We are pleased to announce that the second biennial
international conference of the Global Accounting and
Organizational Change (GAOC) network will be held in
Boston, USA July 21-24, 2010. The focus of this conference
is on accounting's role in promoting social change
(economic development, sustainability, quality of life for
the underprivileged, etc).
The GAOC network is committed to high quality research on
contemporary issues in organizational and accounting
change. It aims at providing a platform for international
researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to
disseminate information on organisational and accounting
systems change. The 2010 conference will be organized by

of Accounting and Organizational Change (JAOC). Founded in
2005, JAOC represents a new emphasis on exploring how
organisations change, and how the change process affects
organisational and social processes. For further details
