Summer Workshop in Industrial Organization and Management Strategy


The Summer Workshop in Industrial Organization and Management Strategy (IOMS) was initiated by Chong-en Bai, Ivan Png, Guofu Tan, and Changqi Wu. The aim of the workshop is to provide a regional forum for high-quality research in the fields of IO and strategy. The first workshop was planned for 2003 at Peking University, but was postponed to 2004 owing to SARS. Since then, IOMS has been held annually.


IOMS 2008
IOMS 2008 will be hosted by the National University of Singapore from Friday, July 18 to Saturday, July 19, 2008. The program will last 1.5 days (whole day Friday, half day Saturday).

In past years, a key factor in the success of the IOMS has been active participation by all in both presentation and discussion. The workshop capacity is deliberately limited to foster close and lively interaction and attendance throughout the workshop.
