III edition of Intercultural Management Congress

As a university administrator, the Intercultural Management Congress sponsored by the Academy of Management of Lodz, Poland, and Clark University of Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, affords me the opportunity to meet international scholars whose papers are of interest to me, to see the faculty of our graduate programs grow from their interaction with these scholars and to observe the interest of our students who have the opportunity to see and meet leading researchers in this area.

I found particularly interesting the presentation by our Russian colleagues from Astrakhan State University. Prof. Tatiana Mordasova discussed the changing relations among the ethnic groups of the Astrakhan region and the roles of their business specialties in maintaining peace among the various groups of the region. She also commented on the disturbance of the traditional tolerance as a result of recent immigration.

It was also a pleasure to see the presentations by the students of the Clark University graduate programs in Poland. I feel a certain pride as a teacher as a new generation of scholars emerge from our classrooms to take their place among their teachers to contribute to their own research areas of interest.

I encourage all who share our interest in intercultural management to join us for the next Congress in 2010.
