APPENDIX C: ASSOCIATIONS CONTACTED 

If you are a study group, member you can press here and see updates of our progress with each association. Note: The four study groups are their own entity and we seek to maintain our independences. Yet, we want to work with the following list of associations so that we can get feedback, meetings spaces and other forms of support, each may be able to offer. Each association has its own by laws and policies. We are therefore offering associations the following options of involvement:

1. Most minimum level - just encourage study groups to send in a session (reviewed like everyone else's at the annual meetings).
2. Allow a space for the study groups to meet and talk about this work.
3. Get  some association volunteers to review the proposal and give us advice on
the research methods we will detail in next week. We would be happy to get
some volunteers from a division that knows relevant research methods.
4. Highest level of support. Right now Nike (if they accept the proposal)
will provide some travel money as well as access to factory sties. We would like financial support and grants that makes the project as independent of Nike finances as possible. For example, the International Academy of Business Disciplines is committing some money to the project. 

Those are the choices. Please contact dboje@nmsu.edu if you have any input. If you are a member of one of the following associations, please contact them.  If you have access to grant or travel monies, please indicate it.

"I would hope that what comes from these study groups might be presented at Academy meetings and in its publications by those doing the work. However, it looks like the timing might make that more likely for Rosalie's meeting in 2002. That doesn't mean that Joyce and I aren't happy to receive a proposal from you on a symposium on the theme -- it would just need to be something quite different from this" (Tue, 19 Sep 2000 09:17:09 -0700).

We have been co-sponsored at the Academy of Management meetings in Washington D.C. by the History, Research Methods (RMD) , and Organization Development and Change (ODC) Divisions for four 90 minute workshops (one per study group). At these workshops we are inviting stakeholders mentioned in the project and Academy members to meet work with us to develop the proposal. ODC will act as facilitators. The sessions are open to all stakeholders.

German Industrial Relations Association (GIRA)

"Being on the Board of the German Industrial Relations Association (GIRA) I am organizing the 13th World Congress of the IIRA which is scheduled for September 2003 and will be hosted by my University, the Free University of Berlin. The theme of the congress will be "Beyond traditional employment" and one track will deal with "Industrial relations and global labor standards". I think the topic of global sweat shops from a research perspective would nicely fit the programme and could make it to a symposium. For more information on the congress please see:
