About ICMIT2006 ICMIT2006 continues a series of international conferences (ICMIT2000, ICMIT2002 and IEMC2004) devoted to the area of innovation and technology management first initiated by the IEEE Engineering Management Society Singapore Chapter. These conferences aim to provide a platform for international scholars to meet and exchange ideas in exciting locations within Asia.

With the conference theme "Managing Innovation in Emerging Markets" the organizers hope to channel attention to emerging geographical markets with widespread impact such as China and India and the potential markets for emerging products and technologies. The management challenges for these emerging markets are numerous and multi-faceted. How should entrepreneurs exploit the emerging markets? How should the energy appetite of China and India be managed? What and how specific innovations (technological and otherwise) could be introduced into these markets to make more efficient use of energy? With China now being the country with the highest number of mobile phones in use, how will 3-G technologies be exploited and how should product and technology providers position themselves there? Evolving around these and similar questions there must be a lot of scope for all those interested in innovation and technology management to think about and to exchange ideas at the conference. In addition, managing innovation to create affordable and successful products and services targeted for the developing nations, such as disruptive innovation, would be of great interest to both academics and industrialist/entrepreneurs.

We invite papers for presentation at the conference. All interested persons should submit one page abstracts (500-750 words) through the conference website

Right, when was the last time the IEEE led the way, or was even close to right, on anything? But this seminar sounds astoundingly boring, even by IEEE standards.

Perhaps. But Jim Goodnight, the "still code-cranking" SAS CEO, believes in managing creativity, or more accurately, in Managing for Creativity (article in the latest Harvard Business Review). Surely one can manage FOR innnovation.

Until you're 30 and have a family to support, THEN the money matters A LOT.

When I was a manager my approach was to mentor the troops, then let them take all the glory on a project (and I took most of the money ;-)

I spent a month in the Hilton in Kuala Lumpar a few years ago Most of the time I went to the little bars in the back streets, the food was much more adventurous. But the Hilton did have a good pool.
