Faculty of Organisation Studies in Novo mesto is organizing the 4th Annual Governance in (post)transition Conference that will take place between 26 and 27 March 2015 in Hotel Šport Otočec​ ​(Slovenia). Topic of 2015 conference is

“Governance in an Unstable Environment”

The fourth conference on Governance in (post)transition can be seen and already called traditional. In the past few years, the conference hosted presenters from various countries such as Sweden, France, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Austria. Despite the fact that we are proud of this, we want to escape rather narrow context of definition of governance connected to the predominantly public administration context. At the same time we can argue that transition became general state of the world, where constant change creates globally unstable natural and social environment.

In this manner we spread the scope of the conference, incorporating any form of governance. By this, we understand governance as anything from corporate management to international governance. However, presenters shall address the general issue of how social, economic, political, and even natural instabilities influence the governance and governing structures at any level.

The preferred topics (however, not limited to) are:

- decision-making in times crisis

- shifting the administrative reforms between business and bureaucracy

- instability of international community

- changes in corporate management in the times of crisis

- management of images (media-created and managed reality)

- technology ruled world

Conference also provides special PhD students panel.

Short abstract shall be send to janja.umek@fos.unm.si no later than 1 March 2015. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 5 March 2015. Full papers shall be submitted by 15 May 2015 for publication.

We are looking forward to meet you in Otočec.
