iconic MONA; explore our harbour city, and visit our magnificent World Heritage listed wilderness. And, of course, come for a stimulating and enjoyable conference where you can share your research, hear new ideas and be on the edge!

We look forward to seeing you in Hobart, Tasmania in December 2013.
