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 Babson College, Boston, USA in association with the JAOC. Founded in 2005, JAOC represents a new emphasis on exploring how organisations change, and how the change process affects organisational and social processes.
