Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
December 3 – 6, 2011 (Pre-conference of Workshops: December 3 – 4, 2011)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Asia Chapter of the Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD), the top global
scholarly organization in the field of HRD, cordially invites scholarly and applied research
papers for its 10th International Conference to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from
December 3 to 6, 2011. The conference will be hosted by Universiti Putra Malaysia in
collaboration with the Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD), and with assistance
of International Islamic University of Malaysia. The goal of the conference is to bring together
scholars and practitioners in the field of HRD and other relevant disciplines. Beside HRD,
scholars and practitioners from the areas of HRM, Management, Education, Psychology,
Sociology, Anthropology, Philosophy, Economics and other fields of social sciences will also be
attending the conference. It will also be an effective platform for networking through
professional interactions among scholars and practitioners coming from around the globe.
Based on the experiences of the past nine successful Asian HRD Conferences, the participants of
this conference are expected to come from all over Asia, as well as from USA, Canada, UK,
Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and South America. The theme of this year’s conference is:
Capitalizing Human Expertise for Greater Innovation and Creativity. The “Innovation and
Creativity” perspective forms an important pillar towards achieving the millennium development
goals of countries in Asia and beyond. Based on this perspective, the strategies for accelerating
socio-economic growth and development of countries through HRD initiatives necessitate new
mechanisms in updating knowledge for innovative products and services as well as for creative
technologies that will affect the wellbeing of individuals, organizations and society.
The theme of this conference reflects the significance of contemporary research issues, and the
conference is expected to draw large group of scholars and practitioners who are interested in
2
HRD policies, strategies, and practices as well as from other fields that are relevant to the
conference theme. The conference will bring scholarly papers based on empirical research,
conceptual analyses, and experience-based observations from various parts of the world.
Participants will have opportunities for extensive networking with scholars and professionals
with diverse backgrounds from various organizations representing many disciplines. Participants
will also have the chance to gain insights about the Malaysian human resource development
strategies against the backdrop of the country’s rich history and socio-cultural diversity.
